EPISODE REVIEWS

Un gran comienzo para Dragon Ball Z. La presentación de Gohan y la llegada de Raditz cambian por completo el tono de la historia, preparando una amenaza mucho mayor que cualquier rival visto hasta ahora.

Episode Context

As Episode 1 of 291, 'The New Threat' is pure foundation, it reintroduces Goku's world in peacetime specifically to raise the stakes when that peace shatters. Coming directly after the events of Dragon Ball, it bridges the gap between series while setting the stage for the Saiyan conflict that will dominate the early stretch of DBZ. Everything established here, Gohan's introduction, Goku's relationships, the mysterious new arrival, becomes essential fuel for the escalating battles ahead.
