Dragon Ball Kai (often abbreviated as Kai), known internationally as "Dragon Ball Z Kai", is a Japanese animated television series produced by Toei Animation. The series is a "revised", re-edited version of the Dragon Ball Z TV series, produced for a high-definition (HD) presentation and features re-recorded dialogue, new music, updated sound effects, and new digital effects. The first 13 episodes feature a formal title card stating that Dragon Ball Kai is a "Commemorative Encore of the Broadcast's 20th Anniversary" and is an "Akira Toriyama Original Cut Version" of the series. The series' title, specifically "Kai", was provided by Akira Toriyama.[1]
Plot
Five peaceful years have passed since Goku's victory over Piccolo in the 23rd Tenka'ichi Budōkai and his marriage to Chi-Chi, when a mysterious alien warrior arrives on Earth in search of "Kakarrot". The alien eventually finds Goku, identifying him as Kakarrot, and introduces himself as Goku's older brother, Raditz. He proclaims that Goku is actually a Saiyan, the strongest warrior race in the universe, that was sent to Earth to exterminate humanity. From here the series takes to the stars, with even stronger and stronger opponents appearing before Goku and friends.
History
Japan
In early 2009, Toei Animation officially announced[2] that a "refreshed" version of the Dragon Ball Z TV series, re-titled Dragon Ball Kai (改; Kai meaning "renewed" or "revised"), was being produced for a high-definition presentation in honor of its 20th anniversary. The first episode of Dragon Ball Kai aired on 05 April 2009 as part of Fuji TV's new hour-long Sunday morning anime block, "Dream 9". The block began with Dragon Ball Kai at 9:00AM and was followed by Toei Animation's other mega-hit anime series, One Piece, at 9:30AM. This marked the first time the franchise held a regular television time slot since Dragon Ball GT ended in November 1997.
During its original production, filler material was incorporated into the Dragon Ball Z TV series in order to stretch out story elements and avoid catching up with the concurrent weekly manga serialization. With no weekly serialization constraining Dragon Ball Kai, and the storyline already established, the series was able to cut out much of this material and move the story along with a faster tempo in an attempt to create a higher "sense of action"[2]. In addition, unlike the previous TV series, each episode's prologue and next episode preview could be produced in advance.
Saiyan to Cell Arc (Phase 1: 2009-2011)
The majority of the first phase of the Dragon Ball Kai series (episodes 1 to 98) is comprised of footage from Dragon Ball Z, which was digitally scanned and remastered by Q-TEC, a post-production company specializing in film video transferring and restoration. In addition, re-animated scenes drawn by the Philippines branch of Toei Animation were intermixed within the existing footage in order to reduce "extreme changes in brightness"[3], "replace cuts that had degraded over the years"[3], and to correct animation errors or inconsistencies from the original series. While the series was remastered in a 4:3 fullscreen format, it was subsequently broadcast in a cropped 16:9 widescreen format due to Japan's new broadcasting standards in an effort to transition from analogue to digital broadcasting. However, all of the high-definition Blu-ray releases featured this original fullscreen format, as opposed to the DVD releases, which featured the widescreen format used in the series' broadcast.
Although the series was consistently seeing high rating shares, it was ultimately canceled in March 2011 following the conclusion of the Cell story arc, presumably due to low merchandising sales[4][5], and replaced with the Toriko animated TV series. Shortly before the series' end, Toei Animation acknowledged issues of possible musical infringement in the series' background music and promptly removed Kenji Yamamoto's score, replacing it with Shunsuke Kikuchi's original score from Dragon Ball Z. The last two broadcast episodes (96 & 97) of the series exclusively featured Shunsuke Kikuchi's score, along with all subsequent re-airings and home video releases of the series.
Due to the horrific earthquake that struck Japan on 11 March 2011, the series' broadcast was delayed one week and consequently the final episode of the series was not aired as originally scheduled. It was later included as a special unaired episode on the series' home video release.
Majin Boo Arc (Phase 2: 2014-2015)
In November 2012, Mayumi Tanaka (Kuririn) revealed[6] that production of Dragon Ball Kai was again underway, continuing on with the Majin Boo arc this time, although it was being produced exclusively for international distribution. Despite this, in February 2014, an announcement in V-Jump[7] unveiled that "a new era of Kai" would be returning to Fuji TV in Japan and reclaiming its original time slot. The second phase of the series premiered on 06 April 2014 and the Sunday morning block, reuniting Dragon Ball Kai and One Piece once again, was renamed "Strong 9".
Unlike the first phase of the series, the original Dragon Ball Z footage for the Majin Boo arc was digitally scanned and remastered by Toei internally.

