In 2012, Mayumi Tanaka (the Japanese voice of Krillin in the. Kai originally ended with the Cell Saga in 2011.

We code named this project "Project C.E.L.L". "15 years ago the government began work on a bio-engineering project that aimed to combine the DNA of the world's fittest athletes and most brilliant scientists into a single being. So, when they got the deal with Toonami, that was when Toei issued the contract, and they started to dub.

I do think that in this case, the CW's Vortexx block holding the contract until September 2014 hindered the progress, as they wouldn't air further episodes due to them removing the Vortexx block, which in turn, meant Toei wouldn't allow FUNimation to license it. To them, they are protecting their IP, it is just a shame that they aren't able to see the bigger picture, and allow regions to simply get the product out on home video, or in FUNimation's case, on their streaming service - that is probably just as big as TV right now to many anime/manga fans. They want them to get as much exposure as possible, and in order to do that, they want them on TV so they reach as many of their target audience as possible. The other thing is, in their defence, Toei has licenses that are very popular with children - the big Shonen ones such as Dragon Ball & One Piece. That unfortunately is how they operate, they hold out for as long as possible until they simply just get bored of waiting, and give up on that TV deal. Korea, France & Taiwan (as far as I'm aware) are the only other countries to have aired the Majin Buu Saga of Kai up to now, FUNimation have been unable to release it due to many reasons (I created a post earlier in this thread about what I *think* has caused the huge delay) and Toei were happy to wait for the TV deal (assuming it goes onto Toonami right after episode 98). Toei license out their shows dependent on TV deals, FUNimation were one of the first (if I remember correctly) to air the first Season of Kai, and this was because they aired the show on Nicktoons. They just operate their business in a different way.
