This torrent is a proof of concept. I recommend nobody try this, for your own sanity.
I was inspired by Scoped’s torrent (https://nyaa.si/view/1245105) and decided to try this for myself. If you want a more detailed explanation, go to Scoped’s torrent.
This is a combination of the French BD’s and US BD’s (16:9 and 4:3 respectively). Due to some redraws being modified for 16:9, some shots cannot be combined. Though it’s only one shot in this episode, so no big deal. This episode is also half 16mm and half 35mm, which posed an interesting challenge when combining the two sources. The positioning changes when switching to 35mm, so that was fun to fix.
Here’s a DDL, but don’t count on it always working. If you download the DDL, please seed! https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsVTM2cLu_Ivr3e8rqpRY2vOA-Hs?e=s4CZBS

Huge thanks to Scoped for providing me with the French Kai footage, and thanks to SoM for providing the Funimation BD remux.

Nah, sorry.

Great idea. Wish TOEI had thought of this and given us the FS version like this.

@impakt it’s probably impractical to do that on Blu-Ray, but an uncropped scan of an episode or two on their website would be cool.

An uncropped scan would be even better. Have you thought about combining Dragon Ball Z’s FUNimation BD Season Sets (16:9) with the Merged Dragon Boxes for more picture detail? Seems interesting.

@Impakt That’s not possible, they’re different scans from different film reels. I would manually have to line up every frame for that to even remotely work. That and the 16:9 BD’s have next to no detail in the first place.

@ WTK
Oh, that’s a shame. Thanks for the detailed reply.
