Dragon Ball Z Kai received this treatment as well thanks to the U.S.When the episodes started to air on Toonami, it got much more popularity, and Funimation started dubbing new episodes in 1999. After two seasons worth of 67 episodes in its first run, the show was cancelled in 1998 due its failure of gaining a substantial audience. This actually happened to the English dub of Dragon Ball Z back in the late 1990s.However, once the show ended up on Toonami, it finally garnered itself an audience, which resulted in the show being continued with more episodes. After leaving syndication, it re-surfaced on USA Network, where it was once again, cancelled after failing to find an audience. Sailor Moon's original run in the US was cut short after only 65 episodes in its original syndicated run.Season 4 finally aired in 2008, with a fifth season arriving the following year.

Rumors the return was a hoax were dispelled when Steve Blum, voice of Toonami host TOM himself, and Kyle Hebert, a fellow voice actor with equal stature got involved.
