Shura-Iro no Senshi ("Battle-Colored Warriors") - What's the Story?

Post by jpranevich » Fri May 25, 2018 5:26 pm

In DBZ episode 20, there is the series's first insert song, Shura-Iro no Senshi, which plays behind some dialog during the retelling of the history of Planet Vegeta.

In DB, the insert songs were fairly prominent, played very much in the foreground during major sequences. This one... just feels dropped in there, barely audible, and entirely out of place. When I listen to it on Youtube from the soundtrack albums, it sounds great!

Is there a story (that we know of) why this specific song received such a poor showing? It would have been fantastic just a few episodes later.
