Pony Canyon DBZ discs

Just thought I'd clear this up:

Disks 1-22 = 6 episodes
Disks 23-25 = 5 episodes
Disks 26-49 = 6 episodes

Originally the Dragon Boxes were released were released with 52 disks, 49 containing episodes and 3 containing extras. Unless Pony Canyon is planning on going back a re-making a pile of these disks (including rebuilding the DVD menus to fit 7 episodes), it seems far more likely that they're simply taking the Dragon Box disks and popping them into clamshell cases. Besides, even if they were re-making the episode DVDs, then the release would be 50 disks long, to include the Playdia disk.

Ah, all right, thanks. Guess I misinterpreted the specs of the Z sets to mean that there were 25 and 24 discs, respectively, with several of those discs set aside for the specials and other extras. I didn't know that the special discs were actually added on top of those. ^^;

What are these exactly? Are they the bootleg DBZ dvd sets?

Toei and Pony Canyon can't put out bootlegs of their own material :). They're simply individual-volumes of the discs that comprise the two DBZ "Dragon Box" sets, that'll start coming out this fall.

I honestly had no idea what he was talking about. So I just took a wild guess.
