Well, like I said previously, I really wasn't saying much...
considering the show Code Geass (According to Gonstead's Profile picture, he enjoys this series) that has a considerable amount of violence at some points, more than Kai had during its run, airing around the 10PM mark...

Hello Everyone, Episode 98 of DBZ Kai has aired on CN Australia.
Just a Quick Video showing the Dragon Soul Insert here
It was a little shocking to see they didn't censor, 18 yelled "now i'm Pissed!" just like intended, like the home release...
Oh, and I found another weird edit looking through my recorded DBZKai CN Aus Broadcasts of Vegeta and Gohan on Namek...

The Catalán dub is certainly the dub that had cursing everywhere, or almost, just watch this video: http://youtu.be/t3C3EeVr30w

One of the cursing words they used was "merda" which translates to "shit".

FUNimation's Kai dub "cursing" doesn't really compare to this, yeah, Gurd once said "shii" but that's about it.

I just wanted to add to conversation of my post...
It seemed empty with 2 links to CN Australia broadcast videos, and barely any comment to the final episode.

^ Your post was not in vein. Thanks for the upload! A little off topic but I wanted to ask you, does Naruto Shippuden suffer any of these DBK like edits or is it completely uncut (I've heard it has swearing and whatnot, unlike the Disney XD edit here in the US).

Also, taking a look at the CN AU schedule, what happened? There used to be a ton of anime in its primetime lineup. It was really awesome when they aired uncut One Piece back in 2008-9.

I don't really watch Naruto Shippuden anymore, but when I used to I rarely noticed edits, and I though Disney XD in the US stopped Airing Shippuden,
And yeah, there used to be anime like InuYasha, One Piece, BoBoBo, Naruto, DBZ used to rerun almost every night of the year last year. My guess is that Adult Swim being bought by another network scared off a lot of the remaining anime..

So I know this is an old thread, but since Kai has seen a second run of international distribution in the last few years I thought why not share some updates here.

Kai first aired in Poland on April 10, 2023, and The Final Chapters premiered on January 24, 2024. Both were broadcast on Polsat Games.

On April 16, 2023 Kai made its debut in India with five dubs, a Hindi redub, as well as dubs in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada. The Final Chapters followed, likewise in all five languages on August 19, 2023. Both were aired on the local Cartoon Network.

Kai finally received a Castilian dub in 2024 and was first shown in theatres on June 20, 2024. On July 5th of the same year this dub was released on Selecta Vision's streaming platform Anime Box. The Final Chapters began streaming on the same platform on March 24, 2025.

Sometime in October of last year Kai finally made its Netherlands debut on Periscoop's streaming platform GoAnime, but it was subbed only. Contracts stated the license included "Dutch dubbing" but this was likely just a generic license term.

Finally, as of this week there is a Hebrew dub of Kai. It began airing on Junior TV on April 14, 2025.
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:
