History Anime / DragonBallZBojackUnbound

* HeroesWantRedheads: Krillin got [[DistractedByTheSexy distracted by Zangya's sexiness]] in the movie.

* EleventhHourSuperPower: Super Saiyan 2 isn't brought out until the climax of the film.

* {{Flanderization}}: Master Roshi's DirtyOldMan tendencies are at their worst here. While he would have some degree of interest in tournaments in the main anime, here he spends most of his screentime stalking women or sleeping, and he flat-out states that he doesn't care about the tournament at all since he knows Gohan or Trunks would win anyway.

* 11thHourSuperPower: Super Saiyan 2 isn't brought out until the climax of the film.

* AffablyEvil: According to the pre-battle comments in the videogames, Zangya is very polite, well-spoken, cool, and somewhat [[DeadpanSnarker sarcastic]].

* BreakoutVillain: Zangya, she is very popular among fans, and is the only consistent Galaxy soldier that appears along Bojack in videogames (outside of Xenoverse 2, but then again, Bojack was a DLC character).

* TheDarkChick: Zangya qualifies given how brutally she beats down Krillin.

* BadassBaritone: Bojack. Especially since his first scene has him walk from a shadowed doorway, musing (in his deep register) about how long it's been since he's (and we quote) "''snapped someone's neck''". Might even cross into BassoProfundo.

* FlatCharacter: All of the Galaxy Soldiers. It doesn't help that they don't have enough dialogues to get some sort of personality or motivation for their acts.

* WealthsInAName: The Cash family. The father is named X.S (excess cash), his wife is named Lotta (lot of cash), and their son is Monty (sounds like money). The Japanese version is more blatant, where their family is named "Money" of all things, and Monty's given name is Dollar (''Dollar Money'' is his actual name).

* TheWorfEffect: Vegeta and Piccolo's only actual fights have them curb-stomped badly by Bojack, and this is after they make dramatic appearances.

** Super Saiyan 2 Gohan versus anyone. After getting curb stomped himself for a good portion of the movie, Gohan manages to kill two of the Galaxy Soldiers in a single hit, then proceed to impale [[BigBad Bojack]] with a ''single punch''.

* CoversAlwaysLie: See DecoyProtagonist.

* TheDragon: Zangya for Bojack.

* MusclesAreMeaningless: Zangya is at least stronger than Frieza, but is even thinner than 18.

** Earlier in the movie, Tien goes up against Trunks and... [[SubvertedTrope actually does pretty well.]] Once Trunks goes Super Saiyan, however, the fight is over in 5 seconds flat.

* DarkActionGirl: Zangya

The Z Fighters compete in a martial arts tournament advertised as "intergalactic," but it's really a birthday gift for a rich kid who wants to meet aliens. His parents and Mr. Satan plan for a group of actors to show up as "aliens," but when the tournament is taken over by Bojack, an evil scourge from Planet Hera who escaped the imprisonment placed upon him by the four Kais when King Kai's planet was destroyed, and his fellow Heraian space pirates the Galaxy Soldiers, Gohan and his friends must work together to stop Bojack and his minions.

The film is notable for being the first film ''not'' to receive an abridged adaptation in ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'', due to the creators of said series suffering from burnout and the fact that Bojack's dialogue is mostly limited to one-liners.

* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler: At the end of the movie, Zangya, who has been consistently being portrayed as loyal to her boss, is betrayed and killed by Bojack.]]

** Vegeta swore to never fight again after the death of Goku, which he adhere's to at first, before coming out of retirement to attack Bojack. Trunks actually lampshades this after his father helps him.

* GenericDoomsdayVillain: While Bojack has some sort of backstory, he and his crew are pretty much this. They don't have a clear backstory or motivation other than mindless destruction and proving they are superior. While King Kai said they were trapped in a star by all the Kaiosamas, how he became that powerful that the Kaiosamas had to intervene or any information about Bojack crew is left untouched. All we know is that they are really powerful SpacePirates, and that's it.

