I like the characters all parachuting at the beginning, and Teen Goku riding the Nimbus over ponds, fields, and a thunder and lightning sky with Tenkaichi Budokai wisps in the background. Then it closes with Piccolo Daimao's silhouette and Goku landing from a jump off Nimbus with the power pole drawn.

That intro had it all, and it is a real shame that we never got it in any of our Dragonball releases.
Got a link for this? This sounds scrumptious...

P.S. I love the man with no name. I got a nice big poster of him staring right at me.
I wanted a mission, and for my sins, they gave me one.

"Cha-La, Head Cha-La" will always elicit the most feeling from me every time, with its sense of adventure and shonen spirit, and the world opening up to possibilities in the face of adversity. Never once did I tire of the song or the opening sequence. Though I also liked "We Gotta Power".

GT's OPs and EDs are all pretty excellent, too. It's too bad they sandwich such a poor show. My special favorite is "Blue Velvet" and that sequence that celebrates all of Dragon Ball.
Kentai wrote:Son Gokuu is a fascinating character anyway, because he is - at face value, anyway - an idiot savant. The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

International? You mean this?

SERIOUSLY?!?!! O_o
Yes, it's just one of those childhood memories that I have, so I guess I'm nostalgic, just remember all my mates around we'd be fighting in the living room whilst the opening was on.
Next to get; Leged of Saiyan figures and Freeza's force

If anyone sees
Any of the Legend of Saiyan line going cheapish
Or any other Banpresto DBZ figure :)

If anyone has a cooler steelbook dvd that wants to sell it (prefer new but used is fine) when/if the dragon box movies comes out contact me :)
