Story
Now that he has transformed into a Super Saiyajin, Vegeta is having absolutely no problem dodging and countering all of Android 19's attacks. After ripping off 19's arms, Vegeta finishes him off with his new trademark attack, the Big Bang Attack. Shocked at this new development, Android 20 flees, hoping to make it back to his lab before the Z Senshi catch up to him. However, despite the head start 20 had over them, the Z Senshi arrive at the relative area 20 is at. Not thinking he has the power to fight against Vegeta, 20 attempts to drain Piccolo's energy in order to receive a power up. Before 20 could drain all of Piccolo's energy Gohan kicks 20 away, which causes the rest of the fighters to arrive at that location. Angered by 20's attempt, Piccolo declares he will fight 20 himself, not wanting anyone to intervene. 20 thinks this will give him another chance at getting more of Piccolo's power, but soon learns that he is no match for the Namekseijin. When about to finish off Piccolo, Trunks arrives. Seeing Android 20, Trunks reveals that he is not the Android he warned everyone about.

Packaging
Another screen capture, this time of Gero's face. The splash image is present and the text is given layering. The back cover is the same as always, screen captures with episode summaries. No extra included within.

The biggest surprise is the recycling of the back cover from the Bardock DVD (perhaps). The rating suggests that there is "brief nudity" in the episodes, when there is absolutely no nudity in anyway whatsoever. This is just negligence.

Menu
The exact same menu as Androids: Invasion is used for this DVD. Simple screen captures with your choices and disgusting music. With something so horrible, this is not the menu to reuse.

English
Just as horrible, just as pathetic, I'm not even going to get into it this time.

Japanese
Just as great, just as perfect, I'm not getting into this one either.

Extras
More commercials for other DVDs an VHSs. In fact, the same exact ones that were on the Invasion DVD. Come on now FUNimation, is it really that much more money to do something of quality.

Final Thoughts
Alright, though this review was pretty simple and I did not go in depth with anything, this DVD does contain some really great and surprising plot twists that make it more than worth the money. If you are a DBZ fan, I recommend picking up a copy. Later minna!
