Product Description
Goku's headed for a showdown with a sinister green fiend!
A new breed of evil - more powerful than anything ever experienced - is taking the world's greatest martial artists down for the count. Goku is quick to join the fight, but he's about to meet his match in the form of King Piccolo. This menacing monster has the power to pulverize the planet, and his murderous rampage will not stop until he controls the power of the seven magic Dragon Balls.
When Krillin is the first hero cut down by the monster's minion, the stage is set for a brutal grudge match between Goku and Piccolo. Earth's greatest champion vows to avenge the loss of his best friend, but first, he must journey to Korin Tower on a quest for the Ultra Divine Water: a magical elixir that could give him the strength to save humanity - or send him straight to the grave!

First of all the semifinals of the tournament are fantastic. In the fight between Tien and Roshi we finally get to see the ancient master of martial arts cut lose and fight seriously, and the impact he has on Tien's resolve adds an uncommon level of depth for this series. Tien's path towards redemption is probably the best of all the villains turned heroes in the Dragon Ball mythos. In the second semifinal battle we get a terrific fight between Krillin and Goku. While the two students of Roshi fought not long after they first met, it wasn't an impressive battle. It was a dust cloud fight, like something literally torn from loony toons. This time they have a great battle with each testing their mettle against the other. Krillin really manages to impress as he uses his newly learned Kamehameha not as a direct attack against Goku but as a distraction, and it works quite well. Unfortunately for poor Krillin, Goku has work out the weakness in his tail and now has no weak points. Eventually, Goku defeats his best friend and moves on to the finals.
The final match between Tien and Goku is actually a mixed lot. While there are some really terrific exchanges, there are also some awkward moments and some rather gimmicky moves. Tien's vollyball fist would be among them. Chiaotzu intervenes in the match by using his power to paralyze Goku under orders from Master Shen. While this seems like a really cheap trick, it actually serves as an important plot device. When Tien learns of his Master's deception, he gives up his quest to kill Goku and avenge Tao. Tien makes that fateful decision and becomes a hero, and the Krane Hermit goes on a one-way flight via Kamehameha, thanks to Master Roshi. The conclusion of the battle still kind of baffles me, as I'm not really sure how hitting a car results in Goku hitting the ground first and losing, but ah well. Tien gets a very well deserved honor as World Champion.
But there's no rest for Goku and his friends. Right after the tournament, Krillin is murdered by an unimaginably powerful monster. When Goku chases the villainous Tambourine down, he gets pounded almost as easily. Master Roshi then tells the history behind this new threat known as the Demon King Piccolo. While Tambourine is out assassinating martial artists, Goku meets a new ally in Yajerobi. Though the two of them don't meet under the best of terms and even have a pretty good little tussle, Yajerobi soon finds himself assaulted by a monster known as Cymbal. The creature is another child of King Piccolo sent to retrieve Dragon Balls like the one Yajerobi has. However the mountain man easily defeats the monster and eats him for dinner. Tambourine is sent to discover the fate of his brother only to also be killed by Goku. Finally King Piccolo shows up himself and has a rather impressive and dominating fight against Goku. The villain wins cleanly and retrieves the Dragon Ball.
Meanwhile Master Roshi, Tien, and Chiaotzu have collected the other Dragon Balls, and are forced to a confrontation with King Piccolo. Roshi sprays Tien with a sleep gas so he can't interfere, but the young fighter remains conscious to witness the events that take place. Roshi tries to seal King Piccolo using the same Evil Containment Wave that his own master used to seal the devil up in the first place. However the master fails, and passes away as an after effect of using the wave. With all seven Dragon Balls on hand, Piccolo gets ready to make his wish. Tien sends a telepathic message to Chiaotzu and tells him to interject his own wish to the dragon to make Piccolo disappear, but the Demon King kills the small fighter before he succeeds. Finally King Piccolo gets his wish to have his youth restored, and his first act is to kill the eternal dragon. With the dragon balls defunct and Roshi dead, King Piccolo assumes all of his enemies are destroyed and proceeds to conquer the world.
However Goku recovers from his battle with Piccolo and with the aid of Master Korin seeks out the Ultra Devine Water. Alongside a reluctant Yajerobi, Goku recovers the sacred liquid and drinks from it, unveiling his dormant powers. Stronger then ever, Goku returns to face King Piccolo, but only after Tien arrives to challenge the evil tyrant. Tien has practiced alone and managed to perfect the Evil Containment Wave. He plans to sacrifice himself to once again seal up King Piccolo, but is held at bay by Piccolo's newest child, Drum. Drum proves more then a match for Tien, but Goku takes the monster out with a single hit. The proceeding battle between Piccolo and Goku would define all the battles to follow.
After a terrific fight, Piccolo gains the upper hand by threatening a defenseless Tien. After disabling both of Goku's legs and one of his arms, Piccolo thinks the battle is his. However with a clear shot at his enemy, Goku uses his one hand remaining to create a powerful Kamehameha that propels him toward Piccolo. In a dramatic climax, Goku plows right through the torso of King Piccolo, and inflicts a mortal wound. However, with his dying breath, King Piccolo produced a final egg. From this egg Piccolo would be reincarnated, and begin life anew. But that's a story for another day.
