starting from Trunks...
(Episode 103)
|
It has been a year since the Garlic Jr. saga and the DBZ warriors are now up against a major problem now. The episode starts off with with Gohan studying asking himself where his father was and why he hasn't returned yet, for he has been gone for over a year now. Meanwhile, Master Roshi is looking at his collection while Krillin is training to help Goku with his further battles.
As Gohan trips over his chair, Chi-Chi walks in with Gohan's new tutor named Mr.Shoe. As soon as Chi-Chi leaves, Mr.Shoe is already putting down Gohan and is calling Goku many names. When Mr.Shoe find two mistakes on Gohan's paper, Gohan exclaims,"Mistakes are to learn from" and is literally whipped by Mr.Shoes's whip! Eventually it is nightfall and Gohan is still studying, while Mr.Shoe is making comments about Goku to Gohan. When Gohan wakes up, he has awaken to Icorus(his dragon) but is lead to Goku, who has finally showed up after a year and a half. Chi-Chi wakes up to Gohan and Goku's laughter, she comes out to greet Goku, and exclaims that he won't get any food if he goes through a window sarcastically. When Gohan asks Goku what happened to Frieza, Goku transforms into the one and only Frieza and attempts to punch Gohan screaming out that Goku is a "loser". When Gohan finally wakes up, he is squeezing Mr.Shoes arm and gets out of his chair in an anger after Mr.Shoe calls Goku a fruit.
Gohan gets upset and start to advance on Mr.Shoe to defend Goku's honor. Unfortunately, Chi-Chi walks in and Gohan stops. But after Gohan gets whipped in his head and starts bleeding, and says that Gohan is like his father (always a fighter) Chi-hi throws him out the window and starts chasing him all around the front lawn!
Meanwhile at Bulma's house, Bulma, Puar, Oolong, Yamcha, Krillin, Mrs.Briefs are drinking tea, when Vegeta suddenly crashes into the area w/his spaceship. As he gets out he is forced into taking a shower by Bulma and has to change into some clothes that say Badman on the back of his PINK shirt and his lime pants. After finding out what he has to wear, everyone starts laughing at him, so he threats everyone to stop laughing or he'll blast everyone, so of course, the humor is gone due to Vegeta. All of a sudden Vegeta gasps as he feels a tremendous power nearby.
Back over at Gohans House, Gohan breaks his pencil while writing after feeling the 2 great powers. When Gohan picks up the phone, Krillin know its Frieza and asks Gohan to suit up(saiyan armor received in Ginyu Force saga). Unfortunately, Goku isn't back yet, and with Frieza coming along with another, greater power, what will happen to earth? While Gohan flys toward the landing area of Frieza and his father's space ship, Tien,Chaotzu, King kai, and Piccolo feel the two great powers, but Yamcha can't feel them due to his unexpierience of fighing.
As Frieza is approaching earth on King Colds spaceship(King Cold is his father) they see that Goku is almost home on radar. Frieza's plan is so maniacal, he plans to destroy and kill everyone on earth, so when Goku gets back, all he has ever loved will be in ruins. What will happen to earth, and will Gook make it in time, stay tuned to the next review of Dragonball Z:Trunks Saga!
In my opinon this was an o.k. episode. There were many mistakes though, for instance why couldn't Yamcha sense Frieza and King Cold's power level if he had the power to before? Why wasn't Krillin wearing his Saiyan Armor? But amongst them was the biggest problem, if even Vegeta could sense Frieza and his father approaching Earth, and the radar showed that Goku wasn't too far behind from them, then why didn't Goku use his teleportation technique to go and fight Frieza? Well, above all it was a pretty good way to start off a saga, yet there was too many mistakes, but I would have to give this episode a 7/10 |
(Episode 104)
Frieza and his British (accented) father King Cold are rapidly closing in on Earth. It starts out with Gohan flying towards the area where he can feel Frieza's power the most concentrated. On the way Krillin meets up with him and together they fly towards their dire destination. On the way Krillin recalls how he was killed by Frieza and although it obviously brings back frightening memories, he still manages to keep his will and go on (What a guy!).
Yamcha and Vegeta are the first to reach the spot where Frieza is going to arrive. Tien and Chouzu show up as well. Tien was surprised to see that Vegeta had come back, and didn't like the idea of Vegeta being around(even though he is obviously the best fighter there). Bulma came with Puar so she could at least see Frieza before the world was to be destroyed. And Piccolo appeared to have come out of no where, just standing on a ledge waiting for Frieza's arrival(very mysterious person/namek that Piccolo is).
After Gohan and Krillin soon arrive they all wait with fear for that evil tyrant to approach. And within a matter of seconds they all can see Frieza's ship descending from the sky. Spectating with silence from ground, they watch as the ship passes over them in an eerie "This is the End!" kind of mood. Frieza's ship soon lands.
Upon arrival on Earth Frieza and his father come out of the ship and onto the soil. Frieza appears to be a little paranoid and troubled from his last battle, because he sees and illusion of Super Saiyan Goku standing on a ledge watching him. Frieza then has the flashback which shows us back to when Goku delivered the finishing blast to Frieza right before the planet exploded. After that it shows how he was alive floating in space, literally in pieces, and after being recovered by his father, had his robotic attachments put on (Wish my parents spoiled me with robotic body parts -_-).
The Z warriors are slowly approaching Frieza but without flying because they don't want him to pick them up on the scouters. At this time Frieza gives the order to his men to disperse and find Goku's friends and destroy them. But just as they depart, his men are stopped in their tracks. (They are cut up) The men that departed fall back to the ground in pieces(uncut version)! Out of no where a mysterious boy with lavender hair and the Capsule Corporation logo on his jacket appears. Who is he(Hint:Elephant and car part in plural form -_-)? How strong is he? And where did he come from? Of course those answers are meant to come to those of you who don't know on the next episodes and next reviews!
Well this episode surely had a few strong parts. The part of Frieza's flashback was a good part. The music seemed to fit the space atmosphere and dead planet Namek well. Looking at some floating pieces of the planet with those namek houses and trees made it a bit eerie and sad knowing that that was once the beautiful planet Namek.
The flaws in this episode would have to be that near the end when Frieza sent out his men, why did we just see a few sword slashes and then all the sudden Trunks(heh the obvious dead giveaway) lands down. That would have to be one problem with the editing. And a little minor part that probably confused some people was probably the part where blood came out of Frieza's clenched robotic fist? Geez sticking your own fingers into the palm of your metal hand Frieza? And so the rating for this episode would be 4.0/5.
