Episodes

A wild boy with a monkey tail meets a teenage girl from the city, and together they set off on a journey to collect seven mystical orbs that can grant any wish. Meanwhile, a small blue emperor begins his own sinister hunt for the same treasures.

Goku and Bulma camp near the wolf-infested Skull Valley, where modern conveniences bewilder the jungle boy. Emperor Pilaf dispatches spies to track a mysterious glow, and a lost sea turtle appears seeking help.

Goku returns the lost Turtle to the sea and meets his grateful master, the legendary Turtle Hermit. Master Roshi rewards Goku with the magical Flying Nimbus cloud and, through a dubious bargain, gives Bulma a Dragon Ball.

A shape-shifting pig named Oolong has been terrorizing Aru Village, kidnapping daughters one by one. Goku dresses as a village girl to lure him out, and the resulting confrontation reveals a villain far less fearsome than his reputation suggests.

Deep in the scorching Diablo Desert, Goku faces his first real martial arts opponent: Yamcha, a feared bandit with a devastating technique called the Wolf Fang Fist. But the desert warrior has a crippling secret weakness.

As night falls in the desert, multiple parties converge on the Dragon Balls. Yamcha learns of their wish-granting power and hatches a plan. Pilaf's minions plant a bomb. And Oolong drugs his own teammates for a scheme of his own.

The group arrives at Fire Mountain, a castle engulfed in endless flames guarded by the fearsome Ox-King. When the giant recognizes Goku's Flying Nimbus, an unexpected connection to the past changes everything.

Master Roshi travels to Fire Mountain to extinguish the eternal flames with a technique that took him fifty years to master. Goku watches once, then replicates it in seconds. The Kamehameha Wave enters the story.

Bulma's bunny ears attract the wrong kind of attention in a town ruled by the Rabbit Mob. Their boss, Monster Carrot, can turn anyone he touches into a carrot, and Bulma becomes his latest victim.

Emperor Pilaf's minions ambush the group in the desert and steal all six Dragon Balls. With only Goku's four-star ball remaining, the heroes have no choice but to storm Pilaf's Castle directly, walking straight into a trap.

Trapped inside Pilaf's castle, Goku and friends endure gas attacks and a giant pinball machine while the emperor collects the final Dragon Ball. Outside the walls, the eternal dragon Shenron rises into the sky for the first time.

Shenron hovers above Pilaf's castle, waiting for a wish. The emperor hesitates. A pig in bat form races to beat him. And under the full moon, Goku undergoes a terrifying transformation that none of his friends can explain.

Great Ape Goku demolishes Pilaf's castle in a blind rampage. His friends must find a way to stop the monster without killing the boy inside. By morning, the Emperor Pilaf Saga concludes, and every character heads toward a new chapter.

Goku arrives at Kame House to begin training under Master Roshi, but the old hermit has one condition: bring him a pretty girl. While Goku fumbles the assignment, a small bald boy crosses an ocean to request the same training.

Goku and Krillin search for a girl to satisfy Master Roshi's condition. They rescue a sweet, innocent woman from the police, unaware that a single sneeze transforms her into a violent, gun-toting criminal named Launch.

Master Roshi evaluates his new students with a 100-meter sprint and a stone hunt in the jungle. Krillin's cunning clashes with Goku's raw talent as the two boys compete for dinner and the old master's approval.

Roshi's training method is not what anyone expected. Before sunrise, Goku and Krillin must deliver bottles of milk across the entire island on foot, sprinting up mountains and zigzagging through forests. It is grueling, unglamorous, and exactly what they need.

Goku and Krillin endure Master Roshi's grueling training regimen, from plowing fields to dodging bees, all while wearing heavy Turtle Shells to prepare for the World Martial Arts Tournament.

Months of training come to a close as Goku and Krillin shed their Turtle Shells, receive their signature uniforms, and travel to Papaya Island for the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament.

The World Martial Arts Tournament preliminaries begin as 137 fighters compete for just eight spots. Goku, Krillin, and Yamcha tear through the competition and advance to the finals.

The tournament quarterfinals kick off with Krillin facing the foul Bacterian, a fighter who weaponizes his lifelong refusal to bathe. Goku's timely reminder helps Krillin turn the tide.

Jackie Chun dismantles Yamcha with a single invisible burst of energy, and Nam overcomes Ranfan's seductive tactics by closing his eyes and fighting for his village's survival.

Goku faces the terrifying Giran in the final quarterfinal match. Trapped in Merry-Go-Round Gum and hurled from the ring, Goku's tail grows back just in time to turn the fight around.

Krillin takes on the mysterious Jackie Chun in a semifinal bout full of comedy, cunning, and lightning-fast exchanges. Despite a clever panty trick, Krillin falls to Jackie Chun's superior speed.

Goku battles Nam in the semifinals as the noble warrior unleashes his devastating Cross Arm Dive. After surviving the aerial assault, Goku advances to the finals against Jackie Chun.

