Emergence is the 7th and last tape in the Majin Buu saga....I just finished watching my advanced copy. Awesome is a good word to describe it. Awesome simply because Gotenks was in it. The long awaited fusion of Goten and Trunks was successful......after 2 goof ups that created a fat one and a frail one. Now while Elder Kai tries to raise Gohan's power level on World Of The Kais as Goku, Kibito, and Supreme kai look on-Gotenks is unleashed upon Earth and he goes straight for Majin Buu....and gets his head handed to him. Gotenks' enormous ego forces him to rush out before he is ready but one he is back at Kami's Palace...Piccolo is determined to get him ready. Meanwhile the strangest freindship of all time begins as Majin Buu gets a new buddy....MR. SATAN?! After this tape comes the Fusion Saga-Evil Buu, Play For Time, and Losing Battle. So how can you miss the last tape in the Buu Sage and the emergence of Gotenks. Any kid whose attacks include Shine Shine Missile, Hyper Plasma Shortcake, Galactica Donut, and the Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack is alright in my book!

This dvd contains 3 episodes:

Episode 235:Out From The Broken Sword: Gohan has finnaly mastered the Z Sword training. But in an attempt to see how powerful it is, it breaks. It seems all hopes for Majin Buu is shattered, but an old kai suddenly pops up and explains that he was freed from his imprisionent from the Z Sword, and can awaken powers. Then when no one beleives the Elder Kai, he wishes to show his abillites.....On Gohan!!!Can Gohan surive 25 hours of the process?

Episode 236:Gotenks Is Born:Now that the fusion dance has been perfected by Goten and Trunks, they are ready to put it to the test. By preforming the fusion dance, they fuse into two odd forms, and it seems that they messed up. Finnaly, Gotenks is born. But when Piccolo suggests trying it as Super Sayin, Gotenks dissgrees and flies off to fight the Majin Buu. Can the new warrior defeat the rubbery Majin Buu?Or will he be crushed?

Episode 237:Unlikely Freindship: While Goten and Trunks de-fuse and start to obey Piccolo`s orders, Hercule [Also known as Mr. Satan], goes off to defeat Majin Buu, with gernades disguised as chocolates!!!Will Majin Buu, fall for the bait?Or does the champion really have what it takes to blow the rubbery Buu to nothing?

This video rules! I'm not going to tell you everything that happens but Hercule becomes friends with Buu, Goten and Trunks finally fuse,Gohan breaks the Z-Swored,and Piccolo shows Trunks how to move his hands.

This a great buy, probably the best video of Dragon Ball Z that Funimation has released so far. It starts with the breaking of the Z Sword and the appearance of Old Kai, who will awaken Gohan's powers in exchange for a kiss from Bulma! This then leads to the meat and potatoes of the video... The Fusion of Goten and Trunks. After messing up a few times, Gotenks is formed, perfectly, for the first time! His voice, Goten and Trunks both speaking at once, sounds very great. Funimation did a great job on the dub. This will leave you wanting more and more!

Piccolo has rarely been as funny as during this whole Gotenks thing(down to calling Gotenks Trunten, backing off when the moms insist on nap-time over training). Warning--per the subtitle in Japanese it is not a kiss the 15-generation back Kaioshin wants from Bulma(Vegeta should get to punch Goku over this. Bulma should slap him for the middle-aged bit--after all she's done for the fool!). I prefer watching the subtitles, but my daughter likes the English dub since it's easier, so we often watch the dub with the Japanese subtitles & there are some interesting differences--like the bit where the boys are talking to Piccolo about their fathers in the sub--didn't make it into the dub. Funimation seems intent on keeping the characters less complicated in English than the original Japanese versions if the subs are any indication. Interesting Gotenks has his own personality(cocky as Vegeta & Trunks, but purely Gotenks).

I have this video. It is really cool. If I where you i would buy it. In this tape you will see Trunks and Goten fuse. The first time they do it they mess it up. Instead of turning into what they are supposed to be they turn into a fat gotenks. Then the second time they do it they mess up again. they turn into a old skinny Gotenks. It looked like Master Roshi. The next time they do it they do it right. it is so cool!!!!! but Gotenks wont listen to Piccolo. Instead of Gotenks listening to Piccolo he goes out and fights Majin Buu. then Gotenks gets beaten up. the next time they do it they do it super saiyan.then they fuse it is so cool!!!!!!

This vhs contains 4 episodes.

Episode 235:Out From The Broken Sword:As Gohan masters his Z Sword training, it seems the wrath of Majin Buu comes to an end! But in a test, to see how powerful the sword has become:IT BREAKS! Hopes shattered, it seems that no one can defeat Buu. But luckily, out from the sword comes the Elder Kai! Telling his story, about how he was trapped in the Z Sword, well, no one beleives him! But now, he`ll prove himself, by unlocking Gohan`s sleeping powers.....In 25 hours!Can Gohan stay awake?

Episode 236:Gotenks Is Born:As Gohan is embarrased by Old Kai, Piccolo is ready to put The Fusion Dance to the test. But turned into a lazy fatso, and an old,skinny dude, it seems that Goten and Trunks have messed up. But finnaly perfected, Gotenks is awakened, with powers, that seems unreachable. But disobeying Piccolo`s orders, the fusion result, goes off to battle Majin Buu! But will he be able too....without going Super Sayin?

What will happen next?

Episode 238:I Kill No More: As 20 more hours of awakening takes place, it seems Gohan is ready to take a nap. On the Lookout, Goten and Trunks preform another fusion...as Super Sayins! Now that Super Sayin Gotenks is bornm, say goodbye Majin Buu!But ready to show Piccolo his power, the fusion result speeds off. Circling the world about 10 times, Gotenks then goes off to fight Buu, but his fusion wears off, narrowly escaping the wrath of Majin Buu. As Buu finds a puppy, Buu heals his broken leg. But when he tries to scare, him, he find finds that the dog likes him. But when a deadly duo appears,and opens fire on the puppy, it seems that Majin Buu has unleashed an angry monster inside of him!

It is my favorite episode of DBZ. When it shows GOTANKS it makes it look even cooler. GOTANKS is a fusin of GOTEN and TRUNKS.Even though it says Majin boo gotanks turns level 3 I think.

If you're looking to purchase this video for children, you should try to find the edited versions. The last episode on this DVD contains a disturbing scene of very graphic cruelty. It isn't the usual slapstick style violence you see in previous DBZ episodes. It deserves a TV-MA rating.
