List of Dragon Ball films - wikipedia List of Dragon Ball films Dragon Box : The Movies, a DVD box set that includes the first seventeen theatrical films, released by Toei on April 14, 2006. Since the debut of the anime adaptation of Akira Toriyama 's Dragon Ball manga in 1986, Toei Animation has produced twenty theatrical films based on the franchise : four based on the original Dragon Ball anime, fifteen based on the sequel series Dragon Ball Z and one upcoming film based on the Dragon Ball Super series. The first seventeen films were originally shown as back - to - back presentations alongside other Toei film productions and thus have a running time below feature length ( around 45 -- 60 minutes each ), the sole exception being 1996 's The Path to Power ( which has a running time of 80 minutes ). The first through fifth films were shown at the Toei Manga Festival ( 東映 まんが まつり, Tōei Manga Matsuri ), while the sixth through seventeenth films were shown at the Toei Anime Fair ( 東映 アニメ フェア, Toei Anime Fea ). These films were mostly alternate re-tellings of certain story arcs involving new characters or extra side - stories that do not correlate with the same continuity as the manga or TV series. By 2002, the first seventeen films drew a box office audience of 49 million viewers. The newest films in the series, Battle of Gods, Resurrection ' F ' and Broly, differ from the earlier ones, as they are full - length feature films set between chapters 517 and 518 of the manga, with Toriyama deeply involved in their creation. Toriyama did have some involvement with the earlier films, such as checking the scripts, altering new characters and their names or designing them from the ground up himself. There are also three television specials that were broadcast on Fuji TV and two short films, which were shown at the 2008 Jump Super Anime Tour and Jump Festa 2012 respectively. A two - part hour - long crossover TV special between Dragon Ball Z, One Piece and Toriko aired on Fuji TV in 2013. Additionally, there is a two - part original video animation created as strategy guides for the 1993 video game Dragon Ball Z Side Story : Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans, which was remade in 2010 and included with the Raging Blast 2 video game. As with the franchise 's anime television series, all twenty films and the first three TV specials were licensed in North America by Funimation. Dragon Ball Z movies six and twelve received select theatrical presentations in the United States, as part of a double - feature on March 17, 2006, while movies fourteen and fifteen were given limited theatrical runs in August 2014 and August 2015 respectively. In Europe, AB Groupe licensed the second and third Dragon Ball movies, the first nine Z movies and the first two TV specials.

Of these specials, the first and third are original stories created by the anime staff, while the second is based on a special chapter of the manga. Though the specials aired on TV in Japan, Funimation 's North American releases of the episodes are on home video, each one labeled `` Feature '' the same as their theatrical films. This, doubled with the inclusion of the `` Z '' specials in Funimation 's remastered `` Movie Double Features '' has caused fans to continue to erroneously believe these to be theatrical films, when they are not. On April 7, 2013, a two - part hour - long crossover TV special, between Dragon Ball Z, One Piece and Toriko, referred to as Dream 9 Toriko & One Piece & Dragon Ball Z Super Collaboration Special ! ! aired on Fuji TV. The first part is named `` Run, Strongest Team ! Toriko, Luffy, Goku ! '' ( 走れ 最強 軍団 ! トリコ と ルフィ と 悟空 !, Hashire Saikyō Gundan ! Toriko to Luffy to Goku ! ) and the second is titled `` History 's Strongest Collaboration vs. Glutton of the Sea '' ( 史上 最強 コラボ VS 海 の 大食漢, Shijō Saikyō Collaboration vs. Umi no Taishokukan ). The plot has the International Gourmet Organization ( from Toriko ) sponsoring the Tenka'ichi Shokuōkai, a race with no rules that characters from all three series compete in. On October 8, 2017, a two - part TV special of Dragon Ball Super aired on Fuji TV. It counted as both episodes 109 and 110 of the series.