The championship match begins as Goku and Jackie Chun trade Kamehameha waves, Afterimage techniques, and unorthodox fighting styles in a battle that pushes both fighters to their creative limits.

The finals escalate when Goku transforms into a Great Ape under the full moon. Jackie Chun is forced to unleash his MAX Power Kamehameha, and the outcome leaves everyone fearing the worst.

Goku survives the MAX Power Kamehameha and the finals resume. After an exhausting exchange of blows, a simultaneous flying kick determines the champion by the slimmest of margins.

With the tournament behind him, Goku sets off to find the Four-Star Dragon Ball. Along the way, he reunites with Nam and helps free his village from a drought caused by a dam of Merry-Go-Round Gum.

Goku's belongings are stolen and sold at a pawn shop, leading to a chaotic three-way collision between Goku, Emperor Pilaf, and the Red Ribbon Army as all three chase Dragon Balls and fake ones.

Chi-Chi prepares for her wedding to Goku while the Pilaf Gang infiltrates Fire Mountain in disguise. The Red Ribbon Army attacks the village, capturing the Ox-King and throwing the celebration into chaos.

Goku and Chi-Chi rescue the Ox-King from the Red Ribbon Army while Colonel Silver chases Pilaf's Flying Fortress through the clouds. The aerial battle ends with the fortress destroyed and the Dragon Ball changing hands.

Goku befriends a troupe of monkeys while Colonel Silver hunts for a Dragon Ball in their forest. At Kame House, Master Roshi tells the ancient legend of how the Dragon Balls were created.

Goku finds the Five-Star Dragon Ball and clashes with Colonel Silver, who destroys the Flying Nimbus with a rocket launcher. After defeating Silver, Goku flies north and crash-lands near the frozen Muscle Tower.

Goku crash-lands in the frozen north and is rescued by a girl named Suno. After learning the Red Ribbon Army has enslaved Jingle Village, he sets out through the snow to storm Muscle Tower and save the captured village chief.

Goku enters Muscle Tower and quickly dispatches the ground-floor guards before facing Major Metallitron on the third floor. The towering android proves nearly indestructible until his battery runs out mid-fight, letting Goku advance.

Goku reaches the fourth floor of Muscle Tower and faces the cunning Ninja Murasaki. What begins as a stealth encounter quickly devolves into a slapstick game of hide-and-seek, ending with Murasaki's boomerang shuriken catching Goku off guard.

Goku survives the boomerang shuriken and battles Ninja Murasaki through a piranha pond and into a dramatic reveal: there are five Murasakis. Goku defeats the brothers and chases the original to the fifth floor, where the ominous Android 8 is unleashed.

Android 8 refuses to fight Goku, revealing a gentle heart that rejects violence. Goku destroys the remote that could detonate the android and together they navigate General White's shifting maze, only to fall through a trapdoor on the sixth floor.

Goku and Android 8 land in a pit beneath General White's floor and face Buyon, a massive rubbery monster immune to physical attacks and even the Kamehameha. Goku cleverly freezes the beast by punching a hole in the wall, then shatters him with a single kick.

Goku confronts General White in the control room, but when White takes the village chief hostage at gunpoint, Android 8's rage erupts. Eighter punches White clear out of the tower, rescues the chief, and demolishes Muscle Tower on his way out.

Goku, Suno, and Android 8 trek through the snow to visit Dr. Flappe, who can remove the bomb inside Eighter. Ninja Murasaki, having survived Muscle Tower's collapse, stalks them the entire way and causes trouble at the doctor's house.

Goku leaves Jingle Village for West City to find Bulma and fix his Dragon Radar. After reuniting with the Flying Nimbus, he navigates the big city for the first time, winning prize money in a street fight and discovering that Bulma is the daughter of Capsule Corporation's president.

Goku reunites with Bulma at Capsule Corporation, where she fixes his Dragon Radar and shows off the Micro Band. Meanwhile, the Red Ribbon Army hires master thief Hasky to steal Goku's Dragon Balls. The gang heads to Dream Land amusement park, unaware they are being watched.

At Dream Land, Hasky poses as a fortune teller to get close to Goku's Dragon Balls. After her disguise is blown, she steals the balls, ties up Yamcha, and plants a bomb in the park. Goku catches her just in time and reclaims the Dragon Balls before the bomb detonates.

Goku and Bulma discover the next Dragon Ball is underwater. When Bulma's capsule case turns out to be her father's, yielding dirty magazines instead of vehicles, the two are stranded on an island. After Goku fails to dive deep enough, Red Ribbon soldiers harass Bulma until Goku saves her. They decide to visit Master Roshi for help.

Goku and Bulma arrive at Kame House seeking a submarine. While they wait for Krillin and Launch to return with supplies, the Red Ribbon Army tracks them to the island. General Blue splits his forces, sending one squad to raid Kame House while he personally pursues Goku's group underwater.

General Blue splits his forces: Company A pursues Goku's submarine into an underwater cave while Company B, led by Captain Dark, heads to raid Kame House. As torpedoes fly and the cave narrows, Goku's group barely escapes into a passage too small for Blue's main sub.

