This paper examines the presence and accessibility of all 291 episodes of the anime Dragon Ball Z (1989–1996) on the Internet Archive (archive.org). It explores the legal and ethical dimensions of fan-uploaded content, the technical state of these uploads (quality, languages, and completeness), and the role of the Internet Archive as a digital repository for at-risk media. The paper concludes that while the Archive hosts multiple complete series collections, users must navigate issues of copyright, video quality variance, and potential removal due to Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown requests.
