Volume 44's cover art is the same as the original, uncut VHS release. The edited VHS release of this volume featured different art of Kuririn holding the deactivation device.

Continuing onwards with their success from before, FUNimation's "remastered" DBZ Season Five boxset saw its release to DVD in May 2008. This particular set combines the episodes from "Series # 8" and "Series # 9" as originally released. Touted as a complete remastering, this release was produced in a (cropped) widescreen presentation with a "remastering" process by Video Post & Transfer in Texas. Despite FUNimation's claims, the set is indeed cropped (missing approximately 20% of its vertical resolution while only gaining approximately 5% of its horizontal resolution), it is not remastered frame-by-frame from its original film, and the color has been adjusted. Of note is the inclusion of a new audio track, featuring FUNimation's traditional voice track (with minor line alterations where appropriate) played alongside the original Japanese musical score.
