Movie 1

(Original Air Date: 07-15-89)

In the beginning (Dragonball), Kami landed on Earth and created the 7 legendarydragonballs. To become pure of heart, the Namek separated into two forms- onegood and one evil. The evil replica had a son, who became known as Piccolo!After battling Gokou, Piccolo faced defeat. Because Piccolo and Kami are so related, they held a bond of life. When one perished, the other died as well...

Garlic Jr., a rival of Kami, decided to kill Kami through the destruction of Piccolo. As a result, at the beginning of the movie, Garlic Jr. sends his minions to kill Piccolo. After a battle, Piccolo escapes with barely his life.

Garlic Jr. decides that he must get stronger so he seeks the dragonballs to be granted the wish of immortality. Gohan, meanwhile, wore a hat that had the fourth star dragonball on it. Thus, he gets kidnapped for his hat. (He does not know how to fight at this time.) Then, Gokou goes to rescue his son with Krillin. At Garlic Jr.'s black island, Gokou and Krillin are joined by Piccolo. Gokou and Piccolo fight and kill Garlic Jr.'s minions. Krillin finds Gohan and carries him and looks for a safe place to hide. Meanwhile, Kami faces Garlic Jr. and gets beat up. Gokou and Piccolo finally finds Garlic Jr., but Garlic Jr. has already been granted his wish! Garlic Jr. changes into his muscular battle form and fights Gokou and Piccolo. Gokou and Piccolo get beaten. Garlic Jr. praises how strong he's become and creates a portal that would suck everything into a world of eternal nothingness. Gohan regains consciousness and sees the threat of Garlic Jr. He gets angry and blasts Garlic Jr. through his own portal. Garlic Jr. is sucked into the dimension of nothingness and all returns to normal. At the end, Gohan forgets all that has happened and returns home with Gokou.

Here, the first alliance between Piccolo and Gokou is shown, and Gohan's secret powers are revealed for the first time...
