Loading ...Dragonball Special Synopsis!
We’re a couple days late on this, I know, but here is our continued updates on the new DBZ special! It finally aired in Japan and here is the synopsis!
It has been two years since Majin Buu was defeated and Satan has become a hero for defeating him. However, Videl remembers the truth of those events, and seems to be embarrassed about her father. A gigantic hotel is being built in Satan’s honor. Upon completion, Satan decides to throw a party for Goku and the others who fought with him. Meanwhile, Goku, Chi Chi, Gohan, and Goten have been making their living growing radishes. Videl soon arrives and asks Gohan to bring his family to the party. At first Goku doesn’t want to go, but he changes his mind once he hears there will be rare foods there.
Kame-sennin, No. 18, Krillin, etc, take off for the hotel and give Goku’s family a lift. Piccolo descides to not ride along, but rather flies after them on his own. The group from Capsule Corp. arrives at the hotel first, and when Vegeta and Goku see each other, they begin to fight. Goku realizes the party is starting, and heads off to the assembly hall. Apart from Goku’s family, Vegeta’s family, and Kame-sennin’s group, the crowd includes Dende, Mr. Popo, Karin-sama, Yajirobe, Yamcha, Oolong, Gyuumao, Kaio-sama, Bubbles, Gregory, Kibito-shin, and Elder Kaioshin.
Despite the fact that there’s supposed to be no media coverage of the party, members of the press appear and ask Satan questions about Buu’s defeat. While the “Z Senshi” are eating, two Saiya-jin style spaceships land on Earth. Piccolo and Gohan are the first to notice, then No. 18, and eventually everyone stops eating and the atmosphere becomes tense.
A sharp-eyed Saiya-jin and a small alien emerge from the two spaceships. Using his scouter to detect higher battle powers, the Saiya-jin soon arrives at the party. Upon seeing Vegeta, the Saiya-jin calls him “big brother”. The “Z Senshi” are all shocked by this sudden event. The Saiya-jin introduces himself as Table, along with his wife, Grey. Vegeta says that Table had been sent off to a remote planet because he had no talent for battle. Table begs our heroes to defeat Abo and Kado, who have ravished his planet and pursued him to Earth.
Goku says that if they’re strong, he’ll fight them, and Gohan wants to help as well. Goten and Trunks think it sounds interesting, Krillin and Yamcha say they want to try as well, and eventually even Kame-sennin wants to fight. Table measures their battle powers with his scouter, and says that they’ll be of no help since their battle powers are so low. Vegeta scolds Table for relying on his scouter, and as an example, Goku begins to gather ki. The battle power reading on the scouter steadily increases. It soon breaks as Goku goes Super Saiya-jin and then Super Saiya-jin 2, and Table is amazed by Goku’s power. Goku thinks it will be unfair to if everybody fights the weaker guys, and suggests they select a single representative to fight.
Goku teleports Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Piccolo, Yamcha, Krillin, Kame-sennin, Videl, Chi Chi, Bulma, Table, and Grey to Mount Paozu (this whole time, Satan, Fat Buu, Kibito-shin, and Elder Kaioshin have been ignoring Table and just go on drinking). Goku suggests that they each draw a radish, and the person who draws the longest radish will be the representative. Goten draws out a very long radish, and it seems he will be the one to fight. This makes Vegeta jealous, and he tells Trunks to pull out an even bigger radish. Pressured by Vegeta, Trunks pulls out a very thin but incredibly long radish, and becomes the representative.
Meanwhile, two other spaceships land on Earth, containing Abo and Kado. Pursuing Table, they arrive at Satan Hotel, and a panic erupts. Goku and the others soon return, and things clam down. It turns out Abo and Kado are remnants of Freeza’s army, who have taken control of Freeza’s planets now that he is gone. Vegeta also knows of them, and says that they were supposed to rival the Ginyu Special-Squad. Table says that the two have become much stronger, and that not even Freeza could beat them now.
