RIP Akira Toriyama
8 March 2024
I watched this to commemorate the life of Akira Toriyama, the creator of "Dragonball". This fan film is great, featuring this alternate universe where Vegeta arrived to meet up with Goku when he was fighting Chi-Chi at the tournament. I initially thought it was Vegeta who was fighting Goku, but it turned out to be Brolly. What a great bait and switch! The scenes with Chi-Chi were the best in the short. I think she had the most accurate voice of any character there.

Vegeta's didn't seem quite right. I did love seeing these unique designs. I wasn't expecting Brolly to lose his hand! I guess that is something pretty rare in this franchise. Well, the limbs always grow back on a lot of these characters. There's a live-action segment at the end, which is a tad out of place.

It's still wonderful with how you can tell it's a different continuity, yet still faithful to the original. Thank you, Akira Toriyama, for giving us one of the best franchises ever. I feel bad knowing little about the guy himself. Anyway, this had a very unique kind of animation. It's always awesome to see Vegeta become an actual king! I mean, people have always wondered why he didn't become one if his father was dead. ****
