Youtube has transformed into a wonderful land of creations. That would never have happened were it not for the music video, live streaming, and movie making platforms. Last week we were blessed with the latest gift from the Nerdy Gods when Dragon Ball Z: Light of Hope dropped and hit hardcore DBZ fans with a live action tale of Trunks’ history. If you’re unfamiliar with the franchise, Trunks is Vegeta’s son and has a saga where he goes back in time to stop these 2 savage androids from taking over Earth and killing like 98% of the population. Dragon Ball Z: Light of Hope is the beginning of that story arc and does so much right that you wonder how in the fuck Hollywood can’t do DragonBall correctly. “It’s amazing, I’m the reason // Everybody fired up this evening” Let’s get one thing right, Light of Hope looks amazing. Point blank. Trunks is rockin the purple hair proper while goin’ hard in the Capsule Corp tee. Gohan’s gear is so authentic, I could see Goku smiling down from heart virus heaven. The cityscapes are on point. The androids are damn near identical to their cartoon counterparts. Bulma with the good blue hair is out here puttin’ that engineering mind to good use, working on the time machine that Trunks eventually uses. Her Capsule Corp lab contains the last hope for a normal the world, but all will be for naught if Trunks goes and gets himself killed.
Oh, what’s that Gohan? Trunks is off getting himself killed? You can sense the little homie in danger…
