Dragon Ball Z: Fukkatsu no Fusion!! Gokuu to Vegeta

This is by far the greatest of all the DBZ Movies. It has the best animation, full of color and life. It has a really awesome villian who is NOT named Janemba by the way. That happens to be a curse word he says, not his name. ANYWAY. This villian is a demon with an awesome sword that can slice through anything. Goku and Vegeta fuse into GOGETA and it all takes place in the other world. It was the first Z movie to use CG (Computer Generated) to assist in the animating process. Which makes this movie, when viewed in a good high quality video format (NOT crappy fansubs), a beauty. So much detail in everything.

It's also got a ton of comedy in it as well. Like Hitler trying to take the world over again while Goten and Trunks try to stop him with ease. Vegeta and Goku also fail to fuse correctly the first time they try and end up as a fat failed fusion who can't do anything but RUN!! Oh, and fart! lol. It's a crazy movie and one of the best and longest. Great Stuff! You GOTTA Watch it if your a true DBZ fan.

"Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn" (Or whatever you want to call it) is the 12th DBZ movie, (Depending on whether you count the specials or Video Games). It follows the story of the creation of a new more powerful monster, made up of all the negative souls of the afterlife. With that barrier down all the dead rise up and cause havoc. And Goku and Vegeta must work together to beat this new monster, Janenba.

This movie marked a new high point of quality for the DBZ movies. It is my favorite of all the animation styles. Some people may prefer "Super Broly", "Battle of Gods" or "Super- Superhero", but for me, this is the best these movies have ever looked. The fight scene between Janenba, Goku and Vegeta is full of great moments.

The B-Plot that they cut to also has some good moments. Including Goten and Trunks taking down a particular evil villain who got released from Hell.

On the downside, Janeba doesn't have much of a personality, he is just the big bad guy the heroes have to fight. Janenba follows too many of the same plot points that Majin Buu follows in the series.

The way the fight ends is also pretty underwhelming, it just ends too quickly. And perhaps they spend too much time on the fighting of evil henchman from Hell, that could have been spent on the more plot relevant stuff.

Nerd rant stuff: Shenron is completely wasted in this story and where was Cell?

If only they could fuse the best elements of this movie, with the best elements of another DBZ movie. Other than those gripes, this is an all-around good time. I highly recommend it to any DBZ fan.

This is perhaps the greatest of the Dragon Ball Z movies. This one being the 12th one, Akira Toriyama had a lot of previous skill. Perhaps the 13th movie, Dragon Fist Explosion, is a little bit better than this, but they are both great. Perhaps the best part is when Janemba is fat and nice and junk, but then gets interesting. Be sure to see this movie, you can get it at a Japanese videostore or buy it off of eBay... Hope this helps!!!

This was a fun one. For a film that seemingly has the whole universe in chaos, the focus and direction are quite crisp. I really like how the Z fighters are fighting simultaneously in different realms without even knowing it. Janemba starting out as childish threat is a great fake-out and also a lot of fun. His dimensional powers make for some awesome and challenging fights for Goku. Vegeta's arrival is abrupt but welcomed as he never fails to give me chills. "I can't run Kakarot. If I did, then life too would be a h**. If I run, life will be a h***. If I die, it will be a h***. So I only have one choice. I'll do it (fusion)" Goku and Vegeta's conversation inside the spikes is some of their most heartfelt writing to date. Janemba finally finds them but my boy Pikkon intervenes (who somehow discovered Janemba's weakness is bullying? 😂) And finally we get to see some fusion but my is it glorious. This goes so hard I ran it back 5 times!

"I am not Goku or Vegeta! I am Gogeta! It's over, Janemba! I've come for you! Every force you create has an echo! Your own bad energy will be your undoing!" 🤘 🤘 The score, animation, and voice acting are perfect. Also I love Goten and Trunks cosmically just being like "Hey our dads fused. Shall we?"

This one features more fighting and comedy than most of the movies to this point. This one features a mistake that leads to the birth of a creature named Janemba. It promptly takes over otherworld and the dead come back to life on earth. Gohan, Videl, Trunks, and Goten go to stop the more rowdy ones while Goku and this green guy named Pikan try and solve the problem from their side. The fighting is top notch as you see Goku turn SSJ 3 for the first time in a movie...at first Janemba seems rather playful and harmless (kind of like Buu), but after he is seemingly beaten he turns into a very destructive creature. Vegeta comes to help and they must perform fusion to beat this new threat. Meanwhile, Trunks and Goten battle Hitler and his army (don't ask). My main complaint is the battle between the fused Vegeta and Goku and the villain does not last very long at all. Otherwise though this one is very entertaining and it has a very funny scene where the fusion does not work very well.
