Dragonball Z Saiyan Saga About the first four episodes of Dragonball Z have to do with the arrival of Goku's brother, Raditz. Goku, who has grown up on the earth his whole life, is unaware of his alien heritage. Raditz informs a much surprised Goku, that he is part of a warrior race known as Saiyans. The Saiyans use their extraordinary powers to take over planets and then sell them to the highest bidder. When Goku refuses to join his brother, Raditz becomes impatient and kidnaps Gohan (Goku's young son). Goku tries to stop him put Raditz knock the wind out of him and takes off with Gohan. Things look bad, since Goku is the Earth's strongest fighter.
Despite the bleak outlook, Goku decides to fight Raditz. Just before he takes off, Piccolo arrives. Piccolo is from the planet Namek, but has been Goku's rival for some time now. Putting aside thier differences, Piccolo and Goku join forces to eliminate the bigger threat - Raditz. Goku and Piccolo are very equal in power, and together they form the world's strongest team.
Despite their pooled efforts, Piccolo and Goku find Raditz to be stronger. It could all be over... but wait... Gohan reveals his true power! The four year old boy attacks Raditz upon seeing his father suffering. The blow weakens Raditz enough to allow Goku to hold Raditz, while Piccolo charges up a special attack. The attack kills Raditz, but takes Goku down also.
Raditz lies dying on the ground, as Piccolo informs him of earth's Dragonballs. He tells Raditz that Goku's friends will certainly gather all seven balls and summon the Eternal Dragon. Their wish, granted by the Eternal Dragon, will resurrect Goku. Raditz informs Piccolo that his device he uses to sense powerlevels is also a transmitter. Everything Piccolo just said was heard by the other Saiyans. Raditz tells them that they have one year before the other Saiyans arrive... and the others are much stronger... Shocked, Piccolo finishes Raditz off and then joins Goku's friends, who have just arrived and are gathered around their fallen comrade. Goku tells them to take care of Gohan, and that he'll be back. Then Goku dies...
However, the earth's protector Kami, having heard about the coming of the Saiyans, takes Goku to King Yama. King Yama decides what happens to everyone that dies.
Kami tells King Yama of the earth's predicament, and asks him to allow Goku to travel the dangerous Snake Way and seek the training of the legendary King Kai. This roughly marks the end of the first four episodes of Dragonball Z.
The next 11 or so episodes encompass Goku's journey to King Kai's, The other Z fighters (Goku's friends) training for the arrival of the Saiyans, and Gohan's special training with Piccolo. The Z team includes: Krillin, who is a short monk who became Goku's best friend in Dragonball; Tien, the 3-eyed man who is another close friend of Goku's which he met in the original Dragonball series; Chaozu the short pale skinned friend of Tien; and of course Yamcha, who used to be Bulma's boyfriend. They have one year to prepare for the arrival of the Saiyans. They train at Kami's lookout, and at one point are taken on a mental combat simulation (sort of virtual reality). It is here that the four Z-fighters square off against two Saiyans. The Saiyans crush the Z-fighters in the simulation. Kami thought that it would be good to show the Z-fighters the startling reality of the Saiyan's strength. When the exercise is finished, the Z-fighters are informed that the Saiyans approaching earth are twice as strong as those in the simulation. The Z-fighters vow to train vigorously for the inevitable arrival of these super-powerful beings.
As the Z-fighters train up on Kami's lookout, Piccolo trains Gohan. He must turn Gohan from a crying four year-old boy to a warrior, and he only has one year to do it. After seeing Gohan's true power in the fight with Raditz, Piccolo feels Gohan will be a big asset when the other Saiyans arrive. Gohan must endure wilderness survival training and sparing with Piccolo, as he matures a great deal. Piccolo and Gohan eventually grow quite fond of eachother, as a sort of teacher-student bond forms between them. During this period Gohan is also subjected to the moonlight which triggers the transformation into a "Were-monkey." Piccolo must destroy the moon in order to save the planet!
