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
tournment 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 Gokou'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 Gokou is a Saiyan from the planet Vegeta, where Goku
was originially from, Goku's real name is really "kakaratto"
or just Kakkarot meaning carrot in Japanese, and he reveals all about
Gokou'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 Gokou's father was a
soldier from the Planet Vegita, his offspring were supposed to be sent
down to different planets to conquer. Goku's planet was obviouly
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
Granpa 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 expl ain the plot. So....thus begins the first
installment of the DragonBallZ Story....The RADITZ STORY! -Goku's
father was named Bardock, and was killed later on by a deadly
interglactic 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, Gokou 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, Gokou is completely unprepared for the battles
ahead.
Kuilin:234 BP-still trained under Kame-senin,
Kuilin has some strength and contributes to Gokou's side as one of the
better fighters. Still short, Kuilin volunteers to help Gokou 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 aga inst 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 -Gokou's
son obviously looks like weak and defenseless due to his young age,
but looks are decieving. Gohan contains a special energy within him
that overpowers even Picoolo 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 Gokou and
companions must face for now that is. Incredibly powerful compared to
Gokou. Is a match for Piccolo and Gokou together. The fight ends wih
Piccolo's special attack, a sort of finger-shot that goes through
Raditz as well as Gokou when he tries to hold him.
Raditz dies as well as Gokou, 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.
Gokou ends up on the endles Dragon Road after being set on a mission
from heaven by King Yama, lord of the heavens, and ends with a specail
training with a special Kaoishin, King Kai....it ends with a vision of
2 unknown Saiyans recieving 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 prescious dragonballs to wish for
immortaility. We know them as...Vegeta
and Nappa.
