Dragon Ball Z: Lord Slug, the ninth film in the franchise, is now available to stream on Crunchyroll with both English dub and subtitle options. Released in 1991, the movie sees Gohan and Piccolo confronting an alien warlord named Lord Slug, who arrives on Earth with his army in a spaceship disguised as a meteor.
Produced by Toei Animation, the film is set during the period between the Frieza and Cell sagas of the original Dragon Ball Z anime. It showcases the iconic characters battling a formidable foe with the fate of the planet hanging in the balance. The story focuses on Gohan's early development and his bond with Piccolo, who steps in to protect him when Goku is initially incapacitated.
While not a canonical part of the main Dragon Ball Z storyline, Lord Slug offers a classic example of the series' high-octane action and Super Saiyan-level power displays, making it a worthwhile watch for fans looking for more content from the beloved shonen series.