While all this is going on, Goku must use caution as he travels down the ten thousand mile "Snake Road" (Snake Way). Along the way he must find an escape from the "Home for Infinite Losers" (basically Hell) and fight off the temptations of the Snake Princess. Eventually he makes it to King Kai's, who is a rather odd fellow. King Kai's first task for Goku is to catch Bubbles, his pet monkey. Not an easy task, as the gravity on King Kai's planet is ten times that of earth's.
It takes Goku three weeks to finally catch Bubbles. His next task is to use an extremely heavy mallet, and try and hit King Kai's other companion, Gregory (who happens to be a cricket). Finally, King Kai teaches Goku the art of Kaioken, as well as how to form a "Spirit Bomb." Time is running out however...
Finally, the Saiyans arrive... Nappa the larger bald one and Vegita the smaller Saiyan, who plays a major role in DBZ from here on out. I won't go into too much detail on the fight. They demand to know where the Dragonballs are.. but earth's special forces showed up to fight not to give in to their demands.. and so the battle begins.
Basically, the Saiyans arrive and are way more powerful than the Z-team (even with Gohan and Piccolo). First Nappa releases these plant like creatures known as Saibamen. Each Saibaman has a powerlevel equal to that of Raditz (1200). Yamcha is killed in the battle with the Saibamen, but everyone else survives. Then Nappa joins the fray, and the warriors learn that an Elite Saiyan is very tough. Everyone dies, (including Piccolo who sacrifices himself to save Gohan) except Gohan and Krillin. Gohan and Krillin are about toast when Goku returns. Goku immediately beats the crap out of Nappa, who is promptly killed by Vegita for his failure. Then Gohan and Krillin leave in fear of becoming hinderances in the upcoming battle. Next is the fantastic finish to the "Vegita Saga," which pits Goku against his strongest opponent yet, VEGITA! Vegita is unimpressed by Goku's Kaioken attack, so Goku tries a double and still isn't good enough to compete. Pushing his body to the limit Goku attempts a Kaioken X3! His power level increases at a tremendous rate, and as he engages Vegita again, he proves to be too quick for the Saiyan Prince. Vegita can't understand how Goku increased his powerlevel so much in just one year. Angry and frustrated, he decides to just blow earth up entirely. He flies high above Goku and starts to charge up his Gamit Gun. A tired Goku has no choice but to gather his strength, and charge up a Kamehameha. Vegita: "Let's see what you have Kakarot! GAMIT GUN, FIRE!!" Goku counters it with his Kamehameha, and neither beam is winning. They are equally as strong.. until Goku pushes himself to an incredible Kaioken X4 and overpowers Vegita's attack. Vegita is so pissed now! He realizes that the only way to win is to use artificial moonlight to transform himself. All Saiyans (who have a tail) have the ability to transform at a full moon into their "Weremonkey state." In his transformed state, Vegita proves to be too much for Goku. He is about to finish Goku, when Gohan, Krillin, and the coward Yajirobe intervene. Yajirobe reluctantly cuts Vegita's tail off causing Vegita to return to normal. After his fight with Goku, Vegita is not quite at full power, so Gohan is able to hold his own against. Meanwhile, Krillin receives some Spirit Bomb energy from the severely wounded Goku. Krillin throws the energy at Vegita, which initially misses it's target, but hits Vegita when Gohan bounces it back at him. The blow nearly finishes him off.. and after Gohan transforms into a Weremonkey, it's all over for Vegita (American episode #26). Krillin had the opportunity to finish Vegita, but Goku told him not to. They allow Vegita too escape, who returns half-dead to Freeza's base.
Frieza Saga The earth is safe thanks to Goku and the rest of the Z-team. Unfortunately, most of the team died in the battle with the Saiyans. There's a catch to it also. Normally, the earth's Dragonballs could be gathered to wish them back to life, right? Here's a little DBZ history. Piccolo's father and Kami used to be one being. When they split, the evil side of Kami became Piccolo's father (Piccolo-Daimaou). Daimaou has since died, but not before he had an offspring, Piccolo. Piccolo and Kami are still related so that when Piccolo died in the battle with the Saiyans, Kami died with him. Oh! I almost forgot... The Dragonballs disappear when Kami dies, seeing as he created them. On the bright side, the team learns that other Dragonballs exist on Namek (Piccolo's homeworld).
