Seeing
the true power of Son Gokuu, Captain Ginyu goes
insane with rage that another being in the
universe is stronger than he other than Furiza. In
order to deal with the situation, Ginyu purposely
injures himself and switches bodies with Gokuu
using his body change technique. Elsewhere, Gohan
and Kuririn have finally found all seven dragon
balls and prepare to make their wish, however they
cannot due to the dragon balls of Namek requiring
a different incantation to summon the
dragon.
Leaving
a injured Gokuu in Ginyu's body, Jeice and Ginyu
(who is now in Gokuu's body) fly off back to
Furiza's ship and the dragon balls. Upon their
arrival, Gohan and Kuririn must fight a Ginyu in
Gokuu's body. However, with a little help from
Vegeta and a small frog, Ginyu and Jeice are
defeated.
Packaging
Another basic screenshot is used of Goku/Ginyu
flying on kinton with Gohan. The same style
"dual-versions" message that was
included on the Assault DVD again appears. The
back cover is the same style as well, screen
captures with episode summaries.
English
Once again the English versions of season
3 were simply horrible in all aspects. Dialogue
changes were sickening, giving the characters the
most redundant and pathetic action phrases I have
ever heard. The voices were also horrible. Chris
Sabat takes over for another character, Jeice, and
tries to re-make the Australian accent the
character was given in season 2. I didn't like the
voicing then, and I especially don't like it now.
Mark Britten's Baata ruins how surprisingly good
the voicing of the character was in season 2 by
making Baata sound like "The Lizard"
from Fox's broadcast of Spider Man a few years
back.
How
could anyone forget the disgusting musical score
provided by Bruce Faulconer. If I had a gun, I
would have killed myself after hearing this music
just to escape the pain. If you actually consider
this music to be good, you need a beating.
Japanese
Perfect as always, but since none of the episodes
were all that entertaining or important, there
isn't much to say about the Japanese version.
Menu
The menu is the same as Assault, screen
capture of Ginyu with only three options set next
to dragon balls appears along with that horribly
incessant musical score. The menu is simply
pathetic.
Final
Thoughts
Nothing too important or entertaining happens in
these episodes, making them not really worth the
money. I would only recommend getting these
episodes if they are some of your favorites or you
want every single one. Later minna!
