In his quest to eliminate the remaining Z-Fighters, Buu has cut a path of destruction across the face of the Earth, leaving a trail of devastation so utterly complete that it may even be beyond the power of the Dragon Balls to repair.

The final season of Dragon Ball Z picks up where season 8 left off, with Trunks, Gohan, Goten, Vegeta, and Goku fighting to save the universe from the monster Majin Buu. The protracted battle lasts 33 episodes (#254 to #286). Buu has the color and texture of bubble gum: The Saiyans punch him out, blast off limbs, and blow him into smithereens, only to see him return to his original form. Buu also mutates constantly. He fights himself--his "good" side vs. the purely evil one; he grows stronger when he absorbs Goten, Trunks, Gohan, and Piccolo, but somehow gets even stronger when he "de-absorbs" them. The resolution, involving the combined efforts of the Z-fighters, the Kais, and the Namekian Dragon Balls, leaves the filmmakers with nothing to fill the remaining episodes, so they jump the story ahead 10 years. Trunks and Goten are teenagers, Gohan and Videl have a daughter, Pan. Although he's a grandfather, Goku remains as irrepressible and irresponsible as ever. When Mr. Satan organizes another martial arts tournament, Goku enters to take on a mysterious young fighter, then cheerfully abandons his family to train the new champion. It's a weak ending for one of the most popular series in anime history.

