For many, the events leading up to the fifth season of “Dragon Ball Z” was all just a big tease. With the introduction of Cell (a seemingly indestructible android from the future), it looked like Goku and the rest of the Z Fighters had finally met their match. Not only was Dr. Gero’s new weapon born from the DNA of the greatest warriors to ever walk the Earth, but Cell could also duplicate all of their most powerful attacks. That doesn’t stop Goku and Co. from trying, however, and when they discover that Cell’s primary mission is to track down the Androids and absorb their power, the feuding sides team up to battle their latest threat. Collecting the complete Imperfect and Perfect Cell Sagas, the six-disc set contains remarkably fewer episodes than in past releases, but it’s still a major step up from season four. As usual, it takes two to three times as long to tell an episode’s worth of story, but considering that these episodes also act as the launching pad to one of the series’ greatest story arcs – the Cell Games – it’s well worth the wait.
