The piece “Janemba ni Natte Shimatta...” (Turned into Janemba) is a haunting choir that paints Janemba as a tragic, cosmic accident. The archive contains isolated audio tracks of this score, ripped from rare “Music Collection” CDs released only in Japan in 1995. These were the first Dragon Ball movies to receive a U
Unlike Vegito (the Potara earring fusion who debuted later in the anime), Gogeta's design features the traditional black-and-gold Metamoran vest, white pants, and a teal sash.
