This is not the first instalment of the franchise to be available on the service as all 153 episodes of original Dragon Ball have also been on Canal+ for at least six months now.
That prospect emerged the other day when ADR director Dariusz Kosmowski said on Facebook he would dub Battle of Gods if his post got 2,000 likes by February 7, 2025.
Dariusz Kosmowski was the director for the Polish dubs of Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball Kai, which premiered on Polsat Games in 2018 and 2023 respectively.
Battle of Gods will be screening in Poland on March 15, 2025, a whole two weeks after its release date in many other European territories.
A week after that comes Poland, and although we have been told privately Studio PDK creates Polish subs for the distributor Piece of Magic Entertainment, and have been requesting them to order a dub we have not been able to double source this information, so for now it’s best to take it with a grain of salt.
The final territory for this new theatrical run is Germany, which opens on March 18th with further screenings that weekend on March 22nd and 23rd and includes dub screenings.
This is great news, as many of these countries have never received Battle of Gods in theatres and will provide fans with another chance to catch the first movie of Dragon Ball’s revival era on the big screen.
Now the Kino Polska group-owned channel GameToon has announced they will be launching an anime strand, which will feature both “Dragon Ball” and “World Trigger” and broadcast several times a day. As both series are TOEI Animation productions it is possible they were acquired in a package deal.
Fans hoping for a Polish dub as Dragon Ball Kai and Dragon Ball Super have received during their broadcasts on Polsat Games may be disappointed as it appears GameToon will be airing original Dragon Ball with only Japanese audio and Polish subtitles, althoughsources have said it is so viewers can appreciate the atmosphere and authenticity of the production.
GameToon have scheduled a daily anime stream Monday-Friday where the first episodes of Dragon Ball and World Trigger will be aired with additional reruns at various times throughout the day.
6:20am – Repeat of the previous day’s “Dragon Ball” premiere
7:00am – “Dragon Ball” premiere
2:20pm – Repeat of the previous day’s “World Trigger” premiere
3:00pm – “World Trigger” premiere
3:45pm – Repeat of the previous day’s “Dragon Ball” premiere
4:30pm – “Dragon Ball” premiere
11:20pm – Repeat of the previous day’s “Dragon Ball” premiere
00:00am – “Dragon Ball” premiere
00:45am – Repeat of the previous day’s “World Trigger” premiere
01:30am – “World Trigger” premiere
This will mark not only the second channel to begin airing original Dragon Ball this year (as Cartoon Network India has just commenced their rerun) but also the second channel for the series to be launched on within the space of just over a week, and a first for GameToon.
As the 40th anniversary of Dragon Ball’s debut in the 51st issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine on November 20, 1984 approaches expect more to be announced in the near future to commemorate the work that made Akira Toriyama a globally recognized mangaka.
Perhaps more broadcasts or releases of the original Dragon Ball will be on the cards to test the waters for a kid Goku-centric show as countries around the world await the international licensing of Dragon Ball Daima. That would certainly be something to look forward to as the original Dragon Ball is often overshadowed by its successors, most notably Dragon Ball Z, but this may be the time loyal fans have long waited for.
