Dattebayo
Profile
Dattebayo was a major mid-2000s speed-focused fansub group. Its own archived yhbt.mine.nu page directly proves the [DB] tag and Naruto releases from 105 through 122 in the early phase. Naruto 105 is explicitly labeled [A-H STAFF IN NEW GROUP]. A contemporary AnimeSuki Anime-Heaven page independently uses A-H as an abbreviation for Anime-Heaven, making the staff-origin trail much stronger than the later rumor that Dattebayo came out of the ANBU/AnimeOne breakup. The label proves a staff connection, not every founder, the exact formation date, or the private motive for leaving Anime-Heaven.
Signature style
Early own-site releases use the [DB] tag. A February 2005 Naruto page preserves episodes 105–122, labels episode 105 [A-H STAFF IN NEW GROUP], and documents tracker migration plus reseeding of older torrents.

Bleach
11 / 366 eps · TV / broadcast · AnimeSuki preserves Dattebayo Bleach releases for episodes 50–59 with torrent targets on yhbt.mine.nu. Anime-Treasures separately preserves [DB]_Bleach_82_[35722318].avi. The count of 11 records these specifically documented episode numbers, not the group's full Bleach output.

Naruto
18 / 220 eps · TV / broadcast · Dattebayo's own archived yhbt.mine.nu page (2005-02-19 capture) directly proves [DB] Naruto releases 105–122 and resolves [DB] as the group's tag. Episode 105 is labeled [A-H STAFF IN NEW GROUP]. This row is intentionally stored as a documented minimum rather than 220/220 complete; later Naruto coverage can be expanded when a full Dattebayo manifest is reconstructed.
