1. Because Funimation initially started streaming the show at 396, they did not own the rights to stream the earlier stuff. They have to purchase a separate license for that.

2. Funimation also has to purchase a license to stream the episodes dubbed.

3. They also have to purchase a license to release the show on BD, which Toei is refusing to do.
