5.0 out of 5 stars
Starting my series, May 31, 2002
This review is from: Dragon Ball Z - Trunks - 4 Volume Gift Boxed Set (Uncut) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Okay let me start off by saying my bro got me into this series.I've seen the series off and on on cable and then saw some "uncut" versions.I gotta say the uncut was definately better.One of the tapes is the 'history of Trunks' it is a mini-movie of how life is on Earth during his timeline the only surviving sayian, besides himself ,is Gohan (his master/best friend). Together they try to defeat a pair of androids that are running around destroying things and in this version ,shows how Trunks turns Super-Sayian for the first time.(Gohan dies by the way).Which ultimately led up to him time-traveling to change things.I strongly suggest you watch this first, it gives more "oh so that's why!" to the rest of the tapes.
Mysterious Youth-The next two episodes are leading up to Frieza's arrival on Earth and Trunks introduction to the 'past'.Vegita comes back unable to find Gohan in space, Gohan is burdend with a tutor, Frieza and his dad arrive on earth.The other z fighters go to intercept but Trunks arrives first and finishes both Frieza and his dad before the others can turning Super-Sayian and in the process driving Vegita mad,since he himself has been unable to do so.
Prelude to Terror-This is my favorite, Goku comes back and asks who defeated Freiza and so meets Trunks.Trunks asks Goku to talk in private revealing who he is, and the timeline in which he lives.Goku seems to find Trunks origins more interesting then the prophecy given to him, and his reactions had me laughing right along with him :).Along with the prophecy Trunks give Goku an antidote to a virus he'll catch 2 years from then.
Z Warriors Prepare-Gohan,Goku,and Piccolo go off to train,Vegeta pushes himself to the edge (indirectly stirring Bulma's maternal instincts and planting the seeds for their involvment). Yamcha finally gets it together and also goes off to train.
Goku's ordeal- okay this episode seems to be all comic relief. Goku is forced to learn how to drive and Piccolo is dragged along for the ride!The antics these two go through is just too funny to put into words.I had to watch this several times,it put a big :) on my face.

Trunks Saga, February 4, 2002
These are the tapes to the Trunks Saga
The first is: Mysterious Youth. Where Trunks arrives and fights Freeza.
The next is: Prelude to Terror. Trunks and the other Z Fighters await the arrival of Goku.
The next is: Z Warriors Prepare. Goku and the others prepare to fight the androids. And includes a review of DBZ up to that point.
The final is: The History of Trunks. You can guess that this is the History of Trunks. It explains the past that was never seen in the episodes
I would recommend this box set. The end of Freeza is too cool.
