This was the beginning of Dragon Ball Z. We first saw someone leaping from tree to tree in the forest. It was Goku, getting wood for his wife, Chi-Chi, to cook. Chi-Chi asked Goku where was Gohan. Goku did not know so he went searching for him. Meanwhile, a circular spaceship crashed onto Earth. A curious farmer looked for the space pod. As the pod opened up, a large stranger, with an appearance similar to Goku but had more hair and was stronger, emerged. The scared farmer took his gun and shot him, but the alien reflected the bullet back at the farmer, killing him. The alien flew and shouted out, "KAKAROT!!!"
A little child with a strange hat that held the 4-star dragon ball was lost in the forest. This is Gohan, Goku's son. After meeting a tiger/puma, who later became his friend, he finally fell down a river on a log, shouting "DADDY!" Goku finally heard his screams and saved him.
Goku and Gohan flew to Kame-House to meet Krillin, Roshi, Bulma, and the Turtle. Suddenly, the alien arrived. He told Goku he was his brother and told him his Saiyan origin. The alien, Raditz, told him to bring 100 dead bodies by the next day or Gohan would be lost to him. Piccolo arrived suddenly, told him of his encounter with Raditz, and agreed to team up with him. Because Raditz was very strong, they would have to fight together to win.
Goku and Piccolo finally found Raditz, and the battle had begin. During the battle, Piccolo lost a limb, and Goku was seriously injured. An enraged Gohan broke out of Raditz's spacepod, which he was trapped in, and attacked Raditz. During Raditz's weaken state, Goku was able to hold him until Piccolo executed his secret attack, "MASENTA." Both Raditz and Goku was killed by the sudden attack. Before Raditz died, he told Piccolo that two stronger Saiyans will arrive in one year. Piccolo took Gohan to train with him because he knew that Gohan had great power. Goku was now in heaven. He was allowed to travel through Serpent Road to Kai's Planet to train, but he would go to HELL if he fell off. After running continuously, he got tired but was able to get a ride from a guy that was cleaning Snake Way. When the driver/cleaner was sleeping, Goku fell from the car to HELL. In order to re-enter Snake Way, Goku raced two, cool, dumb ogres. When he successfully left HELL, he had to run through Snake Way all over again but was able to regain his strength with an King Yamma's apple. After escaping from Princess Snake, he finally reached Kai's Planet.
Piccolo left Gohan in a desert alone for six months for survival training. Piccolo later returned and started training him. On Kai's planet, Goku learned to live under a gravity ten times stronger than Earth's and also learned the Kaioken and Spirit Bomb techniques. Krillin Tien, Yamcha, and Chaotzu trained with Roshi throughout the year. The Saiyans finally arrived, destroyed a city, and found Gohan and Piccolo. They wanted to kill Raditz's murderers and to get the dragon balls to wish for immortality. Yamcha got killed when one of Nappa's Saibamen self-destructed. Chaotzu and Tien sacrificed their lives to kill Nappa but failed. Piccolo died defending Gohan, a very emotional scene. During the moment, Goku was wished back by the dragon balls and ran rapidly through Snake Way back to Earth. Luckily, Goku finally arrived to save Gohan and Krillin by using Kaioken. Vegeta became angry of Nappa's attempts to kill Goku and destroyed him. The battle between Goku and Vegeta began. Vegeta gained an advantage by creating an artificial moon and transformed into Oozaru form but lost his ability when Yajirobe cowardly cut off his tail with a sword. Goku was seriously injured while fighting Vegeta and handed his Spirit Bomb to Krillin who then weakened Vegeta with it. Finally, Gohan turned into Oozaru and started beating up Vegeta. With his last amount of strength, Vegeta escaped back in his spacepod. Bulma and the others arrived to pick up Goku, Krillin, Gohan, and the bodies of their dead companions. Because of Piccolo's death, Kami also died unfortunately. Without Kami, the dragon balls was not able to exist. Krillin stated that he heard Vegeta saying that Piccolo came from the planet Namek. By using Kami's spaceship, Bulma, Krillin, and Gohan traveled to Namek, hoping that there would be more powerful dragon balls to revive their friends. The battle with Vegeta and Nappa was finally over, but Krillin, Bulma, and Gohan must now go to Planet Namek, Piccolo's and Kami's home planet, to obtain another set of dragon balls to wish their allies back. Goku was injured from the battle and was unable to go, but Krillin, Bulma, and Gohan were able to obtain the spaceship Kami used to arrive to Earth. The journey was two months long and was filled with dangers, including the Space Ark Children, Raachi and Zaakro, and finally Freeza. Freeza was the most powerful being in the universe, who had to undergo through four forms to achieve his real power. After listening to the message from the dying Radditz in the Vegeta Saga, he learned about the dragon balls and decided to pursue them himself to gain immortality. Aftering being healed by a senzu bean, Goku set off for Namek in a specially designed spaceship, training hard in 100 times gravity. Meanwhile, Piccolo, Yamcha, Tien, and Chaotzu served as King Kai's pupils. Vegeta was also healed and stronger than ever, heading for Namek for the dragon balls and the hatred for Goku in his black heart. Vegeta was able to kill Dodoria, Kiwi, and Zarbon, becoming stronger after every battle. Freeza killed all the Namekians except Nail, Dende, and Guru while Vegeta captured all the seven dragon balls . As a desperate measure, Freeza summoned The Ginyu Force, a team of five strong fighters. Even with their Ki increased by Saichoro and with Vegeta assisting them, Krillin and Gohan were losing to The Ginyu Force, allowing them to take the dragon balls to Freeza. Freeza was unable to activate the dragon balls and flew to Guru to seek out the answer. Luckily, Goku arrived to defeat Recoome, Burter, and Jeice, allowing Vegeta to kill them, including Guldo. Vegeta wondered if Goku was the legendary Super Saiyan. Captain Ginyu knew he could not surpass Goku's power so he switched bodies with Goku. The battle concluded with Goku returning to his own body and Captain Ginyu trapped in a frog's body. Gohan, Krillin, and Dende were able to obtain the dragon balls from Freeza to revive Piccolo and to bring him to Namek. Freeza killed Guru and injured Nail, interrupting Porunga from granting the third wish . An angered Freeza hurted Krillin and Gohan, but Dende had the ability to heal them. Freeza tranformed into his second form, but Piccolo merged with Nail and started beating Freeza. Freeza transfomed to his third form while Goku was recovering in Freeza's ship from the battle with The Ginyu Force.
