The third season of the popular Ishonen/I (boy's) show IDragon Ball Z/I continues the adventures of Goku and Gohan on Namek, Piccolo's home planet. Goku, who has been in a regeneration tank since the end of season 2, recovers just in time to challenge the sniggering Frieza, one of the most grating villains in anime history. Having defeated Gohan, Krillin, Vegeta, and Piccolo, Frieza takes on Goku in a protracted duel. When he begins to doubt his ability to overcome Goku, Frieza destroys the core of Namek, ensuring it will explode in a matter of minutes. Enraged by the death of Krillin and so many others, Goku transforms into the one thing Frieza fears: a Super Saiyan, a legendary warrior who appears once every 1,000 years. As the seconds tick away, the two most powerful individuals in the universe duke it out. While they're beating the Isoba/I out of each other, King Kai hatches a plan to use the Dragon Balls of Earth and Namek to ensure a happy ending. As the battle between Goku and Frieza intensifies, the kicks and punches fly, producing titanic explosions. But the duel goes on for more than 20 episodes: With only a limited budget and crude special-effects techniques at their disposal, the filmmakers have to recycle footage endlessly. IDragon Ball Z: Season 3/I is more entertaining when the viewer allows a few days to elapse between episodes, rather than indulging in a Super Saiyan marathon. (Rated TV PG. suitable for ages 8 and older: violence, brief nudity, tobacco use, ethnic stereotypes) I--Charles Solomon/I

 Quite possibly the best season of the Dragon Ball Z series September 7, 2010
LynnJynh9315 (Missouri, USA)
Traditionally, for VHS and such, Dragon Ball Z has been broken down by "sagas" rather than the more popular "seasons" which have become the standard on DVD. The new season formats for DBZ can probably best be understood by breaking the series up into three separate story-arcs, each consisting of three complete seasons and culminating in an epic confrontation with one of the series' three super-villains. As such, it would look something like this:
br /
br /Season One
br / Saiyan saga
br /Season Two
br / Namek saga
br / Ginyu saga
br /Season Three
br / Frieza saga
br /--------------------
br /Season Four
br / Garlic Jr. saga
br / Trunks saga
br / Android saga
br /Season Five
br / Imperfect Cell saga
br / Perfect Cell saga
br /Season Six
br / Cell Games saga
br /--------------------
br /Season Seven
br / Great Saiyan-man saga
br / World Tournament saga
br /Season Eight
br / Babidi saga
br / Majin Buu saga
br /Season Nine
br / Fusion saga
br / Kid Buu saga
br /
br /The epic conclusion to the first story-arc in the Dragon Ball Z series contains perhaps the most iconic and recognizable scenes in the entire franchise: the classic battle between Goku and the super villain Frieza. Season Three begins with Goku recovering in Frieza's spaceship while Gohan, Krillin, Vegeta and eventually Piccolo face off against Frieza as he transforms into his various incarnations.
br /
br /What makes this season so thrilling is the sheer ferocity of the battles that take place; the faceoff between Goku and Frieza is so intense that they literally tear the planet apart and end up clashing amidst geysers of lava and electrical storms. In addition to this, it is surprising how much effort the show's creators spent making Frieza into a gigantic jerk-- not only does he have no regard for others and a streak of pride five miles long, he's also treacherous to the extreme. Forgoing his ego in a moment of desperation, Frieza begs for mercy only to use his foes' pity as an opportunity to finish them. You know a character is cold when he'll lower himself down to the level of a slug just to reap vengeance upon his enemies.
br /
br /Season Three of Dragon Ball Z also marks the first appearance of the infamous "super saiyan", as Goku suddenly turns into the gold warrior of legend and amps the action up to frightening new heights.
br /
br /Whether you are a fan of the series or a DBZ noobie, Season Three will blow your mind in ways only Dragon Ball Z can. With massive battles between seemingly omnipotent super beings, DBZ is one of the most action-packed series of all time... and this is easily one of its best seasons.

Alexandra Edholm (South Bend, IN USA)
This product came in great condition and it was worth the price. i love dbz and the frieza/goku fight is a personal favorite of mine.
Love the Uncut footage July 14, 2010
Jonathan Smith
I love the fact that this sage is remastered and uncut, there is a bit more violence than was shown on tv, a definitely more adult language. However even though it does have curse words, there is still some childish bickering which at times is often hilarious. I plan on getting season 3-9. I just finished watching 3. 4 and 5 are in the mail coming to me right now. I forgot how utterly exhausting the Freeza Saga is, but it marked the beginning of serious villains and fighting in my opinion. Definitely worth the money. Any DBZ fan will be happy to have this Saga at their fingertips to satisfy the itch.
