DB on Crunchyroll EU will it happen? Frusterated

Ok,
I'm getting kind of mad how every single anime release doesnt show up in europe streaming services, for example disney plus just got bleach and the new bleach show as well but guess what ,not for europe...

Same with dragon ball franchise it came to crunchyroll again not for europe,
I'm frusterated because these are my fav shows and have to resort to buying them..
Right now i wanna watch DBZ Kai and thats just impossible for me why?
Well no streaming services has it,
So buy it then?
Thats not possible either lol
Because i cant find the entire show on bluray for region B only dvds, but dvds are 480p so meh..

Will crunchyroll ever give us DB franchise for us fans in europe?
Its kinda BS i cant even watch kai

DB(Z GT) is unfortunately in a licensing hell of sorts. Back in the 90s, AB Groupe had exclusive rights to the franchise. AFAIK nowadays the rights are with Toei Animation Europe, but I admit it is extremely frustrating and weird. For example in Poland you can only watch Dragon Ball Super on Crunchyroll and NOTHING else. No DB, DBZ, DBGT.

I mean, you can just contact Toei Europe and just buy the rights but they are probably too expensive for Crunchyroll to bother.

For example the new movie Dragon Ball Super Super Hero was distributed by Crunchyroll in Poland but I guess it is because Sony cofunded the production?
