List of Dragon Ball

films

Dragon Box: The Movies, a DVD box set that includes

the first seventeen theatrical films, released by Toei on
April 14, 2006.
Since the debut of the anime adaptation of
Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball manga in
1986, Toei Animation has produced twenty
theatrical films based on the franchise:
four based on the original Dragon Ball
anime, fifteen based on the sequel series
Dragon Ball Z and one upcoming film
based on the Dragon Ball Super series.

The first seventeen films were originally

shown as back-to-back presentations
alongside other Toei film productions and
thus have a running time below feature
length (around 45–60 minutes each), the
sole exception being 1996's The Path to
Power (which has a running time of 80
minutes). The first through fifth films were
shown at the Toei Manga Festival (東映ま
んがまつり Tōei Manga Matsuri), while
the sixth through seventeenth films were
shown at the Toei Anime Fair (東映アニメ
フェア Toei Anime Fea). These films were
mostly alternate re-tellings of certain story
arcs involving new characters or extra
side-stories that do not correlate with the
same continuity as the manga or TV
series.

The newest films in the series, Battle of

Gods, Resurrection 'F' and Broly, differ from
the earlier ones, as they are full-length
feature films set between chapters 517
and 518 of the manga, with Toriyama
deeply involved in their creation.[1][2]
Toriyama did have some involvement with
the earlier films, such as checking the
scripts, altering new characters and their
names or designing them from the ground
up himself.[3]

There are also three television specials

that were broadcast on Fuji TV and two
short films, which were shown at the 2008
Jump Super Anime Tour and Jump Festa
2012 respectively. A two-part hour-long
crossover TV special between Dragon Ball
Z, One Piece and Toriko aired on Fuji TV in
2013. Additionally, there is a two-part
original video animation created as
strategy guides for the 1993 video game
Dragon Ball Z Side Story: Plan to Eradicate
the Saiyans, which was remade in 2010
and included with the Raging Blast 2 video
game.

As with the franchise's anime television

series, the first nineteen films and the first
three TV specials were licensed in North
America by Funimation. Dragon Ball Z
movies six and twelve received select
theatrical presentations in the United
States, as part of a double-feature on
March 17, 2006, while movies fourteen
and fifteen were given limited theatrical
runs in August 2014 and August 2015
respectively. In Europe, AB Groupe
licensed the second and third Dragon Ball
movies, the first nine Z movies and the
first two TV specials.

Television specials
The Dragon Ball franchise has spawned
three one-hour long television specials
that aired on Fuji TV, the first two based on
the "Z" portion of the series and the third
based on the "GT" portion. Of these
specials, the first and third are original
stories created by the anime staff, while
the second is based on a special chapter
of the manga.

Though the specials aired on TV in Japan,

Funimation's North American releases of
the episodes are on home video, each one
labeled "Feature" the same as their
theatrical films. This, doubled with the
inclusion of the "Z" specials in
Funimation's remastered "Movie Double
Features" has caused fans to continue to
erroneously believe these to be theatrical
films, when they are not.
On April 7, 2013, a two-part hour-long
crossover TV special, between Dragon Ball
Z, One Piece and Toriko, referred to as
Dream 9 Toriko & One Piece & Dragon Ball
Z Super Collaboration Special!! aired on Fuji
TV.[6] The first part is named "Run,
Strongest Team! Toriko, Luffy, Goku!" (走れ
最強軍団！トリコとルフィと悟空！
Hashire Saikyō Gundan! Toriko to Luffy to
Goku!) and the second is titled "History's
Strongest Collaboration vs. Glutton of the
Sea" (史上最強コラボVS海の大食漢 Shijō
Saikyō Collaboration vs. Umi no
Taishokukan).[6] The plot has the
International Gourmet Organization (from
Toriko) sponsoring the Tenka'ichi
Shokuōkai, a race with no rules that
characters from all three series compete
in.[7]

On October 8, 2017, a two-part TV special

of Dragon Ball Super aired on Fuji TV. It
counted as both episodes 109 and 110 of
the series.

Original video animations

In 1993, Toei Animation, in cooperation
with Weekly Shōnen Jump and V Jump,
produced a two-part original video
animation (OVA) that serves as a video
strategy guide to the Family Computer
game titled Dragon Ball Z Side Story: Plan
to Eradicate the Saiyans.[14] The first
volume was released on VHS on July 23,
while the second was released on August
25. The animation was also used in the
1994 two part video games, True Plan to
Eradicate the Saiyans, released for the
Playdia. The complete OVA was included
in the second Dragon Ball Z Dragon Box
DVD set released in Japan in 2003.

The OVA was remade for the 2010

PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 video game
Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 under the title
Dragon Ball: Plan to Eradicate the Super
Saiyans.[14] It was included in Dragon Ball:
Raging Blast 2 as a bonus feature,
unlocked at the start of gameplay without
any necessary cheat code or in-game
achievement, presented in its original
Japanese-language audio with subtitles
appropriate for each region. It was later
released on DVD in the February 3, 2012
