Anime Review:
I think that this movie goes to fast. I mean, they barely even mourn over Goku's death, the battle between the Z warriors lasts two seconds (if you want a more detailed account of that battle, I would recommend buying the tape with the episode where Trunks goes "Ultra-Super-Saiyan," while battling with (perfect) Cell.
In my opinion, this is the best of all the DBZ specials. Both dubb and subb versions are great. In the begining Goku dies from the heart virus that Mirai(future) Trunks warns him about in the seris. Shortly six months later, on and Island nine miles south-west of South City, a horible duo launched an attack. As always the Z-Senshi (earth's specail forces, have to come and save the day, but not this time. Piccolo was the first to try, and the first to die. Vejita was next to fall. Then Yaumcha, and Tienshinhan. Even Kuririn was destroyed by this ruthless duo. Gohan is the only one to survive.
The main plot starts 13 years after the Z-Senshi (earth's special forces), where killed. Juuhachi-Gou (android 18), and Juuana-Gou (android 17), are just two androids who hate the people of Chikyuu (earth), and take it upon themselves to kill everyone. Fighting against them is an adult Gohan, and his pupil 14 year old Trunks. While Gohan is training Trunks to become a Super Saiya-jin, Buruma(bulma) is making the infamous time machine.
Durring one particular training seson, Trunks qestioned Gohan why he couldn't become a Super Saiya-jin. Gohan responed saying that Trunks just didn't have the right insperation yet. Soon after Juuhachi-Gou and Juuanna-Gou launch another attack. Leaving Trunks behind, Gohan heads out to fight to the androids, and ends up losing his life. With the death of Gohan, Trunks is finally able to reach a Super Saiya-jin
Three years after Gohan's death, the two androids are still tearing up Chikyuu(earth). Soon after destroying yet another city, Trunks shows up and gets his butt kicked. Along with getting the stuffing beat out of him, Trunks nearly dies.
In the end Buruma(bulma) finishs building the time machine, and Trunks goes back into the past.
I really enjoyed this DBZ special. Although I think the main reason was, it included Juuhachi-Gou (android 18), one of my favorite DBZ onnas. I think that this addition to any DBZ collection will be well worth it
Grade: B(Plus) - Fans girls will droll over this pretty boy. Look at those arm's.
