Toonami’s DBZ Kai Return puts it next to Anime like Naruto and One Piece
The return of Dragon Ball Z Kai comes with Toonami delivering some of the most popular anime series, including Naruto Shippuden, One Piece and Lycoris Recoil. The new Ninja Kamui, directed by Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1 director Sunghoo Park, is currently making waves with its action sequences after its release in January. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba’s “Amusement Park Arc” recently joined Toonami in December 2023 after being considered too expensive to achieve for a long time. It’s unclear how long Dragon Ball Z Kai will stay on the platform; the series previously aired on Toonami in 2018.
Kai’s return is a small victory for Toonami over rival anime broadcaster Crunchyroll, which recently announced more than 800 episodes from the Dragon Ball series will be hitting the platform for British and French audiences. Notably, although this includes the English dubbed versions of Dragon Ball Z Kai and Dragon Ball Super, fans even in the US still do not have access to this version.
