US Dragonball Episode # ?? Summary
(I don't know the episode summary of this episode, but starting next week we'll
label the episode numbers)
Vegeta heads out to hunt out Gohan and Krilyn for Dragonball, who are travel
ing to the Guru. Bulma goes on her own quest in the ocean using an underwater
machine, after losing the Dragonballs because Freeza fired a large beam. After
she get's the Nameck Dragonball, 2 of Freeza's soldier's come. New
People:Freeza's Henchmen-2 of Freeza's soldiers that took Bulma to find the
Dragonballs. One of them looks like a human, and the other one that carries
Bulma around looks like an alligator. "Scramble for the Dragonballs" Freeza's
Henchman takes Bulma so that they can get Dragonballs to Freeza. They fly
and Bulma wonders who Freeza is and thinks it is the end of her life. She
remembers all her past quests with Gokou and how many close calls there
were. She screams and bites the alligator henchman's hand and falls to the
ground. The alligator soldier catches her and both soldiers land in a crater
(maybe Vegeta did something there?) Bulma states she dosn't know where the
Dragonballs are. The 2 Henchman are confused why Freeza wants the
Dragonballs so much. Bulma tells them that the Dragonballs can make them the
most powerful beings in the universe. The alligator starts thinking about how
good it can be to be more powerful than Freeza while the other soldier thinks
she is lying. The alligator convinces the soldier that looks like a human to
search for the Dragonballs. The alligator though says that if she is lying, she'll be
in deep trouble. Bulma swears she is telling the truth. The henchman start to
take Bulma again. Bulma says that it would be better if they look for the
Dragonballs on there own. The alligator(I will now also state him as the leader
of the 2 henchman because he seems to do all the work) asks one more time
where are the Dragonballs. Bulma lies and says they are at the bottom of the
sea. The LEADER says she will sink with the Dragonballs if they aren't there.
The 2 soldiers and Bulma head out to find the Dragonballs. *Commercial
Break* In Gokou's ship, Gokou is training under 100 times gravity. The ship
and himself are a wreck. He powers up his Kaiou-ken Techinique and powers
up a ki attack. Gokou seems as if he is working on his dodging abilities. Gokou
fires another Kame-hame-ha. After, both attacks hit Gokou from the front and
back. Gokou, standing, seems Okay. He starts saying that the training had
really been paying off. The 2 henchman bring Bulma to a beach (as a matter of
fact the same beach where she lost the Dragonball). Bulma says that they don't
permit animals at beachs and the leader of the henchmen tells her to Shut up.
Bulma says that she can't breathe underwater, but with no luck, she is forced to
use her underwater machine to find the "Dragonballs." The search underneathe
the water begins. Bulma says that if she dosn't think of a way to trick the 2
henchmen, she'll never see dry land ever again. They search for a long time, but
they don't see anything. The alligator screams at Bulma and asks where are
they. The group comes across a cyclone that Bulma left after the quest she
went on. Bulma hopes they go down and she can escape, but all of them (they
carry Bulma down) travel down the cyclone. Now deep in the ocean, Freeza's
Henchman are about to kill Bulma, but she says that the Dragonballs are in the
cavern just ahead of them. *Commercial Break* The group go into the long
cavern and they come across many spheres. The 2 henchman are amazed by
how many HUNDEREDS of Dragonballs there are. They try to take one but it
seems impossible to pick up. They but down the REAL Dragonball and try to
lift the FAKE Dragonball up. Bulma stands there think ing when she can get the
REAL Dragonball and escape. All of a sudden, crabs come out of the
"Dragonballs." The 2 henchman realize it is a trick. Bulma turns off her lights
and escape. Meanwhile, an angry large crab mother attempts to kill the 2
henchman for trying to take her eggs. The henchmen fight while Bulma is
escaping. Bulma arrives at shore. All of a sudden, the 2 henchmen escape out
of the water, but so does the GIANT crab, who takes them both down back
to the sea, and never seen again. Bulma says the day is wore then getting a
date. She screams, wanting to know where Krilyn and Gohan are. Krilyn and
Gohan are on there way to the Guru. Krilyn isn't to sure how far Guru is away
from where they are. He says they better head out because he has bad feelings
of Bulma. Krilyn and Gohan continue their way to Guru when Vegeta senses
them with his new power. He hopes that he can get the last Dragonballs (he
has 6 of them) to wish for immortal life. He travels to get Gohan and Krilyn.
Freeza is standing and awaiting the arrival of the Ginyu Force, that are just
passing Sector 9034XY and will be arriving soon. Freeza says that soon all the
Dragonballs will be in her hands.
