"The Lost Episodes" is the Funimation designation for the first sixteen episodes of Dragon Ball GT, which were released in English only after the remainder of the series was finished.

Trailer for "The Missing Episodes" on the "Generations" DVD.
Funimation's "Volume #01" of Dragon Ball GT begins with "A Grand Problem", an English-only recap of the first sixteen episodes of the series; it then goes straight into episode 17. While Funimation never issued any sort of concrete and official statement regarding their marketing strategy and basis for this decision, the common and logical reasoning behind this was to get more quickly "into the action." Everything Funimation had done relating to the Dragon Ball GT TV series up until (and through the majority of) its release was to separate it from all pre-existing fan conceptions. Things like music replacement and jumping ahead in the series for its initial run fall right in line with this strategy.
For its initial run of individual DVD releases until the end of the series, Funimation released two discs at a time every one to two months (until volume #15). Funimation announced that once the rest of the series had been completed and released, they would return to dub and release the first sixteen episodes. These were to be released in five volumes. Despite the fact that Funimation chose to call them "lost episodes", it is important to note that no one "lost" them—Funimation simply chose not to release them until later. The collection was only called the "missing episodes" on the promotional trailer found on the "Dragon Ball GT: Generations" DVD (the last regular GT release).
