Hey guys, welcome to my first Dragon Ball Z review. I have seen every episode before, but it's been a while so I have the pleasure of rewatching them for this review.
Where else to start but at the beginning? The New Threat is the first episode of the series and picks up 5 years after Dragon Ball ended. Our heroes have been experiencing a time of peace but things are about to change when a mysterious new villain arrives.
This episode mostly just introduces us to several of the main characters, including Goku, Chi-Chi (Goku's wife), Gohan (Goku's son), and Piccolo (the strongest villain from the original Dragon Ball). It also introduces a new villain we know nothing about except that he can from another planet, somehow knows Goku (but for some reason calls him a different name) and is very strong (stronger than Piccolo).
Though it's a fairly tame episode for this series it does it's job of showing what happened to some of the characters from the original Dragon Ball series, or introduces them to us for the first time if you have never seen the older series (you don't have to have seen the old series to enjoy this one, you will just know a lot more about the main characters back stories and connections to each other).
This episode peaks a Dragon Ball fans interest to see what is going on and to find out who this new villain Raditz is and if he is stronger than Goku. Though it's not that action packed it does set everything up for a future fight.
I give The New Threat a 2.5 out of 4 stars.
