### **_The Westwood Dub Remastered Release!_** ---  ### **_What Is The Westwood Dub & Why It Takes So Long To Sync:_** This dub only aired in international English speaking countries (UK, Canada, Netherlands etc.). It is a rare lost media that has been preserved by fans who recorded this from TV between 2001 to 2005. This dub **will never have a official release on DVD** due to being stuck in licensing hell. The Westwood dub was heavily edited for TV airing meaning that each episode has approx. **2 Minutes** of cut content. This can be anywhere in the episode. It takes about 1 to 2 hours to sync one episode because of these cuts. We are doing this lengthy process per episode in order to preserve this dub, and to prevent it from being _lost to time_. Here is what the typical timeline looks like for a single episode:  If you want to learn more about the Westwood Dub, how it came to be and how it aired then watch this video: [Dragon Ball Z in the UK](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhA7JddpPqU). --- ### **_Video:_** The video for this release has been sourced from [SoM's Merge R1+R2 Dragon Box](https://nyaa.si/view/1331090).
