Dragon Ball Z the TV Specials

Double bill of Japanese television special animes from the Dragon Ball Z series. In 'The History of Trunks' (1993), an alternate future sees Goku (voice of Masako Nozawa) succumb to a heart virus. In order to stop this outcome from happening, they must travel back in time to obtain a certain medicine.

Meanwhile, a young Trunks (Takeshi Kusao) trains Gohan (Nozawa) as the pair must overthrow Androids #17 (Shigeru Nakahara) and #18 (Miki Itô) as they annihilate Earth. In 'Bardock - The Father of Goku' (1990), a glimpse of the past shows Goku's father Bardock (Nozawa), as he is bestowed the power of foresight and can see the future. When he realises that his race's destiny hangs in the balance and what becomes of his son, Goku, Bardock incites a revolution against the villainous Frieza (Ryûsei Nakao) to stop the destruction of Vegeta.