Captain Dark's Red Ribbon squad attacks Kame House, but Master Roshi effortlessly defeats them. When a soldier holds Launch at gunpoint, Turtle triggers her sneeze transformation, and Bad Launch finishes the job. Meanwhile, Goku's group enters the Pirate Cave with General Blue close behind.

Goku, Krillin, and Bulma navigate deadly pirate traps inside the cave, dodging arrow-filled hallways and a lava pit. General Blue's soldiers are wiped out by the same traps, leaving him to continue alone. The trio finally reaches a port with a giant pirate ship, only to awaken a massive Pirate Robot guarding the treasure.

Goku and Krillin battle the Pirate Robot through the underground port. After Krillin and Bulma accidentally hit Goku with a cannon, he recovers and destroys the robot with a devastating aerial attack. General Blue then tricks Goku with a fake directional arrow, separating him from his friends as they dive deeper toward the treasure.

Goku battles a giant octopus while Krillin discovers pirate treasure and faces General Blue in a brutal fight, only to be paralyzed by Blue's terrifying Psychic Eyes technique.

Goku takes on General Blue in a fierce showdown inside the crumbling Pirate Cave, breaking free from Blue's psychic hold thanks to a tiny mouse before diving deep to recover the Dragon Ball.

Goku, Bulma, and Krillin race against time to escape the collapsing Pirate Cave, using a Kamehameha-powered submarine to blast free, while General Blue survives and follows them to Kame House.

General Blue ambushes everyone at Kame House with telekinetic ropes and a ticking bomb, stealing the Dragon Balls. Goku chases Blue across the sky and crash-lands in the quirky Penguin Village.

Goku explores Penguin Village searching for General Blue and the stolen Dragon Balls, befriending Arale and encountering the town's bizarre residents while Blue wreaks havoc trying to find a plane.

General Blue paralyzes Goku one last time and steals the Dragon Radar, but Arale intervenes with a single devastating kick that launches Blue into the sky, ending his reign of terror for good.

Goku arrives at the Sacred Land of Korin, where he meets the powerful native warrior Bora and his son Upa, saves Upa from Captain Yellow, and finally recovers his grandfather's Four-Star Dragon Ball.

Mercenary Tao arrives at Red Ribbon HQ, kills General Blue with a single strike of his tongue, then travels to the Sacred Land of Korin where he murders Bora, sending Goku into a rage.

Goku fights Mercenary Tao but is hopelessly outmatched. A Dodon Ray strikes Goku's heart, leaving him for dead. Saved only by the Four-Star Dragon Ball, Goku begins his climb up Korin Tower.

Goku reaches the top of Korin Tower and meets the 800-year-old cat deity Korin, who refuses to simply hand over the Sacred Water. A grueling game of keep-away begins that tests Goku's speed and resolve.

Goku finally catches Korin and drinks the Sacred Water, only to learn the water was ordinary all along. The real training was the climb, the chase, and learning to read an opponent's movements.

Goku descends from Korin Tower a changed fighter and dominates his rematch against Mercenary Tao, blocking the Dodon Ray with his bare hands and shattering Tao's sword with his Power Pole.

Korin tricks Tao with fake Sacred Water and drops him from a dark cloud. Goku finishes the rematch decisively, kicking Tao's own grenade back at him, and sets off for Red Ribbon Army Headquarters.

Colonel Violet retrieves a Dragon Ball for Commander Red while Goku's friends discover he is headed straight for Red Ribbon HQ. Master Roshi rallies the group for a rescue mission as Goku approaches the fortress alone.

Goku storms Red Ribbon Army Headquarters alone, dodging missiles, smashing through soldiers, and destroying everything in his path while his friends race to reach him and Colonel Violet prepares to flee.

Commander Red's true wish is exposed: not world domination but to become taller. Staff Officer Black executes Red, renames the army, and challenges Goku in a massive Battle Jacket mech suit.

Goku destroys Commander Black's Battle Jacket and topples the Red Ribbon Army. With six Dragon Balls in hand and a broken radar, Master Roshi suggests that Goku may now surpass even him in strength.

With six Dragon Balls and a broken radar, the gang seeks out Master Roshi's sister, Fortuneteller Baba. She can find the last Dragon Ball, but her price is steep, and the only alternative is fighting.

The battle for the last Dragon Ball begins as Goku's team faces Baba's five fighters. Krillin falls to Fangs the Vampire, Upa and Puar rally for a creative win, and Yamcha meets an invisible foe.

Yamcha battles See-Through the Invisible Man in a match where hearing is more valuable than sight. A crude but brilliant plan involving Bulma and Master Roshi turns the tide in spectacular fashion.

Bandages the Mummy emerges from a sarcophagus to face Yamcha in the Devil's Toilet. Despite Yamcha's speed and determination, the mummy's relentless power proves too much, and Goku must step up to save his friend.

Goku dismantles Bandages the Mummy with a single punch and moves on to Spike the Devil Man. But Spike possesses a technique that exploits an opponent's darkest thoughts, and Master Roshi is terrified.

