Dragon Ball Z - Saiyan Saga



1. The Arrival of RadditzWith 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.

2. The Worlds Strongest TeamGoku 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.

3. Gohan’s Hidden PowersRaditz 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 new technique, the Special Beam Cannon.

4. Goku’s Unusual JourneyPiccolo 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.

5. Gohan’s MetamorphosisOne 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.

6. Gohan makes a FriendGohan gradually gets used to living in the wasteland, even though he misses his parents. One day, he helps an injured dinosaur and the two become friends. Later, Gohan's new friend is attacked by another evil dinosaur! See if Gohan can save his friend!

7. Trouble on ArliaOn 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.

8. Home for Infinite LosersOn 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.

9. Princess Snake's HospitalityGoku comes across a house on Snake Way and a beautiful woman named Princess Snake tries to kill him without him knowing it.

10. Escape from PiccoloGohan 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.

11. Showdown in the PastEarth's warriors, Krillin, Tien, Chiaotzu and Yamcha, are training at Kami's lookout, but get frustrated at the speed of their training. Kami's assistant, Mr. Popo, tells them that knowing themselves will make them stronger, and that learning about their enemy will defeat it. Mr. Popo sends their spirits to the virtual reality of the Pendulum Room, where the warriors experience the overwhelming power of the average Saiyan. Then they learn the terrible reality that the two Saiyans who are approaching Earth are twice as strong!

12. The End of Snake WayGoku 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.

13. 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

14.The Legend of the SaiyansGoku'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.

15. A Black Day for the Planet EarthGoku 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.

16. The Battle Begins... Goku where are you?Vegeta and Nappa meets Piccolo, Gohan, and Krillin. Vegeta recognizes Piccolo as the one who told Raditz about the Dragon Balls before finishing Raditz off, and then reveals that Piccolo is an alien from the planet Namek! The Saiyans then grow plant monsters, called Saibamen, to fight Earth's warriors first, just as Tien, Chiaotzu and Yamcha arrive to help!

17. The Saibamen AttackThe Earth's Special Forces show their newly developed power in their battle with the plant monsters known as the Saibamen. Unfortunately, the Saibamen are only a prologue to the real battle against their creators, the evil Saiyans, Vegeta and Nappa.

18.Nappa... The Invincible?Nappa powers up and picks Tien as his first prey. Chiaotzu tries a sneak attack, but Nappa's enormous power prevents anyone from helping Tien. Piccolo plans a new attack, but will it work on one who seems invincible?

19. Tien goes all out!Tien uses all of his powers to help Piccolo and Krillin attack Nappa, but Nappa continues to dominate the Earth's Special Forces. Just as Nappa is about to finish off Piccolo and Krillin, Vegeta calls a three hour break to see if Kakarot (Goku) will show up. Where is Goku?


20. Time’s up!When the three hour truce ends, Goku has not arrived, so Nappa resumes his devastating attack. Suddenly everyone senses that Goku will arrive soon. When Vegeta discovers that Goku's power level is at least 5000, he orders Nappa to finish off the remaining three warriors before Goku arrives!


21. The Return of GokuNappa defeats Krillin and fires a massive power blast to finish off Gohan. Piccolo saves Gohan by sacrificing himself, but this also sacrifices Kami and the seven Dragon Balls necessary to wish everyone back alive! Gohan is enraged and uses all of his power to avenge Piccolo, but Nappa is too strong. Luckily for Gohan, Goku finally shows up!


22. Goku Strikes Back!Goku arrives and surprises everyone with his new power. Vegeta orders Nappa to retreat, but the enraged Saiyan attacks Kriliin and Gohan instead. Goku stops Nappa by using his new Kaio-Ken technique and the injured Nappa pleads to Vegeta for help. The powerful Saiyan shows his ruthlessness by blowing up Nappa instead! Now it is time for the showdown between Goku and Vegeta!


23. Goku vs. Vegeta... A Saiyan DuelGoku must now face Vegeta, the prince of the planet Vegeta, the strongest Saiyan warrior, and a villain so ruthless he destroyed his own partner, Nappa, for being injured. When Goku's double Kaio-Ken attack fails, Goku breaks his promise to King Kai and uses the triple Kaio-Ken. Vegeta becomes so angry he decides to blow up the Earth.


