So, in the midst of other battles, we get constant cuts to Goku, to remind us he's the main character, telling us what's going on.

#DRAGON BALL Z KAI VS DRAGON BALL Z SERIES#
After being beaten to near-death status, he's put in a bacta-tank (from 'Star Wars,' a film series you may have heard of)-esque recovery device, where he cannot help his friends, though he can sense what is going on. En route for half of the season, Goku finally arrives, far too late, acts overly egotistical, and is quickly put out of commission by the scheming Captain Ginyu's powers. Goku, lord bless him, is such a non-factor this volume he may as well be Raditz's jockstrap. How many times will fights between large groups happen one at a time? Is it normal for a group of any kind to send out one warrior against one warrior, and watch as their friend dies, since they didn't help?! Why can't multiple fights happen at the same time? There's this funny thing called editing, where you combine two differing ideas in the same time frame, it can create tension. I like this show, I really do, but with this release, I have to wonder: how many times can we watch the same damn thing without being bored with it? How many times will heroes or villains act completely out of character, for plot convenience? There are two distinct moments when pivotal characters are not killed by villains who could literally destroy them with both arms tied behind their backs, and we're talking bout bloodthirsty, brutal, evil creatures who do not value life. It seems no one has learned from their past battles, either. Sure, all seven Namekian Dragon Balls are found and brought together, but the constant showboating and arrogance of everyone involved means the ultimate equalizer was not cashed in any of the times it could have been. In fact, the story stalls dramatically, stuck in neutral. The thirteen episodes, which cover the entire Ginyu Force story line, as well as the opening scenes of the battle versus Frieza (up until his third form), seem overly repetitive, especially compared to the prior releases, and very little happens. The third volume of 'Dragon Ball Z: Kai' is definitely my least favorite, so far. With Frieza's initial goons failing, he has a more powerful set of fiends en route to his current location. Goku, having recovered from his last battle, was in transit to the far away planet, training along the way, so that he can be ready to kick serious ass when he gets there. Krillin, Gohan, and Bulma were working against time, severely underpowered against both Vegeta and all of the other beings invading the planet, seeking out their Dragon Balls. When we last left our heroes and villains, the planet Namek was under attack by the villainous Frieza and his minions.