The Devilmite Beam fails completely against Goku, whose pure heart contains no darkness to exploit. After defeating Spike, Goku faces Baba's mysterious fifth fighter, a masked man whose scent feels strangely familiar.

The final match at Baba's palace erupts into a fight for the ages. The masked fighter matches Goku blow for blow and even fires a Kamehameha. Master Roshi realizes the truth: this is Goku's grandfather, Gohan.

Goku's tail rips off during the brutal fight with Grandpa Gohan, who then surrenders and reveals himself. Their tearful reunion is followed by Baba locating the final Dragon Ball, now in Emperor Pilaf's possession.

Goku chases down Emperor Pilaf to claim the final Dragon Ball. The Pilaf Gang deploys their power suits and combines them into a giant machine, but Goku's Kamehameha and quick reflexes dismantle every trick they throw at him.

Goku summons Shenron at Korin Tower and Upa wishes his father back to life. With Bora restored, Goku sets off alone on a training journey across the globe, walking instead of flying, to prepare for the next tournament.

On his solo training journey, Goku saves a girl named Chao from a tiger bandit and agrees to help her village defeat Terror and Plague, two brothers terrorizing the locals with a magical gourd that traps people inside.

Goku's tail regrows as he trains across the wilderness. He encounters Master Chin, a sick martial artist bullied by the ruthless Sky Dragon, and volunteers to fight in a high-stakes match for the title of Master of Martial Arts.

Goku reaches Fiend Village, where demons have kidnapped Princess Misa. He enters the Demon Realm through a sealed portal, battles the demon lord Shula, and rescues the princess by sealing the gateway behind him.

Goku encounters a three-eyed stranger and his small companion running a scam with a monster called InoShikaCho. After a brief fight and a clever scheme, Goku exposes their con. These strangers are Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu.

Three years of training are over and the World Martial Arts Tournament is tomorrow. Goku saves a former criminal named Konkichi, misses his flight to Papaya Island, and decides to swim across the ocean to get there.

Goku swims to Papaya Island and signs up for the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament at the last minute. Master Roshi secretly enters as Jackie Chun again, and the Crane Hermit arrives with his disciples Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu.

The 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament preliminaries begin as Goku, Krillin, Yamcha, and Jackie Chun draw their numbers and face their first opponents. Tien Shinhan and the Crane School make a hostile introduction, setting the stage for an intense rivalry.

Goku dismantles former champion King Chappa in the preliminaries, and all eight finalists emerge. Tien Shinhan brutally defeats the returning Nam, and the Turtle School reunites outside as Launch clears seats with her shotgun.

The tournament finals begin with Yamcha facing Tien Shinhan in Match 1. Chiaotzu secretly rigs the bracket draw using telekinesis, and the two rival fighters engage in an intense, evenly matched battle that pushes both to their limits.

Yamcha unleashes the Neo Wolf Fang Fist but Tien Shinhan proves too resilient. After deflecting a surprise Kamehameha and breaking Yamcha's leg, Tien wins the match with ruthless finality. Goku vows revenge for his fallen friend.

Jackie Chun faces Man-Wolf in Match 2, a grudge match born from the destruction of the moon three years earlier. After toying with his canine-natured opponent, Jackie wins by tossing a bone out of the ring and then uses hypnosis to restore Man-Wolf's human form.

Krillin faces Chiaotzu in Match 3 and discovers his opponent can fly. Chiaotzu takes to the air and rains down Dodon Rays while Krillin scrambles to survive. Goku reveals that Mercenary Tao used the same technique before Goku killed him, shocking Tien.

Krillin fires his first Kamehameha and turns the tide against Chiaotzu. By exploiting Chiaotzu's inability to count without his hands, Krillin breaks free of his paralyzing technique and punches him out of the ring. That night, Master Shen attempts to assassinate Goku.

Goku faces celebrity fighter Pamput in Match 4, but first he must escape a kidnapping plot by Pamput's manager. Launch rescues Goku just in time, and he arrives at the arena to end the fight with three devastating elbow strikes.

Jackie Chun and Tien Shinhan collide in Match 5, an explosive semifinal between the former champion and the Crane School's prodigy. After Tien sees through Jackie's Afterimage Technique with his third eye, the two warriors push each other to exhaustion.

Tien unveils the blinding Solar Flare and nearly finishes Jackie Chun, but the old master recovers and delivers a powerful message about wasted potential. After Shen uncovers his true identity as Roshi, Jackie deliberately walks out of the ring to end his era.

Best friends become opponents as Goku and Krillin battle in the second semifinal. Their evenly matched fight showcases three years of growth, while backstage, Master Roshi tells Tien he has a conscience and will never become an assassin.

Krillin grabs Goku's tail hoping to exploit his old weakness, only to discover Goku trained it away. After another furious exchange, Goku moves so fast he becomes invisible and knocks Krillin out of the ring with eight unseen strikes.

