Dragon Ball Z ep 254 - Run Away, Satan!! An Angry Boo Emerges


Majin Boo's new puppy is suddenly gunned down by a hidden sniper, and Mr. Satan fears that he will revert to killing despite Satan teaching him it's wrong to do so.

The dickheads responsible, Joffrey and Walt.

Dragon Ball Z ep 253 - I've Stopped Killing!! Majin Boo's Good Boy Declaration

This episode is rough.


Goku, Kaioshin, and Kibit watch and wait while Ol' Dirty Bastard performs his technique on Gohan. The twenty hour process is said to unlock a person's strengths well past their personal limits. But Goku is pretty skeptical of the whole thing.

Dragon Ball Z ep 252 - The Final Weapon is Engaged! Satan Will Save the Earth


"As if he were a little child, Majin Boo seems to enjoy killing those who oppose him or simply run away from him. The majority of them are killed by his blasts, and occasionally, when he becomes hungry, he turns them into candy and eats them. All the while, Earth has not silently looked on, but rather, military forces have been mobilized against him countless times. Unable to do anything against Majin Boo's power, they have been obliterated at every turn, so there is no one left to stand up to him.

"But the people remaining have not entirely lost hope. Through radio broadcasts, the people have learned that there is still a savior who survived. And so, the people have waited for their savior to awaken. It is he who defeated Cell, the strongest warrior in the world, no, the universe. He who can take pride in his undefeated legend, that mightiest man--"

"Mr. Satan!!" -Narrator.

Dragon Ball Z ep 250 - You're Kidding, Right?! The Z-Sword Is Broken


Goten and Trunks have basically mastered the Fusion poses, but Piccolo scolds them on their inability to properly match their breathing, heart rate, and so on together - to properly merge, they must be totally in sync. But being two little boys, they take it out on each other.

Dragon Ball Z ep 246 - Bye-Bye Babidi!! Majin Boo Rebels


Trunks desperately searches for the Dragon Radar at Capsule Corp., while Dr. Brief leisurely helps and Mrs. Brief insists they take a break for snacks. Only Son Goku stands between Majin Boo, Madoshi Babidi, and the certain destruction of Metro West and the CC and Dragon Radar with it, so Trunks has no time to snack. (Sorry, hot grandma.)

Dragon Ball Z ep 240 - Enormous Hope!! A New Finishing Technique for the Little Squirts

Weird Alternative Versions of Dragon Ball Characters (from various media, mostly video games)


Dragon Ball is a big manga. The anime is even bigger. But the amount of video games and other alternate media is even bigger than all of that - probably one of the biggest of any franchise in the world. I'd bet one of my testies that not a single human has played every single Dragon Ball related game. There's just too fucking many. And while most Dragon Ball games rely on rehashing the show over and over (to varying degrees of success), some start spinning their wheels about and come up with some really interesting stuff. (Interesting, not necessarily... good.)

Dragon Ball Z ep 239 - The Struggle of Videl and the Others! Find the Dragon Balls

Today on Dragon Ball, our heroes are going to... look... for the Dragon Balls. Huh. Well, that's a novel idea.


Videl isn't totally convinced these dragon balls are worth their time, and that they should be focused on trying to find Gohan and the others. Evidently they already went to where Madoshi Babidi was, according to Kaioshin, and couldn't find anyone. But how could these balls really bring the Budokai spectators - or anyone - back to life?
