Previous to this release, episodes 19 through 21 of Dragon Ball Z were not available subtitled in North America (Region 1), having only been available heavily edited on VHS and DVD featuring the Canadian ("Ocean Studios") voice cast. The "Ultimate Uncut Edition" DVD line was planned to cover the first 67 episodes with Funimation's new in-house redub, but was cancelled after Volume 9, in favor of future "season" releases; the content of the "Ultimate Uncut" episodes did, however, air in their entirety on Cartoon Network and Toonami's "Adult Swim" block.
