Adult Swim , the American television network paired with Cartoon Network , announced at MomoCon on Saturday that it will run Dragon Ball Kai in its Toonami programming block. Toonami will begin running the series this fall.

Dragon Ball Z Kai (known as just Dragon Ball Kai in Japan) condenses the 1989-1996 Dragon Ball Z anime series to more closely follow Akira Toriyama 's Dragon Ball manga. The series features digital high-definition remastering, a re-recorded soundtrack, and select scenes updated with new effects or re-animated footage. The 2009-2011 run of Dragon Ball Z Kai covered from the Saiyan Saga to the Android Cell Saga.

The "new age of Kai" began on April 6 in Japan, and it is covering the Majin Buu Saga arc with more episodes. Animation studio Toei 's Europe branch lists the new Dragon Ball Z Kai run as 69 episodes and the "closing chapter" of the series. Adult Swim did not specify if it will begin running Dragon Ball Z Kai from the very first episodes or the newer episodes in " Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters ."
