Other than Trunks and Goten’s cheat-filled final in the Junior Division, the only really dramatic moments of this saga are of characters realizing things. Returning, for the first time since “Dragon Ball,” to Earth’s World Martial Arts Tournament, many epic fights are promised, but few of them actually happen, since the Babidi Saga interrupts. More importantly, it introduces Goten and the present day Trunks, and Vegeta’s reaction to his eight-year old son going Super Saiyan is pretty priceless.Īnother piece of the post-Cell rut where DBZ felt like it had run out of ideas, the World Martial Arts tournament seems like another attempt to retread something that had worked in the past. Satan’s daughter Videl isn’t incredible, but it is the first (and last?) romance to get any real attention in the series, since Vegeta and Bulma’s occurs mainly offscreen.
Though comic crimefighting misadventures fail to recapture the humorous spirit of “Dragon Ball” they seem to be going for, the Great Saiyaman Saga isn’t all bad. Unfortunately, as you can see from looking at him, The Great Saiyman is pretty wack, and marks the beginning of the end for Gohan as a central, active character in the DBZ world. The Great Saiyman Saga has Gohan end his fighting life in order to attend high school, only to take it up again as the crime-fighting masked superhero, The Great Saiyaman. Seven years later, though, everyone seems to have forgotten that particular plot.
After hundreds of episodes of buildup, the Cell Games saw Goku’s half human son finally fulfilling his destiny to become even stronger than his father.
