This review is from: Dragon Ball Z - Frieza - Death of a Prince (Uncut) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Vegeta, the most interesting character in Dragon Ball Z, as you may have guessed, dies in this increadible tape. Vegeta was always my favorite character and he still is. Before the video, Vegeta is seen as a careless monster, killing anyone who opposses him. Vegeta realizes he is going to lose, and does not fight back as Frieza ruthlessly beats him. Vegeta is eventually killed by Frieza, but with his dying breath, Vegeta confesses his past. The most emotional scene I have seen in a long time, even in american film, was when Vegeta is crying while he tells Gokou about how Frieza has abused and humiliated him. Tears came to my eyes as the Saiyne prince used his last strength to confess his actions. THis is a truely magnificent video and a must own. THe most beatiful and meaningful episode of Dragon Ball Z to date is in this video. This video shows how death scenes are to be done. If you hate Vegeta or love Vegeta, you need to see this video. One of the last things Vegeta says is "He made me what I am today!" as he is weeping and cluching the sand of Namek's soil. This tape, was authenticly, a masterpiece.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vegeta's last stand......., November 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dragon Ball Z - Frieza - Death of a Prince (Uncut) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This ,in my opinion, is one of the saddest and greatest videos of Dragon Ball Z! I never really like Vegeta, but after hearing about his relationship with Bulma, I started to like him a lot. Vegeta's death was as sad as Piccolo killing himself also saving Gohan's life. I was so shocked when I heard about Vegeta's past life and when he died, I was in tears! It was as sad as Piccolo's death! Someone said that death isn't romantic, and i agree with that person.
