Both series were planned to be released in chronological order in North America by A.P.P.P. subsidiary Super Techno Arts. Despite numerous delays before and during publication, the English dub of the series was eventually released on six DVD volumes from 2003 to 2005. A box set of the complete series in French was released by Déclic Images in 2003. The series was also released in Italian by Yamato Video from 2004 to 2006.

The first episode of David Production's Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan OVA, adapting Episode 5: Millionaire Village, was distributed on September 20, 2017 to applicants who had purchased the entirety of the Diamond is Unbreakable Blu-ray/DVD set. A second episode adapting Episode 2: Mutsu-kabe Hill was bundled with the second volume of the Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan manga, which released on July 19, 2018.

On March 25, 2020, two more episodes adapting Episode 9: The Run and Episode 16: At a Confessional were released on Blu-ray and DVD,[1] alongside a collector's edition including all four episodes on Blu-ray with an additional booklet.
