The episode perhaps could have aired as part of any Dragon Ball Kai repeat airings (there have been repeat airings of the rest of the various series ever since their debut), but the episode did not air during its originally-intended timeslot due to the Tohoku disaster and impending debut of Toriko.

(It was, of course, included on the home video release.)

(As a general reminder, production of Kai did not stop due to the Tohoku disaster, nor did it stop due to the Kenji Yamamoto incident; it was scheduled to end and have its timeslot pass to Toriko long before either of those happened / came to light.)

Episode 98 was aired on Fuji TV Two in 2015. Other than that, I'm not aware of any instances.

That is because Fuji TV Two is a channel only available in pay satellite/cable television services that aren't very common in Japan. The episode was already officially available on the DVD/Blu-ray release, so it had almost no newsworthiness.