Blu-ray Box Sets
Saiyan to Cell Arc (Phase 1: 2009-2011)
In addition to individual DVD volumes, Blu-ray box sets were released simultaneously. Unlike the DVD releases, the Blu-rays were released in a standard fullscreen format as opposed to the widescreen format used for the series' broadcast. As part of Toei Animation's promotional strategy, the Blu-ray release started with a single-disc starter volume which was available at a reduced price per episode. The first Blu-ray box set contained an extra space to hold the starter Blu-ray volume. Each box set contained an exclusive "Dragon Book", which included behind the scenes information on the remastering process of Dragon Ball Kai, interviews with cast and staff, and high quality reprints of the DVD cover artwork.[9] The cover artwork for the Blu-ray release was drawn by veteran animator Tadayoshi Yamamuro.

In conjunction with the broadcast of the "Majin Boo arc" of Dragon Ball Kai in April 2014, and its subsequent home video release, Toei released two larger collections of the previously released individual DVD volumes and Blu-ray box sets. The collections follow the previous story arc split with the first 54 episodes comprising the "Saiyan & Freeza arc" and the remaining 44 episodes comprising the "Artificial Human & Cell arc". The disc contents are identical to those previously released, with roughly three episodes per disc and include non-credit version of the opening and ending themes. The packaging for each box set includes two plastic stacking cases, with each holding eight to nine discs, and a new booklet created exclusively for these releases. All episodes included in these collections feature Shunsuke Kikuchi's replacement score.[10]

Dragon Ball Kai's second phase, the "Majin Boo arc", had its DVD and Blu-ray home video releases announced in April 2014. Unlike with the TV series' first phase, the "Majin Boo arc" DVDs were released in box sets with identical packaging and episode count to that of the Blu-ray release. Additionally, both formats featured a widescreen presentation, with no standard fullscreen version made available. Each box set contained its episodes on two discs and included an exclusive booklet.[11] The cover artwork for the DVD and Blu-ray release was drawn by veteran animator Tadayoshi Yamamuro.

FUNimation (North America)
Saiyan to Cell Arc (Phase 1: 2009-2011)
Navarre, then-parent company of FUNimation, announced their acquisition of Dragon Ball Kai in February 2010.[12] The series was rebranded as "Dragon Ball Z Kai" internationally and released as such, presented in standard fullscreen on both DVD and Blu-ray formats. FUNimation initially released the series in two-disc "Part" sets featuring the original Japanese audio and FUNimation's English dub, with extras including non-credit versions of the openings and endings and FUNimation cast interviews. Both audio tracks featured Kenji Yamamoto's score up through "Part Four". However, upon Toei Animation's replacement of Yamamoto's score with Shunsuke Kikuchi's, FUNimation's sets from "Part Five" onward featured the replacement Kikuchi score.[13] FUNimation officially discontinued the first four "Part" sets in January 2012.[14]

| Dragon Ball Z Kai – Part Eight | 05 June 2012 | $29.98 | $34.98 | 89-98 |
In October 2011, FUNimation began releasing repackaged four-disc "Season" sets of Dragon Ball Z Kai on DVD and Blu-ray. While these sets were presented with new art on the packaging and discs, the on-disc content was largely identical to the previous "Part" sets, the only difference being that they featured Shunsuke Kikuchi's replacement score for the entire series.[15] FUNimation's initial release of "Season One" retained the original Kenji Yamamoto score on both DVD and Blu-ray, but the set was re-issued with an identical catalogue number alongside "Season Two" with the replacement score. These sets included identical extras to the "Part" sets.

Majin Boo Arc (Phase 2: 2014-2015)
In January 2017, listings appeared for the first in FUNimation's slate of releases for the "Majin Boo arc" of Dragon Ball Kai, more specifically, the international cut, titled "Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters", which consists of more episodes than the version aired and released in Japan. The arc was released in four-disc sets on DVD and three-disc sets on Blu-ray, following the "Part" naming convention of the previous initial Dragon Ball Z Kai releases, but with episode counts more similar to the later "Season" sets. As it was the only aspect ratio in which the "Majin Boo arc" of Kai was released, both formats feature a widescreen presentation. These sets featured the original Japanese audio and FUNimation's English dub, with extras including video commentaries and a non-credit version of the opening and ending.[16] "The Final Chapters" was not repackaged into larger sets.
