Saiya-jin Saga | Furiza Saga | Garlic Jr. Saga | Android Saga

Seven years have passed since the end of the Dragonball series, and Goku has settled down after he and Chichi have their first child, Gohan. All is peaceful until Goku's evil brother, Raditsu, lands on the Earth. He tells Goku that he belongs to an alien race known as the Saiya-jin, and that he was supposed to exterminate all life on the planet so that it could be sold to the highest bidder. However, since Goku hit his head as a kid, he forgot his orders and became a peace-loving child. Raditsu offered Goku to join him in conquering the universe, but of course he was turned down. Angered that he would not do his bidding, Raditsu kidnaps Gohan.

Obviously overpowered, Goku teams up with his arch-rival Piccolo to get his son back. Both attacking at the same time, Goku and Piccolo are still no match for the battle-hardened Raditsu. Piccolo tells Goku of a new attack he has been working on, one that should be able to defeat Raditsu. However, it takes a long time to charge up, so Goku has to face Raditsu alone for five minutes. Goku puts up a good fight, but gets socked around quite a bit. Piccolo fires his Makankosappo while Raditsu is busy with Goku, but he misses. Gohan, enraged by the pain being done to his father, attacks Raditsu and greatly weakens him. Goku manages to get Raditsu in a hold, and tells Piccolo to charge his attack again. Piccolo fires the Makankosappo a second time, hitting both Raditsu and Goku. They both die in a matter of minutes.

Before dying, Raditsu is told about the Dragon balls and their power to grant any wish. He signals the other two Saiya-jins, Nappa and Vegeta, to come to Earth so that they may take the dragonballs for themselves. The journey to Earth takes one year, giving the Earthlings little time to prepare. Meanwhile in heaven, Goku begins his voyage to the Kaio of the North in hopes of growing more powerful for the coming evil. Kaio-sama's planetoid exists at the end of a ten-thousand mile long snake path.

Months have passed on the Snake Way, and Goku has yet to find Kaio-sama's home. Offered a ride by a passing demon, Goku falls fast asleep. Unfortunately, a bump in the path sends Goku flying off the machine and into Hell. When Goku wakes up, he is confused to find two demons looking over him. They tell him that he has fallen off Snake Way, and that the only way out was to beat them in a contest. Goku easily wins both times, and is shown the exit to Hell. He is surprised to find that the exit is merely Enma-sama's droor, and that he has to start his journey all over again.

When Goku finally reaches Kaio-sama, Goku learns the Kaio-Ken technique, enabling him to multiply his own strength at the sacrifice of his body. The third sub-story involves how the other defenders of Earth prepare for the battle. Kuririn, Yamcha, and the others all recieve training from Kami. During this time Piccolo teaches Gohan how to use his tremendous hidden powers so that he may assist in the battle.

A year has passed, and the Saiya-jins land in a heavily populated city. After destroying it, they head to battle Piccolo and the others. The earthlings put up a good fight, but unfortunately Goku has not returned yet from his training and is unable to assist them. Seeing how weak their opponents are, the Saiya-jins unleash six Saibamen, each as powerful as Raditsu was. They are destroyed fairly easily, but unfortunately Yamcha is killed as one of the aliens self-destructs. Nappa then decides to join the fray, and he easily kills Tien and Chaozu without taking much damage. Kuririn then tells Vegeta to wait for Goku to arrive, as then they would have a fighting chance. They wait for three hours, but no Goku. The battle resumes, when finally Goku gets back to Earth. Seeing that he might be a problem, Vegeta orders Nappa to kill the others before Goku arrives. Piccolo is destroyed, and since he and Kame are linked psychically linked, Kame disappears as well. Kuririn and Gohan are the only survivors when Goku arrives. Extremely angry, Goku defeats Nappa quickly. He then battles Vegeta, who proves to be too weak for Goku. Seeing that he was overpowered, Vegeta transforms himself into an Oozaru. He badly cripples Goku before Yachirobe cuts off his tail, the source of his power. Kuririn and Gohan then battle Vegeta, and using Goku's failed Genki-Dama, they manage to make him flee the planet.
