Saiyan Saga
- Arrival of Raditz
- With no new battles to fight, Goku has been living a quiet life in the countryside with his wife Chi-Chi and their son Gohan. While at a reunion with his friends, Goku is visited by his evil Saiyan brother, Raditz, who then kidnaps Gohan and keeps him hostage.
- The World's Strongest Team
- Goku and Piccolo team up to defeat Raditz and rescue Gohan, but their combined power is not enough. Gohan, while being locked in Raditz's space pod, is showing incredible power levels, which Raditz finds hard to believe.
- Gohan's Hidden Powers
- Raditz manages to disarm Piccolo, literally, and is able to survive Goku's special technique, the Kamehameha Wave. Gohan then breaks out of Raditz's space pod and with his power raised by his anger, bashes into Raditz, giving Goku the time to grab onto him and allow Piccolo to charge up his Special Beam Cannon.
- Goku's Unusual Journey
- Piccolo hits both Raditz and Goku with his Special Beam Cannon, killing them both. Before he dies, Raditz reveals his two Saiyan partners, Vegeta and Nappa will arrive on Earth in one year. Piccolo then takes Gohan to train him, while Krillin is sent to tell Chi-Chi of the recent happenings. In the Other World, Goku is sent to King Kai to receive training in preparation for the Saiyans.
- Gohan's Metamorphosis
- One night during training, Gohan gazes at the full moon and transforms into a Great Ape. Before he causes any serious damage, Piccolo destroys the moon, which turns Gohan back to normal, removes his tail, preventing him from transforming again, and then leaves him to fend for himself. A message from Yajirobe tells Krillin to go train at Kami's Lookout, and to bring Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu along with him.
- Gohan Makes A Friend
- Gohan befriends a Brontosaurus, but loses it to a hungry Tyrannosaurus Rex. Meanwhile, Krillin and Bulma find Yamcha at one of his baseball games.
- Trouble On Arlia
- On their way to Earth, Vegeta and Nappa land on Planet Arlia and are arrested by the ruler's soldiers. They later help free all of the prisoners and overthrow the king. Afterwards, they destroy the planet and continue to Earth.
- Home for the Infinite Losers
- On his way to King Kai's planet, Goku accidentally falls off Snake Way and lands in the Home for Infinite Losers (H.F.I.L) where he meets two ogres, Goz and Mez. After beating Goz in a wrestling match and Mez in a speed match, the two ogres shows him a secret passage that leads to the beginning of the Snake Way.
- Princess Snake's Hospitality
- Goku comes across a house on Snake Way and a beautiful woman named Princess Snake tries to kill him without him knowing it.
- Escape from Piccolo
- Gohan tries to escape from Piccolo's harsh training and get home to his mom, without Piccolo finding out. Along the way, Gohan tries to save some orphans from going to an orphanage.
- Showdown in the Past
- Kami puts Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu in the Pendulum Room, where they fight against two Saiyans, who beat the Z-fighters, but are told by Kami the two saiyans were not as powerful as the ones on their way to Earth.
- The End of Snake Way
- Goku reaches the end of Snake Way and meets King Kai; meanwhile, Gohan once again becomes a Great Ape and Piccolo finds Goku's old space pod projecting an image of the full moon. He then destroys the pod with his Special Beam Cannon, turning Gohan back to normal, and removes his tail again.
- A Fight Against Gravity... Catch Bubbles!
- Goku's first task is to make King Kai laugh. Once that's done, he is told to catch Bubbles, King Kai's monkey. With the increased gravity on King Kai's planet, it is harder than it looks.
- The Legend of the Saiyans
- Goku's next task is to hit Gregory, King Kai's grasshopper, with a hammer. While taking a break, King Kai tells Goku the legend of the Saiyans and his connection to the warrior race.
- A Black Day for Planet Earth
- Goku completes his training, learning the Kaio-ken Attack and the Spirit Bomb, but the Saiyans finally arrive on Earth. Goku is wished back to life and rushes down Snake Way, but unfortunately, it will take him two days to reach the battlefield.
