We are back in heaven, during the Budoukai held by Dai-Kaiou to
determine who the greatest dead heroic fighter is. The four Kaiou's
quarrel over who has the best student, and the final round is about to
start, between North Kaiou's Son Gokou, and West Kaiou's Paikuu-han.
Both fighters want to win cleanly, and they begin sparring. Meanwhile,
Enma Daioh (Heaven's Gatekeeper) is being harsher than normal, sending
many, many souls to hell for one reason or another (the ones going to
heaven get to ride Ten Airlines, while the ones going to Hell get to
pass through a "Spritz Cleaner" machine that removes all the evil from
them. Once cleansed, the evil souls have their memories removed, and
are reincarnated to try again).  Psych Oni, the demon tending the Spritz
Cleaner, is too busy dancing to his walkman tape to notice that the
Cleaner is running in the red.  The Cleaner regulator explodes, and all
of the concentrated evil escapes. Psych Oni tries to contain the mess
before tearfully reporting to Enma Daioh. At this point, the
concentrated evil covering Psych takes effect, turning the boy into a
giant yellow squeeze toy named Janenba. Janenba immediately encases
Enma's Gate House in a magic crystal, and it then amuses itself by
twisting the fabric of space for a while.
   With Enma trapped, the dead residing in Hell can escape and roam
around on Earth.  Gohan and Videl set out to combat the dead, while
Goten and Trunks search for the Dragon Balls to set everything right
again. Gohan gets to confront Freeza again, and very quickly destroys
the monster. All of the other supporting villians from the previous DBZ
movies also surface, only to be dispatched by the Great Saiyaman team.
Shenlong is summoned, but the Dragon God has to admit that it has no
jurisdiction over the dead, and it can't fix the problem involving Enma.
So, Goten and Trunks spend the movie fighting the endless masses of
Hitler's zombie armies. (Satan is also dispatching zombies easily, but
he's upset that there's no TV crew around to broadcast his exploits; he
plans on calling in a report to the TV station later.)
   Dai Kaiou suspends the Budoukai to let Paikuu-han and Gokou run off
to Enma's Gate House to resolve the problem. At first, they try to play
with Janenba, until Gokou starts getting mad. Unfortunately, Janenba
can do transdimensional tricks, and it punches one way, only to have his
fist appear elsewhere to blindside Gokou. Paikuu-han is told by
Dai-Kaiou to try to free Enma (eventually, Paikuu realizes that by
swearing and insulting people, he can make the magic crystal crack and
flake off.) Janenba can also make copies of itself, as well as warping
Gokou so that the hero will appear in front of his own Kamehameha.
Gokou switches up to SSJ3 and pummels Janenba. The creature melts,
only to turn into the next-stage version -- Changed Janenba.  Janenba
now uses a series of warp tricks ala "Total Recall", and trashes the
SSJ3 Gokou.
   Gokou escapes deeper into Hell, first hiding in the Pool of Blood;
then he gets rescued by the dead Vegeta.  (Vegeta reminds Gokou that
only Vegeta has the right to destroy Gokou.)  Vegeta powers up to SSJ2,
attacks Janenba, and also gets trashed. Vegeta's body flies towards the
Mountain of Needles, and is caught by Gokou. Gokou tries to get Vegeta
to do Fusion with him, but the Saiyan Prince would rather die first (Gokou
points out that Vegeta  is already dead.) Vegeta's pride is tearing him
up, and Janenba attacks the mountain, causing Gokou to grab Vegeta's
shoulder and teleporting them both to a safe zone. Vegeta relents, and
Gokou shows him the Fusion pose. Vegeta is appalled at the idea of
having to do something so stupid. But, there is no time left, so the
two of them perform Fusion Waza (Fusion Dance).
   Vegeta forgets to extend his right forefinger, and the resulting Fat
Gogeta attracts Janenba's attention. The ensuing battle is plain
slapstick (Fat Gogeta's only successful attack is a series of foul-smelling
farts.) At the last moment, just as Janenba is going to destroy Fat Gogeta,
the Fusion wears off (it took 30 minutes) and the two Saiyans run away
again. Kaiou (West Kaiou was receiving a lot of abuse from his siblings
for having such a useless student) telepaths out that Vegeta botched
the pose. So, they try again. And are interrupted by Janenba.
Paikuu-han succeeds in breaking the magic crystal, and he runs to
confront Janenba to give Gokou and Vegeta more time. Janenba
apparently kills the dead Paikuu-han just as the Fusion takes hold.
   True Gogeta looks a lot like Super Saiyan Gokou, with a
Persian-style vest and baggy pants. On Earth, Goten and Trunks sense
the energy levels of their fathers, and the two boys also do Fusion to
become Gotenks (Gotenks uses Kamikaze Ghost Attack to create 100
exploding ghosts to destroy Hitler's armies.) Gogeta punches Janenba
up a bit before hitting the monster with a special energy ball. The
ball blows up in the monster's chest, and all of the evil within it
dissipates. Psych returns to normal, takes one look at Gogeta, and
runs away screaming.
   Enma is back in charge, and the dead all return to Hell (including
Vegeta. Vegeta says that he never wants to Fuse again.) Goten and
Trunks promise each other to not tell Gohan and Videl who it was that
saved them all; Gohan and Videl chase the boys to get answers from
them.  In the last panel, Shenlong asks if this means that no one is
going to ask him for a wish.

                                  Characters
Paikuu-han -- A "Frog". A good-guy fighter created for the TV series
              to kill time. Ignorable.
Psych Oni  -- Probably means "Psychedelic", or "work".  A teenaged
              red-skinned demon boy who tends the Spritz Cleaner.
              Wears a skull jacket, striped pants, and a walkman.
Janenba    -- Probably means "a place of evil." At first, this is
              a big yellow goofball that hurts stuff for fun. After
              its transformation, it becomes a human-sized Lucifer-
              type Master of Hell. Uses magic, and a magical sword.
              Created when Psych was dowsed with concentrated evil.
              After Gogeta defeats it, Psych recovers, and runs
              away to disappear from sight forever.

Comment -- This is probably one of the more lame DBZ movies, where
           the set-up takes 55 minutes, and the final climax takes
           only 30 seconds.  Note that the "Other World" Budoukai
           never happened in the manga, and was only created by some
           TV scriptwriter to let the manga story get a few months
           ahead of the TV series.
