The Ginyu force is here! Actually, before all that, the chase to get the dragon balls begins.
This is really big development for characters like Gohan and Vegeta. Through this arc of Frieza going around the planet killing everyone and gathering the dragon ball, Gohan/Krillian/Vegeta are all doing their best to snatch the dragon balls from the evil forces. While Vegeta here is still evil he gains boost left and right for power, taking Frieza goons down with no mercy. It's both brutal and a delight to see Vegeta unchained.
On the flip side we get plenty of Gohan and Krillian moments, some power ups, and some situations that'll keep you on the edge of your seat. On top of that we get to learn about more about Namek, the people, and where they started. It builds a lot of lore.
The one big negative for me is Goku's arc here is SO similar to Saiyan saga. Basically we are waiting for his arrival, his friends are in danger, he comes in and saves the day in a VERY similar fashion to that saga. It's a bit too much like it.
Overall though, this is a great mid chapter before the explosion of Super Siayan Goku. I'm excited to get to that next but this works well for world building and Vegeta/Gohan show. A 4 out of 5.
