Summary: Trunks has arrived
Review: Finally you to will believe in the power of the mighty Trunks. The Trunks saga is the one i've been waiting for and finally it's here on DVD.I have seen the uncut saga and its sure to please any DBZ fan. With the arrival of Trunks starts in my opinion the coolest time in DBZ. So Frieza beware, the next level of super saiyan is here. This DVD contains both dubbed and subtitled episodes so the fans of DBZ wont be dissapointed.

Summary: What you've seen in dragon ball z is nothing compared to thi
Review: For all of your DBZ lovers, this is the begginning when the series gets good. If you think frieza was cool which was episode 100. You will be suprised to know that there are 289 episodes of dbz and 78 episodes of Dragon Ball Grand tour:a series when the Z team is all old. There is trunks, Bulma and Vegitas son, goten, Gokus and chi chis son. Who are both super say-jinns with out even training. Gohon is 14 and going to highschool. they fight amazing battles. This is not a review for this video, but just telling you how it start. this actual video is when trunks comes from teh futer to warn goku that he has to train because dr gero creates two very strong androids. To test gokus skill Trunks fights him with a sword. Goku only uses two of his fingers. This is the beginning to where the whole thing gets good.

Summary: Trunks... who is he?
Review: Having just seen the Frieza saga and REALLY wanting to know what happened to Goku (he's my favorite character), I was eagerly awaiting these episodes. While I waited, I saw the Garlic Junior saga... oh boy, what a disappointment. That saga is pretty bad. So are these next episodes a blessing, or just another disappointment? Let's find out.

The story starts off a little slow and silly with the first episode, but it's got some good laughs in it worthy of mentioning. Vegeta's new t-shirt for one thing has to be seen to be believed! ^_^ The first episode ends in a typical DBZ way; we see Frieza and his father approaching Earth. The next episode is a lot different from the first, it's very serious and tense. I remember my stomach churning as the Z Warriors prepared to face Frieza. And then, we are treated to the introduction of a really neat new character: Trunks. Of course, at this point, we have no clue who he is. But I found myself instantly start to like him as he shows off his powers and attacks Frieza... with style!

In the cut version of the third episode, people are left hanging because they want to know if Frieza survived... well, in the uncut version, we pretty much know the answer to that. ;)

I really enjoyed these episodes, and I can't wait for the next volume.

Summary: Finally we get to meet Trunks
Review: I was so excited to see the preview for the Trunks tapes on the Garlic Jr. saga. I couldn't wait and I replayed the preview over and over. In my opinion, this is one of the best DBZ tapes. We see Frieza for the last time, and we get to meet his father, King Cold. We also get to see the awesome power of Vegeta's son, Trunks. His entrance could have been better, but it was great anyhow. Many things are revealed in the next tape about where Trunks came from and also why he came, but that is all I'm saying. To wrap this up, *Mysterious Youth* is a must have for DBZ fans.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's finally here
Review: I've been waiting over a year for this tape to come out in the USA...and it was worth it. First Chichi gives Gohan the "Terror Tutor" to help him learn more so he can go to an ivy league college... Gohan has a dream that Frieza comes back to earth next. He wasn't far off the mark. All of the Z warriors feel an incredible force heading for earth, one which they indentify as Frieza, and the other is his father King Kold. None of the Z warriors can beat Frieza, but they go to meet him and try their best. An unknown boy beats them to the scene, who appears to be another super saiyan. Who can he be, and does he stand a chance against the new cyborg frieza and his father? If you have not seen the Frieza Saga (only eps 79-91) you should see that first.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Freeza gets sliced
Review: If you like Trunks, this DVD makes him look like a god! There's a really good song in the Japanese version for when Trunks turns Super Saiyan in front of Frieza. There isn't much action in the first episode and a half, but the other half makes up for it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Trunks episodes
Review: INTRODUCTION: By now a year has passed since the downfall of Frieza on the planet Namek. Everyone has returned to a peaceful life on earth. Vegeta has just returned from outer space, but was unable to locate Goku, who is still up in space somewhere. The Z Fighters begin to feel strange vibes, and they all know that their worst fears of all have come true - Frieza has survived the battle on Namek. He was severely injured after the battle, but a group of scientists used cybernetic attachments to rebuild his body. Now he can fight at one hundred percent power with no loss of strength! His spaceship lands on earth, but just as he orders his henchmen to hunt down the Z Fighters, a mysterious teenager steps in. When the mysterious youth becomes a Super Saiyan, it becomes clear that maybe not all is lost...

The Trunks episodes are arguably the finest moment in all of Dragonball Z. I strongly suggest you see these episodes subtitled in all their oriignal glory, because the Cartoon Network made several edits to them. The edits to the Trunks episodes include, but are not limited to:
-Master Roshi reading his beloved porno mags (at least three times.)
-A panning-up shot of Vegeta in the shower was shortened.
-A scene of blood on Frieza's hand
-Trunks slicing up Frieza's men
-Frieza sticking his hand through a henchman he considers cowardly
-Trunks killing Frieza and King Cold received slight edits.

Unfortunately, like all FUNimation Dragonball Z DVDs, the extras are severely lacking. We just get trailers and that little World Of Dragonball Z short that is on EVERY DVD. Why no interviews with cast and crew or anything like that?

Despite the DVD's flaws, these are EXCELLENT episodes. I strongly recommend you purchase this DVD if you're a DBZ fan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Approaching Danger
Review: This DVD starts out slow with Gohan getting a tutor but quickly becomes interesting with the appearence of the new and improved Frieza. The Z fighters gather and decide to try and sneak-up on Frieza, King Cold, and their men. All of a sudden a mysterious stranger shows up on the battlefield and challenges Frieza. I won't spoil the rest because it is truely amazing. You have to see the fight for yourself to understand how incredible it is. This DVD is a must have for any DragonBall Z fan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great start to another DBZ saga
Review: This is a great beginning to another saga in Dragonball Z. It begins with Gohan and everyone on Earth thinking that everything is fine, but soon trouble finds them. Frieza and his father, King Cold, land and are set on destroying everything. All of a sudden, Trunks shows up and the battle begins. This is a great tape and shouldn't be missed, but also get the next tape, Prelude to Terror, to see what happens after the cliffhanger at the end of this tape.