The championship match between Goku and Tien Shinhan begins. Yamcha sneaks out of the hospital to watch. Goku opens aggressively, using his tail to grab Tien's leg, but Tien fires a Dodon Ray through the ring floor and pins Goku against a wall for a merciless beating.

After surviving the Volleyball Attack, Goku reveals he has been fighting at a fraction of his strength. He shifts to battle level, outclasses Tien with afterimages and borrowed sunglasses against the Solar Flare, until a mysterious force freezes him in midair.

Chiaotzu's secret paralysis is exposed, and Tien forces him to stop, refusing to win through cheating. When Shen orders Chiaotzu to freeze both fighters, Roshi blasts Shen out of the arena with a Kamehameha. Free from his master, Tien sprouts two extra arms.

Tien's four arms overwhelm Goku until the boy counters with speed so extreme he appears to grow eight arms of his own. After an epic struggle, Tien floats skyward and fires the Tri-Beam Cannon, obliterating the entire ring in a single devastating blast.

Tien wins the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament by a stroke of luck, but the celebration turns tragic when Krillin is found murdered and a Dragon Ball stolen by a mysterious monster.

After Krillin's murder, Goku races after the killer while Master Roshi reveals the terrifying legend of King Piccolo, an ancient demon king once sealed away by his own master.

Goku catches up to Krillin's killer, the demon Tambourine, but is badly beaten and left for dead. Meanwhile, Tambourine begins a worldwide hunt to eliminate every known martial artist.

Tambourine continues murdering fighters while King Piccolo spawns a new demon named Cymbal. Goku wakes up starving in the wilderness and stumbles upon a mysterious stranger with a Dragon Ball.

Goku clashes with the sword-wielding hermit Yajirobe over a misunderstanding, then teams up with him when Cymbal arrives for the Dragon Ball. Yajirobe slices the demon in half with a single stroke.

Yajirobe cooks and eats Cymbal while Tambourine slaughters Giran and nearly kills Yamcha. Roshi, Tien, and Chiaotzu begin their own quest to collect the Dragon Balls before Piccolo can.

Tien confronts a man he once crippled in a fighting ring and earns forgiveness through genuine remorse. Goku chases Yajirobe across the countryside until Tambourine finally tracks them down.

Goku, fully recovered and fueled by rage, overwhelms Tambourine in their rematch and obliterates him with a Kamehameha. King Piccolo, sensing his son's death, decides to face Goku personally.

Goku faces King Piccolo directly for the first time. After a promising start, the demon king removes his cloak and unleashes his true power, leaving Goku completely outmatched and desperate.

King Piccolo defeats Goku with a devastating blast and takes his Dragon Ball. Yajirobe finds Goku barely alive and begins driving him to Korin Tower while Roshi prepares to confront Piccolo alone.

Master Roshi attempts the forbidden Evil Containment Wave against King Piccolo in a desperate gambit to seal the demon away. The technique fails at the last second, and Roshi dies with a final warning.

King Piccolo has his youth restored by Shenron, then murders the dragon to destroy the Dragon Balls forever. He betrays the Pilaf Gang and sets his sights on conquering Earth through King Castle.

King Piccolo storms King Castle during an anniversary celebration, decimating the guards and capturing King Furry. Goku and Yajirobe begin their climb up Korin Tower in search of greater power.

King Piccolo forces King Furry to announce his conquest to the world by destroying part of Central City. Goku reaches Korin Tower and learns about the Ultra Divine Water, a deadly elixir that could unlock hidden power.

Goku and Yajirobe descend into a frozen labyrinth beneath Korin Tower to find the Ultra Divine Water. They battle an indestructible ice monster called Darkness while Piccolo enjoys his new kingdom above.

Darkness creates an illusion of Goku's dead friends to lure him into a trap. After seeing through the deception, Goku earns the right to drink the Ultra Divine Water and endures agonizing pain as it transforms him.

Goku survives the Ultra Divine Water and emerges with power he can feel surging through his body. Korin gifts him a new Flying Nimbus, and Goku takes off toward King Castle to face Piccolo once more.

King Piccolo declares Piccolo Day and targets West City for destruction. As the world panics, Tien Shinhan races to King Castle to confront the tyrant. The demon king spawns a new warrior, Drum, to stand in Tien's way.

Tien Shinhan battles Drum at King Castle and attempts the Evil Containment Wave, but Drum intercepts it and Piccolo destroys the jar. Just as all hope seems lost, Goku arrives and kills Drum with a single devastating kick.

Goku launches his rematch against King Piccolo at King Castle. After dominating the early exchanges and accidentally killing Piano, Goku pushes the demon king to unleash his full power, a desperate gamble that shortens Piccolo's lifespan.

Goku lands a Bending Kamehameha on King Piccolo and presses the advantage until Piccolo cripples his leg. After losing his Power Pole, Goku endures the Explosive Demon Wave that levels all of Central City. Tien saves Goku from the blast at the last second.

King Piccolo takes Tien hostage and systematically cripples Goku's limbs. With only his right arm still functional, Goku launches himself with a one-handed Kamehameha and punches clean through Piccolo's torso. Before dying, Piccolo spits out one final egg.

