Television specials

The Dragon Ball franchise has spawned three one-hour long television specials that aired on Fuji TV, the first two based on the "Z" portion of the series and the third based on the "GT" portion. Of these specials, the first and third are original stories created by the anime staff, while the second is based on a special chapter of the manga.

Though the specials aired on TV in Japan, Funimation's North American releases of the episodes are on home video, each one labeled "Feature" the same as their theatrical films. This, doubled with the inclusion of the "Z" specials in Funimation's remastered "Movie Double Features" has caused fans to continue to erroneously believe these to be theatrical films, when they are not.

On April 7, 2013, a two-part hour-long crossover TV special, between Dragon Ball Z, One Piece and Toriko , referred to as Dream 9 Toriko & One Piece & Dragon Ball Z Super Collaboration Special!! aired on Fuji TV. [8] The first part is named "Run, Strongest Team! Toriko, Luffy, Goku!" (走れ最強軍団！トリコとルフィと悟空！, Hashire Saikyō Gundan! Toriko to Luffy to Goku!) and the second is titled "History's Strongest Collaboration vs. Glutton of the Sea" (史上最強コラボVS海の大食漢, Shijō Saikyō Collaboration vs. Umi no Taishokukan). [8] The plot has the International Gourmet Organization (from Toriko) sponsoring the Tenka'ichi Shokuōkai, a race with no rules that characters from all three series compete in. [9]

On October 8, 2017, a two-part TV special of Dragon Ball Super aired on Fuji TV. It counted as both episodes 109 and 110 of the series.

On December 2, 2018, as part of promoting new film Broly , a one-hour television special aired on Fuji TV in Japan entitled "Just Before the Dragon Ball Super Movie Debut! Looking Back on the TV Show's Climax ". [10]

Notes

  1. ↑ Available in Hawaii and California only
  2. ↑ Cut to 276 episodes in Funimation's North American broadcast
  3. ↑ The debut date varied significantly across regional TV networks at the time – with most networks airing the first episode during the weekend of September 14-15, but some as early as the 12th. [3]
  4. ↑ This dub was recorded at Ocean Productions before Funimation switched to an in-house cast in 1998. Both versions were produced by Funimation, though they are sometimes listed separately.
  5. ↑ Cut to 49 in Funimation's North American broadcast
  6. ↑ Only 158 episodes were broadcast in Japan. Episode 98 was not broadcast due to the 2011 earthquake, and the Final Chapters episodes were edited down heavily due to scheduling issues. The complete 167 episode version was only released internationally. The Japanese home media release includes episode 98, but uses the shorter cut of The Final Chapters for a total of 159 episodes. [4]
  7. ↑ The title is sometimes incorrectly romanized as "Chou" rather than Super. It is pronounced "Sūpā" in the series, akin to how the 超 kanji is used for "Sūpā Saiyajin" elsewhere in the franchise.
