I don't want to be rude to you, but this isn't the place for something like that.

I very much doubt anyone has them. As far as I know, SOFI, the company behind the pre-Kai French dubs went into liquidation in 2009 so they probably returned all their old masters to TOEI, and we know TOEI has a very poor track record of preserving their own materials, much less any foreign companies productions.

Piracy is also forbidden on this forum, so no one can advise you on where to go to look for the best fan reconstructions of the French dub, but they are out there and are the best case scenario because the original prints could very well be in a junkyard and unusable.
Do you have any info about international non-English broadcasts about the Dragon Ball anime or manga translations/editions? Please message me. Researching for a future book with Dragon Ball scholar Derek Padula :thumbup:

They returned masters, as in film reels, as they dubbed even back in the 80's and 90's.
