The Z Warriors discover an unopenable music box and are told to open it with the Dragon Balls. The contents turn out to be a warrior named Tapion who had sealed himself inside along with a monster called Hildegarn. Goku must now perfect a new technique to defeat the evil monster.
Score
Tapion's ocarina theme lives rent-free in every 90s kid's brain.
Practical Effects
Hildegarn's design is kaiju chaos before Godzilla Minus One made it cool.
Writing
Finally, a movie villain with actual pathos and a backstory that slaps.
