Status[]
Currently, there's only the 43rd episode of the Japanese dub available on YouTube with both video and audio. Episodes 12, 27 and 42 exist in audio only and aren't all complete. The third episode exists only as a preview. But twenty of the episodes in Italian, in the form of broadcast TV recordings on VHS, have made their way onto Youtube. However, a couple of the episodes of the Italian dub are clips. The Italian dub wasn't rerun since it debuted in 1982 due to TV rights issues. The missing episodes in Italian have yet to appear anywhere and the Japanese dub remains mostly lost.