When Nappa's spacepod gets destroyed, Mr. Popo shows Bulma how to operate the ship that Piccolo came to earth in a long time ago. But who's going to go to Namek? Goku's physical body was damaged so severely in the battle with Vegita, he is be unable to go. Krillin and Gohan (despite protests from Chi Chi) accompany Bulma.
After a few tight spots on the way to Namek, they arrive. In the meantime, Vegita has recovered at Freeza's base! He learns that Freeza is on Namek and already in search of the Dragonballs. Vegita becomes furious and rushes off to Namek to gather the balls for himself. This is the introduction of Freeza, the strongest known warrior in the universe (at this time). Vegita, Nappa, and Raditz were working for freeza in the Vegita Saga (although Vegita had already been thinking about overthrowing him, hence his interest in the Dragonballs). Anyway back to the story... Freeza is gathering the Dragonballs on Namek, with the aid of his "right-hand man" Zarbon and "left-hand man" Dodoria. They go from village to village killing Nameks and demanding the Dragonballs. Meanwhile, Vegita touches down on Namek and is almost immediately intercepted by Kui, another one of Freeza's henchmen. Not realizing how strong Vegita has become (because as you know Saiyans get stronger after every battle), Kui gets wasted. Gohan and Krillin also have their first battle, facing off against two of Freeza's weaker henchmen. After Freeza's goonies trash their spaceship, Gohan and Krillin open up a can of whoop ass on the losers! Miles away, these battles are being monitored by the scouters of Zarbon and Dodoria. Knowing that he is still not powerful enough to challenge Freeza, Vegita must get the Dragonballs. As he plans his next move, a village close to Gohan and Krillin's location falls under attack. The Nameks fight well, until Dodoria joins the fray. As Dodoria moves in to attack a young Namek boy, Gohan can't control his anger anymore and intervenes. Gohan and Krillin rescue the boy, but are followed by an angry Dodoria. By the way, this is the introduction of Dende, who will grow up and eventually take Kami's place to watch over the Earth. Back to the Story- Gohan, Krillin, and Dende narrowly escape, and on the way back to Freeza, Dodoria runs into Vegita. Knowing Vegita is stronger than him Dodoria bargains for his life. Dodoria tells Vegita that it was actually Freeza that destroyed Planet Vegita (the Saiyan's homeworld), and not a meteor shower. Vegita finds this interesting, but kills Dodoria anyway.
Zarbon is next to try, as he eventually tracks down Vegita, and reveals the ugly side of himself. Vegita is beaten to a pulp and taken to Freeza's base on Namek, to heal so he can answer for his treason. Unknown to Freeza and Zarbon, Vegita awakens while in his recovery chamber and manages to steal the Dragonball's that Freeza has gathered. Enraged, Freeza gives Zarbon a one hour ultimatum to get Vegita and the Dragonballs. However, Freeza recognizes that this is already getting out of control and summons the Ginyu Force. The Ginyu Force is his most elite fighting squad... and they are coming...
While this is going on Krillin and Gohan befriend the young Namek boy, Dende. takes Krillin to go see the eldest Namek, Guru. They get to Guru's and find Nail watching over Guru. Nail is the strongest of the Namekian warriors. Guru reveals some history about Piccolo, and then uses his power to awaken the hidden potential in Krillin. Amazed, Krillin feels twice as strong, and tells the eldest Namek that he will not let the Dragonballs fall into the wrong hands. Satisfied with Krillin's good intentions, Guru gives him the One-Star Dragonball. Krillin leaves Dende at Guru's place, and returns to Bulma and Gohan with his Dragonball.
You're probably wondering what happened to Goku, our hero? And what of the Z-fighters who died on Earth. Well, Piccolo and the other Z-fighters end up making it down Snake Way and they start training with King Kai, just like Goku did. Goku in the meantime finally fully recovers, after he receives some Senzu beans (magical beans from Korin's Tower). To the protests of Chi Chi he leaves in a hurry to catch up with the others on Namek. Dr. Briefs (Bulma's dad and a real technical wiz) has already constructed a spaceship for Goku to travel to Namek. Goku blasts off for Namek hoping he has not missed any action.
