Story
Seeing the true power of Son Gokuu, Captain Ginyu goes insane with rage that another being in the universe is stronger than he other than Furiza. In order to deal with the situation, Ginyu purposely injures himself and switches bodies with Gokuu using his body change technique. Elsewhere, Gohan and Kuririn have finally found all seven dragon balls and prepare to make their wish, however they cannot due to the dragon balls of Namek requiring a different incantation to summon the dragon. 

Leaving a injured Gokuu in Ginyu's body, Jeice and Ginyu (who is now in Gokuu's body) fly off back to Furiza's ship and the dragon balls. Upon their arrival, Gohan and Kuririn must fight a Ginyu in Gokuu's body. However, with a little help from Vegeta and a small frog, Ginyu and Jeice are defeated. 

Packaging
Another basic screenshot is used of Goku/Ginyu flying on kinton with Gohan. The same style "dual-versions" message that was included on the Assault DVD again appears. The back cover is the same style as well, screen captures with episode summaries.

English
Once again the English versions of season 3 were simply horrible in all aspects. Dialogue changes were sickening, giving the characters the most redundant and pathetic action phrases I have ever heard. The voices were also horrible. Chris Sabat takes over for another character, Jeice, and tries to re-make the Australian accent the character was given in season 2. I didn't like the voicing then, and I especially don't like it now. Mark Britten's Baata ruins how surprisingly good the voicing of the character was in season 2 by making Baata sound like "The Lizard" from Fox's broadcast of Spider Man a few years back. 

How could anyone forget the disgusting musical score provided by Bruce Faulconer. If I had a gun, I would have killed myself after hearing this music just to escape the pain. If you actually consider this music to be good, you need a beating.

Japanese
Perfect as always, but since none of the episodes were all that entertaining or important, there isn't much to say about the Japanese version.

Menu
The menu is the same as Assault, screen capture of Ginyu with only three options set next to dragon balls appears along with that horribly incessant musical score. The menu is simply pathetic.

Final Thoughts
Nothing too important or entertaining happens in these episodes, making them not really worth the money. I would only recommend getting these episodes if they are some of your favorites or you want every single one. Later minna!
