دراغون بول سوبر

Unlike the previous dubs of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, this one managed to have a higher budget, and a much more professional management, which allowed it to be the only Dragon Ball series that went be full dubbed. Its premiere was in 2020, to coincide with the 20th Anniversary of the Spacetoon channel. The fact that it was released that year caused delays, unexpectedly, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, although it did not prevent the dub from continuing to produce.

Despite the fact that Toei licensed this dub exclusively for Spacetoon, it has been reported that it has been broadcast illegally by Algerian television networks, such as Chams TV.

On February 9, 2020, when the official Venus Centre Facebook page posted a teaser for the Arabic dub of Dragon Ball Super, the announcement received a mixed response from fans skeptical of how the show will be handled in general. It was set to premiere on March 22nd (around the week Spacetoon celebrated its 20th anniversary similarly to Kai's aforementioned premier around the 15th anniversary), then be available a day after on their SVOD app, Spacetoon Go, followed by the launch of a toy range in Middle East. However, the 1st episode ended up premiering on Spacetoon Go just two days prior to the intended TV premiere date. From March 25th to September, episodes began to frequently get delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with its TV timeslot replaced by a number of shows including, but not limited to Power Rangers: Dino Charge, Doraemon (2005) and Detective Conan.

But around early July, a number of Algerian TV stations began airing the dub starting with Chams TV, Fans began speculating whether or not the channels had the rights to broadcast the anime as Spacetoon never stated it would air elsewhere on TV, and after efforts from the community to contact Spacetoon, they responded with having no prior knowledge nor approval of the ordeal and confirming the illegality of the Algerian channel's broadcasts which immediately backed off from airing the show all together in early August.
