Sounds so fun and silly something you would definatly see goten and trunks goofing off to this track

Next https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul6VvrOPzl4 (Fusion Complete or Up and Coming) It could be theorized that this track was originally composed for when the boys successfully complete the fusion for the first time instead the music placer used friends or rivals

I really like the soaring and victorious beginning. And then it gets so video gamey again, with the constant beat, which is not bad but I cannot separate such synthy sound from video games and associate it with Dragon Ball. The xylophones or whatever those bell like sounds are, are great though.

Chaotic and evil sounding. Very fitting for Kid Buu. Solid piece overall.

I really love the chill sound this song has! Perfectly fitting for the long climb up Korin's Tower. The guitar-like sound is so pleasant to the ears!

Here's another track from Dragon Ball!

I seem to remember that that song is often used in scenes that have lots of action. The scenes shown in that video show scenes from the Red Ribbon Army arc too, which I think fits this song's marching tempo. I like the drums the most in that song, but every instrument works together well. Perfect song for early Dragon Ball.

Unfortunately I have never played that game, but that theme is so energetic. So many things going on the same time, the thumping beat, the angelic synth that starts at 1:05, and all the effects before and after it.

Very fun song!

Now something to celebrate our beloved tyrant's upcoming resurrection.

Very ominous. Also sounds like classical music, like something Mozart would've written. It kind of gives a regal quality to the song, which makes sense with Freeza essentially being like a king with being one of the most powerful beings in the universe. Great song overall.

It's an energizing rock tune, but whenever I hear a Yamamoto track, I can't help but contemplate exactly which source he plagiarized to compile the track. I feel guilty listening.

To quote Shiyonasan "very ominous". The dark synth and its reverberations really convey a cold feeling of distance. I like the playful guitar and the sound effects that accompany it towards the end. No clue how it fits the mood in the series, though, since I've never watched the English dub in its entirety.

Man, that track could've been used in a Budokai game. To borrow Lord Exor's word: it's energetic. I like the atmospheric keyboard in it (or is it violins?). Good song for a fight scene.

A quirky but fun piece that always makes me think of Gohan's adventures in the wilderness.

The intro suprised me since it sounds almost identical to Son Goku's theme in Ultimate Battle 22. Great tension builder overall.

Very '90s, which I like. Gets you pumped up. I've never played this game, but I've heard mixed reviews on it. The soundtrack sounds pretty good though from what I've heard of it.

Has a peaceful sorta epic feel. While I am not crazy about kishi's Tenkaichi score there were a few good tracks

Starts out kind of meh but gets better later on and really helped build tension for the scenes it was used in.

When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Very theatrical and epic. Sounds like a song you'd hear before a major event. Great song.

As much as I try to be objective in my appraisal of Kikuchi's score, I simply can't overcome how chintzy it sounds to me. If the arrangement were improved, I'd probably enjoy it, as it does seem melodically befitting of early Piccolo.

I really like it. It really gives the "climactic final battle" feel.

Love it. Appropriately chaotic for an empty-headed, psychotic villain like Super Buu.

Just found this theme:
https://youtu.be/nVRGbCnSMRg?list=PLrQe ... WnbQSOaX3q (Let it Burn)

Made by the composer of Shippudden and Fairy Tale's OSTs (amazing OSTs) for the Final Chapters. No idea when it plays.
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super
