6. The superhero saga
The latest film in the franchise, also adapted from Toyotaro’s manga. It introduces us to Gohan and Piccolo’s fight against the Red Patrol and a new variant of Cell, including transformations for everyone (we’re talking about you, Gohan the Beast). The movie isn’t that good, the manga is better, but it lags far behind other super sagas.
