“Red Ribbon Army Saga”<\/p>\n
Thus we reach the point where Dragon Ball<\/i> becomes less easy to categorise into arcs. I think that the DVDs are more arbitrarily divided at this point, considering that this particular quest for the Dragon Balls doesn’t end until episode 75.
\nI’m still having a good time, but the times aren’t as good as they once were.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Red Ribbon Army and Emperor Pilaf are out for the Dragon Balls! Goku, too, is looking for his Grandfather’s four star Dragon Ball! So it’s a free for all hunt for Dragon Balls, with Emperor Pilaf quickly and inexplicably disappearing from the storyline, and Goku entering a generic tower of bosses confrontation!<\/p>\n
There’s nothing wrong<\/i> with this storyline, per se, it’s just that it doesn’t have any of the supporting cast that makes Dragon Ball<\/i> so much fun. Watching Goku fight a perverted ninja has its laughs, but if Oolong and company were there for the ride it would kick into a higher gear.
\nParticularly unimpressive about this arc is that Goku didn’t really have a challenge on his hands: everything was resolved with a couple of simple punches and one (1) instance of thermal expansion.<\/p>\n
With each sentence, I realise that I can’t write huge essays on Dragon Ball<\/i> because I can’t convince myself that it’s substantial enough. At the end of this set Goku stuffed Bulma into his shirt and headed off for adventure, so I have to hope that that is what he finds!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
