#YAMCHA VS KAMI JAPANESE MOVIE#
In 2000, Funimation released the movie with a new dub to VHS and bilingual DVD. The script was more faithful to the Japanese script and all the background music was kept the same. The ending was changed from the Japanese ending to show a still picture of Goku flying away from Shenron (known as Dragon God in the Harmony Gold dub) taken from the intro and using the intro theme song instead of the Japanese ending theme with the Harmony Gold credits. Their dub changed the names of some of the characters and had parts of it censored, and the opening and ending sequence changed with instead of the first Japanese sequence they used the second Japanese sequence, with the Japanese katakana removed from the Dragon Balls, the Japanese credits removed and replaced with the Harmony Gold credits, and they changed some of the dialog from the Japanese intro. It was not widely noticed and went under the radar.

It was also likely to have been released on home video in the early 90s. Harmony Gold USA broadcast their dub of this film and Curse of the Blood Rubies as a double feature on WPSG Philly 57 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and on other channels and cable systems in a select few test markets. These were presented in a new widescreen transfer from the original negatives with a 16:9 aspect ratio that was matted from the original 4:3 aspect ratio. In 2006, Toei Animation released Mystical Adventure as part of the final Dragon Box DVD set, which included all four Dragon Ball films and thirteen Dragon Ball Z films. The movie seemingly takes place during Goku and Krillin's training under Master Roshi. Goku throws the final ball into the moat where he then asks Shenron to resurrect Bora who is reunited with his son. Angry Shen goes to kill Chiaotzu instead but Tien blows away Master Shen with a Tri-Beam. Shen having round up the others along with Chiaotzu orders Tien Shinhan to kill the emperor however he realizes that he likes Chiaotzu too much, and does not kill his friend. Bulma barely makes it out with Yamcha's help and they jump into the moat surrounding Chiaotzu's castle, but accidentally drop their Dragon Balls into a deep fissure. However, when they try to grab the Dragon Ball's that are located in the palace, they are ambushed by Shen and his guards. At this time Goku shows up on the Nimbus and Goku defeats and kills General Tao with Arale's help.īulma, Oolong, Launch and Puar are looking for the other six Dragon Balls, so Bulma can make a wish. While on the fast track to Goku and over the slies of Penguin Village, Arale Norimaki sees down and grounds him by throwing a large boulder at him. Shen is informed that the final Dragon Ball he needs was in Goku's body and General Tao heads out to recover the ball. Goku then meets Korin who tells him that he lost because he lost his cool and that he must remain calm if he wants to win. Tao then uses his Dodon Ray to blast Goku flying all the way into Korin Tower and thinks he died in the attack, however the Dragon Ball in his shirt protected him. Out of anger Goku attacks Tao but his Kamehameha proves to have no effect on him. He is then challenged by General Tao who easily overpowers him and kills him by throwing him into a statues spear. After Master Roshi distracts Yamcha, Bora is able to land a hit on him to knock him out of bounds to become Champion himself. During the tournament, Yamcha, who has also decided to enter to test his strength, becomes the champion briefly before Bora steps in to face him. They decide to take it to Mifan to use it to demand that Mifan's soldiers be forced to leave the Sacred Land of Korin.īora is tricked into entering the tournament (the winner of the tournament will be granted one wish by Chiaotzu). In their homeland Bora and Upa have located the final Dragon Ball and hide it from the Soldiers destroying their land in their attempt to find it. Lieutenant Blue announces that Ran Ran is being held in Master Shen's room but he is killed by General Tao for such an accusation.

Minister Shen and General Tao claim that they will use the wish from Shenron to locate Ran Ran, but are actually planning, with Tien Shinhan's help, to kill Chiaotzu and take over the country though Tien is not aware of their plan to kill Chiaotzu. The minister, Shen, has Emperor Pilaf and his gang work on a Global Dragon Radar in order to locate the Dragon Balls and forcibly takes it from him when he tries to renegotiate their payment. Meanwhile, the Emperor of Mifan, Chiaotzu, is trying to find his lost " Ran Ran".

Goku and Krillin having finished their training with Master Roshi are told about a World Martial Arts Tournament that is to be held in the country of Mifan and they are enthusiastic to enter.
