Two different cuts of the movie were produced (one from each protagonists' perspective), and both were broadcast simultaneously on two different stations.

Development
The Japanese localization and publishing of Zapping "Satsui" was a joint production of television companies Fuji TV and TBS.[5]
Release
Zapping "Satsui" was first released on VHS exclusively in Japan by publisher Amuse Soft Entertainment on May 20, 1994.[5] When brought to the LaserActive three months later, each of the two cuts occupied a separate side of the LaserDisc. [4]
