Dragon Ball Z: Season Two (Namek and Captain Ginyu Sagas)

• In the version that is shown on YTV in Canada, the story begins mid-way through the Dragon Ball Z series. Raditz, Gokuus brother has traveled to Earth to find out why Gokuu has not yet destroyed the planet as he was supposed to do. But while as a baby, Gokuu was dropped (down a huge cliff) and forgot his real mission. Kakarot, Gokuus real name battles his brother Raditzs along with former enemy Pi

“You won’t believe how powerful it is now!” — NewType

Having suffered heavy losses in the battle with the Saiyans, and with Goku still recovering from his injuries, the remaining Z-Fighters must embark on a perilous journey to Planet Namek in search of the Namekian Dragon Balls. Unbeknownst to them, however, a powerful new enemy has set his sights on the same prize—the ruthless tyrant Frieza!

Beset on all sides by danger, Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma must fight for their lives as they struggle to keep the Dragon Balls from falling into evil hands. Meanwhile, Goku races against time to join his friends in their quest, but waiting for him on Planet Namek is an army of the most powerful villains the universe has ever known, led by Frieza’s most elite fighting unit—the unstoppable Ginyu Force!

Season Two contains:

Revised English Dialogue with Original Japanese MusicThe second season of the wildly popular Dragon Ball Z comprises the “Namek” and “Captain Ginyu” sagas. Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma travel to the planet Namek to find an even more powerful set of Dragon Balls that can restore the lives of Tenshinhan, Yamucha, Chaozu and Piccolo, who were killed by Vegeta during the first season. (Their souls continue to train with King Kai in the Other World.) All is not well on Namek: the arch-villain Frieza, who looks and sounds a bit like Truman Capote, also desires the Dragon Balls. If he uses them to obtain eternal life, he’ll rule the universe forever. With a cadre of lieutenants that includes Vegeta, he slaughters the Namekians to gain the supernatural orbs. After his injuries have been healed by a magic senzu bean, Goku heads to Namek. En route, he trains at 100 gravities, raising his powers enormously. Vegeta believes Goku may be the legendary Super Saiyan that appears once a millennium–except he lacks the requisite love of battle. This version of Goku is less aggressive, and he uncharacteristically uses his brain (never his greatest asset) to defeat Ginyu, Frieza’s second-in-command. Unlike Season 1–Vegeta Saga, Season 2ends on a cliff-hanger. Skeptics may find Goku’s adventures needlessly protracted, over the top, and even silly. But for millions of boys, they provide the special blend of comradeship, martial arts training, and take-no-prisoners battles they love. The newly remastered edition includes the original Japanese dialogue for the first time. (Rated TV PG. suitable for ages 8 and older: violence, minor risqué humor, brief nudity, tobacco and alcohol use) –Charles Solomon

Kobato isn’t going to appeal to everyone – chock full of sugary sweetness, it isn’t where you’d direct a reader for big action sequences and intellectual puzzles. But if fluff and fun is your genre of choice or dabble, Kobato is a delightfully charismatic read that’s full of magic and mirth.
