BTW, does Japanese streaming site (Amazon, etc.) only has censored version of Bio Broly, like the Toei Blu-ray?

...seriously, if it ever gets 4K UHD release, Toei should include both cut or seamless branching; even though censoring/edit was completely unnecessary to begin with.

I heard that DBZ movie #11 (Bio-Broly) is available uncut on Japanese streaming platforms. Same with DBZ movie #12 (Fusion Reborn).
