Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon

Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon follows Gohan and Videl as they rescue an old man who insists that a legendary hero must be freed from a sealed music box. When the Dragon Balls are used to open it, the warrior Tapion emerges alongside the monstrous Hildegarn, a threat that was imprisoned with him. As Hildegarn breaks loose, Goku and the other fighters must find a way to stop it, with Tapion's ocarina offering the only means of containing the creature again, and with Goku working to master a new technique as the last resort.