With King Piccolo defeated, the world celebrates. Goku learns from Korin that victims of Piccolo's minions are trapped in limbo and can only be saved by the Dragon Balls. He sets out to find his Power Pole, the key to reaching Kami, creator of the Dragon Balls.

Goku extends the Power Pole from Korin Tower and ascends through a thunderstorm to reach the Lookout. There he meets Mr. Popo, whose speed and technique completely overwhelm him. Even the Kamehameha and Penetrate technique prove useless.

Goku trains under Mr. Popo to eliminate wasted movement in his fighting. When Kami finally reveals himself, Goku attacks, mistaking him for King Piccolo. Kami explains that he and Piccolo were once a single being, split apart so he could become Earth's Guardian.

Kami resurrects Shenron using a stone figure repaired by Mr. Popo. The Dragon Balls reactivate immediately, and at Kame House the group summons Shenron. Everyone killed by King Piccolo and his minions is wished back to life, including Krillin, Master Roshi, and Chiaotzu.

Mr. Popo sends Goku to Mount Rumble to retrieve a Sacred Crown that attracts lightning. Goku must learn to sense and dodge bolts faster than he can see. A girl named Chuu Lee and her lost bird teach him to feel rather than react.

Mr. Popo sends Goku into a forest to find someone who can sharpen his mind. After being tricked by a woodsman's trap, Goku meets a large family and the local strongman Yaochun. But the true teacher turns out to be an old fisherman named Korinto.

After another loss to Mr. Popo, Goku is sent back in time through the Time Room. He meets the young Master Roshi and Master Shen, and trains under their legendary teacher Mutaito, learning the concept of spirit energy by splitting a waterfall in two.

Mr. Popo creates a clay replica of Goku as a sparring partner. The doll fights with perfect focus and zero mental interference, exposing every flaw in Goku's concentration. Meanwhile, Tien, Krillin, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu begin their trek toward Korin Tower.

Tien, Krillin, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu arrive at a mountain village during a festival. Meanwhile, Goku plays a blindfolded game of tag with Mr. Popo to sharpen his ki sensing. The celebration turns dangerous when the village's sacred mountain reveals itself to be a volcano.

The volcano erupts with devastating force, and Tien, Krillin, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu work together to divert the lava and protect the village. Above the clouds, Goku continues his blindfolded ki training with Mr. Popo. The three-year countdown to the tournament begins in earnest.

Three years have passed. The warriors reunite at Papaya Island for the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament. A tall stranger helps Bulma retrieve a balloon, and when he removes his turban, everyone is stunned to see it is Goku, now a teenager. That night, Piccolo Jr. arrives.

The 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament preliminaries begin. Goku defeats King Chappa with a single invisible chop. A mysterious girl and a masked man win their matches easily. Chiaotzu is eliminated by Mercenary Tao, who has returned as a cyborg seeking revenge.

The 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament advances to its quarterfinal round. Yajirobe falls in the preliminaries, the final eight matchups are drawn, and Tien prepares to face his former master, Mercenary Tao, in a deeply personal opening bout.

Tien Shinhan faces his former master, the now-cybernetic Mercenary Tao, in the first quarterfinal match. When Tao draws a hidden blade and cannon to kill his former student, Tien proves his growth by dismantling every attack with ease.

Goku faces an anonymous woman in the second quarterfinal who claims he broke a promise to her. After defeating her with a shockwave punch, he learns she is Chi-Chi and proposes marriage on the spot. Krillin then begins his match against the terrifying Ma Junior.

Piccolo overwhelms Krillin with terrifying power, stretching his arm across the ring to batter him into submission. Krillin forfeits, and the fourth quarterfinal begins as Yamcha faces the seemingly clumsy Hero, who hides far more skill than anyone suspects.

Hero defeats Yamcha using superior technique, then reveals his true identity as Kami to Goku with a knowing wink. The semifinal between Goku and Tien Shinhan begins, and even Piccolo watches eagerly as the two rivals appear evenly matched at first.

Tien gains the upper hand over Goku with superior speed until Goku removes his weighted training clothes, revealing astonishing agility. Suddenly lighter and faster, Goku steals Tien's belt without him noticing, proving just how wide the gap has become.

Tien splits into four copies using the Multi-Form technique, turning the semifinal into a four-on-one assault. Goku discovers two critical flaws in the technique, blinds all four Tiens with a Solar Flare, and eliminates them from the ring to claim victory.

Kami confronts his evil counterpart Piccolo in the second semifinal, revealing their shared origin. When Kami attempts the Evil Containment Wave to seal Piccolo in a bottle, Piccolo reverses it, trapping Kami instead and swallowing the bottle whole.

Piccolo swallows the bottle containing Kami, and Goku reveals Piccolo's true identity to his friends. The championship match begins with the fate of the world hanging in the balance as Goku and Piccolo trade blows that shake the arena.

