Toonami Rewind airing Dragon Ball Z....Kai?

[Dragon ball master]

So it was Announced that on May 31th they will be rewinding toonami back to the 5-7 pm time slot with airing sailor moon, OG naruto and Dragon Ball Z.... Kai. I don't understand why it's an nostalgia thing like cartoon Networks checkerpast block but why would you not get the actual Z. Like they can't get the license for it to air. But the Sunday toonami still airs dbz kai so the Rewind version is on episode 1 and then the Normal is on episode 12 Like this kind of confusion

As I explained in the other thread it's likely because Cartoon Network don't want to have to go through the hassle of relicensing Dragon Ball Z when they still have the license for a competing product like Kai.

Traditional TV is also not the lucrative business it once was so broadcasters are not going to take as many chances as they once did.

As MasenkoHA also pointed out Funimation probably don't want to keep having to pay Bruce Faulconer royalties (which he doesn't deserve), which they would need to do on a constant basis if they were to allow their dub be aired as a nostalgic event.

I already made a thread about this.

Although the obvious solution for that would be to just use the remastered dub with the Shunsuke Kikuchi score (and let's not kid ourselves that is exactly what Funimation would do if they relicenced Z's broadcast rights to Toonami) although then millennial fans would bitch and moan they're not using the American score so at that point...might as well use Kai since at least gen z has nostalgia for Dragon Ball Z Kai
