Recent scheduling updates have confirmed the premier of episode 123 with the new dub as airing tomorrow (October 5th), which will mark the beginning of the Piccolo Junior or 23rd Tenkaichi Budōkai arc of original Dragon Ball.
Dragon Ball originally premiered in South Korea in the 1980s with the original Korean dub. It also aired on Champ TV.
The original series hasn’t aired for a long time before this rerun with the new dub however.
As was the case with the previous arc the channel is marketing it as a “new season” in its latest promo.
Showcasing some punches and kicks from Goku, and one scene where a wall smashes Cartoon Network is highlighting the escalating action in this story arc.
As such it is possible from 1:30-2pm episode 28, which aired last Sunday will be rerun followed by episode 29.
Similarly episode 13 premiered with the new Indian dubs on September 8th and was rerun on September 15th followed by episodes 14-18.
So we can probably expect episodes 28-33 to air tomorrow with the new Hindi dubs, and first known dubs of original Dragon Ball in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
There may be less episodes next week with Battle of Gods set to premier for the first time in India, but original Dragon Ball is evidently doing well as weekday timeslots have been added, likely for reruns, which inspires a lot of confidence in its continued success.
The company has announced Daima will drop on October 14th in Asia, and globally 4 days later.

It has been confirmed that Dragon Ball Daima will begin airing on Tooniverse in South Korea from October 19th at 10pm.
Tooniverse will become the second traditional TV channel to air Dragon Ball Daima, after Mangas airs it in France four days prior, interestingly both cases will be a broadcast of the Japanese version with local subs, rather than a dub.
This is not the first time a Dragon Ball series has been shown on Tooniverse, as they aired the Champ TV dub up until the Freeza arc in Dragon Ball Z before begin airing their own dub from Garlic Junior onward.
Whether Tooniverse will create their own dub of Dragon Ball Daima remains to be seen.
Korean fans wanting their fix of classic Dragon Ball content can still watch the original series on AniBox, which airs four episodes every Sunday from 8pm-10pm.
According to World Dubbing News Dragon Ball Daima, which was originally set for an October 11th debut on Max alongside the Fuji TV premier is now set to be streamed o the platform in Latin America from October 19th.
The new TV anime and final known work from Akira Toriyama was previously announced to come to Max the same day as Japan.
All that is known so far is Max will be streaming Dragon Ball Daima from October, and likely from the 11th or sometime after once the episode premiers on Fuji TV that day.
Dragon Ball has had a dedicated fanbase in Latin America for decades, and this additional simulcast of Dragon Ball Daima will likely not be the last exciting announcement this year.
Earlier this month Cartoon Network promoted the first tournament story arc (the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai) with terms such as “New Challenges”, “New Adventures” and “New Battles”.
Today the first major action-packed story arc wrapped up with the broadcast of episode 28.
The episodes recently aired have been labelled as “Season 2”, likely to emphasize being a part of the second major story arc. Whether this will be a continued trend for the coming arcs remains to be seen.
Every Dragon Ball series, TV special and movie aired on Cartoon Network India will receive five regional dubs in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
The Hiroki Takahashi insert song Mezase Tenkaichi was removed in all of these dubs.
Exciting times for India Dragon Ball fans are ahead.
Cartoon Network India has announced on their social media that they will begin airing original Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Super at 9pm and 10pm timeslots respectively Mondays-Fridays.
The shows will begin airing from these timeslots on October 1st, as announced on Instagram.
Dragon Ball Super has aired in its entirety on Cartoon Network India a few times since its debut in 2017, but this new timeslot should give fans who missed it a chance to catch up.
It is official, Dragon Ball Daima, the latest instalment in the long running Dragon Ball anime series, and the last work of late creator Akira Toriyama is coming to TV.
Mediawan Thematics-owned channel Mangas has just announced the new anime series will be coming to their channel October 15th at 10:50pm.

Mangas has a long history with the franchise. The original Dragon Ball aired on a previous incarnation of the channel named AB Cartoons in 1996, Mangas itself featured the French premier of Dragon Ball GT (the previous series would debut on TF1’s Club Dorothée block) and the channel still broadcasts the older series from time to time.
France was also notably the second international territory to receive the anime after Hong Kong in 1989 and as such generations of fans have grown up with Dragon Ball and still love it to this day.
Thanks goes to my buddy sangofe for noticing this, and for his continued work in bringing all kinds of great Dragon Ball news to all of us.
