Does anybody have any idea when the 5th Season of Dragon Ball Z Kai, the Buu Saga, is going to air in America? If yes, please add a link here. Thanks. LightandDark2000 ( talk) 03:04, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
Hey guys, I thought I'd bring this up, as we are going to be coming across some complications probably over the next couple of months, that need to be resolved.
First off, let me start of by saying this: We are probably going to need to make two separate episode lists because it has been confirmed that the Buu Arc that is airing in Japanese and the one that will be airing Internationally, will be entirely two different versions. The International cut is reported to be longer (69), while the Japanese airing will be shorter (not confirmed, but Nozawa apparently threw out the number around 49 episodes).
A list of sources are here:

So far, only Korea has started airing it, but Chinese, European, and Latin American broadcasts have been confirmed to happen soon.
Both threads contain a number of resources that would help identify the differences between the two, though we still are limited in what is available, information wise. Opening and Endings have been confirmed to be different, done by different singer all together, plus the episode titles so far do not match with the Japanese titles, except the very first one.
The problem we face here is we will have two sets of Japanese titles, plus the chance that the American version will not be based off the Japanese airing cut, given reports of voice actors from FUNimation starting to record the series back early last year. Thus, listing an American air date, might not be possible for the Japanese cut, so we would need to separate these regardless.
Given the fact Japan is continuing to use "Dragon Ball Kai", while Internationally is using "Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters", it might even be best to treat it as an entirely separate thing all together, perhaps even it's own Episode List page, rather than under there.
I don't know, we need to address, as soon as possible. Any one have any ideas how this should be handled? Mendinso ( talk) 11:47, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
After the English Dubbed episodes begin to broadcast, then we will make changes to the episode listing as necessary. When time comes, we will use the (English) international version as the default, and translate the titles into Japanese as necessary. And even if Vortexx ends, Dragon Ball Z Kai will most likely continue to air. By the way, do you have any proof that Vortexx is ending this September? Even if Vortexx is termimated this September, Saban will most likely replace it with another cartoon block. LightandDark2000 ( talk) 06:53, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
I had made an attempt earlier to resolve this as early as possible (see above discussion), but unfortunately was met with push back. However, now that it's confirmed without a doubt (plus clips show footage of FUNimation clearly using the International cut), we definitely need to resolve this as soon as possible.
Now, the issue is as follows: Japan has never aired this variation of the show, as is cut down from the International cut's 69 episode run of Final Chapters. What this means is we're going to have to resolve how the Episode titles are handled in this section as a result. Basically, thanks to the Catalan airing, it seems we have all the missing episode titles that do not match up with the Japanese broadcast, so we wouldn't just have to rely on the audio presented on the French box sets as a result.
Either way, we need to figure out how to approach this. Some episodes are merged. Episode 1, for instance, has footage of Episode 2 on the Japanese cut, because the episode ends a lot sooner, due to the longer recap on the International cut, so there's really no clean way we might be able to implement this (I'm kinda glad the original planned 49 episodes of the Japanese cut didn't go through, otherwise this would've been a lot more messier) .
I don't know, anyone have any proposal how we should handle this? Mendinso ( talk) 17:49, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
Seems that the changes to the title list have caused a bit confusion with the footnote made about the episodes Japan did not broadcast in that way... the note (2) claims that there are 8 episodes missing from "the Boo arc" but in the table 7 of the (N/A) comments are to be found in the World Tournament Season and only one in "Evil Boo". Can anybody say how it is really supposed to be/ what is correct? -- 176.199.184.48 ( talk) 20:40, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
Hello. An IP, 191.249.119.81 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS), has been repeatedly changing the "seasons" to "sagas" and ignores the hidden comment regarding The Final Chapters. However, Funimation has used the season terminology and I propose we change it back to the way it was earlier with the Japanese airdates. In accordance with WP:3RR and the edit war policy, I'm opening up a discussion on this situation. Thoughts? Lord Sjones23 ( talk - contributions) 05:59, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
What's the 7-season division (and Saga names) based on? The series aired as two runs in Japanese and English, and the list doesn't follow the home video releases either. The only official arc names as can see here are the Japanese home video releases diving the series into three. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LostTL ( talk • contribs) 13:34, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello there. Why is this Wikipedia article known as such and not "Dragon Ball Z Kai"? If this article talks about the series itself, it should be called just and only "Dragon Ball Z Kai". Thanks.
