Dragon Ball Z Movie #1
Dead Zone (Give back my Gohan)
Toei Manga Matsuri, July 15, 1989
An evil little
Namek-jin, Garlic
Jr., is gathering all of the Dragon Balls together to wish for
immortality.?Since young Gohan has the #4 Ball sewn to his cap,
Gohan is kidnapped by Garlic's minions.?This causes Gokuu to seek
out Garlic (whose mansion is located on a black island to the south of
Kame House).?Garlic also wants to get rid of Kami-sama, so his
minions attempt to kill Piccolo (if Piccolo
dies, Kami-sama also dies, and vice versa.)?So Kami-sama and Piccolo
join in the battle, as does Kuririn.?The minions are wasted, but
Garlic, Jr. already made his wish, so he is unkillable.?Garlic and
Kami-sama fight it out, and Garlic wins (he wants to get rid of Kami-sama
to make way for his own "reign of blood", but he doesn't kill
Kami-sama right away.) Garlic, Jr. gets beaten
up a bit by Gokuu and Piccolo, so he decides to create a "Dead
Zone" (a black hole) which threatens to suck everyone in and kill
them.?But Gohan (who had eaten a hallucinogenic apple, and is still
feeling a bit of a buzz) gets angry, and blasts Garlic into the Dead Zone.
The Dead Zone closes, sticking Garlic into a form of eternal hell.?#060;/font>

The Money Family is hosting a
Tenkai-ichi Budoukai as a birthday present for 10-year old Dollar Money.?

so four of Mr. Satan's pro-wrestling students are in costume as the
"aliens" in the final rounds of the competition.?
Kaiou-sama and Gokuu are on Kaiou planet (Kaiou is watching the game on
TV, Gokuu is playing Go Fish against Bubbles the ape -- the deck has
Uranai Baba and Pilaf's crew on the face cards.)
The elimination rounds are basically 8 batches of free-for-alls; the last
person standing in each free-for-all goes on to a one-on-one round.?
The Final Four each get shot into one of four "Battle Stages" to
face Satan's "aliens."?The first person to emerge from the
Battle Stage wins the 100,000,000 zenni prize money, a trip to a hot spa,
and a chance to fight Satan.?Krilin, Future Trunks, teenaged Gohan,
and Dosukoi make it to the Battle Zones, where they are attacked by real
aliens (Satan's students have already been killed.) Kaiou-sama realizes
that the aliens are Boujack's team.?A LONG time ago, the four
Kaiou's had battled Boujack, and imprisoned him far, far away. Boujack has
escaped, and come to Earth to destroy it and kill Gohan as revenge on
Kaiou-sama, knowing that Gokuu is Kaiou's student, Gohan is Gokuu's kid,
and Earth is Gokuu's planet. There is a lot of fighting as all of the Z
Fighters show up to attack Boujack's 5-man team.?Eventually, the
heroes are trashed, and Boujack is about to crush Gohan's throat.?
Gokuu can't take it any more, and the dead hero teleports in from heaven
just long enough to kick Boujack in the face and save Gohan.?With
renewed anger, Gohan goes to Super Saiya-jin 2 (SSJ-2), and kills
Boujack's remaining minions before killing Boujack.
Satan had been trying to escape since seeing that the Z Fighters had
entered the tournament, but was pushed into a sled and sent to the Battle
Zone, where he succeeded in destroying the camera televising the fight
with Boujack.?At the end of the movie, Satan is again declared
savior of Earth, and no one wins the prize money (Gohan, Trunks and Krilin
are recovering in a hospital for some reason,
while Piccolo and Vegita are already fully healed.?This movie has
lots of continuity flaws and plot holes.?Definitely doesn't fit in
with the manga or TV series.?The best part of the movie is the shot
of the Pilaf card deck.)
Gyousan Money -- Richest man on
Earth.?Short, fat, and balding. About 50.
Okkanee Money -- "Money Money".?Gyousan's prim, tall
wife.
Dollar Money -- Spoiled 10-year-old brat in short-leg bib overalls.

Trunks

Boujack's team.?Evilly handsome; killed by Gohan.

