DBGT: The Lost Episodes
Vol. 2 - Rejection (Uncut)

The Skinny: Still searching for the Dragon Balls on planet Imecka, Goku, Trunks, and Pan find themselves in the middle of a situation between the people of the planet and the planet's ruler, Lord Don Kee. Later, Pan finds herself in a giant beehive after being mistaken for a queen bee on a giant planet.

Rating: 13+
Where Found: In video stores courtesy of FUNimation Entertainment

Pros: Still a fun show and a great diversion from the end-of-the-world gloom of the latter half of the series.
Cons: Pretty much the same extras as the last disc, and the textless opening is still the "Grand Tour" rap version of the theme, not "Dan Dan."

My Take:

You know, if I got shrunk back down it kid-size, I think I'd be a little upset. I mean, too small to ride some of my favorite amusement park attractions, can't see an R-rated movie, and can't stay out after hours. I'd be ticked. And yet, somehow, Goku, a 50-something year old man who already had a slow metabolism which made him appear as a man in his 20s, handled the situation he has been dealt with well . . . maybe a little too well. And what about Pan being away from school so long? She can't really explain where she's been and why she's been gone for so long. Afterall, this is pretty much her Avalon World Tour (ask a Gargoyles fan about that reference).

Dragon Ball GT may not be the most popular series in the Dragon Ball Legacy, but it does successfully blend the best elements of Dragon Ball and the best elements of DBZ in a short number of episodes. Sure, FUNimation originally thought that we couldn't handle the "dragon ball hunt" portion of the series and jumped right into the martial arts action of the series, but they smartly brought the unseen episodes into a collection known as "The Lost Episodes." I talked about the first volume a month ago, and it's time to talk about Rejection. No, not the countless attempts of trying to date that crush at school, but the second volume of the Lost Episodes of DBGT.

The title refers to what Goku's going through as he tries to use his teleportation method only to find out that he can't use it (well, that answers my question from the first review). The crew are trying to find their spaceship, which got stolen. They track it down only to get assaulted by the thieves, soldiers of Lord Don Kee. Needless to say, the jackass despot ruler isn't too thrilled at the results of that confrontation. Now, Trunks, Pan, and Goku are wanted criminals for taking what was rightfully theirs in the first place, and they have to clear their names while taking on people who feel they're monsters. Goku still has a few tricks up his sleeves, um, vest. After that adventure's over, they have to venture out to a planet full of giant bees, who think Pan is their queen, and a kind-hearted giant to find their first black-star dragon ball.

Dragon Ball GT: Rejection continues a quintet of releases that tells the rest of the DBGT story. must have for all Dragon Ball fans. One of the things I've enjoyed so far about GT is that it doesn't stretch a story out to 30 episodes to tell one story. This Grand Tour seems like a smoother ride without a lot of pointless stretches of time, and it's still a fun series. Pity so many people hated these episodes . . . their loss.
