With the attitude of following the Akira Tokiyama manga closer, and tightening up the action, 'Kai' doesn't reinvent the show like the new 'Evangelion' series is doing, but instead tries to present the story the way it was originally intended.
If you're anything like me, you may see 'Dragon Ball Z: Kai' as a way to eliminate any excuses and finally give the king of anime series a real shot. With the three series providing some confusion, and the enormous size of the show, I've never found myself truly capable of "getting into" the 'Dragon Ball' program. To undertake a series of this length would be difficult and time consuming, at best, and to have seen the entire series in order numerous times shows serious devotion.and a serious need for a significant other. In my opinion, the only things close to 'Dragon Ball's run are the 10,000-plus episode streaks of a few soap operas, and some of the larger comic series, like Spider-Man and Batman, which constantly move forward in story, though the occasional sidestep or backtrack is inevitable. Sure, 'The Simpsons' has more than 450 episodes now, but it isn't a serial, requiring one to watch each episode in order to truly keep one's thumb on the pulse of the events shown. At last Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Trunks and Piccolo return to Earth just as the Dark Planet explodes.The 'Dragon Ball Z' saga runs a massive 291 episodes (not even counting the 'Dragon Ball' or 'Dragon Ball GT' series). Hatchiyack devastates the heroes until the Saiyans (after having transformed into their Super Saiyan states) and Piccolo combine their powers together into one massive wave of energy, ending the threat of the Dr.
Hatchiyack appears in a powerful android body, whose power is said to match or perhaps even exceed that of Broly, according to Goku.
When Vegeta vaporizes Lychee, preventing him from re-materializing, the hate of the last remaining Tuffle causes Hatchiyack to exceed its limit. Lychee is a ghost warrior himself, generated by Hatchiyack. Lychee on the Dark Planet and engage him, discovering that his ghost warriors are generated by a machine called Hatchiyack, a device powered by the Tuffles' hatred for the Saiyans. The barrier is destroyed by Bulma, who also came with the antidote for the Destron gas. It is revealed that these ghost warriors are made of Destron gas and cannot be beaten unless the gas is neutralized. The heroes continue to lose against their foes. Frieza, Cooler, Turles and Lord Slug appear and engage the heroes one on one. When trying to destroy the final machine, Vegeta discovers that it is protected by an impenetrable energy barrier.
The Saiyans, plus Piccolo, only have 72 hours to destroy these machines and find Dr.
He creates a machine that will emit Destron, a gas that could destroy all life on Earth. He now plans to take revenge on the remaining Saiyans, Goku, Vegeta, Trunks, and Gohan. Lychee may be the last of the Tuffle people, a race that was completely wiped some time ago by the Saiyans.
