You're reading the podcast outline which covers the music fiasco (which for those who do not know - was a late issue with Kai that had the composer for the series labeled as a plagiarist, and had the music for the remaining episodes replaced with old Z music). Now, you see the DVD and Blu-Ray releases for the series were pushed back in Japan, and when they returned the episodes had the replaced music rather than the broadcast music.
The whole thing about the last episode is later on that page:
Quote:Our buddies over at Kanzentai did some updating sleuthing and found that Happinet will indeed release what would have been the 98th episode of DragonBall Kai later this year on DVD and Blu-ray.
When the horrible earthquake and resulting tsunami hit Japan this past March, many TV shows were preempted with coverage. DragonBall Kai was no exception, and even though it was coming to an (early) end, its "final" episode was never aired — Toriko took its place the following week, and that was that.
Happinet has listed the episode as an "extra episode", and it will appear on the 15th individual DVD and fourth Blu-ray set of the "Jinzôningen & Cell arc" of DragonBall Kai due out on 02 August 2011.
This at least confirms the fate of the episode for the Japanese side of things — it remains to be seen how international dubs will incorporate the now "extra" episode into their production as a part of the regular series, or also as a bonus for a home release.
It should be noted that this episode is an "extra" on the DVD and Blu-Ray release and is not labeled as "Kai 98".