Goku and Piccolo push each other to terrifying new levels. Piccolo fires a Makosen blast that obliterates a mountain range, and Goku counters with the Super Kamehameha after Krillin reminds him that the Dragon Balls can revive Kami.

Piccolo survives the Super Kamehameha and reveals his true identity as King Piccolo's reincarnation to the entire world. The panicked crowd flees, and Piccolo transforms into a giant to crush Goku, but the young fighter proves size alone is not enough.

Goku dives down Piccolo's throat to retrieve the bottle containing Kami, freeing the Guardian and forcing Piccolo back to normal size. After a spectacular aerial exchange, Piccolo regenerates a torn-off arm and begins charging his most destructive attack yet.

Piccolo unleashes the Hyper Explosive Demon Wave, leveling the entire island. Goku survives and batters the weakened Piccolo with a Super Kamehameha, but Piccolo fires a Mouth Energy Wave that blasts a hole clean through Goku's chest.

With every limb broken and a hole in his chest, Goku launches himself skyward at the last instant, headbutting Piccolo for a ring-out victory. Healed by a Senzu Bean, Goku shocks everyone by feeding one to Piccolo, then declines Kami's offer to become Guardian and flies off with Chi-Chi.

Goku and Chi-Chi arrive at the Ox-King's castle for wedding preparations, but flames erupt from the ground and engulf the castle with the Ox-King trapped inside protecting Chi-Chi's mother's wedding dress. A quest for the legendary Bansho Fan begins.

Goku and Chi-Chi search for the Fire-Eater bird on volcanic Mount Kiwi, hoping its feathers can create a new Bansho Fan. The Pilaf Gang returns with plans to steal the last Fire-Eater egg, but a volcanic eruption hatches the bird and foils everyone's plans.

Goku and Chi-Chi travel to snowy Mount Frappe to find the Bansho Fan. While Goku battles the Pilaf Gang on the mountain, Chi-Chi discovers the actual fan in an old woman's garden. But when they return to Fire Mountain, even the legendary fan cannot extinguish the flames.

With the Bansho Fan useless, Fortuneteller Baba sends Goku and Chi-Chi to the Magical Furnace in the Dark World to find its guardian. After surviving illusions and monsters, Goku reunites with his beloved Grandpa Gohan and meets the furnace keeper, Annin.

Annin and Goku devise a plan to repair the Magical Furnace without destroying it. Using the Bansho Fan and ingredients Chi-Chi collected along the way, Goku descends into the furnace and seals the leak. The fire dies, the Ox-King survives, and Goku and Chi-Chi finally get married.

In the Demon Realm, the newly crowned King Gomah discovers the Earth's Dragon Balls and hatches a scheme to neutralize Goku and his allies. Traveling to Earth with his cohorts, Gomah uses Shenron to transform all of Buu's former opponents into children.

After learning Shenron grants only one wish to first-time users, Gomah abandons his second goal and kidnaps Dende before retreating to the Demon Realm. Goku reclaims his Power Pole and sets off with Shin and a mysterious demon named Glorio.

Goku, Shin, and Glorio pass through the Sir Warp transit system and arrive in the Third Demon World for the first time. They explore a land of heavy air and hostile locals, eventually finding their plane stolen overnight after a rowdy evening at a bar.

Forced to travel on foot, Goku's group battles flying beasts and giant demons while picking up unique Demon Realm supplies from a tea shop. After encountering the oppressive Gendarmerie in a nearby town, Goku rescues a masked rebel and becomes a fugitive.

The masked rebel turns out to be Panzy, the princess of the Third Demon World and daughter of King Kadan. At Kadan Castle, Goku proves his strength to the skeptical king, who provides the group with a plane and sends an envoy to guide Vegeta's party.

The crash landing turns out to be minor, but the heavy cargo must be reduced before liftoff. During a layover, Goku and Glorio engage in a sparring match that reveals the mercenary's lightning-based abilities, though Goku's Super Saiyan form proves superior.

Bulma discovers Shin's ship needs a rare Demon Realm mineral, but Hybis arrives just in time to ferry the second group. Meanwhile, Goku's party dodges the Gendarmerie again and Shin removes Panzy's tracking collar before they reach the Third Demon World's Tamagami.

Goku challenges Tamagami Number Three and pushes through to Super Saiyan 2 to claim victory. Meanwhile, Dr. Arinsu visits the witch Marba to create a new creature using a fragment of Majin Buu, revealing her ambition to overthrow Gomah and rule the Demon Realm.

Two demon bandits steal the Dragon Ball at a hotel, but Goku and Glorio track them down and recover it quickly. The groups finally rendezvous in the Third Demon World, while Dr. Arinsu's new creation, the formidable Majin Duu, takes its first breath.

Majin Kuu challenges Tamagami Number One but is soundly defeated. Goku's expanded group enters the Second Demon World, battles Gendarmerie forces and a Kraken, and takes refuge on the abandoned Demon Realm Namek where Shin reveals the origin of the Kais.

