Dragon Ball Z: Bojack Unbound, originally known in Japan as Dragon Ball Z: Ginga Giri-Giri!! Butchigiri no Sugoi Yatsu (ドラゴンボールZ 銀河ギリギリ!!ぶっちぎりの凄い奴, Doragon Bōru Zetto Ginga Giri-Giri!! Butchigiri no Sugoi Yatsu^?, lit. "Dragon Ball Z: Milky Way at the Brink!! The Super Incredible Guy"), is the ninth Dragon Ball Z movie. It was released in Japan on July 10th, 1993 between episodes 192 and 193. The Engish version was dubbed by FUNimation. It was the last movie for voice actor of Muten-Rôshi (Kōhei Miyauchi), who died 2 years later.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

"Many years have passed since Bojack was imprisoned in the heart of a star by the Kais as punishment for his despicable ways. But an unforeseen event broke Bojack free of his stellar lock down. Now he is back to avenge himself and to continue his ultimate desire...subjugating the entire Universe! His first task? Take over the interstellar martial arts tournament and take out Earth's top fighters."

Bojack is the main villain in the 9th Dragon Ball Z movie. As stated above, his goal is to conquer the universe and destroy all those that stand in his way. According to North Kaio, he was sealed by all four Kaios in a star, but when Goku teleported the devoluted, ready-to-self-explode Cell to North Kaio's planet, killing him and Goku at the same time, the seal broke, allowing Bojack to be freed.

Having another Tenka-ichi Budōkai funded by Mr. X.S. Cash for his son's birthday, Mr. Satan invites everyone on Earth to a competition on a remote island. The Z Fighters all go except Vegeta, and Goku - who is still dead with North Kaio - wishes he could compete as they watched the competition with a television. After the elimination rounds, the winners, Gohan, Future Trunks, Kuririn (Yamcha fell in the water while he was resting, Tenshinhan lost to Trunks, and Piccolo gives up the match with Kuririn) and an ordinary fighter reach the final where Mr. Satan's students are dressed as aliens (or so it seems) and are to serve as foes for the warriors. However, Bojack and his four men have changed things in secret. They take over the tournament and battle with the Z Fighters. Kuririn, Yamcha, and Tenshinhan are down in a few hits and the ordinary fighter is killed. Vegeta eventually comes to help out, bringing Trunks' sword as well. Trunks kills Kogu but is down by a kick from Bojack himself. Only Gohan has the power to struggle against them, but Bojack is so powerful that Gohan is almost killed. After all seems lost, Goku's words of encouragement give Gohan the power he needs to stand up to Bojack and his men.

Gohan once again transforms into Super Saiyajin 2 and unleashes a power that the earth quakes, the sea roars and Bojack takes back in fear. Gohan beats Bido and Bujin each in one hit, and stamps his fist into Bojack's stomach out of his back. As a last duel, Bojack conjures his Galactic Buster attack and Gohan conjures a Kamehameha. The energies clash together and in the blinding light Bojack is killed.
