Forced to ally with Vegeta against their common enemy, Gohan and Kuririn fight desperately against Freeza's elite troops, the seemingly unstoppable Ginyu Force!

And even if they defeat Captain Ginyu, can they prevent Freeza from wishing for immortality on the Dragon Balls - and Vegeta from betraying them and doing the same?

Review

"The runaway hit of the Cartoon Network . . . It's easy to see why Dragon Ball Z is going to be the headlining title of Shonen Jump."
