In this video I breakdown the song that plays in episode 184 of Dragon Ball Z when Gohan turns Super Saiyan 2 during his fight with Cell. The song is called “Unmei no Hi Tamashii vs Tamashii” (運命の日 魂ｖｓ魂）. I talk about:
- When it was released
- Why the team taht produced it may not have known it would be used during the scene where Gohan turns Super Saiyan 2
- How the intro includes a quote from the New Testament portion of the bible (Mark 1:15)
- How the song refers to Gohan and company as “messiahs”
- The possible meaning and Hebrew origins of “YUDULIYA-VELE YUDULIYA-VELE / YUDULIYA-VELE / YUDULIYA IYALIYA
- How “Unmei no Hi” seems to make references to Cell
- How “Unmei no Hi” seems to highlight Gohan’s thoughts during the moment of his SSJ2 transformation
- About Kageyama Hironobu role as the singer of “Unmei no Hi”
- How Funimation changed Gohan’s Super Saiyan 2 transformation in the English dub
- About the Bruce Faulcner score
- About the fake “laugh” that can be heard after Cell destroys Android 16
- About the monologue Funimation gave Gohan in the Funimation dub
- How the Spanish Latin American dub handled the Gohan SSJ2 scene
- How Dragon Ball Z Kai handled the SSJ2 Gohan transformation scene
- How TeamFourStar adapted the Gohan Super Saiyan 2 transformation scene in Dragon Ball Z Abridged
- About the English version of “Unmei no Hi” (Day of Fate Spirit vs Spirit) that TeamFourStar produced for episode 60, part 1 of Dragon Ball Z Abridged
