    This movie is the funniest of all. When Vegeta doesn't want to fuse with Goku and the hole "I won't fuse with my greatest enemie" thing starts and Vegeta's facial expressions because he knows he has to fuse with Goku. Superb. Then we have Janemba, who is one of my favorite charcaters. His powers (fading away in a LEGO way and creating portals to teleport his attacks, also used to defend & the converting anything on sword power) It was awesome. I love Goku SSJ3, which is here. The battla SS3 vs Janemba is awesome. Then its the Hitler scenes like "We'll rule the world again". I'm against the war and all that stuff, but he was like...I dunno, he souldn't have been used. And finally Gogeta. I had a toy of him and stuff. He's awesome! Too bad he was like...a minute or so. And something to remark is that (in a way) Vegeta beats the villain for the 1st time hehe..moreless

    The beginning starts out at the other world martial arts competition, where Goku and Pikkon are fighting. After a couple minutes, the border between other world is opened because of a worker at king yemma's check in station's carelessness. As Gohan, Videl, Goten, and Trunks are on Earth trying to defeat all of the people that escaped hell (including Frieza!), Goku tries to defeat Janemba (when Janemba is defeated, the barrier betwen otherworld will return). After much failed effort, Vegeta appears and decides to help Goku fight Janemba. After Vegeta is defeated, Goku and Vegeta decide to do a fusion. Their first fusion attempt is a failure..but after the 30 minutes are up, Pikkon appears to fight off Janemba while Goku and Vegeta redo the fusion. This time, Vegeta and Goku do a successful fusion, forming Gogeta! Gogeta quickly destroys Janemba, and the barrier between otherworld is destroyed. After Goku thanks Vegeta for participating in the fusion, Vegeta dissappears, and then all of the dead people on Earth are sent back to otherworld.moreless

    heaven and hell are corrupted and the dead are walking among the living. gohan and his girlfriend videl fight the evil souls that come from hell to earth while goku and pikkon are sent to hell (not cause they were bad. it was an assignment) to see what was causing the other world to act strangely. the monster, janemba, fights goku and proves to be a difficult enemy. but when goku goes super saiyan 3, janemba gets his ass kicked. suddenly, janemba turns into a strange looking demon and overpowers goku. vegeta shows up to save him, but also loses to the beast. goku and vegeta are eventually able to perform the fusion dance which creates gogeta. gogeta easily destroys janemba, and peace is returned to earth, heaven, hell, and every where elsemoreless

  • Trivia

    ADD TRIVIA
    • Cell does not appear in this movie despite all of the other previous villains escaping from hell. Edit
    • The events of this movie cannot be placed even in the anime continuity and probably has the most plot holes of any of the movies. Since Baba brought the dead Goku to Earth, Goku has never been on the Supreme Kai's planet. After the death of Vegeta, Gohan was either thought to be dead or on Supreme Kai's planet, and Chi-Chi, Bulma, and Videl were either searching for the Dragon Balls to wish back Vegeta's victims or on Kami's Lookout. Not to mention Shenron can only grant two wishes at this point, not three. Edit
    • Goku tells Janemba he is the only one aside from Majin Buu who made him go SSJ3, which means Goku already fought Majin Buu in this episode. also, Vegeta here is dead (the halo), which means he is still dead. This means this movie happened within the Buu saga.

    • This is the only story (albeit non canon) to date, that the fusion technique was successful in eliminating the enemy. Edit

    • (After the battle is over and the fusion has worn off) Goku: Vegeta, thanks. Vegeta: For what? I should be the one thanking you. Goku: Nah, what do you mean? I loved every minute. (Vegeta's body disappears) Goku: Goodbye, my friend. Edit
    • Janemba: Janemba! Janemba! Goku: Oh! You like me, don't you? I'm the one you want to fight, aren't i? Edit

    • Janemba has very many characteristics of Buu.Both absorbed carefree people to reach their first form such as Dai kaio and Majin Buu, & the teenage ogre Saike & the evil of the history of earth combined(Janemba).Both were once sealed away deep in a sacred area. Both have a first form where they are big fat, can only say their name, stupid, have bulgy eyes, and force Goku to turn SSJ3. Both turn into a new, stronger creature who can stretch their arms, beat Vegeta effortlessly, skinnier, dont say their name as much as the first form, but laugh more, and have no eye brows. Also, both creatures could only be overpowered by fusion between Goku and Vegeta (minus Kid Buu and the spirit Bomb) Edit
    • A game for the PSP called Dragon Ball Z Shin Budokai is based on this movie. Edit
    • The transporting ability Janemba uses to attack is sort of like the power of the golden tiger claws in Xiaolin Showdown, which can transport anything or anyone to any where the user thinks of. Edit