24. Vegeta... Saiyan StyleVegeta realizes that Kakarot is stronger than he expected, so he uses the ultimate strategy, transforming to a giant ape. Goku is in great danger! On the way to Master Roshi's, Gohan and Krillin sense Goku's crisis and hurry back to help him. Meanwhile, Goku decides to try his other new technique, the Spirit Bomb. But does he have enough time to gather the energy!?


25. Stop Vegeta Now!!As the giant ape almost crushes Goku, Yajirobe manages to cut off its tail! A furious Vegeta now attacks the other three warriors, while Goku tells Gohan to fight against Vegeta to give Goku a chance to give the Spirit Bomb to Krillin. As Vegeta corners Gohan, Krillin throws the Spirit Bomb at Vegeta!


26. Battle’s EndEven after getting hit by the Spirit Bomb, Vegeta is still alive! Although he is injured and weak, Vegeta seems still too strong for the Earth's warriors. Just as Vegeta is about to finish off Gohan, Gohan's tail grows back again! Gohan then transforms to a giant ape and starts attacking Vegeta!

The Raditz Story--Dragon Ball Z


Now five years have passed since the battle of Tenkaichi-Budokai, and the world has finally obtained some peace. Goku ends up marrying a woman that he fought in a tournament that proposed to him as a child- ( the ox-king's daughter, as a child she had a sharp blade on her helmet) Chi-Chi, and they have a kid Son Gohan (which is named after Goku's caretaker "Gohan" and means dinner in Japanese).Peace eventually goes to pieces when a great trouble that reveals all of Goku's past arrives, which we all find out is Goku's brother "Raditz". The stories point of view switches into an epic, where the growing up of Gohan carries on the legacy of his father.It ends up that Goku is a Saiyan from the planet Vegeta, where Goku was originally from, Goku's real name is really "kakaratto" or just Kakarot meaning carrot in Japanese, and he reveals all about Goku's past and his mission and reason he was sent down to planet Earth. You see, Saiyans have incredible superhuman strength- -and most of them use it for evil or conquering , since Goku's father was a soldier from the Planet Vegeta, his offspring were supposed to be sent down to different planets to conquer. Goku's planet was obviously Earth, and when he was sent down as an infant his rage was uncontrollable. Luckily, Grandpa Gohan found him and had accidentally dropped him down a cliff where he hit his head, losing all memory of his evil objectives. He became a good child from then on, until his saiyan blood transforms him into a huge monkey when he looked at the moon, (temporarily) and he destroyed Grandpa Gohan's home and killed Grandpa Gohan unknowingly. With all this info now, I will just hop along the series past all the battles with short and informative tidbits of data to explain the plot. So....thus begins the first installment of the DragonBall Z Story....The RADITZ STORY! -Goku's father was named Bardock, and was killed later on by a deadly intergalactic mercenary that threatens Goku later on. Raditz has a tail, just like Goku had when he was little, *(but Kame cut it off when he was little) and a special communication device worn on one eye that tells BP and power of any individual--known as "Scouters". He wears the traditional Saiyan armor (very symbolic in the series) and has longer hair than Goku. His strength is many times greater than Goku, but with a little help Goku prevails. Fighters on Goku's Side: The Strongest Characters in the Story So Far BP stands for Battle Power (Power Level in America), overall strength a character contains so far... Goku: 416 BP- after 5 years, Goku is reasonably strong compared to an average man, but lacks training and strength. He has been relaxing a little too much, and when the arrival of the saiyans strikes, Goku is completely unprepared for the battles ahead. Kuilin: 234 BP-still trained under Kame-senin, Kuilin has some strength and contributes to Goku’s side as one of the better fighters. Still short, Kuilin volunteers to help Goku battle Raditz.Piccolo: 408 BP- The strongest character so far, even after the battle at Tenkaichi Budokai. He is still thought as an "enemy" and "rebel" kind of character. Not too trustworthy, and wanders the land to just train and train. He masters some new techniques that are useful against Raditz, and is completely against all the Saiyans. Therefore, he makes it his objective to train everyone he can for the next arrival Gohan: 1-700, changes with emotion -Goku’s son obviously looks like weak and defenseless due to his young age, but looks are deceiving. Gohan contains a special energy within him that overpowers even Piccolo and Raditz's Power when he gets angry. So, Raditz's little nephew puts up quite a fight against him. Raditz: 1200 BP-The strongest threat Goku and companions must face for now that is. Incredibly powerful compared to Goku. Is a match for Piccolo and Goku together? The fight ends with Piccolo's special attack, a sort of finger-shot that goes through Raditz as well as Goku when he tries to hold him. Raditz dies as well as Goku, and Raditz warns Piccolo about the arrival of the other Saiyans, and the fact that the eye-piece was used as a communicator to send help to the much stronger beings from Space. Goku ends up on the endless Dragon Road after being set on a mission from heaven by King Yama, lord of the heavens, and ends with a special training with a special Kaposi, King Kai....it ends with a vision of 2 unknown Saiyans receiving the transmission of Raditz death from the Scouters, as they end up deciding to go to Earth just to conquer it and gain control of all the precious dragon balls to wish for immortality. We know them as...Vegeta and Nappa.