After undergoing his transformation to his fourth and final form, Freeza killed Vegeta for stating about the legend of the Super Saiyan to Goku. Goku executed a Spirit Bomb desperately at Freeza, but an injured Freeza killed Krillin out of rage. This triggered the angered Goku to transform to a Super Saiyan. An intense battle has developed, risking the destruction of Namek. Super Saiyan 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 half in the process. Goku gave Freeza some of his energy to save his life 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. The Namekians were revived with the Earth dragon balls. Porunga revived Krillin but was unable to revive Goku. It seemed that Goku survived the explosion and was training on another planet, learning the ability to transport 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, and starts to defeat Freeza. Turning Super Saiyan, he kills Freeza and King Cold with his sword easily. All he says is that he is waiting for Goku, then Goku appears out of nowhere. 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 Goku will die from a heart disease. Trunks brought medicine for him and 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. 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.
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, Hercule. He gets defeated easily by one slap from Cell. Then, Goku fights with Cell, the battle ends when Goku gives up. Cell gets so mad that he self-destructs and tries to blow up the whole Solar System. Goku quickly teleports him and himself to a safe distance, King Kai's Planet. He blows up killing both Goku and King Kai. 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 anger Gohan so that he will be more challenging. The plan works when he creates seven Baby Cells who kills his friends. And he kills Miari Trunks with a surpise attack. Gohan gets pushed off the edge and powers up and reaches SSL2, then Cell realizes that he over did it. Gohan defeats the Baby Cells with just one kick to each of them. 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 stalemate is drawn only with the encouragement of his dead father. Gohan over powers Cell and kills him with only one arm. Everyone is wished back to life except Goku because he was already wished back to life once. But Goku was proud of his son and watched over him in the heavens, while King Kai kept on yelling at Goku for bringing Cell to his planet. Mirai Trunks later returns to his own time. Seven years pass since the Cell Game. Krillin marries #18 (who was wished to human by the DragonBalls) and has a daughter named Marron. Chi-Chi has a seconded son named Goten, Goten and Trunks turned SSJ at an early age. Gohan has a girl friend named Videl, the daughter of Hercule, Gohan is also a superhero named the Great SaiyanMan. During The Tenkaichu-Boudoukai, Goku 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 Gohan's energy, then a man named Kai revives Gohan, he than tells of a evil demon named Buu trying to destroy the Earth. If Buu's slaves gather enough energy, he will be revived. Vegeta learns 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. Goku 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. Goku than heads to battle aganist Buu. Goku then turns SSL2,and SSL3 but he still can't defeat Buu. Later, Gohan heads to the Kai's planet for training. Then before Goku's time is up on Earth he teaches Goten and Trunks the fusion technique, then they get trained by Piccolo so they can be strong enough to beat Buu. Soon after Goten and Trunks fuse to become Gotenks, later Gotenks turns SSL2, and then, SSJ3 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. Kia then sacrifices his life so Goku can live. Goku then gets a pair of Potara Earrings for fusion, this way the fused person won't diffuse in 30 min. Goku now alive teleports to the battle. Then King Yama grants Vegeta life to fight Buu. When Goku arrives to the scene he tells Gohan to fuse with him, Goku than throws a fusion earing at Gohan. Gohan drops the earing and Buu absorbs Gohan, thus turning himself into Ultimate Buu. Then Vegeta comes to the scene. Vegeta then fuses with Goku to become, Vegetto. Vegetto defeats Buu but purposely gets absorbed to rescue their friends. This somehow wears off the permenent fusion. They rescue Goten, 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. Kai teleports to help Goku teleport Vegeta, Hercule, his dog, and Dende to Kai's planet. Vegeta gets angry gecause he rescude them instead of his son and the rest of the Z fighters. Goku was speechless. But there wasn't any time for that, Majin Buu also teleports to the planet Goku's on, and start to fight. Then Goku starts to get beaten up badly. Vegeta jumps into battle so Goku can create a Spirit Bomb. 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. Goku's Spirt Bomb is ready to throw, Goku throws it, and Buu pushes it back. Vegeta tells Dende to wish back all of Goku's strength. Now with all his strength restored, he throws back the Spirit Bomb at Buu. Buu still counters so Goku asks the people on earth to rasie their arms to grant him more power to use in the Spirit Bomb. The people refuse until Hercule rasies his arms. The people people watch him and do the same. Goku has enough power now to use against Buu to make the Spirit Bomb strong enough to defeath him, and does. Ten years after the battle aganist Majin Buu, Fat Buu is revived into a evil cleansed form called Uboo. Goku decides to train him since he has great potential. Gohan and Vidal get married and have a daughter named Pan. This concludes DragonBall Z. |
