Finally, the time has come. Today, "Dragonball Z - The Movie" starts in cinemas across Germany.
As previously reported, this film is a compilation of Movies 12 and 13 ("Dragon Fist" and "Fusion").
You can find the official website for the film here, and a content description is attached below.
- Part 1: Fusion
DBZ Movie 12: "The Rebirth of Fusion! Goku and Vegita!"
Japan, release date 04.03.1995
The afterlife isn’t what it used to be. To be precise, complete chaos has reigned there ever since the Soul Cleansing Machine exploded with a loud bang. The little boy standing near the machine is transformed by the released evil forces into Janemba—a creature as round as it is malicious. Janemba alters the rules of the afterlife, creates chaos and devastation, and opens the door to the realm of the living—now, the villains of hell are causing trouble in the world of the living as well. While Son-Gohan, Videl, Trunks, and Son-Goten are busy on Earth, fighting old enemies to restore order, Vegeta and Son-Goku are fighting a nearly hopeless battle in the afterlife. And when their chubby opponent Janemba mutates into an almost invincible demon after taking a heavy hit, it seems like the final end for the two heroes has come. Only a fusion of Vegeta and Son-Goku into Gogeta could still bring salvation. But the planned fusion goes wrong. Unless something happens, both worlds will be lost forever.
- Part 2: Dragon Fist:
DBZ Movie 13: "Dragon Fist Explosion!! If Goku Can’t, Who Can?"
Japan, release date 15.07.1995
What a day: Not only do Son-Gohan and Videl have their hands full as a crime-fighting team, maintaining peace and order in Satan City, but now an old and seemingly crazy man is causing all sorts of trouble. The eccentric Hoy rambles about the end of the world and throws himself off a tower in a suicidal act. Of course, Son-Gohan can’t allow this—he catches Hoy. Afterwards, Hoy tells an unbelievable story. A terrible dragon is on its way to destroy everything in its path, and only one warrior is capable of killing it: the legendary Tapion. The problem: Tapion is trapped inside a music box—and it’s not something that can just be opened. However, Hoy deceitfully hides the reason for this: Thousands of years ago, parts of the terrifying dragon Hildegarn were sealed inside the bodies of Tapion and his brother Minocia, and the warrior brothers themselves—trapped in two music boxes—were shot into different galaxies, ensuring the dragon’s parts would never reunite. Unaware, Son-Gohan and Videl gather Son-Goku and the other Z-Fighters to ask the dragon Shenlong, with the help of the seven Dragon Balls, to free Tapion. The music box’s crank begins to turn, Tapion appears, and he is anything but happy about it. After all, with him, a part of the dragon Hildegarn has also been freed—and that means nothing good. And now, Hoy reveals his true face. As one of the dragon’s original creators, the evil sorcerer now wants to tyrannize the galaxy once again with Hildegarn’s help. Minocia has already been eliminated by Hoy, and the dragon leaves a trail of destruction in the city. A nearly hopeless battle begins—against an opponent who makes even the Z-Fighters look outdated. And unless something changes, evil will triumph forever.
