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 small 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 from the ship. The scared farmer took his gun and shot him, but the alien caught the bullet and threw it 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 dragonball was lost in the forest. Meet Gohan, Goku's son. After meeting a big toothed tiger, who later became his friend, he finally fell down a river on a log, shouting "DAD!" Goku finally heard his screams and saved him. Goku and Gohan flew to the Kame-House to meet Krillin, Master Roshi, Bulma, and the Turtle. Suddenly, the alien arrived. He told Goku he was his brother and told him his Saiyain origin. (A previous head injury caused Goku to lose his Saiyan memory). The alien, Raditz, told him to Kill 100 creatures on Earth by the next day or Goku will never see his son again. Raditz flew off, Piccolo arrived suddenly, told him of his encounter with Raditz, and made an agreement to team up with together because Raditz was very strong, they would have to fight together to win. Goku and Piccolo finally found Raditz, and the battle started. 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, "Special Beam Cannon." Both Raditz and Goku were killed by the sudden attack. Before Raditz died, Piccolo said that Goku would be back (because he didn't feel right without Goku not around). Raditz asked "how?" Piccolo told him about the dragonballs and the wish from the eternal dragon, Shenlong, would grant any wish that was deziered. Raditz had this information being transmitted through his scouter to Nappa and Vegeta's scouters. They all got the message. Raditz told Piccolo of the two other Saiyans who were both much stronger than Raditz himself! Then Raditz and Goku died. Piccolo took Gohan to train with him because he knew that Gohan had great power. Goku was now in the check-in station in the next dimension. He was allowed to travel through the Serpent Road called "Snake Way" to King Kai's planet to train, but he would go to HELL if he fell off. (Note: It was censored to HFIL, Home For Infinite Losers, in the American version). 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 riding, he hit the curve of Snake Way (which was pointy and faced upward) and Goku fell from the car to HELL. In order to re-enter Snake Way, Goku beat two ogres in two tests. The first test was to beat the blue ogre in a strength battle, the second test was to beat the red ogre in a race. He successfully left HELL, he had to run through Snake Way all over again but was able to regain his strength with a King Yamma fruit (which doubles your strength and keeps you full for three whole months). After escaping from Princess Snake, he finally reached King Kai's planet. Piccolo left Gohan in a desert alone for six months for survival training. Piccolo later returned and started training him. On King Kai's planet, Goku learned to live under a gravity ten times stronger than Earth's and also learned the Kiao Ken attack and the Spirit Bomb technique (The Spirit Bomb draws energy from everybody on a and even the universe, but uses a lot of energy and time.) Krillin, Tien, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu trained with Kame throughout the year. The two Saiyans which Raditz spoke of finally arrived, they destroyed a city, and headed toward the two strongest fighters on the planet, Piccolo and Gohan. They wanted to kill Raditz's murderers and to get the dragonballs to wish for immortality. Yamcha got killed when one of Nappa's Saiba-men self-destructed. Chiaotzu 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 dragonballs and ran rapidly through Snake Way back to Earth. Luckily, Goku finally arrived to save Gohan from Nappa crushing him like a pan cake, and Krillin by using Kiao Ken attack. Vegeta became angry at Nappa because he was embarassing both him and Nappa, So Vegeta killed him. The battle between Goku and Vegeta began. Vegeta gained an advantage by creating a ball that perfectly simulates moon light and transformed into his Oozaru form but lost his ability when Yajirobe cowardly cut off his tail with a sword. (The tail allows a Saiyan to transform into a giant Were-Monkey called "Oozaru" when the Saiyan sees moon light. The transformation will be reversed if either the moon disappears or the tail is cut.) 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. Vegeta used a disc shaped attack to cut Gohan's tail and he was in the process of changing into his original form. Gohan fell on top of Vegeta while he was changing. With his last amount of strength, Vegeta tried to get to his space pod, but Krillin saw the space pod and went to go kill Vegeta, but Goku stopped him. So Vegeta left to recover. Bulma and the others arrived to pick up Goku, Krillin, Gohan, and the bodies of their dead companions. Because of Piccolo's death, Kame also died as well. Without Kame, the dragonballs were not able to exist. Krillin stated that he heard Vegeta saying that Piccolo came from the planet Namek and that there must be dragonballs there as well. By using Kame's spaceship, Bulma, Krillin, and Gohan travelled to Namek, hoping that there would be 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 Kame's home planet, to obtain another set of dragon balls to wish their allies back. Goku was injured from the battle and was uncapable to go, but Krillin, Bulma, and Gohan were able to obtain the spaceship Kame used to arrive to Earth. The journey was two months long and was filled with dangers, including the Space Ark Children, Raachi and Zaakro (with their abilities to create illusions), and finally Frieza! Frieza was the most powerful being in the universe, who had to undergo throught four forms to achieve his real power. After listening to the message from the dying Radditz in the Vegeta Saga, he learned about the dragonballs 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 20x, 30x, 50x, and 100x the Earth's normal gravity. Meanwhile, Piccolo, Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu served as King Kai's pupils. Vegeta was also healed and stronger than ever, heading for Namek for the dragonballs and the hatred for Goku in his black heart. Vegeta was able to kill Dodoria, Kuwi, and Zarbon, becoming stronger after every battle. Frieza killed all the Namekians except Nail, Dende, and Guru while Vegeta captured all the seven dragonballs (with six from Frieza and one from Krillin, Gohan, and Bulma). As a desperate measure, Frieza called upon the Ginyu Force, a team of five strong fighters. Even with their power increased by Guru and with Vegeta assisting them, Krillin and Gohan were losing to the Ginyu Force, allowing them to take the dragonballs to Frieza. Frieza was unable to activate the dragonballs 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. 