	The closest example to a hard division that exists for the ''Dragon Ball'' franchise is the actual broadcast break between the original ''[[Dragon Ball Kai]]'' series of episodes (April 2009 to March 2011) and its "Final Chapters" broadcast (April 2014 to June 2015).		The closest example to a hard division that exists for the ''Dragon Ball'' franchise is the actual broadcast break between the original ''[[Dragon Ball Kai]]'' series of episodes (April 2009 to March 2011) and its "Final Chapters" broadcast (April 2014 to June 2015).

			==Pre-FUNimation American Broadcast==

			Prior to FUNimation's acquisition of the ''Dragon Ball'' franchise in 1994, the Hawaiian cable channel [[Nippon Golden Network]] began airing a fully-English-subtitled version of the original ''Dragon Ball'' television series '''05 January 1992'''<ref>{{Cite web\|URL=https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rec.arts.anime/RGHktCgU3HY/YLYGy_e9xK8J\|Website=rec.arts.anime\|Title="Dragonball the series"\|Date=03 January 1992\|AccessDate=19 October 2019}}</ref><ref>"Authorized Viewers Guide to Jones Spacelink of Hawaii, Inc".

The series ran on its weekly schedule to completion, and then moved onward into the first part of the ''Dragon Ball Z'' series. There were no seasonal "breaks" as part of this broadcast.

	\| ''Dragon Ball Z'' secured a one-hour timeslot for its second season in syndication, allowing for two episodes to be broadcast back-to-back; this resulted in a single week sometimes having either two brand new episodes, or an old episode alongside a new episode. A break (with repeats) between episodes 45 and 46 occurred between their respective broadcasts in November 1996 and January 1997. Of special note, the third ''Dragon Ball Z'' theatrical film was split into three "episodes", serving as the end of the first half of the second season the weekends of November 15 (episode 45 followed by the first "episode" of the movie) and November 22 (second and third "episodes" of the movie).<ref>{{Cite web\|URL=https://groups.google.com/g/alt.fan.dragonball/c/a-QciLhhSAw/m/1ezEHxuD3WIJ\|Website=alt.fan.dragonball\|Title="wow!
