This movie stands out as one of the absolute best Dragon Ball films ever made, and it’s easy to see why it’s so highly regarded by fans. From start to finish, it delivers exactly what a Dragon Ball movie should: nonstop action, iconic characters, unforgettable moments, and a fusion that feels genuinely legendary. Gogeta alone elevates this movie into elite status. In my opinion, he is the best fusion in the entire franchise. His design is clean, powerful, and confident, and his aura feels completely unmatched compared to any other fusion. The way he carries himself on screen makes it instantly clear that Janemba has no chance once Gogeta appears.

The English dub adds even more to Gogeta’s presence, especially with his theme music. That theme perfectly captures his overwhelming power and calm dominance, making his short screen time feel even more impactful. Every punch, kick, and energy blast feels heavier because of how well the sound design and music are handled. Even though Gogeta doesn’t appear for very long, his role is so memorable that it doesn’t matter. Sometimes less screen time actually makes a character feel more legendary, and Gogeta is the perfect example of that.

While the plot itself is definitely on the sillier side and doesn’t have much depth, it honestly doesn’t hurt the movie at all. Dragon Ball movies don’t always need complex stories to be great. This one knows exactly what it is and doesn’t waste time pretending to be something else. It jumps straight into chaos and keeps the momentum going. The idea of the barrier between the living world and the afterlife breaking down leads to some fun and unexpected moments, and it gives the movie an excuse to throw powerful characters into constant combat.

Vegeta showing up toward the end adds another layer of hype that can’t be ignored. His presence always raises the stakes, and seeing him alongside Goku once again reinforces why their rivalry and partnership are so iconic. Their fusion into Gogeta feels earned, even in a short runtime, because of how intense the situation becomes.

Janemba is easily one of the coolest Dragon Ball villains ever created. His design is unique, unsettling, and memorable, especially after he transforms. The fact that he doesn’t say a single word in his final form somehow makes him even more intimidating. He doesn’t need dialogue to be threatening; his actions and sheer power speak for him. He feels like pure chaos given form, which fits the movie perfectly.

One of the funniest and most unexpected parts is Goten and Trunks defeating one of history’s most evil figures earlier in the movie. It’s classic Dragon Ball humor and shows how the series can balance absurdity with hype without taking itself too seriously.

Even though the movie is only about 47 minutes long, it’s packed almost entirely with action, which works heavily in its favor. There’s no wasted time, no dragging scenes, and no unnecessary filler. Every minute feels purposeful and entertaining. Because of that, the short runtime actually makes the movie more rewatchable.

Overall, this movie is a must-watch for any Dragon Ball fan. It may not have a deep plot, but it more than makes up for it with style, energy, and unforgettable moments. Gogeta alone is worth the price of admission. A solid 90/100, and absolutely one that’s worth watching again and again.
