It'll more then likely be 6 parts then collected into 3 seasons.mecha3000 wrote:Since The Final Chapters version of Kai is 69 episodes long, I believe there will be five-part Dragon Ball Z Kai: Buu Saga Blu-ray/DVD releases and eventually collected into 2 or 3 season releases.
Thanks, I've been obsessing and researching about Funimation's Kai: The Final Chapters (Buu Saga) for months now. But, what are you curious about exactly? How it's going to be handled when Funimation FINALLY releases the Buu Saga? Or if it was in Japan's Kai Buu Saga?Valerius Dover wrote:^I think you're on to something man!
There's one thing in particular I'm curious about, a minor thing. The Cell Games Reenactment. We know it was kept in the 69 episode version.
How it's going to be handled. The Z dub changed it considerably from the original, making a lot funnier and cheesier than the original. I already know it was cut from the 61 Episode version. Also, I wonder if there are going to be any cast changes?mecha3000 wrote:Thanks, I've been obsessing and researching about Funimation's Kai: The Final Chapters (Buu Saga) for months now.

I bet you they'll still make it funny, but it might not be as funny as the original Funimation version. Still, Funimation doesn't always try to be EXACTLY like the Japanese version in terms of how they handle certain scenes, but for Kai, it will probably be much more accurate to the original version but still possibly taking some liberties for fun comedic purposes. I can't say for sure though.Valerius Dover wrote:

The same would apply to Super. I don't really see any good reason as to why Funi would go straight for Super when Kai is already complete or nearly complete. The series has only been running for half a year and fans are already expecting a dub announcement of it? As far as we know, they haven't even been able to license it yet.Samwize78 wrote:Once FUNimation's new channel comes out, I'm certain they'd start with Dragon Ball Super over Kai. It'd be more powerful marketing to launch a new channel with a new DB series premiering in English on their network as opposed to anywhere else. Aside from the new dub, the Buu saga has been rereleased numerous times and is widely available everywhere in some format. The goal of the new FUNimation channel is more than likely to air brand new English dubs of new shows as well as of their most popular ongoing franchises (DB Super, Fairy Tail, One Piece). Unless Toei wants them to air Kai before Super, FUNi will probably leave the Buu Saga of Kai for when Toonami reaches that point. I know it might not be for another whole year and it sucks, but we've waited this long already. We'll live.
So you think they're going to release DB Super on the Funimation Channel and on Blu-ray/DVD this year? If that's the case, they'll have to do the first two arcs (Battle of Gods, Resurrection F) again in series form? That is, unless they somehow had access to future Super episodes and were dubbing them behind the scenes, but I highly doubt this. In my opinion, it'd be better to release the Buu Saga of Kai this year so they can give DB Super more time to get through the Champa Arc.Samwize78 wrote:Once FUNimation's new channel comes out, I'm certain they'd start with Dragon Ball Super over Kai.

I always imagined they'd just show Episode 98 on Toonami. It wasn't shown in Japan due to the earthquake that occurred in 2011, which from what I remember, this delay understandably caused the final two episodes to not air for a while until they were eventually replaced with Shunsuke Kikuchi's music rather than Kenji Yamamoto. Nicktoons eventually showed Episode 98 in 2013 (after a showing of The History of Trunks, which was awesome on their part), but it took them one year after they aired Episode 97 in 2012. So, if it showed on Nicktoons, I see no reason why it wouldn't show on Toonami with all the episodes now properly finished.Darkton wrote:This Saturday we're supposed to start the Trunks portion, so it all depends on if anything out of the ordinary happens like, say, a special or marathon. So I guess that means we'll probably start Buu around next year assuming things go well.
Another question: what're they gonna do with Ep. 98? That one's historically been presented as a Bonus Episode; are they going to run it alongside the rest or keep it bonus?
Well, Justin Cook made it sound like from last year that they're already finished with the Vegito stuff. THIS WHOLE SITUATION IS CONFUSING!!!Valerius Dover wrote:^We know they're further along then that judging by that talk with Kyle Hebert. Perhaps he is referring to doing Vegito's voice in a Chris Sabat impression like Justin Cook revealed?
HYPE!!! Unless of course he just liked it to be nice because of your enthusiasm, but I'm still hoping this regards Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters (Buu Saga)!!!VejituhTheWarriorGuy wrote:Guess who favorited my tweet about it?
I guess I was right, Buu Kai is coming soon