- The Battle Begins... Goku where are you?
- While Goku races down Snake Way, Piccolo, Gohan, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien and Chiaotzu battle with Nappa's Saibamen, each of whom are as strong as Raditz.
- The Saibamen Strike
- The battle with the Saibamen continues, and Yamcha is killed when one of them self-destructs on him. An enraged Krillin kills the rest with one blast. Now, it's Nappa's turn.
- Nappa ... The Invincible?
- With all of the Saibamen killed, Nappa steps into the battle and attacks Tien, who loses his arm to the Saiyan. Chiaotzu is killed when he tries and fails to kill Nappa by self-destructing. The battle continues as Goku makes his way back to Earth.
- Tien Goes All Out
- Enraged at Chiaotzu's sacrifice, Tien fires his Tri-Beam Cannon at Nappa, using all of his energy, and dies. Nappa, unharmed, continues his onslaught against the remaining Z Fighters. Vegeta tells him to stop and gives them three hours for Goku to show up. Nappa spends the time killing the news crew.
- Time's Up
- Three hours have passed and Goku still hasn't arrived on the battlefield. Vegeta allows Nappa to start attacking the remaining Z Fighters again. Meanwhile, Goku arrives on Earth and heads to the battlefield on the Nimbus Cloud.
- The Return of Goku
- Nappa tries to kill Gohan with a blast, but Piccolo jumps in the way and is killed, along with Kami and the Dragon Balls. Goku arrives on the battlefield in time, and starts fighting with Nappa. Soon, the powerful Nappa finds himself overwhelmed by the even more powerful Goku.
- Goku Strikes Back
- Goku continues to humiliate Nappa, until Vegeta tells him to give up. Nappa then moves in to attack Gohan and Krillin, but Goku uses his Kaio-ken Attack and plows into Nappa, critically injuring the Saiyan. Enraged at his partner's weakness, Vegeta kills the weakened Nappa. Goku and Vegeta then begin to fight.
- Goku vs. Vegeta... A Saiyan Duel
- Vegeta is the superior at the beginning of their fight, and not even the Kaio-ken x2 is enough for Goku to gain the upper hand. Desperate, Goku uses the Kaio-ken x3 and overpowers Vegeta. Enraged, Vegeta attempts to destroy the planet with his Galick Gun, but Goku counters it with his Kamehameha Wave and overpowers Vegeta's blast by adding the Kaio-ken x4. Still angry, Vegeta creates an artificial moon and transforms into a Great Ape.
- Vegeta... Saiyan Style
- As a Great Ape, Vegeta begins toying with Goku. Goku tries to hit him with a Spirit Bomb, but Vegeta notices and blasts him before he can.
- Stop Vegeta Now!
- Yajirobe cuts off Vegeta's tail, reverting him back to normal form, and Gohan takes his dad's place in fighting him. Meanwhile, Goku uses the last of his energy and makes a Spirit Bomb and gives it to Krillin. Krillin throws it at Vegeta, but he jumps over it. Gohan blocks it back and it hits Vegeta, but he survives the attack.
- The Battle Ends
- Gohan looks at the artificial moon and unknowingly becomes a Great Ape again. He attacks Vegeta, until the Saiyan Prince cuts his tail off, but Vegeta is crushed by Gohan while reverting back to normal, and is finally defeated. Krillin tries to kill him with Yajirobe's sword, but Goku convinces him not to, believing that Vegeta will learn to change his evil ways just like Piccolo did, and Vegeta escapes in his space pod.

Aside from the original anime films or TV series like Voltes V, Mazinger Z, DX Daimos, etc., one of the best that I've seen was Dragonball Z & it's good to know that I'm not the only one who is non-Japanese who got addicted to DBZ! You really made a very awesome lens regarding DBZ! I'm so hooked up with DBZ that I even have some awesome DBZ pictures on my personalized checks! Got the idea when my mother bought her own Breast Cancer personal checks online and saved a lot of money! You should check it out! It's awesome! Posted July 06, 2008 |