Goku loses his enthusiasm when he hears that they’re “only” at Freeza’s level, and decides that it’s alright for Trunks to fight them. With some difficulty, he gets Vegeta’s permission to let Goten fight as well. At first Abo and Kado underestimate their child opponents, and they get clobbered and knocked into some boulders. They decide to get serious, and they each split into three people.
Trunks and Goten are completely unable to counterattack now that Abo and Kado have become six people. Vegeta advices them to sense their ki and locate the real Abo and Kado, but they can’t. Gohan offers to help, but they turn him down. They settle on having Gohan merely tell them where the real Abo and Kado are. With Gohan’s accurate advice, Goten and Trunks drive Abo and Kado to the wall.
Cornered, Abo and Kado merge to become even stronger, forming merged Aka. Put on the defensive by Aka’s attacks, Goten and Trunks use their secret weapon, Fusion. However, since it’s been so long since they’ve used it, they fail and become fat Gotenks. They eventually succeed on their second try, and Gotenks overwhelms Aka, using Yamcha’s Rouga Fuu-Fuu Ken, Tenshinhan’s Haikyuuken, and to finish him off they use Satan’s “Miracle Special Ultra Super Megaton Punch”, going Super Saiya-jin the moment they punch Aka. Aka crashes into a lake and it looks like the fight is over, but…
Aka rises out of the lake and is enraged. He lets out a giant energy wave, firing it from both hands and his mouth. It hits Gotenks and causes the Satan Hotel to collapse. Aka then starts shooting energy bullets, damaging each part of the hotel one after the other (this technique is called the “Wahaha no Ha/Wahaha Wave”).
In order to protect his friends, Piccolo deflects each energy bullet with a Makankosappo. Krillin uses a Kienzan to save No. 18 and Marron as they’re about to be crushed by rubble. Yamcha protects Bulma from the falling rubble by using the Sokidan, Yajirobe saves some people by slicing rubble in half, and Kame-sennin also protects a beautiful woman from the rubble.
Goku and Vegeta decide to finish off Aka. They argue over which one of them should defeat him, when Goku points and asks “What’s that?!”, causing Vegeta to look away. With Vegeta distracted, Goku takes off towards Aka, while Vegeta objects that that was dirty trick by Goku. Aka fires a Super Wahaha no Ha and Goku counters with a Kamehameha, then nails Aka with a punch with all his heart and soul behind it.
Aka is finally defeated and the battle is over. Videl tells her father that having his hotel smashed was a punishment from God, but brightens his spirits by saying she’ll help rebuild it. Goku also encourages him, saying that it can be rebuilt, and the party starts again amid the hotel rubble. As the party continues, Goku eats Vegeta’s sushi, who eats Goku’s Char Siu in return. Angry, the two finally turn Super Saiya-jin and begin fighting, as everyone else watches in amazement.

Tee-hee this movie is flippin AWESOME!!! =D
September 28th, 2008 at 5:36 am
hahaha I loled so much at this one (as usual Toriyama-san and is crazy ideas) but thingsthat frstrate me the most about these movies is how Goku ALWAYS finishes the fight with no one there to help him in the end (mostly) andWHAT??!?!?! How can GOKU sucker VEGETA out of afight??? THATs not how Vegeta or Goku really are it cudve been the exact opposite!!! and Yamcha protecting Bulma from the rubble? Does Vegeta spare at least one spec of consideration for them at all?? man what a closet couple ;p Well at least Vegeta does more thngs in this one…. I dunno who am I to judge before he movie comes out
But I love the ending I cannot WAAAIITIT to see that one xDDD
September 28th, 2008 at 5:37 am

About this movie/special/ova:
I am actually surprised to know this was already aired, i hope someone subs it soon enough…ehe
September 28th, 2008 at 7:11 am
Kakarott is back.
September 28th, 2008 at 7:16 am
seems really short and probably let down alot of fans who were looking forward to something longer or even a mini series. but still sounds good. *waits for it to be on the internet*
September 28th, 2008 at 8:14 am
Surely funimation will buy it soon and dub it,
However if it was just aired the japs will probably release it on dvd in the next few months.
Its got to be on the internet somewhere,
Sounds great,
I hope the success of it inspires akira to mae more.