* InexplicablyAwesome: Exactly what Bojack and his crew are never explained, yet he is more powerful than a Super Saiyan.

** Trunks was never noted to return to the past after defeating the Androids and Cell of his time.
** Vegeta swore to never fight again after the death f Goku, which he adhere's to at first, before coming out of retirement to attack Bojack.

* BadassNormal: Tien and Yamcha (when compared with who they're fighting against). They could sense that who they were fighting was powerful, but they charged in swinging.

* FlatCharacter: All of the Galaxy Soldiers, save perhaps Zangya. It doesn't help that they don't have enough dialogues to get some sort of personality or motivation for their acts. Zangya remains quite memorable among fans due to being the only major female villain (save for Android 18 and Princess Snake) in the ''Z'' saga.

The film is notable for being the first (and so far, only) film ''not'' to receive an abridged adaptation in ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'', due to the creators of said series suffering from burnout and the fact that Bojack's dialogue is mostly limited to one-liners.

''Dragon Ball Z: Bojack Unbound'' (known in Japan as ''Doragon Bōru Zetto: Ginga Giri-Giri!! Butchigiri no Sugoi Yatsu''; lit. "Dragon Ball Z: Galaxy at the Brink!! The Super Incredible Guy") is the ninth ''[[Anime/DragonBallZ Dragon Ball Z]]'' movie. It was released in Japan on July 10, 1993, between episodes 196 and 197. The English version was dubbed by Creator/FUNimation Entertainment in August 17, 2004, and it was digitally remastered and re-released on February 10, 2009.

* NonSerialMovie: The film is set sometime after the Cell games. The only thing that prevents it from completely fitting in the timeline is Future Trunks being present, but in the anime Future Trunks explicitly mentoins paying the past one final visit to tell them of how he freed the future (he is interrupted by his timeline's Cell, and the last seen of Future Trunks in ''Z'' is him taking care of that Cell), so there's that.

* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: Bojack is about as strong as Cell, if not stronger. Unfortunately for him, he came ''after'' Gohan had unlocked a form that ultimately made that a cake walk. Unlike most NonSerialMovie villains, Bojack also doesn't seem to be stronger than the previous movie villain, Broly, as Broly could take on Gohan, Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo and Trunks at the same time, which puts him well above Perfect Cell, who would at the very least have a decent workout on his hands with any single one of those. Bojack is roughly on Cell's level and defeats Vegeta, Piccolo and Trunks in succession, although each of them holds their own for a bit.

** The tournament starts off as a free-for-all on a series of moving platforms and towers over the the ocean. This lasts until there are four contestants left.
** The fights move to the private island, where the final four contestants have to fight Mr. Satan's disguised students in four arenas built underneath the island. They have to ride special pods going through tunnels to get their assigned arenas, which are brought to life via virtual reality.

* BigDamnHeroes: Vegeta and Piccolo arrive to assist the heroes as usual for the movies; the former hands Future Trunks his sword and the latter saves Gohan from another fatal attack again. The standout, however, is Goku. He ''defies the laws of Other World'' to save Gohan from being crushed to death in a bear hug from Bojack and inspire him to tap into his inner strength and defeat Bojack. [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments It works…]][[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome wonderfully]].

* BigDamnHeroes: Goku, ''big time''. He ''defies the laws of Other World'' to save Gohan from being crushed to death in a bear hug from Bojack and inspire him to tap into his inner strength and defeat Bojack. [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments It works…]][[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome wonderfully]].

** The fights move to the private island, where the final four contestants have to fight Mr. Satan's disguised students in four arenas built underneath the island. They have to ride special pods going through tunnels to get their assigned arenas.
*** The first arena is in a cavern in the active volcano on the island. This is where Krillin fights Zangya.

** The final arena is an extensive ruined UndergroundCity, which is where Mr. Satan would presumably be fought in.

* UndergroundCity: The final arena where Bojack is fought is an expansive ruined city built underneath the island where the tournament takes place.
