Bojack Unnecessary - Dragon Ball Dissection: The Galaxy at the Brink!! The Super Incredible Guy

[@chriscannon8144]

Rather than a movie, I wish this could've been a filler saga for the anime, that way Bojack and his crew could've been a little more fleshed out with some changes here and there. But if that were to happen, we would've gotten extra filler on the Other World Tournament. The bright side to that though is the anime would have plenty of content and be far ahead from the manga.

[@TheAzulmagia]

How's this for a rewrite of the movie plot? Mr. Satan hosts a tournament at some point in the seven year gap between the Cell Arc and the Buu Arc. Mr. Satan claims to have gathered The Galaxy Warriors to this planet to fight in his tournament to prove who is the strongest in the galaxy, having summoned them via a wish on the Dragon Balls. The winner of the tournament will receive a wish on the Dragon Balls, though Mr. Satan (and the audience, presumably) believe it all to be an elaborate hoax set up for the tournament with the Money family providing the actual reward with their vast resources. Later, it is revealed that the Money family actually IS rich enough and has good enough connections to have had someone collect the Dragon Balls and make a wish on the dragon to summon these warriors: Bojack and Co. Bojack and Co., having seen the power of the Dragon Balls firsthand, decide to hide out on Earth, suppressing their power levels for about a year as they bide their time and wait for the chance to win the Balls for themselves and use them for their nefarious space pirate plans.

BlueMageDanny why would they wait a year to search them?

[@cjvaye99]

That's actually a good idea. The only issue would be why Future Trunks is there after he already left. This takes place after cell but many years before Buu. Maybe he came back to tell them of his success after he destroyed future 17, 18 and Cell. But then why is his hair long? When he destroyed them he had the stupid bowl cut. Maybe it takes a year to get fuel for the time machine?

Maybe Bojack could be more theatrical, like a circus ringleader.

And in the end of the arc the universe of trunks is destroy so it makes more sense to stay, but instead they make a stupid explanation so he can left again mirroring the end of cell. "Future trunks in the tournament? Nobody want that guy, get ride of him, better put tien in there".

Yeah. Toriyama could have given the shitty Black Arc ending a point by including Trunks in the ToP instead of someone like Tien (who was useless) or 17 (who was admittedly essential, but just there for blatant fan-service), so he would have been an actual useful character with an actual motivation to partecipate, even having potentially good interaction with Cabba and Frieza.

In Dragon Ball Z: Super Butōden 2, it's revealed that Bojack and his crew were the last members of the Race of Hera.

Unfortunately, that's not the case similar to how the Tullece Crusher Corps have backstory on who they were and how they met Tullece, but none of that matters in the movie and they're all taken out at once by Goku. This was one of my favorite Dragon Ball Z movies, but after rewatching it for my EWW Bojack Unbound video, while I still like it, it's not as good as I remember it. Bojack is the epitome of the stigma surrounding DBZ movie villains as he's a bad guy, he shows up, a fight happens, and he's killed, nothing more.

Even in the next movie, he does show up to fight Broly to save his brother and Videl. Movie 9 highlights a flaw in Dragonball that bleeds into Super: The writers paternalistic need to use Goku to show kids who is the real hero. The thing is that Gohan could've busted out of the Bear Hug on his own out of instinct. As for Bojack, they maybe need a good 30 minutes to introduce themselves.

I'm so glad you enjoyed this movie - it's one of my favourites too. Great video all round :)

[@savagedarksider5934]

Wow, that Bulma broke up really destroyed Yamcha.

[@IriaChannel]

One of my favorite Dragon Ball movies. One of the best.

[@clydetheweeaboarchivemarks5642]

11:52 "Perfunctory" I love it when people like you and my teachers use such big words others don't often say anymore. I like to take notes so I can use them later when writing stories.

[@ThelronFjord]

24:02 I listened to Ginga Giri Giri when I heard that Kikuchi passed away. It really was my favorite Kikuchi piece.

[@TheAzulmagia]

25 minutes for a complex and interesting tournament vs. 34 episodes for a tournament where everyone gets a straight line to get bodied by Goku and Pals. Seems fair.

[@astrostar49]

Thank you!!! Great review. It's surreal to imagine that after watching your reviews of Dragon Ball in it's entirety all these years, you've finally arrived at what for me is the final "gem" of the franchise in my wheelhouse. I think I told you a couple of years back that after movie 9, I didn't bother watching the others. For whatever reason I'm hesitant to pull the trigger. Maybe it's because movie 9 was the last time the OG fighters like Kuririn, Piccolo, Tenshinhan, and Yamucha were at least all together even if it was only to get their asses kicked. Maybe it's because everything after the Cell Saga just takes a huge nose dive to barely viewable in my opinion. Just felt like the party was over for the franchise after this point. Aye, but like you told me at the time I will get around to watching the others. At the very least I want to be up to speed when you review them. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoy the film. I agree that Bojack and his goons are just poorly inserted generic thugs that have zero dimension to them even for the allotted time of the movie. Despite this huge problem, there are just a lot of things about the movie for me that make it a fun watch. The tournament setting with a twist, the animation, the background choices, the music...it keeps me invested time and time again.