During his six day journey Goku knows he must be in peak physical condition, so he trains in an artificial gravity machine that can be adjusted to different intensities. He starts of 10x gravity and after he has grown accustomed to it increases the granvity to 20x that of Earth's. He has a close encounter with a star as its gravity was pulling Goku's ship towards it. Using Kaioken and a Kamehameha he escapes this fate. Later, disaster strikes, as Goku's ship gets caught in an interstellar storm, causing the gravity machine to go crazy. After it gets stuck at 100x normal gravity, Goku must summon up every last ounce of strength just to hit the "off" switch! He succeeds, but then gets determined to train in such a harsh environment. During his trip, Goku's grueling training wears him down and he uses Senzu beans to recover his strength. Talk about beefin' in just 6 days!
Back on Namek, Zarbon has one hour to resolve this mess, because Freeza's getting pissed! He spots Vegita, who is actually in pursuit of Krillin (returning from Guru's with a Dragonball). Krillin goes to were Bulma has been hiding and learns that Gohan has gone to track down another Dragonball. All of a sudden Vegita Arrives! He demands Krillin's Dragonball... but right behind him is Zarbon. And thus the second battle between these 2 begins. Vegita is stronger after recovering from their first bout, and succeeds in sending Zarbon to the next dimension (kills him). He then threatens to hurt Bulma if Krillin doesn't give him the Dragonball! Reluctantly, Krillin is forced to comply (not like he could have defended the Dragonball anyway!).
At this point, Vegita thinks he has all the Dragonballs. This one just taken from Krillin, the 5 stolen from Freeza's ship, and one that he took from a Namekian village earlier (which he hid in a lake). He is unaware that Gohan has used Bulma's Dragonball radar to track down the one hidden in the lake. However, on the way back to Bulma and Krillin, Gohan runs into Vegita. Gohan senses him coming and has time to hide himself and the Dragonball. Vegita can also sense something and demands for Gohan to show himself. Gohan comes out and talks to Vegita. Vegita sees that Gohan is holding the Dragonball radar, but doesn't know what it is. When he asks Gohan what it is, Gohan tells him that it is an antique watch. Growing tired, Vegita cheapshots Gohan and takes off. Dazed, Gohan is merely happy that Vegita did not see his Dragonball... and he returns to Bulma and Krillin's location.
Upon returning to the lake, it becomes apparent to Vegita what has happened. He realizes that the Device Gohan had was not just an antique watch. He get super pissed and blasts off to get his revenge! Meanwhile, Gohan returns with the Dragonball and Krillin decides to take Gohan to Guru's place, in order to awaken his hidden powers. Bulma is left with the Dragonball, which is probably a mistake. She loses it in a lake and has to recover it with a Capsole Corp. submarine. Anyway it's not that important.
Gohan and Krillin are almost to Guru's place, when they sense Vegita following. Krillin tells Gohan to hurry up and see Guru, while he attempts to stall Vegita. Vegita confronts Krillin and quickly realizes where Gohan is. He speeds off and Krillin flies after him. They arrive at Guru's and Nail comes out and tells Vegita to "go home." Just as Vegita demands to see what's going on inside, Gohan emerges. Vegita threatens Gohan, in order to learn the whereabouts of the other Dragonball. Before the situation climaxes anymore, Dende informs them that Guru senses a super powerful evil force approaching the planet. They all sense it, and Vegita realizes that it must be the Ginyu Force. They don't have much time...
Vegita tells our heros that each member of the Ginyu Force is as strong as he is, and the only way that they will survive is to wish him immortal. Not liking the sound of this, Krillin and Gohan fear they might have no choice. They join Vegita and rush back to where Bulma has the other Dragonball. Then they proceed to where Vegita has stashed the 6 balls which he has gathered. After a short arguement on who should get to be immortal, they are immediately confronted by the Ginyu Force!
