Dragon Ball - Tournament Set

Description

The Dragon Ball Tournament Boxed set includes episodes 13 - 28. With the Dragon Balls turned to ordinary stones for a year, the gang has split to pursue new adventures. While Bulma, Yamcha, Oolong, and Puar struggle through the desert after their plane crashes, Goku flies to Master Roshi's island to learn Martial Arts! A mysterious blue-haired girl enters a saloon with a bag full of cash. Her name is Launch, and she seems harmless enough. But when she sneezes, she transforms into a blonde femme fatale! Goku rescues the blue-haired girl and brings her back to Roshi's island, knowing nothing of her deadly secret. With Launch arriving to keep Master Roshi company, the old teacher agrees to show Goku and Krillin the secrets of Martial Arts! Goku and Krillin's training continues, and the boys discover all too soon the many dangers of the island. Among them -- a man-eating dinosaur, a swarm of angry wasps, and a machine gun-wielding Launch! It's just another day of Turtle Hermit Training! Goku and Krillin have completed their basic training and are ready to learn Master Roshi's teachings about the secret of Martial Arts. But the old teacher has another lesson in mind - he enters the boys in the prestigious World Martial Arts Tournament! But before the boys can qualify for the tournament, they'll have to make it through the heated Elimination Round… The final eight competitors draw lots for their match-ups in the World Martial Arts Tournament. Krillin gets the first match, against an unusually repulsive oaf named Bacterian! He hasn't taken a bath since he was born, and uses his terrible stench to stun his opponents! Can Krillin endure the smell-attack and advance to the next round? There's not one, but TWO exciting matches as the Martial Arts Tournament flies into full swing! The World Martial Arts Tournament nears its explosive conclusion! The much anticipated final bout begins. Both fighters are incredible, but only one will be named World Champion! And only one will be left standing! The tournament ends today!

A Funny and Action Packed Begining to a Great Show.......2006-07-11

The Tournament Saga of Dragon Ball contains 15 episodes of Dragon Ball on just 2 discs which is a terrific deal. Originally, Dragon Ball was an action show, but with quite a bit of comedy as well which true fans of the show can appreciate. I love the jokes in Dragon Ball almost as much as the fighting. The comedy left at the beginning of the King Piccolo Saga and the show became darker and focused almost entirely on fighting. However, during the Majin Buu Saga of Dragon Ball Z the action and comedy split began to appear again.

Specifically, this saga introduces quite a few new characters including Krillin and Launch. It depicts Goku and Krillin's training under Master Roshi and then moves on to the 21st Annual World Martial Arts Tournament. Goku and Krillin enter the tournamnet but find some tough competition and soon discover a method behind Roshi's madness in the way he has trained the boys. The fights are a split, some hilarious and others action packed. In Dragon Ball, the battle of Goku vs. Jackie Chun ranks in my top 10 fights Goku ever participated in. The tournament ends with a shocking move, but who will be the victor?

Overall this is a saga which mixes action and comedy beautifully and is one of my favorites in Dragon Ball. The 15 episodes on 2 discs is a great deal. I recommend these episodes to any fan of DB or DBZ with some caution to younger viewers in that there are quite a few perverted jokes, but they are in part what makes the show fun to watch.

for Gogeta 1089.......2006-01-17

This DVD is completely uncensored. Cartoon Network cut certain parts out when it was broadcasted on Toonami, but they are all back in (most notably the guns, alcohol, and the tournament violence).