[@MadeBy.Archives]

Excellent points on reworking the story! I had always disliked that sudden story shift midway through the movie. Also, a Redlettermedia reference?!! Nice.

[@miketate3445]

I will always thumbs up "Admiral Bone to Pick".

[@DemonicRemption]

12:22- 12:48 Real talk, dogg, when I first saw this film, I wasn't paying too much attention and thought that Bojack and Co. were the Intergalactic Fighters, as opposed to hijackers. And only after seeing this video am I disappointed to be wrong, thanks dogg.

[@RubinNischara]

That Mario Kart 64 and Diddy Kong Racing reference is probably a the best comparison I have ever seen

[@asherzerbib3461]

To add insult to injury, Tien and Yamcha just vanish after they’re knocked out. Literally; they’re nowhere to be seen in the hospital at the very end. Yet for some reason, Chiaotzu IS there. Someone cared enough about him to put Chiaotzu in the last scene. How about that…

[@beauferret5414]

I remember how the deaths of Piccolo, Yamucha, Tenshinhan and Chaozu were ignored by the movies at the time. Do you suppose the reason that Goku's death in the main story was acknowledged by these movies is because it was treated as a permanent factor while the former character deaths were seen as temporary?

[@PedroOver9000]

Honestly I'm just amazed that he managed to get both tickets in the same episode

[@AndrewAce.]

*Bojack:* _a F t E r T e N t H o U s A n D_ _y E a R s I ' m F r E e ! ! !_ This could have been a better Cell games which wasn't even a real tournament. I still like the idea of Bojack crashing the party tho, or being the Galaxy Warriors like you said.

[@WolfXGamerful]

Bojack could've been a former combatant in a past _Tenkaichi Dai Budo-Tai-Kai_ and could be taking revenge on the current contestants for losing. He could've brought his gang along with him and _that_ could've been the reason for their involvement. I really did love that tournament. Bojack is just big buff pirate.

[@EclipseHedgehog]

"I wax." "Oh I'll survive. Then its bacon time."

[@GaryJojo]

Getting to the blue highlights part of the video makes me think of Blue Popo. I don't like to think about Blue Popo.

[@BagOfMagicFood]

I want to see the anime edits crossed with the manga edits to give us Lipless Blue Popo.

[@agerard6297]

Isn’t this the last appearance of the saiyan-cell design of Chichi before her older Buu design (and movie 12 suggests she got that around Goten; either it was a difficult delivery or deep grief over goku or both)?

[@jasonone8726]

No, this movie came out right before episode 194, which was the last time we saw her like that, when Gohan told Chi Chi that Goku was dead and not coming back.

[@Googaliemoogalie]

Vegeta wears armour in bed, yet wears a pink shirt and yellow jeans to fight Freeza

[@harveydarvey4585]

Space pirates sounds cool since there would be a power vacuum in the galaxy left by Frieza so no order. Though of course the series just has to continue to raise stakes by adding God's and now multiple universes. Wonder what will be next lol...

[@CureGinga]

It’s weird how currently the Dragon Ball Super manga is doing exactly just that. A new gang called the Heeters that even somewhat look like Bojack and his crew managed to fill the void that Freiza left. Too bad they share many of the same problems. None of them are particularly interesting (especially the one Goku, Vegeta, and Granolah are fighting right now) except for their leader being one of the smartest characters in the series. And even the most notable thing about the girl in their group is that she’s pretty hot like Zendaya

[@bg-cc6hn]

I always liked how this one felt like it gave the whole gang something to do, even if they could have been more fleshed out and less tropey. It is definitely one of the more fun and rewatchable DB movies for sure

[@mysticstrikeforce5957]

I felt sad for this movie since this was the last rage gohan SSJ2 moment we see him

[@AnAverageGoblin]

my boy Satan rocking Super Saiyan Blue before it was popular

[@Acerthorn]

14:24 Or what about the Malfoy family from Harry Potter? Their surname is literally French for "bad faith." The patriarch is named Lucius ... as in Lucifer ... or Satan. The matriarch is named after a greek mythology character famous for falling in love with his own reflection, and the son is named after a king whose primary legacy is dolling out extreme punishments for the pettiest of crimes. So the Malfoys' first names are literally "Evil," "Evil" and "Full of Oneself," respectively!

