When a mysterious stranger arrives at Master Roshi's house, interrupting a get-together by some of Earth's greatest warriors, he claims to be the brother of the most powerful man present, Goku, whose own past is a mystery to him.
In 'Dragon Ball Z: Kai: Part One,' the 13 episode span replaces the first 30 episodes in the original 'Dragon Ball Z' saga, condensing the plot dramatically, for better and worse.
#DRAGON BALL Z KAI SEASON 5 BLU RAY SERIES#
With the attitude of following the Akira Tokiyama manga closer, and tightening up the action, 'Kai' doesn't reinvent the show like the new 'Evangelion' series is doing, but instead tries to present the story the way it was originally intended. If you're anything like me, you may see 'Dragon Ball Z: Kai' as a way to eliminate any excuses and finally give the king of anime series a real shot. With the three series providing some confusion, and the enormous size of the show, I've never found myself truly capable of "getting into" the 'Dragon Ball' program. To undertake a series of this length would be difficult and time consuming, at best, and to have seen the entire series in order numerous times shows serious devotion.and a serious need for a significant other. In my opinion, the only things close to 'Dragon Ball's run are the 10,000-plus episode streaks of a few soap operas, and some of the larger comic series, like Spider-Man and Batman, which constantly move forward in story, though the occasional sidestep or backtrack is inevitable. Sure, 'The Simpsons' has more than 450 episodes now, but it isn't a serial, requiring one to watch each episode in order to truly keep one's thumb on the pulse of the events shown. The 'Dragon Ball Z' saga runs a massive 291 episodes (not even counting the 'Dragon Ball' or 'Dragon Ball GT' series).
