This is the set of DVDs after General Blue. In this series, the evil Mercenary Tao tangles with Goku, and WINS!! But Goku goes through a series of adventures and finds in himself strength.

If you're looking at this DVD, you probably already know the quality of Dragonball. However, the previous two DVDs in the set were not up to standard. This series is much better than the previous General Blue and Red Ribbon sagas. Instead of almost random plots in each episode, there is a definite start, finish and character development. The plot is much better, back to the quality of the first two DVDs.

The only complaints I have is that there are only 10 episodes in this set, not the 12 or 16 on previous Dragonball DVDs. This is better than most of the other drek on TV, and definitely worth buying.

This saga contains ten episodes of the terrific television show Dragon Ball. Goku has defeated General Blue and recovered the Dragon Balls. Now he moves on still searching for his granpa's four star ball. His quest takes him to the land of Korin, a mysterious forest which is said to be watched over by a legendary martial arts master.

Meanwhile, General Red has become tired of all his men losing to one boy. He sends Mercenary Tao after Goku. Tao is by far the most powerful opponent Goku has faced in the show as of yet. After making new friends at the foot of Korin Tower, Goku soon finds himself struggling to survive a battle with Mercenary Tao that he may not be able to win! As all hope seems lost, Goku must search for the legendary Korin himself and hope he can drink the Sacred Water guarded by Korin. Can Goku reach Korin and get the Sacred Water? Can he defeat Mercenary Tao? Is it possible for the entire Red Ribbon Army to fall at the hands of a mere child? Buy this volume and find out!

I recommend this volume to any fan of DB or DBZ, but some scenes are graphic and should not be viewed by younger audiences. (I speak mostly of Mercenary Tao's viciousness and the delight he takes in killing.) I specifically enjoy this saga because it is the first time Goku actually loses to a villain and also introduces Korin, a major character for the rest of the series.

This saga is one of the greatest Dragon Ball sagas. It is the beginning of a new adventure for Goku. Nothing will be the same for him after this Saga. Overall, I really enjoy all the Dragon Ball sagas because they have a good plot and humor. Enjoy!

I recommend this for anyone who wants to have the whole Dragonball collection. Not the best, but a good saga.
