Now that he has transformed into a Super Saiyajin,
Vegeta is having absolutely no problem dodging and
countering all of Android 19's attacks. After
ripping off 19's arms, Vegeta finishes him off
with his new trademark attack, the Big Bang
Attack. Shocked at this new development, Android
20 flees, hoping to make it back to his lab before
the Z Senshi catch up to him. However, despite the
head start 20 had over them, the Z Senshi arrive
at the relative area 20 is at. Not thinking he has
the power to fight against Vegeta, 20 attempts to
drain Piccolo's energy in order to receive a power
up. Before 20 could drain all of Piccolo's energy
Gohan kicks 20 away, which causes the rest of the
fighters to arrive at that location. Angered by
20's attempt, Piccolo declares he will fight 20
himself, not wanting anyone to intervene. 20
thinks this will give him another chance at
getting more of Piccolo's power, but soon learns
that he is no match for the Namekseijin. When
about to finish off Piccolo, Trunks arrives.
Seeing Android 20, Trunks reveals that he is not
the Android he warned everyone about.
Packaging
Another screen capture, this time of Gero's face.
The splash image is present and the text is given
layering. The back cover is the same as always,
screen captures with episode summaries. No extra
included within.
The biggest surprise is the recycling of the
back cover from the Bardock DVD (perhaps). The
rating suggests that there is "brief
nudity" in the episodes, when there is
absolutely no nudity in anyway whatsoever. This is
just negligence.
Menu
The exact same menu as Androids: Invasion is used
for this DVD. Simple screen captures with your
choices and disgusting music. With something so
horrible, this is not the menu to reuse.
English
Just as horrible, just as pathetic, I'm not even
going to get into it this time.
Japanese
Just as great, just as perfect, I'm not getting
into this one either.
Extras
More commercials for other DVDs an VHSs. In fact,
the same exact ones that were on the Invasion DVD.
Come on now FUNimation, is it really that much
more money to do something of quality.
Final Thoughts
Alright, though this review was pretty simple and
I did not go in depth with anything, this DVD does
contain some really great and surprising plot
twists that make it more than worth the money. If
you are a DBZ fan, I recommend picking up a copy.
Later minna!
