Dragon Ball Z The Movie 12

Okay, let's talk about a Dragon Ball Z movie. Specifically, Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn. Or, as I like to call it, "Janemba's Wild Ride."

This is going to be controversial. I feel it in my bones. I'm about to say something that might make some fans clutch their pearls.

The Underrated Gem?

Is it just me, or is this movie secretly... amazing? Hear me out! I know, I know, everyone loves the Broly movies. But Janemba has a certain *je ne sais quoi*.

Think about it. We get a glimpse of the afterlife. We get Goku and Vegeta teaming up (sort of). And we get some seriously weird visuals.

Janemba's Absurdity

Janemba starts as a chubby, childlike demon. He literally builds a barrier around himself. Made of CANDY. Who comes up with this stuff?

Then he transforms! He goes from cute to... well, still kinda cute, but now with a menacing aura and dimension-bending powers. It's wonderfully bonkers.

His powers are ridiculously fun. He teleports, creates illusions, and can punch you through dimensions. Try explaining that to your insurance company.

And his design? He's like a demonic disco ball. I'm not sure if I should fight him or ask him to dance. Either way, it'd be memorable.

Gogeta's Grand Entrance

Of course, the main event is Gogeta. The fusion of Goku and Vegeta. The ultimate Saiyan weapon. He's only around for like, five minutes, but he makes them count.

Let's be real. Gogeta's entrance is pure hype. The music swells, the energy crackles, and BAM! Instant victory. It's the definition of cool.

He obliterates Janemba with a single punch. It's overkill, but satisfying. I kinda wish we saw more of him in other movies or the series.

The Afterlife Antics

Don't forget the side quest! Gohan, Videl, and Piccolo are battling resurrected villains. It's a chaotic brawl of fan-favorite bad guys.

Frieza gets his butt kicked again. Cell makes a cameo. It's a nostalgia trip with some decent action thrown in.

And King Yemma is just stressed the entire time. Can you blame him? Imagine running the afterlife and suddenly having to deal with this mess.

Unpopular Opinion Time

Here it is. My controversial claim. I think Fusion Reborn is more enjoyable than some of the more "serious" DBZ movies. There, I said it!

It's less about deep themes and more about pure, unadulterated fun. The silliness is part of its charm. It doesn't take itself too seriously.

Sometimes, you just want to watch a movie with dimension-bending demons and a fusion dance. Is that so wrong?

Maybe it's the nostalgia talking. Maybe it's the quirky villain. Or maybe, just maybe, Fusion Reborn is a genuinely great Dragon Ball Z movie in disguise.

So, next time you're scrolling through streaming services, give it a watch. You might just find yourself agreeing with my "unpopular" opinion. Or at least, you'll have a good laugh.

Ultimately, Dragon Ball Z is all about powering up and yelling a lot. And Fusion Reborn delivers that in spades. Just add a dash of absurdity.

Who else thinks that the movie should have more Paikuhan? He is very underutilized.
