絶体絶命の悟空!元気玉に願いを託せ
Zettai Zetsumei no Gokuu! Genkidama ni Negai wo Takuse
Goku in Absolute Peril! Entrust Your Wishes to the Genki-dama
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shortly after the episode begins, Goku uses the Taiyou-ken on Oozaru Vegeta to give himself some time to try and form a Genki-dama. Almost the entire scene has been re-animated and all of the bright flashing light effects have been removed, instead being replaced with bright dramatic lines. The close-up sequence of Goku's face as he unleashes the Taiyou-ken has also been drastically cut down, so much so that if you blink you'll miss it because it is only on the screen, and I kid you not, for one-tenth of a second. In DragonBall Z, this sequence is shown for an entire second but is almost blinding. Oddly, the scene actually ends on a bright flash, but quickly fades to white to prevent a repetitive flashing effect. Basically, all of the flashing effects have been removed and the scenes overall impact has been drastically reduced.



This single shot of Goku raising his hands to the sky as he asks everything alive on Earth to give him some of their energy has been re-animated, though I'm not exactly sure why. However, it does appear that the original background was used, which incidentally is the background used in the new pre-show introduction. So it may have been re-animated just because they could, since they had the original background lying around.

After Goku has collected enough ki to complete his Genki-dama, he concentrates all of the ki into his fist. This scene has been re-animated, and while it looks great, all of the scenes leading up to this were left as-is making this scene stand out due to the updated effects. The color change of the ki from white to blue doesn't help either.

The close-up shot of Goku's hand as he prepares to throw the Genki-dama at Vegeta has been re-animated. Again the color of the ki has been changed from white to blue.

As Goku gets hit by Vegeta's ki blast before he can throw the Genki-dama at him, it fades away as he can't hold on to the energy. This close-up shot of Goku's hand has been re-animated and the colors were altered once again.

After seeing that Goku is still alive after getting hit by his attack, Vegeta tells him that he's one tough, but can tell that he's near his limit. This scene has been re-animated, but again, I'm not sure why since the source material looks to be in good shape.

As Vegeta goes in to finish off the now crippled Goku, he fires a ki blast into Vegeta's eye. Goku firing the ki blast and it hitting Vegeta in the eye have been re-animated. You'll notice that the detail of Goku's hand has been lost, the overall contrast and shadowing is much more noticeable, and all flashing effects have been removed.


This re-animated scene is quite interesting, as it embodies what most people thought the series was going to be like. The frames have been redrawn and extended on the sides to make the scene widescreen rather than being cropped at all. In fact, the top of the scene has also been extended so that Oozaru Vegeta's head isn't cut off anymore. This is the first time we've seen something like this in DragonBall Kai, which is surprising since we've had a couple of scenes like this before. Albeit, this is probably the worst one.

Vegeta continues to play with Goku, who has now fainted, while Gohan tries to distract him from noticing Krillin behind him. Vegeta playing with Goku like a rag-doll has been re-animated.

The scene where Oozaru Vegeta slowly turns to look at Krillin, who just threw a Kienzan at him, has been re-animated.

After getting his tail cut off, the shot of Oozaru Vegeta turning and noting he didn't realize there was somebody else there has been re-animated. I'm still not sure why some of these shots of Oozaru Vegeta are being re-animated.

Gohan's entire flashback of Piccolo saving has been re-animated, which really should have been done to the original scene as well.


Vegeta yelling at Gohan not to underestimate him, while referring to himself in third person, has been re-animated.