September 28th, 2008 at 8:39 am
Cool i wanna c it
September 28th, 2008 at 9:22 am
Wow, so there are even more Saiyans out there in space. Goku and Vegeta are not alone.
And Aka, former henchmen of Frieza, is supposed to be stronger than Frieza? I don’t know about that…
September 28th, 2008 at 9:23 am
oh um does anyone know the name of it? like does it have a specific name?
September 28th, 2008 at 9:24 am
So if Goten and Trunks were to fight Frieza, they’re going to have a tough fight against him.
September 28th, 2008 at 9:41 am
Table hasn’t even seen Frieza’s final form. So he got it wrong when he said Aka was stronger than Frieza. Only Goku and Z-fighters were the only ones that has seen Frieza’s final form. So in reality, Goten and Trunks are going to have even a hard time beating Frieza at his final form.
September 28th, 2008 at 9:59 am
Yet another great disaster of a movie on the horizon is Dragonball Z. A movie that like “Speed Racer” is dramatically over estimating the size of its existing fan base and is destined to be a box office flop.
September 28th, 2008 at 9:59 am
“Bobafet, can u add me at msn messenger, i need to talk you about one thing”
I just added you, my address starts with “nicolas” (just telling you so you’ll know its me).

“Yet another great disaster of a movie on the horizon is Dragonball Z. A movie that like “Speed Racer” is dramatically over estimating the size of its existing fan base and is destined to be a box office flop.”
lame, speed racer rocked, the only reason it got such bad reviews is because movie critics (and moviegoers in general) are idiots. It was pretty much a great movie in every aspect: funny, great plot, awesome characters, amazing action. The art direction was very good too, the movie looked beautiful.
If DB is anything like SR you can bet your ass it’ll be an awesome movie. Sadly awesome movies don’t alwayd perform so great at the box office.
September 28th, 2008 at 10:10 am
Check out why Speed racer was shit on my review stroll down for it http://www.themovieblog.com/?s=speed+racer+review&x=13&y=8
September 28th, 2008 at 10:50 am
Speed Racer was fine. I dont know why it flopped.
After reading the sypnosis I have come to the impression that this special seems too short wow. I thought it was going to be a bit longer and had more stuff in it. Oh well.
September 28th, 2008 at 11:00 am
I’ve already said it many times, but I’ll say it again anyway… Dragonball Z is the next Speed Racer. A property whose current popularity and potential audience is being drastically overestimated with source material that does not lend itself to becoming a decent live action movie. This movie will tank.
September 28th, 2008 at 11:15 am
When is Akira going to actually make a super HUMAN character? Its always androids and aliens. Have a HUMAN that becomes as powerful as like Trunks or Vegeta!
September 28th, 2008 at 11:28 am
how do u think a super human would look???
September 28th, 2008 at 11:29 am
if there was such a thing in the DB world, then yamcha, and tien shoudl have been able to transform into it, they’re already as strong as goku was on namek (before he went super)
September 28th, 2008 at 11:41 am
is this gonna air in america???? someone please reply
September 28th, 2008 at 11:57 am
Heh, figures. None of the movies have very good plotlines. Oh well. I’ll probably see it when it gets subbed.
September 28th, 2008 at 12:01 pm
Is there a torre… you know
outthere? 
or a youtube link… i wanna see it
September 28th, 2008 at 12:01 pm
doesn’t sound that exiting :S
September 28th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
sounds kinda funny ex: ”Goku points and asks “What’s that?!”, causing Vegeta to look away. With Vegeta distracted, Goku takes off towards Aka”
lmao!
September 28th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
dude,they already did, Uub. Just noone really liked that, saiyans much cooler
September 28th, 2008 at 12:40 pm
wasn’t Vegeta pretty young when planet Vegeta was destroyed. When would his little brother have been born. Table just looks to young to have been born.

September 28th, 2008 at 1:04 pm
great first the movie sucks and now this sucks too…
these are really sad days for DB fans….
September 28th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
i think table looks a bit young to have a wife… interesting little tidbit that wasnt elaborated on.
