It seems over 50 people have found my DBZ reviews helpful...so here goes another one. This tape is one of the best in the DBZ library. First of all it's actually faithfully translated and action packed. For those with detective like minds you can gather from the title of "Dark Prince Returns" that Vegeta isn't playin nice any longer. Babidi and Dabura have sensed the evil inside him and will create Majin Vegeta-and Majin Vegeta wants only one thing-to kick Goku right square in his saiyan rump! Vegeta is off his rocker with hate and anger and Goku doesn't want to fight him but he won't back down. Tons of people felt ripped off after Vegeta and Goku drew numbers to fight in the tournament and then didn't face each other. Well, guess what folks...wait no longer...the rematch of the century begins here-no jokes, no lies. Granted it doesn't end here...hell it doesn't end for awhile. But if you miss the start...you just won't be with it. Oh and did I mention that while they are messing around, Babidi is using them to finally get the power to ressurect Majin Buu and send the world into chaos and destruction far worse than DBZ Movie 4 and all of the Ginyu Force's poses combined??? You just gotta see it...k? We Gotta Power!

This DVD is awesome! The first episode 'Pay to Win'(211) has Number 18 at the World Martial Arts Tournament, throwing the fight to the egotistical Mr. Satan for 10 Million dollars. And Babidi has sent the Evil Dabura to fight against an expectant Gohan.

Next Episode 'Heart of a Villian' (212) has the Evil Dabura and Gohan going at it like fire. Explosive action between these two super warriors. Goku and Vegeta (my favorite character) get restless and Vegeta wants to end the ongoing fight quickly. Dabura gets wind of Vegeta's highhandedness and decides to postpone the fight an Evil new plan hatching in his mind.

Episode (213)'The Dark Prince Returns'. Dabura's evil plan is revealed. Babidi plans on overtaking the Former Villian Vegeta's mind and body. Will his plans work? Can the former 'Dark Prince' resort to what he once was???

On a personal note, I love Dragon Ball Z, so I was so excited when Funimation began turning out these great episodes in its original format. Japanese dialogue and completely uncut. My personal belief is that true DBZ fan loves it in its original entirety.

This dvd contains 3 episodes:

Episode 211:Pay To Win:As Hercule fights Android 18 in the World Martial Arts tournement, Goku,Vegeta,Gohan and the Supreme Kai advance to Stage 3 of the wicked Babdi`s space ship.As Gohan awaits who will face them next, Babdi selects his warrior: Dabaura!

Episode 212:Heart Of A Villian:The clash between Super Sayin Gohan and Dabaura continues, with a few dirty tricks. But Dabaura claims that they have just found a new re-cruit...the strongest they can find!!!!

Episode 213:The Dark Prince Returns:As Dabaura retreats to tell Babdi about his discovery, the Supreme Kai wonders if Babdi will take-over one of their minds.And he sees the one:Vegeta!!!Will Vegeta be claimed and become Babdi`s serevent?Will the Sayin Prince turn on them?

although eighteen has stopped being evil. she never stops being
devious. it was nice see her knee hercule in the gut. the fight between Gohan and Dabura is somewhat boring. And once again the villan makes a mistake by telling them what he is doing. despite my complaning, this is a good video and you should by it.

This dvd is a memorable DVD in many ways. The excellent supersonic fight between Gohan and Dabura showed us exactly how Gohan has been lazy over the past seven years. The Japanese version is a excellent version. 20 years and growing strong, Dragon Ball Z is still a series which will be remembered for ages to come. Avoid the english version they hire very unprofessional amateurs from the Ringling Brother's Circus. The top reason why the english version is so lackluster is that they have pathetic voices and there's constant annoying electric guitar music in the background every second. The Japanese version has very compelling music and the voices are funny and they are better than most of the english voices. Caution: This movie is recommend for ages 11 or older for some very mild violence and constant mild language.

Gohan fights Dabura and the world tournament comes to an end. This DVD starts getting really good towards the end when Vegeta's mind is taken over and a great scene it is. Great menu and music.

The Tenkaichi Tournament is at an end, but for Goku, Gohan and Vegita, they're battle is just begining.

Content: A-

Music: B+ (sub) B (dub)
English Version: B
Japanese Version: A-
Fight Scenes: B+

Things take a dramatic turn on this disc. As the Tenkaichi Tournment is at it's final round, 18 offers Mister Satan a helpful proposition. Meanwhile, Dabura is ready to fight. Gohan goes up against Dabura in one big brawl. Even when Goku and Vegita can sense that Gohan isn't working up to his potential, he is doing a rather well job. Just when it looks like Babidi's plans are spoiled, Babidi recalls Dabura and recruit a new warrior. Vegita. And hes mad this time.

Overall, these episodes move both slow and fast at the same time. The fight scenes were okay, but the only real fight was between Gohan and Dabura which wasn't that big of a fight. But still, it's a good disc to add to your collection. Worth watching.

Hey, if you are curious and want to know if these episodes are worth buying... they most definatly are! This is another great add on to your collection. You can believe me they are not any different than the japanese versions, except the language of course. Excitement to the very end as always!!!

The second to last DBZ DVD is excellent in terms of music and action.
Japanese gets an A and the english gets a C. The Japanese might have some of very funny voices but in terms of compelling music Japanese wins by far! The english has disgusting rock n' roll music. The voices of the english are horrible. They are hired amateurs who were previously with the Ringling Brothers Circus.
Japanese all they way!