*End of Episode*

Story of the Month:
Dragonball Final Bout
For all Dragonball fans that own the Sony Playstation system, Bandai is
creating a Dragonball GT game exclusively for the Sony Playstation. And
unlike all the other games, this one uses polygons for 3-D action, unlike
DragonballZ Legends which was 3-D but had 2-D art. It should be controled
like Tobal No. 1 and Toshiden.
In this game besides the stunning graphics is a unique combat system and
the concept of upgrading your character from weak to powerful from experience.
You can do this in different ways, like specializing in either continuous
combos, or fireball attacks.
In the game, 10 playable characters are on the selection screen, ready
to be used. While 8 is believed to be hidden. The playable characters are
Gokou, Chibi-Gokou, Vegeta, Piccolo, Trunks, Gohan, Pan, while the Bad Guys
include Cell, Freeza, and Kid Buu.
What about the eight hidden characters? Gogeta is hoping for a SS4 Gogeta, Vegittoe, or Gokou.
7 hidden characters are SS Gokou(Z), SS Gokou(GT), SS Chibi-Gokou(GT), SSTrunks, SS Vegittoe, and
Super Saiyajin Seinen Trunks(Future Trunks?). What about the SS4 Characters? It has been confirmed
that SS4 Gokou is one of the Secret Characters. The 8th is believed to be Vegeta-Bebi Oozaru. And
believe me he is big. The characters are up to the height of his knee. If you want more information about
the Final Bout Secret Characters, Visit Wuken's Homepage.
If you haven't played the previous Dragonball games, here is what it should be like. You can fight
in either the ground or the air. You can punch kick, shoot fireballs and more, including combos. One
feature is the power meter, which tells you how much Ki have absorbed. If you have enough Ki, you
can shoot super attacks, such as maybe a Kame Hame Ha.. Unlike all the other Dragonball games, this
one is planned to come to the U.S! It should be in Japan by August 21st while it will strike the U.S
sometime 4th quarter. If you wanna know how great this PLAYSTATION GAME is, talk to chibi-trunks,
who played the game and said it was the best. Sorry N64 and Saturn Fans, maybe next time!
Dragonball Chronicles News
As far as this month dragonball chronicles has become very popular. Due to it's success we are planning
to create a homepage specially for this newsletter. Tell us what you think. Also, we are still deciding on
the name for this newsletter. Please send us your feedback to make this newsletter the best on the net.
Dragonball T.V. In America
Due to an amazing success during the first 1 year of DragonballZ,
having higher sweep ratings than Friends or X-files, Funimation decided
to continue into the Freeza series. And because of the immense series and
popularity, Funimation decided to air 2 back to back 30 minute episodes.
If you know your math, that means 1 hour of Dragonball every weekend. Yes,
you heard what we said, 1 HOUR OF DRAGONBALL
What is now showing is the Freeza series. Incase some of you new
to Dragonball people, the Freeza series the most famous and popular series.
The series is about Gokou and the others traveling to Nameck to wish
Piccolo and Kami-sama back, therefore bringing back to Earth the 7 Dragonballs.
Yet on Nameck they meet the Ginew Group, who are some how related to Freeza,
the star villian. What makes the Freeza series so important is it introduces
the concept of the Super Saiya-jin form. Many of you Vegeta fans out
there will also be happy since Vegeta will become part of the Z time finally.
Freeza also links to other DragonballZ movies. If it weren't for Freeza,
many movies would be different.
Funimation is also planning on an American Dragonball T.V.
special. They say it will be DragonballZ Movie 3. Incase you people never saw
Movie 3 or don't know what it is about, it is about Taurus, a leader of a group
of saiyans that plant a holy tree on Earth. Who ever eats the fruit that
grows from the tree will get immense evil power. Now, it is up to Gokou to
destroy the tree before Taurus or other things start to eat the fruit from the
tree.
What's So Bad About American Dragonball?
As the first season has ended and the second season starting we look back at what they showed as
Dragonball Z. We think about how they censored and took out a lot of the parts and think that the
Dragonball of America will never be the same as the original. It may not be the same, but what about
those who never saw the original. We should be happy that we are getting this program here. To finally
wake up and just be able to turn on the TV to watch Dragonball instead of specially ordering it from
special places just to watch it makes us all happy and excitied. Like when my friends and I first watched
Dragonball on TV we were all excitied just to be able to watch it. We weren't mad for what has been
done to the program, we were happy we were able to see it. For all of you who don't like censorship may
have been able to see the original, but for those who haven't are happy just to see it. So don't go
complaining about the negative points of the American Dragonball show, next time you watch the
American version ask yourself why are you even here in front of the TV if the show is so horrible in the
states?
