* * SeriesFauxnale: For the [=DiC=] English dub. [=DiC=] had initially dubbed [[SixtyFiveEpisodeCartoon sixty-five episodes]] for daily syndication, but poor ratings in America for the syndicated run caused them to decide against dubbing the rest of the season for two years. The show's high ratings in Canada and Cartoon Network's reruns of the initial sixty-five in the US making the show more popular convinced them to resume dubbing the season in 1997.