Piccolo is one of my favorite villains in the entire series. He's the only one to succeed in conquering the world and kills just about everybody who stands in his way. The final confrontation he has with Goku is classic, and really sets the bar for the battles to come. This is the series at it's best, and even Dragon Ball Z would be hard pressed to top it.
The thing I like about the martial arts tournaments in Dragonball, is that they show the entire thing from start to finish and don't show it halfway through because the Z fighters have to fight a battle elsewhere like fighting Majin Buu after the tournament.
The final match between Goku and Tien Shinhan was great! It had everything from a brutal hand to hand combat and a mid air fight.
Also I would have chosen the image of Tien from DBZ Season 1 of the Hero section in the booklet for the front cover. This is probably the only season where Tien actually deserves to be on the front cover because of Tien's disagreement with Master Shen, which leads to him and Chiatozu leaving the Crane school forever, also Master Roshi's words of wisdom to help Tien change his violent ways and become a hero, Tien changes his ways and atones for past deeds and when he took it upon himself to learn and master the Evil Containment Wave and was willing enough to use it against King Piccolo in exchange for his own life. That's why this season deserves Tien Shinhan on the front cover.
But since the cover shot is of King Piccolo, he represents the bad guys who have managed to appear on the front covers like in DBZ with Frieza and Cell.
When Goku and the others go out for dinner and Krillin wants to retrieve Goku's power pole and dragonball, I had a feeling (just like Goku felt) that this is Krillin's last moments. Although I wasn't sadden by the death but I was in shock in the lead up to Goku finding Krillin's body.
During Tambourine's killing spree of the tournament fighters, I was a little disheartened when Tambourine found Bacterian, although he is the most disgusting but he didn't deserve to die the way he did, and that goes the same with the others.
When Tambourine destroys Goku's Flying Nimbus, I remembered one of the villagers in Suno's village said a Flying Nimbus can't be destroyed.
I first thought Kami first appeared in the King Piccolo saga (Season 4), however I was mistaken. I now know he first appears in Dragonball Season 5. Although, Kami and Mr Popo would have definitely been around during Seasons 1, 2, 3 and 4 but never shown.
Out of the 2 guardians that have appeared during the Dragonball series, Kami appears in 5 seasons, ranging from Dragonball Season 5, DBZ Season 1, he misses out in Season 2 (being dead), comes back in Season 3 & 4 and then merges with Piccolo in DBZ Season 5. Kami also plays a constant part in the DBZ movie `Dead Zone'.
While Dende first appears in DBZ Season 6, and continues with Season 7, 8 and 9, he returns in Dragonball GT in Seasons 1 & 2. Dende appears briefly in the DBZ movie `Return Of Cooler'. In total he appears in 6 seasons.
Although, Dende appears in one extra season than Kami, but Kami has been guardian a whole lot longer than Dende, like a few hundred years.
Goku's fight with Tambourine was fast and brutal and the fight with King Piccolo with Goku was interesting.
Master Roshi did a good job of standing up to King Piccolo's attacks and at least he tried to trap Piccolo into the rice cooker using the Evil Containment Wave.
When King Piccolo makes his wish to the eternal dragon I didn't expect for him to kill the eternal dragon. I didn't think killing the dragon was possible and I thought Shenron was capable of defending himself.
When Tien tells Chiaotzu to stop King Piccolo from making his wish, I don't know if I would have done what Chiaotzu did especially when King Piccolo kills Chiaotzu with an energy blast.
King Piccolo storming King's Castle was a great piece of action, with Piccolo taking on tanks and soldiers.
This season also brings back characters like Suno, Eighter, Mr and Mrs Brief, Korin, Bora and Upa and Ox King and Chi Chi from the previous seasons of Dragonball. This also introduces the character of King Furry who later appears in the Cell Games saga in DBZ.
The fight between Tien and Piccolo's new offspring Drum was great but Drum didn't last long compare to Tambourine who lasted 7 episodes whereas Drum and Cymbal only lasted 2 episodes each. Piano also makes a last appearance in the episode `Goku Strikes Back' where Piccolo is thrown by Goku and lands on top of Piano, crushing him.
Disc 5 is the only DVD to contain 2 episodes. They should have had Disc 4 containing 6 episodes and have the last 3 episodes on Disc 5.
Goku's fight with King Piccolo was probably the best in Dragonball and now we will see how King Piccolo's son will carry on his father's legacy.
This season is the reason why the first four seasons of Dragonball have bits and pieces of other sagas on one season and then continue it on the next season. I'm sure the people working on the Dragonball project would have considered to put 2 sagas together on the first 4 seasons but Season 4 would have had the `Tien Shinhan saga' and `King Piccolo saga but it would have had 39 episodes which can't fit on 5 discs, only 35 can.
Watching this saga/season just proves how much content was left out in the movie
`Dragonball: Evolution'.