Dragonball AF--1

Dragon Ball AF
is a new Dragon Ball series being developed in Japan right at this moment. The series is supposed to be called "Dragon Ball AF" and the AF is supposed to stand for
1. After Future
2. Alternate Future
3. Another Future most likely (1).
I looked up more information about this situation from much larger more in depth sites and I found out several things. Each sort of different, but the majority of them call this new series a freaking hoax, or a idea by Akira Toriyama made awhile ago which never flew and also some say it is very real. Which it might be, but everyone has different options. In Dragon Ball AF Raditz is back as a Super Saiya-jin even goes SSJ 3, Freiza and Cooler fuse, Cell absorbs Android 8, Goku goes Super Saiya-jin level 5 and then 6 also Goku learns how to fuse with 3 people. If this show is not a hit in Japan, there is not going to be a chance that it's going to come to North America, sorry to all you hardcore DB fans. I have collected a bunch of Dragon Ball AF Pictures and some Gifs check them out Here. This whole thing is not a very detailed description but why would you need a detailed one. This one is good because it has all you need to know and pretty much all there is to know about Dragon Ball AF. Also one more thing don't be to worried that it isn't true because every one that Dragon Ball GT was fake but no it wasn't it was very real!

About Vegeta


Vegeta was a prince of the saiyans on a planet called "Vegeta" that was hundreds and hundreds of miles away from Earth's solar system until Frieza came along and destroy it because he was affaid that the saiyans would over power him! Frieza took prince Vegeta as one of his men. Thats about the time when Vegeta started looking for the 7 dragon balls that acquire immortality so that he could later defeat Frieza. This quest lead him to the planet Earth which he ended up staying there and meeting his wife Bulma (which I still wonder how they came to be so close, maybe because they have the same type of temper...who knows!)

SON GOHAN




Sometimes it is difficult to tell just what exactly Gohan wants; this may be due to his heritage of being half-Saiyajin and half-Chikyuujin. Shortly after we were introduced to him, we learned that, like his father, he had a great fighter's potential, yet his dream is to become a great scholar. Many have often thought that perhaps this was not his true dream, but the dream he thinks he has, due to Chichi's strong influence.



For now, that is unimportant, but what we do know is this: After his uncle, Raditz, arrived on earth, there was a long period of time where he was kept from his dream, yet this period of time helped him to grow and mature the most.



What happened? First, Piccolo took him away from his family, and taught him to survive on his own. After his first real battle against Nappa and Vegeta, Gohan, a mere five-year-old boy, had enough courage and power to stand up to opponents many times his size, for the purposes of protecting the weak.



Although the warrior blood of Saiyajins flows in his body, Gohan did not enjoy fighting. And while the mix of Saiyajin and human blood seems to have given him a greater power potential, it has also given him a meeker, less violent personality. What Gohan really seems to enjoy is to spend time with the people he loves and respects; his family and friends.



However, when Gohan becomes enraged, his Saiyajin nature kicks in; he becomes uncontrollable, like the way we see him during the Cell Game. It is interesting to note that the things that make Gohan angry are not really things that others have done to him, but rather the injustice that he sees around him.



Such injustices are what keeps him fighting, even creating his alter egos of "The Golden-Haired Warrior" and "Great Saiyaman." Another cause for the creation of his alter egos is his childhood fighting experience...



Gohan started his training with Piccolo at the age of 4, and fought some deadly battles at 5... At the age of 11, about the same age as Goku when he was first introduced, he bore the heavy responsibility of protecting the earth against Cell (while Goku was roaming around without a care in the world at that age). Luckily, with the return of his father, Gohan can go back to living a relatively normal life, and since he doesn't really enjoy fighting, perhaps it was as much his own will, as it was his mother's, for him to become a great scholar, which he was able to achieve.
