So now the two biggest points of a Kai version for the Buu arc are gone: less filler removal and a horrible remaster. The quality has a HUGE drop, and a yellow tint was added by mistake as the computer monitors used were not properly calibrated. Whereas Toei paid QTEC to remaster the footage for the first 98 episodes of DBZ Kai, the Buu arc was done internally at Toei. The remastering process was gimped as well. Right off that bat, the biggest point of a Kai version for the Buu arc is mostly gone. If I remember correctly, Kanzenshuu said that the international cut only removed 25% of the filler from the series while the cut that actually did air in Japan removed only 33% (it got 9 less episodes than the rest of the world did). The filler removal is less than I would have hoped for. But since this was never planned to air in Japan and the first Kai got low ratings, Toei half-assed this as much as they possibly could.
Investors wanted it for the overseas audience, thus they went ahead with it after all. While it's better than the Z version for the filler that was removed, Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters is a poor sequel to the original Dragon Ball Z Kai that we received a few years ago.Īfter the end of DBZ Kai with its lower than expected ratings, Toei did not plan to make a Kai for the Majin Buu arc of the series.
