Dragon Ball Z Chou Saiyajin da Son Goku

Aired: 1991

The seventh theatrical feature in Toei Doga's Dragon Ball film series, based on Akira Toriyama's manga. Released as part of the spring 1991 Toei Anime Fair, the short film pits Goku and his Z-Warriors against the menacing Lord Slug and his band of space pirates, who threaten Earth with destruction. The compact runtime is filled with the franchise's signature spectacle, from city-leveling battles to Goku's awesome Super Saiyan-tier power on the big screen. The ending theme Ya na Koto ni wa Genki-dama!!, performed with passionate energy by Hironobu Kageyama, amplifies the film's hot-blooded climax and remains a fond memory for fans of the early Dragon Ball Z theatrical run.
