It looks a lot like the original Planet Namek, which I assume is because Porunga went to some trouble to find an uninhabited world that resembled the original as closely as possible. The movie takes place on New Namek, the planet Porunga relocated the Namekians too back in Episode 107. I always get “Return of Cooler” and “Cooler’s Revenge” mixed up, because both titles sound like sequels.Īnyway, let’s get on with this. If anything, Funimation kind of undersold the movie with their title. And hey, is that Vegeta on the cover? Sold! Well, Mecha-Frieza was awesome, so this can’t miss.

Cooler’s back, and he looks like he’s made of metal. I remember walking into the store in 2002 and seeing this one on the rack, and the cover art looked pretty awesome. The Cooler movies were the first DBZ films I bought on DVD. The thing is, I do like this movie, and for reasons that have nothing to do with large numbers of robots. It’d be a rip-off to call it that, and yet Toei inflated the count by seven orders of magnitude. So they could have called it “Fight! A Thousand Powerful Warriors.” That would at least be technically correct, but I’d still complain, because you never actually see that many of them on screen, and they don’t actually show them all fighting. I have to assume the title refers to all the robots, but the script never refers to there being more than a thousand. There are not ten billion powerful warriors in this movie. Cooler, from the previous movie, has returned. title, “Return of Cooler”, actually describes the premise of the movie. I know there’s otaku who treat everything Funimation does like a war crime, but the U.S. The original title is “Dragon Ball Z: Fight! 10 Billion Powerful Warriors” That is straight up bullshit, by the way. Movie 6 premiered on March 7, 1992, after Episode 130 and before Episode 131 aired on TV.
