(L) Dragonball Kai: Dragonball Z's 20th Anniversary Recut!!

[Freerunner]

slightly offtopic:

copule of years ago, i had a .doc file, with a written version of alternate DBZ sequel, where DBGT is discarded, and story contiunes a year after the Tenkaichi Budokai with Uub.

and it was awesome.

unlike DBGT, Gohan was still a Mystic, Uub got to be awesome (near SSJ3 and Mystic), and the story was about first supreme Kais, who died long ago, but their sipirits got corrupted by evil and greed (something like the Ori in SG-1), and they got back to physical world to destroy everything, and reshape universe in their way.

it was an awesome read, cause Kai's were with a lot wisdom and knowledge, knowing everything about sayajin genetics (cause they invented it), and the story was a dual battle - old Kai, and kibit/kai fusion battling first Kai's, mentaly and with ideas, and on another level - sayajins battling first Kai fighters phisicaly.

anyone know about this, or did anyone read it ? i lost my copy, when HDD died .. ?

I don't know, I think it has been worth it despite there being no new material. It's like DBZ with the action and intensity scaled up tenfold.

Don't blame the show for your incorrect preconceived notions.

I believe I said "I" missed the boat on this...If you're not gonna marathon it or watch on a weekly basis then I'm probably not gonna get anything out of it, since again I'm more of type to just FF>> to my favorite parts, sagas, arcs, anyways...Kudos to those who are loving it though, I'm just upset that I waited darn near a year before I knew it was meaningless for me...

Spoiler for Short summary of episode 45:

- Goku gets beaten, starts hallucinating about dead family/friends and a destroyed planet Earth
- "" does Kaio-ken x20 along with a kamehameha (with plenty of new animation), which pisses off Frieza
- "" gets beaten some more and starts hallucinating/hearing Vegeta (I never knew Goku was into drugs!) BTW this scene has a new piece of music, not sure if it's on second the OST (edit: it is, track 30)
-That's it.

Other comment: Bulma/Ginyu stuff ended really quick, I still don't get it why they had to include it surely they could have used some Picollo/Gohan/Krillin footage from another episode.

Spoiler for episode preview:

Preview was much more exciting.
- Goku gathering the Genki Dama
- Picollo fighting Frieza

Two more episodes until Super Saiya-jin scene.

[LuckyCat]

Yeah, the Ginyu stuff was mercifully short. Pretty good episode too. I always forget how badly Goku gets overwhelmed by Freeza in the anime.

That sounds about right.

[Vicious108]

Boy am I glad, Ginyu filler lasted less than a minute.

Which made for a very awesome and action packed episode. With great music once again. They used the piece that played after Vegeta died for his appearance in this episode and it was very nice. It's good that we're still getting to see and hear him while he's dead.

Only thing that confuses me this episode is that suddenly it's stated Freeza is using half of his power, when in the last episode he himself said he wasn't even using one third of it. I guess he powered up without telling us...?

[Shiroth]

Quite impressed at the amount of material covered in this episode, and it pretty much explains the sudden ending there before the preview. Brilliant episode though, especially how outstanding the Kaio-ken x20 looked. & very pleased with the music choice for Vegeta's speech. Made the scene extra touching.

Blaat is pretty much spot on, so only two weeks to go!

I may be forgetting or misremembering stuff but I though Freeza said he was using 1/3rd up to that point and then started using half his power.

[FlareKnight]

That was a pretty packed episode to be sure. Goku just threw everything into that huge attack. It might not have won, but it damn well had to hurt.

Yeah, the music was quite powerful in this episode. I loved the piece during Goku's mighty roar as he begins charging up for x20. Awesome scene.

Spoiler:

slightly off-topic, but is there a reason why goku never uses his kaioken after he goes ssj? ive always wondered that

Indeed, it was pretty incredible music placement, and seriously added so much more awesome to the scene. You could really get behind Goku's reason for such an outburst thanks to that piece.

It was track 16 from the second soundtrack, 'The Braveheart's Triumphant Return'.

Spoiler for Response spoiler:

Because Super Saiyan offers a far stronger power boost than Kaio Ken ever would. And they don't stack.

Hell, even the title is badass.

[Noe]

Hm...Vegeta forgot about Gohan when he was talking 'about the last saiyan' being Goku.

[Vicious108]

He probably meant pure blooded saiyan.

[MushroomSamba]

Anyone else find it a bit awkward that Vegeta decided to show up naked? Even King Vegeta and Burdock had the sense to put on some pants at least.

Spoiler:

not just because of that.

Kaio ken, as explained, uses the "gap" created by a heart beat, to amplify the power of the one who uses it, with a multiplier.

multiplying with more than x2 uses a bigger gap, times the original gap.


in a Super sayajin form - the usage of the gap would kill the user of Kaio Ken, shattering his heart.

proof of that fact is that in the after life, when goku (in anime) is fighting Paikuhan, he uses it, a "super kaio ken", cause of the fact that you cannot die in the afterlive, unless killed again

[Project_MkUltra]

Still in the Freiza saga? I want to see the cell saga when

Spoiler for people who haven't seen the 90's Dragonball:

Gohan turns SSJ2, Gohan kills cell, and most importantly the cell saga with no useless fillers