Dragonball GT: The Evil Dragon Saga
As you know, GT has started a new saga: The Evil Dragon Saga. The story behind this new saga
starts when the Z fighters used the dragonballs to revive Kullin, but when Goku summoned Sheng Long
the dragonballs cracked from too much minus energy. The minus energy forms in the dragonballs after
you make a wish. What happens is the plus energy in the dragonballs get used and the minus energy
forms in them to replace the plus energy. So smoke came out of the Dragonballs and formed a blue,
deformed, and ugly Sheng Long. This Sheng Long had no intention of granting wishes and took the
dragonballs away and spread them all over the Earth, just like it would normally do after you make a
wish. After the Evil Sheng Long disappeared the Kai-o-shin who gave Gohan his true power told them
the story of the last time this had happened. The Evil Dragons were so powerful that they destroyed the
entire universe.
So Goku set out to find the dragonballs and defeat the evil dragons. Each dragonball is held by an
evil dragon making seven evil dragons in all, each with there own special abilities of water, lightning,
hurricanes, stone, clouds, volcanoes, and ice. Accompanied by Pan, who forced Goku into taking her
along, Goku has defeated 4 out of 7 evil dragons as far as eps. 53. The first evil dragon they encountered
was the #2 ball dragon named Ryan-Shinlon, who had the power of water and was able to take Pan and
Goku's energy. The minus energy to create this evil dragon was when Tao Pie Pie had killed Upa's father,
Bora, and Gokuu used the Dragon Balls to revive Bora. They eventually defeat Ryan-Shinlon and win the
#2 dragonball. When they received it, the crack on the dragonball sealed and turned to normal, this
happens with every dragonball they win. Next they went to battle the #5 ball dragon, Uu-Shinlon. This
dragon had the power of lightning, but weakness was rain(water and electricity don't mix). Uu-Shinlon
was a short red dragon who has control over a kind of slime which he used to collect energy. They defeat
this dragon with the help of a storm and Goku's Kamehameha. The next evil dragon they encountered
was Ryuu-Shinlon, the #6 dragon. The special ability of this dragon was hurricanes. Ryuu-Shinlon first
appeared as a princess because he was able to spin so fast that his imaged changed. Of course they defeat
him with the help of a pelican who finds its open spot. The next and last dragon that I have read about is
the #7 dragon, Chii-Shinlon. This evil dragon has the ability to control other bodies and earthquakes. As
the last evil dragon, Chii-Shinlon first appeared as another form, a mole. In the battle Pan gets sucked
into Chii-Shinlon's body making her part of him, this causes Goku to hold back on his finishing move and
the evil dragon to get the advantage. Pan tells Goku to just finish him off, but Goku doesn't listen. They
eventually(when have they lost) defeated Chii-Sinlon with the mistake he made of letting Pan stick her
arm out allowing Goku to pull her to safety. Now they have 4 of the dragonballs with 3 more to go. Read
the next issue of Dragonball Chronicles to see what happens next.

About the Authors of Dragonball Chronicles
Background info on Chibi Trunks:
Chibi Trunks is a huge fan of Dragonball. He first got interested in Dragonball when he found a
product featuring the Dragonball Z characters. Noting his new interest, his friend Gogeta introduced him
to the American Dragonball and who these characters were. From then on he has watched some of the
Originals and has grown into a very devoted fan to the best anime in the world, Dragonball.
Besides Dragonball Chibi Trunks enjoys video games and computers. His favorite type of games
are action, adventure, and RPG. His favorite games of all time are Tetris (How can you hate that game?),
Mega Man, Zelda, Marios, and, of course, Dragonball. He is a true devoted Nintendo fan. Unlike
Gogeta, Chibi Trunks loves the N64 and wouldn't trade it for a Playstation. Yes, Playstation has it's good
points (mainly Dragonball Final Bout), but N64 is much better.
Background Info about Gogeta:
Gogeta first knew about Dragonball in 4th grade when his best friend told him about a cool game
about people flying all over the place called Dragonball. Because he liked Street Fighter games, he was
interested. He finally found out the Dragonball was really a very popular anime.
Gogeta is now going to middle school for a final year and is ready to
move to the high school. He is an A+ student, or was until he flunked nearly
flunked 7th grade. But now he is ready to kick some *** like Gogeta in 8th
grade.
Besides Dragonball, Gogeta likes Video Games. Street Fighter, Mega Man, Role-Playing Games
are some of his favorites. Gogeta is an anti-N64 fan. He thinks it SUCKS. If you want to ask him why,
just e-mail him and you can fight all you want but believe me, you will never win cause he will just keep
arguing and arguing. He is a proud PSX owner and a Saturn "friend."
