Reruns
The series began to be rerun by Canal Futura from 8 December 2008, but the channel only aired the episodes of the first four seasons of the series, except for the last episode of the fourth season "O Pequeno Samurai" with only half of the episode, due to the following seasons being formatted as a telenovela and the episode "O Pequeno Samurai" being considered inadequate and too strong for the channel's educational standard.
