Funimation is still getting these sets out for fans who don't already own the series uncut or fans who may have purchased their old sets but don't mind double dipping for these well done sets that line up so nicely on the shelf, especially alongside the orange Dragon Ball Z season sets. This 5-disc fourth 'season' set of Dragon Ball will contain the following 30 episodes from 2 sagas:
Tien Shinhan Saga
93 Tien Shinhan vs. Jacky Chun
94 Stepping Down
95 Goku vs. Krillin
96 Tail's Tale

115 Awaken Darkness
116 A Taste of Destiny
117 The Ultimate Sacrifice
118 Prelude to Vengeance
119 Battle Cry
120 Goku Strikes Back
121 The Biggest Crisis
122 Final Showdown
All these episodes are presented in remastered editions of their original full frame (4:3 Aspect Ratio) format. Audio has English or Japanese voice track options and the original Japanese musical score in 5.1 Surround. As is standard with these sets there will be no special features other than previews for other Funimation products and textless songs, so don't expect to find any here.
These episodes are where Dragon Ball begins to move toward a close, thus everything is ratcheted up. We get the World Martial Arts Tournament showdown between Goku and Tien which is pure epic Dragon Ball, then no sooner does that end and everyone start to relax before Goku must face the death of one of his closest friends. King Piccolo and his henchmen, all named after instruments, arrive on the scene and Goku faces bigger stakes than ever before. There are several deaths of key characters and we also first meet Yajirobe, who Dragon Ball Z fans will be familiar with as a comic relief coward, only here he is the slightest bit more noble and willing to help fight. Once again it will all come down to who can find the dragon balls first.
Once this set is released we're only waiting on the fifth season set to bring us the final 31 episodes. Goku and his friends will face a greater threat in the form of Piccolo Jr, the one we all know from DBZ, and thus Goku will recieve some special training from someone who will become a DBZ permanent fixture. Everyone will grow a bit older and become young adults, but poor Krillin won't grow much taller. A jaded friend from Goku's past will return to settle a score and all of this happens at another World Martial Arts Tournament. As if that's not enough there will be a wedding and one final quest before it can get underway, Goku must face his past demons. The final set is a great way to bring a close to the Dragon Ball story and bring us right back to where Dragon Ball Z begins, which is the spot most of us first came to know these wonderful characters. Thanks for your time.

Goku's headed for a showdown with a sinister green fiend!
A new breed of evil - more powerful than anything ever experienced - is taking the world's greatest martial artists down for the count. Goku is quick to join the fight, but he's about to meet his match in the form of King Piccolo. This menacing monster has the power to pulverize the planet, and his murderous rampage will not stop until he controls the power of the seven magic Dragon Balls.
When Krillin is the first hero cut down by the monster's minion, the stage is set for a brutal grudge match between Goku and Piccolo. Earth's greatest champion vows to avenge the loss of his best friend, but first, he must journey to Korin Tower on a quest for the Ultra Divine Water: a magical elixir that could give him the strength to save humanity - or send him straight to the grave!
