800+ Episodes Under One Roof
Prime Video Japan just became the one-stop shop for Dragon Ball fans in the country. Famitsu reported that four classic series hit the platform's unlimited streaming tier on June 15: Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, and Dragon Ball Kai.
Dragon Ball Super (which began airing in 2015) and Dragon Ball DAIMA were already available on the service, along with the franchise's theatrical films. That means every mainline Dragon Ball TV anime is now streamable on Prime Video Japan. Combined, the TV series total over 800 episodes.
What Each Series Covers
For newer fans wondering where to start, the lineup spans the entire saga. The original Dragon Ball follows young Goku's early adventures and martial arts tournaments. Dragon Ball Z picks up with his adult years and the escalating battles against Frieza, Cell, and Majin Buu. Dragon Ball Kai is a remastered cut of Z with tightened pacing and updated audio. Dragon Ball GT takes an original-anime path with Goku transformed back into a child. And Dragon Ball Super continues the story after Buu's defeat, introducing multiversal tournaments and new transformations.
For a single subscription, that is a massive catalog drop.
Part of a Bigger June Push
The Dragon Ball additions are part of a broader June 2026 content wave on Prime Video Japan. The platform also added the full Gintama TV anime run, Kuroko's Basketball, and The Devil Is a Part-Timer! to its unlimited tier this month. Amazon appears to be making an aggressive play for anime viewers in Japan, a market historically dominated by domestic services like d Anime Store, DMM TV, and U-NEXT.
Looking Ahead
This rollout is specific to Prime Video Japan. International availability for these classic Dragon Ball series varies by region. Crunchyroll holds streaming rights for much of the Dragon Ball catalog in North America and other Western markets, including Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super, and Dragon Ball DAIMA. Fans outside Japan should check their local Crunchyroll or Prime Video libraries, as licensing deals differ by territory.
The Dragon Ball franchise remains one of the most commercially active anime properties in the world, with Dragon Ball DAIMA having wrapped its run recently and the franchise's merchandise and game output showing no signs of slowing. For Japanese subscribers, having every TV series on a single platform at no extra cost beyond a standard Prime membership (¥600/month) removes one of the last barriers to a full rewatch.
