Viewing Notes
Somehow I had not seen this sequel to the first chapter and both films are bundled together on Prime so I gave it a go. It’s cool how the first movie is the origin of the cybernetic eye and this one Goku uses it. What is super silly, however, is that he’s like “I could launch a nuclear missile attack with my eye” yet has to have all this one on one battles throughout the story. It’s like, dude just drop a freaking regular bomb on these assholes and call it a day.