Vegita, Krillin, and Gohan know they are in trouble! A little about the Ginyu Force... There are 5 members: Captain Ginyu, Recoom, Guldo, Jeese, and Burter. They are Freeza's most elite squad, really never have lost a fight, and oh yeah..they are completely nut's. Catain Ginyu was chosen to lead the squad, by King Cold himself (Freeza's dad) because of his body change technique. It is the Captain that does most of the talking at first, and demands that Vegita give them the Dragonballs. At this point 5 are lying on the ground, Vegita is holding one, and Krillin the other. Vegtia tries to get rid off the Dragonball he is holding, by throwing it way out towards the horizon. However, they are all left in slow-motion, as Burter catches up to it with his super speed. Vegita then screams at Krillin, ording him to quickly destroy the other Dragonball. As Krillin raises his fist, the Dragonball suddenly disappears from his hand. The short 4-eyed Guldo has used his ability to control time to take it away from him. Krillin and Gohan can't believe what they are seeing, and get scarred. Vegita is not amused.
Captain Ginyu gathers up the Dragonballs, and takes off to deliver them to Freeza. Vegita, Krillin, and Gohan are left to take on the remaining members of the Ginyu Force. Guldo goes first, and prepares to take on Krillin and Gohan, who begin to power up. They fly up into the air simultaneously showing off their increased power. Guldo freezes time for a moment (by holding his breath) and runs for cover. The battle continues; Guldo is out of shape, and getting overwhelmed by Krillin and Gohan. Then he gets mad and summons up all his strength and uses his mind freeze technique on the heros. Krillin and Gohan are now stuck in mid-air, and can't move! Guldo now flies up to them and beats them up a little. He then uses a sort of telekinisis and grabs a tree, which he plans to spear Gohan and Krillin with. He forms it into a stake and sends it flying straights for Krillin! Suddenly, a beam slices through Guldo's neck and he falls to the ground. Vegita drops down next to him and laughs. Taking such a critical shot, Guldo looses his control of the mind freeze. Krillin is free and dodges the tree with who knows how many of hundreths of a second less. Vegita then blasts Guldo and finishes him.
Gohan and Krillin are grateful to Vegita. Vegita just tells them he had an old score to settle with Guldo, and that he was not trying to save them. On the otherside, Recoom, Burter, and Jeese are enraged about Guldo's death (not really that they care about him, but now their group pose will be different without him). Recoom now steps forward to take Vegita on. The huge orange-haired titan announces the start of the fight, and does a silly dance and pose. Growing tired of their insanity, Vegita begins to power-up! Energy swirls around him and everyone is shocked by how high his powerlevel has gotten. But is it any match for the Ginyu Force?
Vegita attacks Recoom and is winning and even uses his "Final Flash" technique. There is a huge explosion and it looks like the fight is over. However, as the smoke clears, the huge Ginyu is still standing. What is even more amazing, is that he has hardly been scratched by the devasting attack! Recoom decides it is his turn, and after another exchange of blows, Vegita finds himself buried in the ground. Exhausted and injured, the Saiyan Prince might be out of his 9 lives. Wait, Gohan and Krillin join the battle, and save Vegita!
As Recoom attacks Vegita with a flame attack eminating from his mouth Krillin kicks him in the back of the head (which shuts his mouth in the middle of the attack), Gohan pulls Vegita out of harms way. Vegita is ungrateful to Gohan and a now toothless Recoom announces that he has had enough. He quickly takes Krillin out in one kick. With Vegita and Krillin down and out, Gohan must bare the load. And a heavy one it is, as Recoom blows poor Gohan out of the water!
Meanwhile, Freeza has gathered all the Dragonballs and attempts to make his wish. It doesn't work! Freeza figures with must be some special words you say or something that he is not doing right. He picks up Nail, Dende, and Guru on his scouter and rushes off to find the secret. He leaves Captain GInyu to look after the Dragonballs while he is gone. Captain Ginyu holds try-outs for the Ginyu Force while he watches over the Dragonballs. He ends up killing all the contestants.
