restored on one action-packed DVD! The History of Trunks Goku is
dead, victim of a deadly virus. Last of the Z Warriors to pass,
the Super Saiyan's death has left the Earth far more vulnerable
than ever before. With no one left to protect the planet,
Androids 17 and 18 arrive to terrorize the great cities, plunging
all into darkness where the inhabitants cower in fear. Is there
no hope left in this apocalyptic horror? is this the end? Goku's
son, Gohan, is now a man, and with an extraordinary young
teenager named Trunks by his side, the two determine to face off
against the threat. but as tragedy follows upon tragedy, the
world around Trunks is fast collapsing and there seems no check
to the evil of the Androids. This is the story of the future that
never was. Bardock: her of Goku Before there was Golu, tehre
lived his her Bardock. A low-class Saiyan soldier under the
comand of Frieza, Bardock is attacked by the last of an alien
race they are employed in destroying. Healing on his home planet
of Vegeta, Bardock discovers he has been blessed with the ability
to see into the future. But the blessing soon becomes a curse, as
the Saiyan finds himself haunted by visions: The tragic
extermination of his own race and the destruction of their
beloved planet, all the hands of Frieza. Bardock sets off on a
nightmarish race with e to avert the impending disaster. But
as his strength fails and despair sets in, hope will be found in
one last vision. This is the story of Bardock, the her of
Goku. Bardock the her of Goku (Tatta Hitori no Saishuu Kessen:
"Lonely Final Battle," 1990) and The History of Trunks (Zebbo he
no Hankou!! Nokosareta Chou-Senshi Gohan to Torunkusu: "Resist
Despair!! The Ultimate Surviving Fighters: Gohan and Trunks,"
1993) were the first and second Dragon Ball Z TV specials. The
programs present the back stories of later adventures. Bardock
was one of the Saiyans Frieza used as mercenaries to conquer
other worlds. But Frieza and his lieutenant Doodoria feared the
Saiyans might eventually become strong enough to threaten them.
Doodoria murdered Bardock’s squadron; Frieza destroyed the Saiyan
planet. Vegeta, Nappa and Goku (né Kakarot) were the only
survivors. Before he was killed, Bardock was cursed with the
ability to see the future, including his own brutal death. But
that psychic power also enabled Bardock to see that his infant
son would grow up to destroy the monstrous Frieza. The History of
Trunks is set further in the future: the androids 17 and 18 that
Dr. Gero created are ravaging the Earth. As Goku died of a heart
ailment several years earlier, no one can defeat them, not even
Gohan. Trunks, the son of Vegeta and Bulma, fights 17 and 18, but
loses ignominiously. Only one hero can save the world: Trunks
launches the time machine Bulma invented to take medicine back to
Goku that will save his life and alter the course of history.
Bardock the her of Goku and The History of Trunks will appeal
most strongly to viewers already familiar with the Dragon Ball
saga. (Rated TV PG: violence, nudity) --Charles Solomon.
