Dragon Ball Z: The Ultimate Uncut Special Edition is Funimation's second home DVD release of the Dragon Ball Z television series, covering episodes 1 through 27. These DVDs were released in North America between 12 April 2005 and 16 May 2006.
Prior to this release, episodes 1 through 67 of Dragon Ball Z were only available with the heavily edited English dub featuring the Ocean Studios voice cast in North America (Region 1). This DVD line was planned to cover those first 67 episodes, and would include Funimation's new in-house redub, Intertrack's Latin American Spanish dub, and the original Japanese version, without the visual content edits made previously.
The content of the "Ultimate Uncut" episodes aired in their entirety on Cartoon Network, with their broadcast beginning in 2005, the same year of their original release.[1]
This line of DVDs was cancelled after its ninth volume in favor of the "orange brick" season DVD sets.
Marketing
Listings for "The Ultimate Uncut Special Edition" started in late 2004.[3] The line featured serious, darker-toned, pointed marketing compared to some of the franchise's earlier commercials and print materials, taking advantage of the content now being visually unedited.
Advertisements were placed in magazines such as Viz's Shonen Jump print magazine announcing the impending release in dramatic fashion. Video commercials for the DVD line utilized font replacements with completely unrelated Japanese characters corresponding to Latin alphanet / English text, leading to humorous fan feedback about watching material "yanena rachiru noya rachimo henachihoya yama tsuna monanaho" — the transliteration of the unrelated Japanese characters that, in the trailer, turned around to say the series' tagline of "the way it was meant to be seen."[4]
