<P> The Dragon Ball franchise has spawned three one - hour long television specials that aired on Fuji TV, the first two based on the "Z" portion of the series and the third based on the "GT" portion . 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 . </P> <P> 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 . </P> <P> 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 .

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 . </P> <P> On October 8, 2017, a two - part TV special of Dragon Ball Super aired on Fuji TV .