I love the scenerios with Goku and Vegeta… i dont care much for Yamcha saving bulma and all.. but oh well.
I hope it comes out here soon. All the voice actors for DBZ are still quite active with the DBZ world from the video games, and with Chris Sabat as Voice Director, how could they NOT dub this over?!
September 28th, 2008 at 1:44 pm
this shud b enjoayble
September 28th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
ait i give up i can’t find the Special anywhere on the internet… someone wanna help???
September 28th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
I’m also dying to find this online somewhere. If anyone finds anything on this, clips or anything, please post
Thanks to the guy that posted Table’s theme earlier, if it’s legit that’s pretty cool.
any word on a running time? what was the air date?
September 28th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
hey what? I wanna hear Tables theme! I musta missed that!
September 28th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
a guy posted a youtube link a few posts back and its suppose to be table’s theme
September 28th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
Um… why is it that Table looks so much younger than Vegeta? Is he just really really short? And I think his wife is that little yellow alien. lol
September 28th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
Yea this sounds rather like something boring. No threat at all this new character. If Gotenks was to just go Super saiyan with the mega tonne punch doesn’t that mean he could have gone SSJ 3 and just one punch him. Anyways sounds like it would be fun to watch but nothin’ special. I was hoping this would be a prequel to a new series of Dragonball or something
September 28th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
The idea that Vegeta has a little brother….shatters my universe wasn’t vegeta’s father killed when vegeta was a child…and this Table only looks about 15 max….AKRIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
September 28th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
Ya, Vegeta having a little brother doesn’t make any sense at all, especially if his little brother has a wife. Table looks like he’s no older than 15.
Someone needs to post a link to a torrent or something as soon as it comes up. And then someone needs to sub it too. This is a S-Rank mission!!!
September 28th, 2008 at 8:08 pm
When I read they were rivals to the ginyu force I thought we had a good story brewing but then I find out yamcha could prolly beat them in the end.
September 28th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
I’m very disapointed in all of you who don’t understand why he looks so young. You call yourself DB fans?
Sayians look younger than their real age. How old did goku look when he was 14? Like, 8 years old.
September 28th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
“I’ve already said it many times, but I’ll say it again anyway… Dragonball Z is the next Speed Racer.”
Which is why it will be AWESOME just like Speed Racer which was the best summer movie this year.
September 28th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
“Check out why Speed racer was shit on my review stroll down for it”
Thanks for proving my point, most movie critics are idiots, yourself included.
September 28th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
wen is it comming to the us:?:
September 28th, 2008 at 9:39 pm
i’m just going to take this like all the other movies/specials, just a little fun alt. universe thing like the many Tenchi shows and not include it into the real, honest-to-goodness DBZ timeline.
‘cuz the whole vegeta having a brother thing jumped the shark for me.
~alex~
September 28th, 2008 at 9:41 pm
I also can’t take it for honest-to-goodness value either because it seems that neither Bra nor Pan are in it.. and wouldn’t at least Bra been born by now?
correct me if i’m wrong.
~alex~
September 28th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
GT doesnt count!!!!!
September 29th, 2008 at 12:09 am
To bobafett: Ya, Saiyan’s look younger than they are because of their fighter lineage, but Vegeta is what…39 at this point or something? Table should at LEAST look like Gohan or MORE.
And, sorry to say but, Speed Racer was mediocre AT BEST. Shouldn’t have been a child’s movie. Iron Man and Dark Knight were the best summer movies. You can’t argue with numbers.
September 29th, 2008 at 2:42 am
“And, sorry to say but, Speed Racer was mediocre AT BEST. Shouldn’t have been a child’s movie.”
It wasn’t. And you CAN very much argue with numbers (Spider man 3 anyone?). It just goes to prove that most people can’t appreciate true artistic films. SR was at LEAST as good as those 2 other movies. The whole style and humor was amazing.
September 29th, 2008 at 5:54 am
“Ya, Saiyan’s look younger than they are because of their fighter lineage, but Vegeta is what…39 at this point or something? Table should at LEAST look like Gohan or MORE.