Haha, like I said in the DBZ Season 8 review, I do not know which is better!!
SPOILER!!
In this season, it is the first time you see an Old Buu!!
First time you see Majin Buu (fat buu) get turned to a cookie!!
First time you see a Super Buu!!
First time you see a Kid Buu!!
First time you see Goku & Vegeta do fusion!!
First time Goku & Vegeta get eaten!
First time the earth is destroyed!!
First time you see Gohan kicking Buu's but!
First time Super Buu eats Piccolo, Gotenks, Majin Buu, Goku & Vegeta!!
First time Vegeta admits Goku is better!!!
First time Hercule is actually useful (I dont like the chanting the people do!!)
First time you see Goku with a new uniform!
First time you see Goten, Trunks, Bulma, Kurrlin, Videl, Gohan, Chi Chi, and the rest of them "look diffrent" because a few years pass.
First time you see Pan!
First time you see a good kid buu!!!
First time Goku one-on-one trains someone!!
-The thing I love the MOST about DB/Z/GT is that it is like a Christian show!!
Goku is the one who always leads everyone the correct way, He is the savior of the world! (Symbolic to God leading us the right way & being our Savior!)
Goku trains & helps his friends to become good fighters (Symbolic to God "training" us in His Word)
Goku trusts in his friends knowing they will do the right thing. (Symbolic to God trusting that His true followers will obey Him & go His way)
Goku always shows love & mercy even to his enemies & evil people. (Symbolic to God showing all us people, whom have broken His Perfect Law -The Ten Commandments- and yet He still gives us Mercy to flee from sin & follow Him)
Goku believes anyone can change their life from bad, to good. (Symbolic to fleeing from our sins & following the Will of God)
Goku was like a father, always protecting people from evil (Symbolic to how God protects us from evil & when the storms comes, He's still with us)
Everytime it seems hopeless & like evil will prevail & there is no way out, Goku is always there to help! (Symbolic to no matter how strong the temptation or urge is, God always provides a way out for us because He is with us)
When the Saiyans or other fighters feel like there is no hope, they go into a new level of strength (Symbolic to when you are weakest you are strongest)
Like with us when we feel we can't resist the temptation or do the Will of God, we still press on and reach a new level or strength.....haha, like a Spiritual Super Saiyan, being much stronger into & with God then we were before.
When the fighters are fighting & they feel there is no hope, someone else usually comes to the aid (Symbolic to God will never leave us & He always provides help)
DBZ is not only a great show but I look at it through a Christian sense, look at it as a Christian sense, it's symbolic, it'll make it 10x better! I know it did for me!
Dragonball Z Season 9 (Fusion & Kid Buu Sagas) December 29, 2009
Mr. Laurence A. Mockler (Lucknow, NSW AUSTRALIA)
When I started watching the first couple of episodes I thought "Wow! This is a great season to have". They differently went above and beyond with this season. Season 9 is a perfect 50/50 balance of humour and action.
There was an intense moment where the mad man shot Mr. Satan and where Majin Buu was expelling all of the evil inside of him. The fight between the good and evil Majin Buu was great and the good Buu got a taste of his own medicine by turning himself into a piece of chocolate, thanks to the efforts of the evil Buu.
Piccolo also did a great job by being the leader, in the absence of Goku, Gohan & Vegeta.
One thing that is difference about this season is that all of Goku's friends and family die at the hands of the evil Majin Buu. Like Ox King, Chi Chi, Mr Popo, Master Roshi etc who have played minor parts throughout the Dragonball and Dragonball Z but have appeared constantly.
This is also the first time that a DBZ villain has managed to kill the entire Earth's population and blows up planet Earth.
The fight between Gotenks and Super Buu was funny and action packed at the same time. I liked the different arsenal of attacks that Gotenks used on Buu. They had so many different ones with interesting names as well.
I suppose the reason why Piccolo was in shock at the Lookout being destroyed is because Kami is apart of Piccolo, and Kami use to be the guardian so he also didn't like when the Lookout is destroyed, especially when Garlic Jnr first appeared to Kami in Season 4.
It is great to see that the Old Kai gave up his life so Goku could return to Earth. For a while I thought Goku was happy being dead and never wanting to be wished back to life so he can see his family and friends again.
When Dende was healing Gohan, and then Super Buu wanted to kill Dende after seeing his ability to heal, I thought back to Season 3 (Freiza Saga) and the reason why Frieza killed Dende is because he saw Dende heal Piccolo and so Dende could have died a second time for the same reason he did the first (Super villain sees Dende heal a Z fighter and so Super villain must kill Dende).
Goku should have imagined what he would look like if he fused with Mr Satan's dog (just for fun). It is great to see Videl, Chi Chi and Bulma have caught up with Dabura in heaven and that Dabura has changed completely from the King of the Demons to a happy, loyal and loving spirit.
My favourite Vegito episodes are `Vegito...Downsized' and `Incredible Fighting Candy'. The reasons why I liked these two and not the first two `Meet Vegito' and `Rip in the Universe' are because they were more fast and interesting in terms of action. I liked `Incredible Fighting Candy' episode because even when Vegito is turned into a piece of candy he still manages to fight Buu in a comical and interesting way. Another great moment is where Goku & Vegeta travel inside Buu's body and fight the thought forms of Gohan, Piccolo and Gotenks. There is an intense moment where kid Buu destroys the Earth and Goku & Vegeta are running to escape it the energy ball. It is sad to see that Gohan, Piccolo, Trunks and Goten die in the explosion of planet Earth. I would have liked to see Gohan survive because he was alive for the large part of DBZ. It would have been great to see Gohan, to be the only Z-fighter that has not died throughout the entire series. Also Tien and Chiaotzu would have died in the explosion as well.
Goku's fight with kid Buu was fast paced and the attacks were brutal.
I like it when they show Hell in Other world, with bad guys such as Cell, Doctor Gero, Babidi, King Cold, Frieza, Appule and the 4 members of the Ginyu Force. I would have liked to have seen Nappa and Raditz talking about Vegeta and Goku since they both had some connection to them both. Also since Captain Ginyu the frog died in the explosion of planet Earth, I would have liked to see him return to his original body and meet up with the other members of the Ginyu Force.
Vegeta's fight with kid Buu, showed he could really push his own limits and go beyond them.
The fight between kid Buu and the fat Buu was comical & fun. One part is where the good Buu spits into 4 entities and pounds the hell out of kid Buu.
It is great to see past characters, which don't play much of a part but still are around. Like the ones they showed: Upa & Bora, Android 17, Suno & Eighter (Android 8), Devilman and Nam. It really did make me happy when the people of the world giving up their energy in an effort to defeat Buu once and for all. What a great episode, to end off Dragonball Z.
The fight with Goku and Uub at the Martial Arts Tournament was electrifying. They should have made a movie between the 7-year gap of the end of DBZ and the beginning of GT with Goku training Uub.
On the front cover, which has Super Vegito, I would have put one of the evil forms of Majin Buu, because like Season 3(Frieza) and Season 5(Perfect Cell) they have had the main bad guy on the front cover. Vegito only appeared in 4 episodes and so there aren't enough grounds for him to appear on the last season of Dragonball Z.
If I had the power to change who gets to be on the front covers they will be: Season 1(Piccolo or Goku),Season 2 (Vegeta or Gohan),Season 3(Frieza),Season 4(Trunks or Krillin),Season 5(Perfect Cell),Season 6(SS2 Gohan or SS Goku),Season 7(Great Saiyaman Gohan or Hercule),Season 8 (Majin Vegeta or Piccolo) and Season 9 (Any one of the evil forms of Majin Buu)
When I look at the entire story for Dragonball Z, I wouldn't change it. The things that have happened, happen for a reason.
For example:
* If Goku hadn't sacrificed himself to rid the world from Raditz, he would have never trained with King Kai and learned the Spirit Bomb and Kaioken Attack technique, which he has used throughout DBZ to vanquish enemies such as Turles, Lord Slug, Super Android 13, Doctor Wheelo and kid Buu (Goku did use the Spirit Bomb against Vegeta and Frieza but they survived it).
* If Piccolo hadn't told Raditz about the dragonballs, Vegeta and Nappa would have never come to Earth.
* If Nappa hadn't killed Piccolo, Bulma, Krillin and Gohan would never have gone to Planet Namek to revive their fallen friends.
* And on planet Namek, a lot of Freiza's men were killed thanks to the local Nameks and Vegeta (who was spared by Krillin by Goku's plea)
* If Frieza hadn't killed Krillin, Goku would never have transformed into a Super Sayian.
* If Goku hadn't died a second time, during the Cell Games saga, Goku wouldn't have trained in Other World and attained levels Super Sayian 2 and 3.
Out of the 9 seasons for DBZ, I actually like watching seasons 2,3,5,6,8 and 9. It doesn't mean I hate watching seasons 1,4 and 7. It just means from the beginning of one season to the end, it just has a lot more exciting scenes in it than seasons 1,4 and 7. In seasons 1,4 and 7 there are a few episodes which are a bit slow or I hate to say this `boring'.
And that's it, for my review!
Awesome Season!! September 16, 2009

I hate that the Buu Saga technically spans over 3 seasons (in order to understand the whole story), but I love DBZ anyways! Glad I don't have to wait for them to translate on TV anymore. A must-have for any DBZ fan ... giggity! =)
 Great series horrible packaging September 9, 2009

Its the end of an era. Its a great series. Its a box set that comes with scratched discs no matter what you do. If you are a collector then look elsewhere for your set. I have bought this set 3 times and every time there are discs scratched (especially disc 3) and/or discs loose. I don't understand why its so hard to make a thin pack or some other decent quality box set. Quick money/cheap product.