Sangya -- Pretty, evil Blue woman with LONG golden hair.?A good
fighter; killed by Boujack. Boujack intentionally fired an energy blast at

followed by Goten and Trunks.?Burolii thinks that Goten is Kakarot,

after hiding next to a bunch of waterfalls, and relieves himself on top of
Burolii's head).?Gohan senses Burolii's ki, and arrives to join in
the battle.?Gohan's blast causes lava to boil up, and Burolii is
trapped in the magma.?Gohan passes out as the magma inches near him.?
(Kuririn is dressed up like Piccolo as a joke when he saves Gohan.) But Burolii
is a Super Saiya-jin, and the magma doesn't phase him.?Gohan and
Goten use the Kamahameha on Burolii.?
(And, probably because of the Dragon Balls nearby, Gokuu is allowed to
show up to perform a Kamehameha as part of, the trio.)?Trunks
manages to throw an energy ball that distracts Brolly, and the triple
Kamehameha blows Burolii into space,
and into the sun. Videl recovers, and thinks that Gohan was masquerading
as Burolii,
and attacks him.?Goten and Trunks go back to the village to get
food, and Kuririn
wonders why everyone has forgotten about him.?(The Dragon Balls

turned over to him yet.?Then, a minion of a guy who was a classmate
of Satan's, arrives to blackmail Satan into going with him to fight some
bio-tech warriors.?The minion, Menmen, threatens to tell the papers
that Satan was a bed wetter in 6th Grade. Satan caves in, and #18 goes
along to keep Satan from running away.?Goten and Trunks hide in the
back of the car to try to fight these "bio-tech thingies", and
Krilin is forced to take his daughter back to Kame House.
Baron Jagaa Badda has created some pro-wrestler-strength warriors, and he wants
them to fight Satan, just to put Satan back in his place.?Satan
pretends that #18 and the two boys are his students, and they easily
destroy the bio-tech baddies.?However, Goten recognizes the guy
standing beside Jagaa as being the Shaman from the forest village in the
last movie.?Turns out that the Shaman collected some of Brolly's
blood at the battle site, and sold it to Jagaa.?Jagaa had his
scientists use the blood to create the "Ultimate Bio-tech
Warrior."?Trunks and Goten try to use Kamehame-ha on Burolii's
container before Brolly can awaken, but it is too late.?However, the

fighting, the chemicals used in the bio-tech process get loose and eat up
all living things, and Brolly trashes Goten, Trunks, and #18.?Krilin
arrives to protect his wife, and also gets trashed.
Finally, the heroes rescue the scientists, and all of the people living on
Jagaa's island escape onto ocean liners.?The bio-tech chemicals try
to eat Brolly, and are instead turned into an energy source for him.
Ultimately, Goten discovers that the chemicals lose potency in sea water,
so Krilin, Goten, and Trunks use a Kamehameha to create a tidal wave that
cleanses the island.?Burolii keeps trying to kill Goten, but is now
vulnerable to Goten's and Trunks' energy blast.?Brolly dies, and Mr.
Satan tries to swim back home, rather than accepting #18's offer of saving

inept, but pretends to arrogance.

