Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn

An explosion has occurred in King Yemma’s domain and now all the spirits from heaven and hell are walking among the living. Grand Kai sends Goku and Pikkon to the area to find out what is happening, what they find is a creature named Jamemba a seemingly innocent creature but whom is capable of devastating things. Goku must turn Super Saiyan 3 to defeat such a foe, or so he thought. Suddenly, Vegeta appears to take over the fight. Both Saiyans are overpowered by this new foe. Vegeta must swallow his pride and work with Goku or else everyone he cares about will be lost.

“Fusion Reborn” is the 12^th Dragon Ball Z film made, and the film takes place after the Majin Buu saga. This DBZ film is a lot like the others: there is no enticing music and no real original plot.  However, though the plot is not the most original it does have its creative points. Like Jamemba for instance a seemingly gentle enemy until it transforms into the sleek and slender Jamemba who’s near indestructible. Another interesting twist is the fusion of Vegeta and Goku, yes they fused in the show, but that was with the earrings that were given to them from the elder Kai. This fusion, not being permanent, gave Gogeta only 30 minutes to defeat this new enemy. Jamemba had a few interesting powers that we have never seen nor even thought possible, like being able to portal attacks and disassemble himself and move into a whole new area. The fight scenes were not as great as some of the other DBZ films, but they would please many DBZ fans. The fights were well balanced and not to one sided to where victory seemed to go to the evil character until the very end when out of the blue something amazing happens and the good guy wins. With that said, “Fusion Reborn” was a good, but not great Dragon Ball Z film. Sadly, again we're not given a soundtrack to draw us into the fights; and the plot was unoriginal for the most part, except for a few key details. All in all, “Fusion Reborn” being the 12^th film does well compared to the others and is a buy for any serious DBZ fan and for the casual fan of anime movies, a must see.

Good:

-New abilities by our bad guy

-Fusion between Vegeta and Goku
