After being crushed by King Piccolo, Goku narrowly escapes death. With Yajirobe's aid he returns to Korin Tower. Korin tells Goku his only chance of defeating King Piccolo may be to drink Ultra Divine Water. Only problem is... no one who has reached the water ever came back alive. To make matters worse, King Piccolo has regained his youth and quickly takes over the entire planet. Can Goku survive the Ultra Divine Water? Even if he does, will he be strong enough to defeat the newly rejuvenated King Piccolo? This saga of Dragon Ball is by far the most violent and dark, so younger audiences beware, but that just shows how truly evil King Piccolo is. This saga has much fighting and is very exciting. Goku must face his first true challenge as he tries to save the world.

This set starts off where the previous one left off. Piccolo wishes to be young again at the start, so this entire set will be about Goku's encounters with an even stronger King Piccolo then the last one. In these 11 episodes, Goku drinks the Mystic Water and then has a showdown with King Piccolo himself. This doesn't happen until after King Piccolo takes over the world. Overall, there is a lot of very interesting events in this DVD and the demise of King Piccolo is not to be missed.

The DVD's themselves are bilingual, so they have both the Japaneese and English versions. As for the extras, there are none. Also, keep in mind that when King Piccolo is defeated he does something interesting... this will make you really want to see the next set: Piccolo Jr. (And who am I to stop you, that set is also very good.)

A great item for collectors of the Dragon Ball series. This time Goku must finish King Piccolo once and for all. A saga full of action and adventure. With all of the Dragon Ball characters a little bit grown up. A great item to watch, great to have.

King Piccolo has devastated all his opposition, even defeating Goku and killing the Eternal Dragon. Now his youth is restored and his power greater then ever, and in one fell swoop he succeeds in conquering the world. He announces his plans to destroy an entire sector of the planet every year, and sets loose all the criminals to wreak Chaos. Only Tien and Goku remain to attempt to thwart the Demon King. As rival-turned-ally Tien trains to master the only technique proven to work against Piccolo in the past, Goku undertakes a dangerous journey with his new friend Yajerobi to find the one thing that may increase his power enough to defeat the evil Piccolo and avenge his fallen friends. The darkest saga in Dragon Ball history comes to it's epic conclusion here and the final face off is not one you'd want to miss. A must buy for any Dragon Ball fan!

This is where the series becomes pure epicness. roshi is dead, chiatzou is dead and goku is the last hope for the world. it doesn't get much better bigger then that. we finally get to see one of the better characters, korin make a reappearance. Goku learns of the ultra devine water and ventures to obtain it with the comical Yajirobe. the series goes into its darkest tone here. King Piccolo has taken over the world and the world watches as one boy fights to save it. Goku strikes back in a spectacular battle and by the end we get to see one of the greatest moments in dragon ball history. do not hesitate. buy this set!

After being defeated by Piccolo Daimao, Goku heads for Korin's Tower in hopes of getting stronger. There, he learns of a sacred water that is said to release his hidden strength. While Goku embarks on his quest for the water, Piccolo Daimao takes over as King of the world, creating a hell on Earth! Of course, it all ends in a final climatic duel to the death between Goku and Piccolo...or does it?! This DVD set contains the next 11 episodes concluding the King Piccolo saga, and features one of Goku's greatest moments in the entire DB/Z story. Buy it!

Although this selection of episodes are better than most DBZ episodes it still doesn't get anywhere close to the standard of Toriyama's manga. Infact Dragonball is really what got me intrested in anime and manga about four years ago. In total i've read the 42 books 640 times. Many times all books in one go. Enough of that now and back to the DVD. It has some cool fight and some good humuor but the continuation in the storyline gets a bit slow and tedious. Even though i gave it 2 out of 5 i don't think it's that bad. if you're a fan of Dragonball you probably want to buy this and I think you should. Most people that will buy this probably knows about the problems of this anime but the concept of Dragonball creted by my biggest idol will be enough to forget the flaws that has occured in the conversion of the great manga. If you've seen DBZ on cartoon Network and you're thinking of buying DBGT or DB you should definetly leave out DBGT and go for DB. Afterall the first 17 books and 36 pages is the best part of this wonderful saga.
