Broadcast
Season one of Dragon Quest aired on Fuji TV from 2 December 1989 to 22 September 1990, totaling 32 episodes. Eleven more episodes aired from 11 January 1991 to 5 April 1991.
Saban Entertainment licensed the series, under the title of Dragon Warrior, for syndication in North America. The series lasted 13 episodes.
The Japanese versions of the episodes have more references of a sexual manner, gambling and battles involving blood. More than likely, the rest of the Japanese episodes would not be acceptable on national US television networks at the time they were released unless they were edited appropriately.
The last eleven episodes (Season 2) take a different spin on the opening and ending credits. There is no longer any reference to levels and they have a Japanese pop song playing instead of the normal orchestral theme.
