Dragon Ball Z Movies 9 - 13

 

DBZ Movie 9: The Galaxy is in Danger!! The Super Awesome Guy!
Original Release Date: July 10, 1993
Rating: 7 of 7

Story
Having another Tenkaichi Budoukai funded by Mr. Money for his son's birthday, Mr. Satan invites everyone on Earth to a competition on a remote island. The Z Senshi all go, and Goku - who is still dead with Kaio-Sama - wishes he could compete. After the elimination rounds, the winners reach the final where Mr. Satan's students are dressed as aliens (or so it seems) and are to serve as foes for the warriors. However, Bojack and his men, who were at one time imprisoned within a star by the Kaios, have changed things in secret. They take over the tournament and fight the Z Senshi. After all seems lost, Goku's words of encouragement give Gohan the power he needs to stand up to Bojack and his men.
Thoughts
With an original story, great animation, and beautiful music that fits each scene, this movie is a must see for any Dragon Ball fan.

DBZ Movie 10: Dangerous Partners! Super Warriors Never Rest
Original Release Date: March 12, 1994
Rating: 6 of 7

Story
While searching for the dragon balls, Goten, Trunks, and Videl encounter Burori, who crash landed on Earth after supposedly being defeated in DBZ movie 8. The three don't do well against Burori until Gohan arrives to help. Despite the years between the fight on New Vegeta and the present battle, even Gohan's Super Saiyajin 2 form isn't strong enough to compete against Burori. All seems lost until the dragon balls perform a miracle.
Thoughts
Though this movie has significant boring stretches (mostly early on), the humor and fighting make it more than worth seeing.

DBZ Movie 11: Crushing Super Warrior!! I am the Winner
Original Release Date: July 3, 1994
Rating: 4 1/2 of 7

Story
Challenged by Jaga Bada, Mr. Satan goes to Jaga's island along with Android 18 who wants her money for throwing the Budoukai. Trunks and Goten tag along seeking adventure. When at Jaga's place, Bio Warriors are shown to be Mr. Satan's fight. Wanting this whole incident to be over quickly so she can get her money, 18 decides to fight the Bio Warriors instead of Hercule Satan. Goten and Trunks join the fight for the shear fun of it. After this little battle is over, Goten and Trunks discover a cloning vessel that has grown a clone of Brolly. After breaking free, Brolly again tries to fight Trunks and Goten, but only to be engulfed with an acid. Thinking that this killed Brolly, the warriors are proved wrong as Brolly gets up as a hideously deformed monster. After another long fight, they once again think that Brolly is defeated. Unfortunately, Brolly surfaces as a gigantic monster. Now, Goten, Trunks, and Krillin can't defeat Brolly, but Brolly finds his match in the seawater.
Thoughts
Next to DBZ Movie 4, this is the worst of the films. The story is boring and Clone Burori just looks stupid. The fight scenes aren't that bad, but this movie's only saving grace is the humor.

DBZ Movie 12: The Rebirth of Fusion!! Goku and Vegeta
Original Release Date: March 4, 1995
Rating: 6 1/2 of 7

Story
Not paying attention to the evil cleansing machine in Hades, a young demon is possessed by all the evil in the machine when it overloads and blows up, creating a large and powerful demon named Janemba. With the once controlled evil now released, Enma Daimoa (King Yamma) is imprisoned in his castle and powerless to do anything about the new demon. Goku and Paikuhan answer the call for help. In attempting to free Enma, they learn the only way to succeed is by destroying Janemba. Goku flies into hell to face him while Paikuhan continues to attempt to free Enma. After transforming into Super Saiyajin 3, Goku defeats the large yellow demon and thinks he has won. Unfortunately, the demon has also changed into a smaller, red and much more powerful demon too strong for even Super Saiyajin 3 Goku. Vegeta arrives and joins Goku in the battle. But they learn the only way to win this fight is through Fusion.
Thoughts
Due to the computer graphics for some of its animation, this movie is amazing to watch. The story, music, humor, fighting, and, of course, the animation are great. It is another must see.

DBZ Movie 13: Dragon Fist Explosion!! If Goku Can't Do It, No One Can
Original Release Date: July 15, 1995
Rating: 7 of 7

Story
After encountering a strange old man named Hoi who tends an oracle, Gohan and Videl bring the oracle to Capsule Corp. for examination. The Z Warriors discover the oracle was truly not of Earth, then set out to find the dragon balls and summon Shenron to open the oracle. They succeed, and a strange and mysterious man named Tapion emerges from the oracle, playing his ocarina. Tapion is horrifically terrified for being released, since he holds a secret that could destroy an entire galaxy.
Thoughts
With an original story, great music and enhanced animation, this movie is almost perfect. You'll find yourself singing the themes in your head for days after watching, and wanting to see the movie over and over again.
