5.0 out of 5 stars The best of Dragonball starts here..., July 30, 2003

This review is from: Dragon Ball: King Piccolo Saga, Vol. 1 (DVD)

Yes, this is where the predominantly comedy/adventure "Dragonball" series begins its tranformation into its more action oriented sequel, "Dragonball Z". Also, this is where you will discover in full detail the origin of Piccolo, one of DBZ's most popular characters. The saga begins with the murder of Goku's best friend, Krillin at the end of the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai (AKA World Martial Arts Tournament). In a rage, Goku rushes off to avenge his fallen friend, but is unaware that Krillin's killer happens to be the most powerful underling of the evil Piccolo Daimao, who has been set free after years of imprisonment to turn the Earth into a living Hell once again! This DVD set contains only the first ten episodes of the saga, but it just keeps getting better beyond that. If you're a true DB/Z fan, I highly reccomend you buy this and the rest of the saga.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Dragon Ball saga I've seen, October 16, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Dragon Ball: King Piccolo Saga, Vol. 1 (DVD)

I recently purchased the King Piccolo Saga Part 1 and I have to say it is the best Dragon Ball saga I've seen. I base that statment on only seeing 2 other sagas the Red Ribbon Army Saga, and the Tournament Saga. The King Piccolo starts with Goku finding his friend Krillin dead, Goku searches for the killer. And thats all im gonna tell you, you'll have to buy it to find the rest out.

This review is from: Dragon Ball: King Piccolo Saga, Vol. 1 (DVD)

As the title suggest, this saga introduces one of the most popular characters in series continuity, and one of the best villains of all time, the Demon King Piccolo. The very first episode takes a very dark twist for the series, and things only get worse. A cult of Demons is killing off the martial arts society, one member at a time, including Goku's friends. This is Piccolo at his best, back when even Goku couldn't rival his power. Watch Piccolo's rise to infamy, and the first serious threat to the planet in the series.