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 Ginyu trapped in a frog's body. Gohan, Krillin, and Dende were able to obtain the dragonballs from Frieza to revive Piccolo and to bring him to Namek (Unlike Shenlong, Porunga is much stronger and can grant the user three wishes). Frieza killed Guru (he died by Frieza and a little bit by Vegeta because his own chirldren were killed by them and he was in much sorrow. therefore he died of both Frieza and Vegeta) and injured Nail, interrupting Porunga from granting the third wish (which was to grant Vegeta immortality). An angered Frieza hurted Krillin and Gohan, but Dende had the ability to heal them. Frieza tranformed into his second form, but Piccolo merged with Nail and started beating Frieza. Frieza transformed to his third form while Goku was recovering in Frieza's ship from the battle with Ginyu. After undergoing his transformation to his fourth and final form, Frieza killed Vegeta because he kept going on and on about that Super Saiyan legend and how Goku was a Super Saiyan (Frieza feared the Super Saiyan legend). Goku executed a Spirit Bomb desperately at Frieza, but an injured Frieza killed Krillin out of rage. This triggered the anger Goku to transform to a Super Saiyan. An intense battle had developed, risking the destruction of Namek. Super Saiyan Goku was defeating Frieza, becoming stronger every minute. With his last strength, Frieza triggered the planet to blow up in five minutes and threw deadly discs at Goku (I'm guessing his own version of Destructo Disc) but accidentally got cut in the process. Goku gave Frieza some of his own energy to save his life but Frieza proved to be deadly to the last drop and tried to kill Goku with that energy, but Goku saw the beam coming at him and shot one back killing Frieza. Goku tried to start Frieza's spaceship but failed as the ship didn't work, Goku was caught in the explosion. Bulma, Piccolo, Gohan, Vegeta, and the Namekians travelled back to earth with the Namek dragonballs. (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 Teleport in the process. Vegeta decided to find Goku to learn the secret of how to become a Super Saiyan and to train while he was at it, and everything was safe on Earth for now. One year later Frieza was put back together in a robotic form by his father, King Cold and was revived. 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 Frieza. Not only that, he is a Saiyan! Turning Super Saiyan, he kills Frieza 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 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. Android saga and Cell Game Three years passed since Trunks' arrival. A lot has changed since then, Trunks from the future is now called Mirai Trunks since Chibi Trunks is born, and Vegeta joins the Z warriors, but having the same attitude. Mirai Trunks arrives from the future to find that there is another android, Android #16. The androids in Mirai 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 one slap from Cell. Then, Goku fights with Cell, the battle ends with the winner Goku. But Cell gets so mad that he self-destructs and blow up the whole Solar System. Goku quickly teleports him and himself to a safe distance, like 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 piss off Gohan so that he will be more challenging. The plan works when he creates seven Baby Cells who kills his friends. And he kills Mirai Trunks with a surpise attack. Gohan gets pushed off the edge and powers up and reaches SS2, 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 stalement 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 (Chibi) turned SS at an early age. Gohan has a girl friend named Videl, the daughter of Satan (Satan takes all the credit for killing Cell, this got him really famous), Gohan is also a super hero 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 Kaiosen revives 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 SS2. This gives Buu enough energy to be revived. Goku then learns to turn to SS2 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 than turns SS2 and SS3! But he still can't defeat Buu. Later, Gohan heads to the Kaiosen'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 enougth to beat Buu. Soon after Goten and Trunks fuse to become Gotenks, later Gotenks turns SS1-SS3! 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 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. King Kai teleports to help Goku teleport Vegeta, Satan, his dog, and Dende to King Kai's planet. Vegeta gets angry because he rescued 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 starts 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 Spirit Bomb (energy given by the Nameks, the people in the Heavens, and everyone on Earth) is ready to throw, Goku throws it, and Buu pushes it back. Vegeta tells Dende to wish back all of Goku's strength back. Now with all his strength restored, Goku throws back the Spirit Bomb at Buu. Buu can't counter it any longer, so he is killed. Ten years after the battle against 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 Videl get married and have a daughter named Pan. This concludes Dragonball Z.
