Dragonball Z Movies - 5 Big Battles That Threatened The Universe

dragonball z With a new Dragonball Z animated film released in Japan in over a week, now was the ideal time to look back through the original older movies and determine 5 key battles that threatened to destroy the whole universe. Now obviously this was always the case in the original Z series, but this also carried on in the same way in the original movies as well. Excluding the new animated movie (Movie 14 - Battle Of Gods) there was 13 other animated movies that included some characters that never featured in the series like Gogeta, Cooler (Frieza's brother), Janemba and Hirudegarn, and most of the regular characters that also appeared in the animated series as well as the films like Goku and Vegeta, two of the main good guys that form the Z squad (the team that's made up of some humans that live on planet Earth and some of the Saiyan race that were from different planets originally but now live on Earth with the humans)

5. Hirudegarn vs The Z Fighters (Wrath Of The Dragon)

Hoi, the last of the Kashva race, came to earth to rid of the Z fighters and everyone on earth. Unaware that Hoi was on the bad side, the Z fighters still helped him by collecting all 7 Dragonballs, wishing that the box was unlocked and with that released Tapion (and the top half of Hirudegarn which Tapion had sealed inside of him, Hoi had the bottom half sealed inside of him after he killed Tapion's brother, Minotia). Gohan did his best to stop the monster's lower half (summoned by Hoi) from destroying the whole of Satan City before Tapion arrived and it disappeared. Later on in the movie Hoi directs his power to release the upper half of Hirudegarn. He finally succeeds in this and the monster is whole again, and it leaves the Z fighters to try and stop him. Goku and his sons Gohan and Goten are the first ones to attack him, with Gohan getting crushed by the monster's hand but Vegeta arrives on the scene (after the monster wrecked Vegeta's month long break, and his house!) and saves Gohan but get's wacked everywhere by the monster. Then Goten and Vegeta's son Trunks use the fusion technique to become Gotenks who powers up to Super Saiyan Level 3 form and uses a heavy barrage of energy blasts to try and at least penetrate his armour, only for Hirudegarn to evolve into a more powerfull state, mowing Gotenks down to the ground, smashes Gohan and Videl into a building and throws Goku into some rubble. Tapion with his hero flute and for a short period contains the monster inside him and asks Trunks to kill him and the monster with Tapion's sword but Trunks refuses to kill him thus re-releasing Hirudegarn. Hoi order's Hirudegarn to eradicate the earth, and in the process crushes Hoi with his foot. Goku powered up to Super Saiyan Level 3 to tackle the big monster and his helped with Trunks using Tapion's sword to cut off Hirudigarn's tail. Goku taunts the monster to anger it (as that is its weakness), and uses his Dragon Fist attack to pierce through Hirudegarn, ending his reign of terror.