[@excalibur2772]

Bad faith is actually more about the fact that they have bad trust in Voldemort which ends up fucking them over

[@brettwallace7687]

Poor Yamcha.

[@TheSoulExplorer]

Wow, never noticed how one of Mister Satan's disciples looked very similar to Ebifurya from World's Strongest. Awesome review as always.

[@Morgil27]

11:38 I guess the secrets of the Saiyan race must've been leaked to the public, since they put it on t-shirts.

[@ALocalClown]

Putting Gohan in his father's gi was such a strange choice. At this point in the franchise he's probably almost as well known for wearing his father's gi as he is for Piccolo's but when this movie came out, putting him in orange felt like a really bold move. Shame nothing was really done with it, no attempt to connect his character with his fathers, despite the film drawing a direct visual comparison, hell there could've even been surface level tenka-ichi callbacks and that would've been enough. Also, no comment on insanely hot sleeveless Trunks!?

[@INFERNO95]

If anything it was disrespectful towards gigantic relationship whit piccolo cause let face it, piccolo was more a father to gohan then goku ever was.

[@ALocalClown]

​@@INFERNO95 That's not true at all. All Piccolo did was train Gohan (abusively, might I add). Their relationship grows into something meaningful but it's not a father/son relationship. Goku is shown to be very loving to his son whenever we see them on screen together, always ready to throw his life on the line for him, and clearly spends time with him (we just don't see a lot of it cause that isn't the point of the manga).

[@fightingmedialounge519]

Whether or not they have a frager son relationship is debatable since Gohan does compare him to his father when talking about people he respects.

[@Athesies]

Keep up the great work soon-to-be world champion!

[@justinmiddleton8818]

The part where Goku appears before Gohan while he's at the mercy of Bojack and co and gives him the "Man up dammit and get your act together, son" speech pretty much feels almost beat for beat like the final struggle against Perfect Cell, only here he appears in the flesh rather than just a shadowy representation from the Next World but it's more or less a rehash of that bit. It's yet another one of those things which really reminds you that this is taking a lot of cues from the Cell arc which it's seemingly following in the timeline (One of the few of the Z films which really works in that aspect) and cramming it all into a single film

[@sumerapaleema610]

I just realized. Both the cheese platter and the ice cream. Congrats, friend. 😁

[@DerekHG]

Always enjoy your take of the series and movies. I had this movie on vhs censored when I was around 5 watched it all the time.

[@Pooh396]

I find it interesting how this is the last movie that piccolo appears in when it comes to the original 13 dbz movies. Edit: outside of Gohan's imagination in movie 10.

[@TylerCharlesFisher]

Which coincides with Gohan becoming a teenager. I guess since Gohan's a big boy now, they felt that he didn't need Piccolo to come and save him anymore (a notion that modern Dragon Ball seems to disagree with.)

[@weirdguy1495]

Let's be clear here, none of the movie villains felt necessary until Beerus showed up because they're always clones of the villains that came directly before them in terms of story beats, such as Turles as Vegeta, Cooler as Frieza, Android 13 as the Androids, Bojack as Cell, and Janemba as Buu.

[@SonicmaniaVideos]

None...besides Garlic Jr., Wheelo, Broly, and Hirudegarn? Being retreads doesn't make them unnecessary, all that matters is that they actually have a reason to be there. His point is the Bojack, out of all the movies, have the least reason to exist in this movie's set up.

[@oneandonlysound3453]

I would've definitely enjoyed getting to know more about these characters. It seemed only Bojack was trapped, so were these his "followers?" Are they new/fresh followers or the same ones he had prior? I think this would've been pretty cool given it was Gohan being helped out by the others too, another SSJ2 attack from rage-hell epic Gohan, and Chi-Chi ACTUALLY APPROVING! Like the anime tossed that towards goten and left gohan to rot after this. Yeah, it has echoes of the end of the cell saga, but it was still very enjoyable in it's own right. In any case it's the last time we truly get to see Gohan being great and it not just being hype for nothing (mystic whose done episodes later and then does nothing ever) and I thank the film makers for that-it's ALMOST LIKE they understood the characters better than the actual creator and now the "extra creator" for super. HMMMM...

[@vazak11]

Good review and neat insights. Honestly I love the Galaxy Soldiers aesthetic and the fact they can match Super Sayians but do agree there is so little to them it hurts XD

[@vazak11]

Also clever idea for what else to do with the villains and gosh yes, that reinforcement scene turning out the way it did hurt my soul.

[@gazeboist4535]

I mean, there’s a huge time skip they had to work with. But I guess they could’ve found a way to screw something up like the first Cooler movie.
