Notes:

The JPBD was used as it presents the show at the highest bitrate available in its proper aspect ratio with original title cards and credits.
Minor global filtering was done although nothing like what was necessary for our other releases. The video is presented how it is on the BD with all that entails (so no redraw replacements etc)

Notes:

Kai was originally scored by Kenji Yamamoto, who was fired in 2011 for plagiarism with only three episodes left in the series. As a result music composed by Shunsuke Kikuchi for DB/Z was reused for the last three episodes, was ported over to the uncut English dub beginning with episode 53, and eventually replaced the entirety of the original score in all languages. Both official versions of the Yamamoto and Kikuchi scores are present in this release at the highest quality available.
Episodes 53-95 of the English dub with Yamamoto score were never officially released by FUNimation. In 2014, SuperSaiyanHedgehog began reinserting the official Yamamoto score placements into the English dub for the remainder of the series, however this was not done losslessly. Mr Yosha has since redone a few episodes losslessly, which are presented here.
Episodes 96-98 were never officially released in any language with the Yamamoto score. SuperSaiyanHedgehog, with assistance on placements from Kei17, created a custom score for those episodes. In 2024 those placements were added to the Japanese track by SpeedoX. While we normally do not include fan rescores, they are included here for completionism.
The Nicktoons edited dub is not included as it proved to be too difficult to properly sync in many episodes due to excessive censorship.

Notes:

Stylized subs are designed to mimic the look of the original Japanese text for all signs and onscreen text.
The signs/songs track is meant for use with the FUNi English dubs.
If you don’t care for stylized subs, then we have included a basic subs track as well.
Dubtitles are sourced from Hulu rips and were retimed to match the BD.
JP subs were sourced from Kitsunekko and were retooled by butler to meet our standards.
As always we recommend MPV for proper subtitle playback. If you insist on using MPC-HC please use the VSFilter sub renderer.