While the Ginyu try-outs are not going good for Freeza's goons, the fight against Recoom is hopeless. Gohan eventually goes down and it looks like it's all over... but WAIT! Who's spaceship is that touching down a couple miles away? GOKU FINALLY ARRIVES on Namek! As usual he arrives right as the team is about to be annihilated. Goku uses Senzu beans to heal Gohan and Krillin. Gohan was almost dead, and the Ginyu are amazed at the fact they have suddenly been restored to health. Goku reads Krillin's mind, to find out what happened during his absence ("apparently training at 100x normal gravity has extra benefits"). Then he gives Vegita a Senzu bean as a reward for saving Krillin and Gohan from Guldo. Next he confronts Recoom!
He displays blinding speed, and takes Recoom out, with a simple elbow to the Sternum! Nobody can believe it... Jeese and Burter attack Goku now! Goku dodges their attacks with ease. Goku can hide his powerlevel from scouters, but Vegita senses his enormous ki. He can feel Goku's power, and it is nuts! He thinks that Goku has become a legendary Super Saiyan! Read on...
After undergoing his transformation to his fourth and final form, Freeza killed Vegeta for stating about the Super Saiya-jin to Goku. (Note: Freeza feared the Super Saiya-jin legend.) Goku executed a Genki Dama (Spirit Ball) desperately at Freeza, but an injured Freeza killed Kuririn out of rage. This triggered the anger Goku to transform to a Super Saiya-jin. An intense battle has developed, risking the destruction of Namek. Super Saiya-jin Goku was defeating Freeza, becoming stronger every minute. With his last strength, Freeza triggered the planet to blow up in five minutes and threw Kienzan-like fireballs at him but accidentally got cut in the process. Goku gave Freeza some of his energy to save his live and to fight more but had to kill him rapidly and escape. Goku tried to start Freeza's spaceship but failed as the planet exploded. Bulma, Piccolo, Gohan, Vegeta, and the Namekians traveled back to earth with the Namek dragon balls. (Note: The Namekians were revived with the Earth dragon balls. Porunga revived Kuririn but was unable to revive Goku. It seemed that Goku survived the explosion and was training on another planet, learning the Shunkanidou in the process. Vegeta decided to train in space, and everything was safe on Earth for now. One year later Freeza is put back together in a robotic form by his father, King Cold. They arrive on Earth with an army, all hope is lost by the Z warriors, even Vegeta thinks so when he was revived by the DragonBalls. Suddenly, a teenager comes out of nowhere, beats the crap out of Freeza. Not only that, he is a Saiyan! Turing Super Saiyan, he kills Freeza and King Cold with his sword easily. All he says is that he is waiting for Son Goku, then Son Goku appears out of nowhere. Son Goku tells of his troubles and also demonstrates his new teleportation technique. The teenager says that his name is Trunks. He is also the son of Bulma and Vegeta! He is from the future and comes back in time to warn the Z warriors of androids that will terrorize the world in three years. Trunks also says that Son Goku will die from a heart disease. Trunks though has brought medicine for him. Trunks says that he will come back in three years to fight the androids. Now the Z warriors must train for the androids arriving in three years.