Dragon Ball Z Movie #12
The Fusion Revival!!! Gokuu & Vegita
Toei Anime Fair, March 4, 1995
We are back in heaven, during the Budoukai
held by Dai-Kaiou tod etermine who the greatest dead heroic fighter is.?
The four Kaiou's quarrel over who has the best student, and the final
round is about to start, between West Kaiou's Son Gokuu, and South Kaiou's
Paikuu-han. Both fighters want to win cleanly, and they begin sparring.
Meanwhile, Enma Daioh (Heaven's Gatekeeper) is being harsher than normal,
sending many, many souls to hell for one reason or another (the ones going
to heaven get to ride Ten Airlines, while the ones going to Hell get to
pass through a "Spritz Cleaner" machine that removes all the
evil from them.?Once cleansed, the evil souls have their memories
removed, and are reincarnated to try again.)?Psych Oni, the demon
tending the Spritz Cleaner, is too busy dancing to his walkman tape to
notice that the Cleaner is running in the red.?The Cleaner regulator
explodes, and all of the concentrated evil escapes.?Psych Oni tries
to contain the mess before tearfully reporting to Enma Daioh.?At
this point, the concentrated evil covering Psych takes effect, turning the
boy into a giant yellow squeeze toy named Janenba.?Janenba
immediately encases Enma's Gate House in a magic crystal, and it then
amuses itself by twisting the fabric of space for a while. With Enma
trapped, the dead residing in Hell can escape and roam around on Earth.?
Gohan and Videl set out to combat the dead, while Goten and Trunks search
for the Dragon Balls to set everything right again.?Gohan gets to
confront Freeza again, and very quickly destroys the monster.?All of
the other supporting villians from the previous DBZ movies also surface,
only to be dispatched by the Great Saiya-man team. Shenlon is summoned,
but the Dragon God has to admit that it has no jurisdiction over the dead,
and it can't fix the problem involving Enma. So, Goten and Trunks spend
the movie fighting the endless masses of Hitler's zombie armies.?
(Satan is also dispatching zombies easily, but he's upset that there's no
TV crew around to broadcast his exploits; he plans on calling in a report
to the TV station later.) Dai Kaiou suspends the Budoukai to let
Paikuu-han and Gokuu run off to Enma's Gate House to resolve the problem.?
At first, they try to play with Janenba, until Gokuu starts getting mad.?
Unfortunately, Janenba can do transdimensional tricks, and it punches one
way, only to have his fist appear elsewhere to blindside Gokuu.?
Paikuu-han is told by Dai-Kaiou to try to free Enma (eventually, Paikuu
realizes that by swearing and insulting people, he can make the magic
crystal crack and flake off.) Janenba can also make copies of itself, as
well as warping Gokuu so that the hero will appear in front of his own
Kamehameha. Gokuu switches up to SSJ-3 and pummels Janenba.?The
creature melts, only to turn into the next-stage version -- Changed
Janenba.?Janenba now uses a series of warp tricks ?la "Total
Recall", and trashes the SSJ3 Gokuu. Gokuu escapes deeper into Hell,
first hiding in the Pool of Blood; then he gets rescued by the dead Vegita.?
(Vegita reminds Gokuu that only Vegita has the right to destroy Gokuu.)?
Vegita attacks Janenba, and also gets trashed.?Vegita's body flies
towards the Mountain of Needles, and is caught by Gokuu.?Gokuu tries
to get Vegita to do Fusion with him, but the Saiya-jin Prince would rather
die first (Gokuu points out that Vegita IS dead.)?Vegita's pride is
tearing him up, and Janenba attacks the mountain, causing Gokuu to grab
Vegita's shoulder and teleporting them both to a safe zone.?Vegita
relents, and Gokuu shows him the Fusion pose.?Vegita is appalled at
the idea of having to do something so stupid.?But, there is no time
left, so the two of them perform Fusion. Vegita forgets to extend his
right forefinger, and the resulting Fat Gogita attracts Janenba's
attention.?The ensuing battle is plain slapstick (Gogita's only
successful attack is a series of foul-smelling farts.)?At the last
moment, just as Janenba is going to destroy Gogita, the Fusion wears off
(it took 30 minutes) and the two Saiya-jin run away again.?Kaiou
(West Kaiou was receiving a lot of abuse from his siblings for having such
a useless student) telepaths out that Vegita botched the pose.?So,
they try again.?And are interrupted by Janenba. Paikuu-han succeeds

Dragon Ball Z Movie #13
Dragon Fist Explosion!!! If Gokuu Can't do
it, Who Else Can?
Toei Anime Fair, July 15, 1995
A long time ago, a group of evil magicians
brought a huge, skull-faced demon -- Hirudegarn -- to life to terrorize
their planet.?The demon could only be controlled by two gourd
whistles and a legendary sword.?Tapeon and his little brother,
Minosha, had used the gourd whistles to play a song that calmed Hirudegarn
long enough for the demon to be cut in two, and trapped within the bodies
of the two brothers.?Tapeon was sealed in a music box and shot out
into space.... It's a busy day in
Satan City for the crimefighting team Great Saiya-man (Gohan is Saiya-man
1, and Videl is Saiya-man 2) when they get a call that a crazy old man is
trying to commit suicide by jumping from a tower.?The old man, Hoi,
is rescued, and he shows Gohan a box that can't be opened. The boy tries
to turn the crank, but can't.?The box is given to Bulma, but her
science toys can't see inside it.?So, the Z Fighters round up the
Dragon Balls and ask Shenlon to make the box open.?This happens, and
Tapeon steps out. Minosha, who used to
look just like young Trunks, was killed long ago, and his half of the
demon starts stalking Satan city and trashes it.?Tapeon escapes to a
deserted factory plant, and is followed by Trunks (Trunks keeps bringing
food to Tapeon, but Tapeon keeps chasing him away.)?When Tapeon
falls asleep, his half of the demon tries to escape from his body, but is
then recaptured when Tapeon wakes up again.?Eventually, Tapeon is
befriended, and he explains everything to Buruma.?Buruma tries to
make a demon-capturing bedroom, but Hoi is using his own magic to awaken
Hirudedarn.?Tapeon's half of the demon escapes Buruma's trap and
becomes whole again. The Z
Fighters help trash the city in their attempt to defeat the demon, and
Goten and Trunks use Fusion to become Gotenks (but, Gotenks' energy
attacks cause the demon to go into a cocoon phase before emerging as a
giant WINGED demon.)?The Z Fighters get mulched, Tapeon tries to use
his whistle, but it shatters.?Trunks tries to use Tapeon's sword on
the demon, but Gokuu switches to Super Saiya-jin 3, and announces that
Hirudegarn is HIS to defeat.?Gokuu pulls out a Super Punch (Ryuuken)
and destroys the demon. Afterwards, Bulma makes a time machine to return
Tapeon to the time when the boy had been shot into space, and Tapeon gives
the sword to Trunks (thereby explaining how future Trunks came by the
sword that had been used to carve up Freeza and Freeza's Father in the
manga.)?#060;/font>
Tapeon -- A teenaged elf with a
bright red mohawk and a gold band connected to the back of his head.?

