Content

Track five on Dragon Ball $d, feat. Babidi & Gokudaxij (Taylor James / J MESA and Eric Radloff). Luke wrote, played, mixed, and mastered; they sing the feature. Pure entrance music: the visual album gives Captain Ginyu his own chapter, while the LP keeps the squad intro tight. Third Babidi & Gokudaxij feature in a row after Prince of All Saiyans and Namek.

It's a roll call, one member per grunt (I am Recoome / I am Burter / I'm Jeice / Guldo! / Ginyu), the team motto snapped into syllables, then Ginyu's signature creep on the hook: snatching bodies with no sound, body-swap as silent horror. No exposition required if you watched Toonami. (Toriyama named the whole squad after refrigerated dairy, so the menace was always a little ridiculous.)

Next: Vegeta's Lament / Lord Frieza / Super Saiyan, where Nick Belcher enters on opera and the tone shifts.