”
Gohan is only half sayian
September 29th, 2008 at 9:19 am
This is not true at all. This special will not air untill November during the Jump Super Anime Tour.
I’m not sure why the owner of this site trusts random websites for his content but I would suggest he stops.
September 29th, 2008 at 10:56 am
It would make sense that nobody can find any torrents of the special if it hasn’t aired yet.
And so what if Gohan is only half Saiyan? Goku grew up fast, after he came back from training with Kami he was well over 15 and looked his age too. Table is extremely short and looks too young.
Also, Speed Racer was good, but all the parts with his brother and monkey (while true to the original anime) were stupid and childish. It ruined the movie for me.
Yes, Spider-Man 3 made lots of money and it sucked as well, everyone knows this, so this might be the exception. But there is no way Speed Racer was as good as Iron Man and Dark Knight. Even reviews of Speed Racer fell short.
September 29th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
you bastards!!! LIED TO US!!
September 29th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
were can i see this?!?!?!?
September 29th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
Vegeta is very short. ’nuff said.
But really, so what, he looks short and young. Can you really define age so well on an anime character who has very little in the way of actual detail which might give away their age a bit more? I think Goku looked like he could still be 15 even after he had Gohan, personally, and he was older than that for sure. Besides, my father was carded for cigarettes and R movies right up to 30- meaning people thought he was 18 or under. It’s possible.
Anyway, what I hate about the specials is how they often seem to completely ignore how strong the characters have gotten in the series- guys show up and Goku has trouble with them even though you know he could just, say, hit SSJ3 and crush them in an instant. And when, oh when, is Vegeta FINALLY going to have his day? Damn. I want him to deliver the killing blow just once in a while… not just save Goku’s ass just long enough for Goku to finish the guy off. Lame. I want a Vegeta-saves-the-day special. Just one.
September 29th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
“Also, Speed Racer was good, but all the parts with his brother and monkey (while true to the original anime) were stupid and childish. It ruined the movie for me.”
Actually they were funny and awesome. People whine when DB isnt true to the series and whine when SR is… give me a break.
Spiderman 3 ISNT an exception, lots of not so good movies make a lot of money (kung fu panda), while lots of good movies dont make that much. Like I said, SR was too artsy and imaginative for your average moviegoer and reviewer. overall it’s a great movie with hardly any flaws at all and it sure as hell is as good as this year’s other summer flicks.
October 1st, 2008 at 2:43 am
Hey y’all, this sounds exciting. I’ve been a long time db fan like everyone here. And i’ll be happy to watch this asap regardless of if the plot is dire like most dbz movies or great like the tv specials. Its Db at the end of the day and thats good enough for me!.
October 1st, 2008 at 5:06 am
Great. They turned a fan-fiction into an animated movie. Just wonderful.
October 1st, 2008 at 10:05 am
Actually, all of the OTHER movies really ARE fan fiction, but this one was created by Toriyama, so it is in fact the only one that ISN’T.
October 1st, 2008 at 4:42 pm
is it me or does vegeta’s little bro looks a LOT like mini gohan o.o
& the story seems rather interesting but didn’t they wish for everyone to forget about majin buu o.O after they defeted kidd buu??
October 2nd, 2008 at 12:39 am
Well it’s not odd that he never mentions he has a younger brother, considering sayins kinda just “Mate”. I mean bardok didn’t even meet either of his sons.
And forgive me for the misspellings…you get my point
November 12th, 2008 at 11:14 pm
OMG!!! This COmes out November 24 th In America!
http://www.jumpland.com/animetour/db/index_en.html
I CANT FREAKING WAIT!.. i dont know why people keep asking when it airs but i feel like im the only one who knows this! SO SPREAD! THE WORD AND TELL EM I TOLD YA!!!
November 15th, 2008 at 7:34 am
my God yall are some whiny mother fuckers, I’m getting the sharp impression that nothing pleases a DB fan anymore…I mean shit, even when the original creator makes a special most of you bitch when you haven’t even seen it.
Lame, no wonder 50% of you assholes want to drag this live action ADAPTION before it’s even released.
