Dragonball Season Five
SCORE: 56
As promised I have finally finished the original Dragonball series
with this review of Dragonball Season Five. Be aware there will be
spoilers in this review. The jump from kid Goku to adult Goku is very
rapid indeed. I did not honestly expect that to happen. We learn about
the connection of Kami and Piccolo in Dragonball Season Five. We also
see the Martial Arts Tournament that Goku winds up winning. There are
plenty of transitions within Dragonball Season Five to Dragonball Z.
The issues families will have with Dragonball Season Five are blood,
violence, lack of attire, enticement to lust, perverts, magic, fortune
teller, odd afterlife beliefs, spirits, ghosts, coming back to life, and
more. Goku goes and trains under Kami who is in some odd building way in
the sky. Chichi and Goku get married in the last episode of Dragonball
Season Five. If you know Dragonball Z then you know they have children
together and Chichi is the dutiful wife.
Training is considered very important in Dragonball Season Five.
Characters train in different manners and fashions in Dragonball Season
Five. We do not get to see much of the training Piccolo goes through in
Dragonball Season Five though. Piccolo does learn some pretty impressive
moves. Goku must stop the crowd from being hurt in their Martial Arts
Tournament fight. How Goku wins the tournament is actually pretty
impressive. It looked really bleak there for a bit. Piccolo really
changes drastically in Dragonball Z.
I found it interesting how they brought the Eternal Dragon back to life
in Dragonball Season Five. Since we have the original Dragonball Season
Five we were able to see Mr Popo how he was originally designed. Cancel
Culture snowflakes have gotten that changed in subsequent iterations of
this content. I know a wide array of people and not one has ever told me
they were offended by the original color scheme and design of Mr Popo.
In fact some told me they were happy to see that representation in
anime.
Quite a few loose ends are tied up nicely in Dragonball Season Five.
Goku continues to be extremely clueless about a great many things in
Dragonball Season Five. That of course continues into Dragonball Z. I am
happy to have finally finished the original Dragonball series on DVD.