Cell Saga Three years passed since Trunks' arrival. A lot has changed since then, Trunks from the future is now called Miari Trunks since Chibi Trunks is born, and Vegeta joins the Z warriors, but having the same attitude. Miari Trunks arrives from the future to find that there is another android, Android #16. The androids in Miari Trunks' timeline are #17 and #18. Also the creator, Dr. Gero, turns himself into Android #21. He is easily defeated by Vegeta who learns how to turn Super Saiyan during his training. Right before he dies, he issues the final command for Android #22 (Cell). Cell is made of single cells from the strongest warriors in the univerese. Cell breaks out of his test tube and seeks to absorb #17 and #18. When Cell finally absorbs the androids, he turns into Perfect Cell. No one can offer a challange so he starts thinking of all the fights as games (Thus somes the title, Cell Game). Cell later announces that he will hold a tournament to the warriors that think they can defeat him. The tournament begins. First, a fighter from Earth, who is really a coward that takes all the credit and is really weak, Mr. Satan. He gets defeated easily by on slap from Cell. Then, Son Gokou fights with Cell, the battle ends with the winner Son Gokou. But Cell gets so mad that he self-destructs and blow up the whole Solar System. Gokou quickly teleports him and himself to a safe distance, like Kaiosama's Planet. He blows up killing both Gokou and Kaiosama. Everyone was sad, but the battle wasn't over yet, Cell somehow regenerated from just one cell from his body, and decides to take Gohan as his next challenger. He tries to piss off Gohan so that he will be more challenging. The plan works when he creates seven Cell Jrs who kills his friends. And he kills #16 with a surpise attack. Gohan gets pushed off the edge and powers up and reaches SSJ2, then Cell realizes that he over did it. Gohan defeats the Cell Jrs with just one kick to each of them. Son Gohan starts to attack Cell. As the battle goes on, Gohan's right arm gets crippled. He creates a Kamehameha, Cell than creates his own Kamehameha, a stalement is drawn only with the encouragement of his dead father. Son Gohan over powers Cell and kills him with only one arm! Everyone is wished back to life except Son Gokou because he was already wished back to life once. But Gokou was proud of his son and watched over him in the heavens, while King Kaiosama kept on yelling at Gokou for bringing Cell to his planet. Miari Trunks later returns to his own time.
Buu Saga Seven years pass since the Cell Game. Krillan marries #18 (who was wished to human by the DragonBalls) and has a daughter named Marron. Chi-Chi has a seconded son named Son Goten, Son Goten and Trunks (Chibi) turned SSJ at an early age. Son Gohan has a girl friend named Videl, the daughter of Satan ( Satan takes all the credit for killing Cell, this got him really famous ), Son Gohan is also a superhero named the Great SaiyanMan. During The Tenkaichu-Boudoukai, Son Gokou is granted a single day of life to meet with Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Chi-Chi, and all the Z warriors, including Vegeta. Two of Buu's slaves steal Son Gohan's energy, then a man named Kaiosen revives Son Gohan, he than tells of a evil demon named Buu trying to destroy the Earth. If Buu's slaves gather enougth energy, he will be revived. Vegeta learning that he can become stronger by turning into Buu's slave, Vegeta turns evil again, this time he is Majin Vegeta and can turn to SSJ2. This gives Buu enough energy to be revived. Gokou then learns to turn to SSJ2 and fights him and convinces him that good always triumphs over evil. Vegeta finally realizes and self-destructs in hope to kill Buu. Son Gokou than heads to battle aganist Buu. Son Gokou than turns SSJ2,and SSJ3! But he still can't defeat Buu. Later, Son Gohan heads to the Kaoiu-sin's planet for training. Then before Son Gokou's time is up on Earth he teaches Son Goten and Trunks the fusion technique, then they get trained by Piccolo so they can be strong enougth to beat Buu. Soon after Son Goten and Trunks fuse to become Gotenks, later Gotenks turns SSJ1, and then, SSJ3! But Buu has made a twin of himself, but he is a lot more evil than Buu, he even absorbed Buu and thus turning him into Super Buu. Gotenks is defeating Super Buu, but Gotenks is an inexperienced and careless fighter. Buu absorbs Gotenks and becomes a lot stronger, then absorbs Piccolo. Dia Kaoiusin then sacrifices his life so Son Gokou can live. Gokou then gets a pair of Potara Earrings for fusion, this way the