T.V. Special #1
TrunksToei Anime Fair, February 22, 1993
The Trunks Special opens with a scene that was barely averted in the regular DB timeline: Goku dying of the heart disease that he picked up on Planet Yardrat. The scene switches forward thirteen years later, after Android #17 and #18 have effectively wiped out all of the Z Soldiers, as well as the majority of Earth's Population. You are treated to a scene of them destroying the city of Pepper Town, and Trunks, now 13, deciding to do something to save the people there. He arrives too late, and nearly gets killed, but is rescued by Mirai (adult) Gohan. Trunks then persuades Gohan to train him to fight back against the androids, and the two train for five years. All the while, Trunks is steadily trying to reach Super Saiya-jin during training, but fails every time (Although he does come close once or twice). Meanwhile, the androids attack a local amusement park (The last one in existence), and Gohan and Trunks try to fight them. Both are defeated rather quickly, and Gohan loses his arm. The two just barely recover before the androids attack yet another city. Gohan decides to face them alone, but Trunks insists on coming along. Gohan tricks him and knocks Trunks unconscious to keep him from dying, and Gohan faces the androids for what he knew would be the last time. Shortly afterward, Trunks wakes up and follows where Gohan went--only to find him dead. In a heart-wrenching scene, Trunks develops the rage necessary to finally reach Super Saiya-jin. The scene switches forward another three years, to when Trunks attempts to fight the androids by himself. He fails again, but survives the battle, and then realizes what he has to do. Using the time machine built by his mother, Trunks travels twenty years in the past to avert their doomed future.

T.V. Special #2
BardockToei Anime Fair, October 17,1990
The Bardock Special opens with a shot of Planet Vegita and one simple statement made by the narrator. "On the Planet Vegita, a baby has been born..." From that, the scene switches to the planet Kanassa, where some Oozaru Saiya-jin are wreaking havoc on the native fishmen. The morning after, we learn through conversation that one of them, Bardock by name, is the father of a new baby boy named Kakarotto. He goes on to explain that a mineral on the planet creates a pyschic ability in the Kanassa-jin. Bardock makes a few disparaging comments about his son's low potential when he is attacked by the last surviving member of Kanassa. The attack is extremely short-lived, as the alien simply taps bardock on the back of the head before getting blasted. Before he dies, the alien makes a prophecy that Bardock will see the death of his people, and the death of himself. After Bardock completely destroys the alien, he passes out. Meanwhile, in Furiza's spaceship, Furiza overhears Zarbon and Dodoria making some comments on the problem of the Saiya-jin power, and quietly comes to a decision about them. He sends Prince Vegita off to clear a small planet, and begins making preparations. Back on Planet Vegita, Bardock's team goes ahead to the next target: Planet Meat (Bardock himself is recovering in the regeneration tank). Bardock wakes up shortly afterward, knocked somewhat off-balance by a dream of everyone dying
, and takes a quick check on his son's power level before rushing off to join his fellow teammates. On Meat, Bardock finds nearly all of his group dead, except for Toma, who is mortally wounded. Toma explains that it was all Furiza's doing, and to escape before Bardock is also murdered. Bardock cleans the blood off all of their faces with a rag, which he wears it as a bandanna before facing Dodoria's four henchmen (who had killed his friends). The henchmen go down easily, but he is smacked around like a doll by Dodoria, who leaves him for dead. Bardock recovers, and has another prophetic vision similar to the ones that he had been experiencing earlier as he travels back to Planet Vegita to warn the other Saiya-jin. Shortly after landing, he makes the connection of what is going to happen. Bardock attempts to warn the other members of his race, but they all laugh him off. He decides to take matters into his own hands, and attacks Furiza's ship directly. After Bardock mows down a couple hundred footsoldiers, Furiza himself hovers out of his ship. Bardock uses his full might on Furiza, but his opponent is just too powerful. With the death ball that also destroys Planet Vegita, Bardock is killed. Just before he dies, Bardock has one final vision of the future: That his son would be the one to destroy Furiza. Meanwhile, a lone Saiya-jin space pod lands on a small, insignificant blueish planet in the Sol system, and its one passenger is discovered by an old man named Gohan.