fused person won't diffuse in 30 min. Son Gokou now alive teleports to the battle. Then King Yama grants Vegeta life to fight Buu. When Son Gokou arrives to the scene he tells Son Gohan to fuse with him, Son Gokou than throws a fusion earing at Son Gohan. Son Gohan drops the earing and Buu absorbs Son Gohan, thus turning himself into Ultimate Buu. Then Vegeta comes to the scene. Vegeta then fuses with Son Gokou to become, Vegetto. Vegetto defeats Buu but purposely gets absorbed to rescue their friends. This somehow wears off the permenent fusion. They rescue Son Goten, Son Gohan, Trunks, Piccolo, and Fat Buu through Ultimate Buu's pores. All of the energy that Buu has taken restores him back to his normal form, Majin Buu. Then he destroys the Earth. Kaoiu-sin teleports to help Son Gokou teleport Vegeta, Satan, his dog, and Dende to Kaoiu-sin's planet. Vegeta gets angry gecause he rescude them instead of his son and the rest of the Z fighters. Son Gokou was speechless. But there wasn't any time for that, Majin Buu also teleports to the planet Gokou's on, and start to fight. Then Son Gokou starts to get beaten up badly. Vegeta jumps into battle so Son Goku can create a Genki-Dami.The Namek DragonBalls are gathered to wish back the Earth and to wish back everyone killed by Buu. The third wish is stored for later use. Son Gokou's Genki-Dami (Energy given by the Nameks, the people in the Heavens, and everyone on Earth) is ready to throw, Son Gokou throws it, and Buu pushes it back. Vegeta tells Dende to wish back all of Son Goku's strength back. Now with all his strength restored Son Goku, he throws back the Genki- Dami at Buu. Buu can't counter it any longer, so he is killed. Ten years after the battle aganist Majin Buu, Fat Buu is revived into a evil cleansed form called Uboo. Son Gokou decides to train him since he has great potential. Son Gohan and Vidal get married and have a daughter named Pan. This concludes DragonBall Z.
Dragonball GT Bebi Saga Ten years after the end of DragonBall Z, Son Gokou gets turned into a child again by a wish Pilaf made. The only way Son Gokou can get back in his normal state is by finding the Black Star DragonBalls scattered across space.Son Gokou, Pan , and Trunks go on journeys battling minor villans. At one planet, the DragonBall gang stumbles across Baby. Baby sneaks on board and lands on Earth. Baby takes over bodies in hope of finding a good host. Baby first uses Goten and Gohan as hosts, but he finally finds the most powerful host, it is Vegeta! Vegeta now turns into Bebi-Vegeta. A great battle between Son Gokou and Vegeta begins. It turns out Son Gokou is no match for Bebi-Vegeta. Then Kaiousin pulls out Son Gokou's tail, hoping he can go into Oozaru stage. It works, but Son Gokou still cannot defeat Bebi-Vegeta, who now is Super Bebi (Oozaru Bebi-Vegeta). Then something weird happens, Son Gokou takes control of his body now and transforms into SSJ4 Son Gokou! Son Gokou soon defeats Super Bebi. (Note: Babi-Vegeta can also turn to SSJ4).
Evil Shenlong Saga In hell, Dr. Gero and Myuu creates Artifical 17. Artifical 17 comes from hell to fuse with Android #17, when they fused, they became Super 17. Son Gokou gets tricked into going to hell to fight Cell and Freeza, who was already dead. Without Son Gokou, the earth is doomed. Piccolo, (who died in the Baby Saga) and Dende creates a portal so Son Gokou can get out of hell. Son Gokou later kills Super 17. When the DragonBalls are gathered to wish back the people killed in battle something goes wrong. Shenlong says that with all the negative energy the DragonBalls have restored, seven evil dragons have been formed. Each dragon poccess a DragonBall, so Son Gokou and the Z fighters go off to fight the evil dragons. When they come up agains Li, SSJ4 Son Goku fuses with SSJ4 Vegeta. Making SSJ4 Gogeta. He beats him with ease. But Gogeta's fusion span was shortened because of the 4th stage of Super Saiyan. They can only stay fused for 20 min instead of 30 min. Just when Gogeta was about to finish Li, he diffuses. But the 2 warriors eventually killed the worn out Li. When all seven dragons have been defeated, the real Shenlong appears and grants Son Gokou one wish, the wish is that everyone killed in battle agansit the dragons to be brought back to life. Shenlong tells Son Gokou to get on his back, then the seven dragonballs are absorbed into Son Gokou, and his whole body vanishes, leaving only his clothe on the ground. Seems that Son Gokou is the most powerful fighter in the universe to have the DragonBalls absorbed. This concludes the Dragon Ball Series. |