The legendary Namekian Neva joins Goku's party after revealing he is needed to speak the wish in Namekian. Vegeta challenges Tamagami Number Two in the Second Demon World while Dr. Arinsu creates an even stronger warrior, Majin Duu, from Buu's essence.

Vegeta achieves Super Saiyan 3 for the first time and conquers Tamagami Number Two, while Majin Duu defeats Tamagami Number One in the First Demon World. With two Dragon Balls secured by the heroes and one by Arinsu's forces, the final leg of the quest begins.

Gomah orders the Sir Warp disabled to block the heroes' advance. A crash landing strands the group on Planet Mega, a world where everything is enormous, forcing them to survive encounters with giant hamsters, a colossal dog, and a Megath child.

Goku's party reaches the Sir Warp only to find it shut down on Gomah's orders. Neva dispels his own ancient barrier around the Demon Realm Tunnel, revealing that he sealed the passage long ago to protect the Second Demon World from invaders. Meanwhile, Gomah assembles the flamboyant Gendarmerie Force to defend the palace.

Gomah orders a full assault on the newly arrived heroes. Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo battle waves of Gendarmerie soldiers across the First Demon World while the dark history of the Evil Third Eye is revealed. Hybis unknowingly trades the artifact away, and King Kadan arrives with reinforcements just in time to turn the tide.

With the Gendarmerie military defeated, Goku's team storms the Demon King's Palace to rescue Dende. Vegeta single-handedly dismantles the elite Gendarmerie Force while Degesu's secret ambitions are exposed. The final Tamagami's Dragon Ball is already gone, and Gomah gets his hands on the Evil Third Eye.

Dr. Arinsu proposes a one-on-one duel for ownership of all three Demon Realm Dragon Balls. Goku faces Majin Duu in an intense battle, but their fight is interrupted when Gomah emerges from the palace with the Evil Third Eye. Armed with devastating new power, Gomah overwhelms every fighter who challenges him until Goku reaches Super Saiyan 3.

Super Saiyan 3 Goku finally deals real damage to Gomah, and Majin Duu copies the form through mimicry to press the advantage even further. When those efforts fall short, Neva draws out Goku's dormant potential, unlocking Super Saiyan 4 for the first time. But Gomah's Third Eye pushes him into a colossal giant state, and Dr. Arinsu sets a plan in motion involving the Demon Realm Dragon.

Glorio's wish restores everyone to their adult bodies, and Vegeta wastes no time claiming the next fight against Gomah. While Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta dominates the battered Demon King, Dr. Arinsu discovers the Evil Third Eye's critical weakness. After Bulma delivers an ultimatum that terrifies Vegeta more than any enemy, Goku steps in and reveals adult Super Saiyan 4.

Adult Super Saiyan 4 Goku faces Gomah in a climactic final battle. His Transcendent Power Kamehameha blasts a hole through both Demon Worlds, but the Third Eye keeps restoring Gomah. In the end, an unlikely hero dislodges the artifact, and the Demon Realm crowns a surprising new Supreme Demon King before the group heads home with one last shocking discovery.

Emperor Pilaf's bumbling return to the Lookout leads to a catastrophic accident when he inadvertently wishes Goku back into a child using the Black Star Dragon Balls. With the powerful spheres now scattered across the universe, King Kai delivers an urgent warning: if they are not recovered within one year, Earth will be destroyed.

As Bulma and the others build a spaceship to retrieve the Black Star Dragon Balls, young Pan feels left out and dismissed. When launch day arrives, she stows away on board and blasts off into space with Goku and Trunks, accidentally leaving Goten behind on Earth.

A damaged stabilizer forces the Grand Tour Spaceship to crash-land on planet Imecka, a world ruled by greed and exploitation. After being swindled at every turn, the trio loses both their Dragon Radar to a small robot and their entire ship to the Imeckian Army.

Now fugitives on Imecka, Goku, Trunks, and Pan mount a nighttime raid on Don Kee's fortress to reclaim their stolen spaceship. They succeed in escaping, but Pan's rough piloting causes additional damage, and the trio soon discovers they are at the top of Imecka's most wanted list.

Fed up with Don Kee's oppression of Imecka's citizens, Goku, Trunks, and Pan surrender to the police on purpose so they can confront the tyrant directly. After Trunks falls to Don Kee's bodyguard Ledgic, Goku taps into Super Saiyan power for the first time in GT to settle the fight.

On the oversized planet Monmaasu, the team tracks their first Black Star Dragon Ball only to watch it get swallowed by a giant along with an apple. Goku must venture inside the giant's mouth and blast the ball free from a rotten tooth using a Kamehameha.

On planet Gelbo, a terrifying monster named Zoonama demands a bride from a helpless village. The team offers to handle the problem in exchange for a Black Star Dragon Ball embedded in a villager's hair, but the plan requires Trunks to dress up as the monster's bride.

Deep inside Zoonama's volcanic lair, Trunks maintains his bridal disguise long enough for the team to drug the monster and cut one of his whiskers. When a real volcanic eruption threatens everyone's lives, Goku destroys the volcano itself with a Kamehameha, but a mysterious stranger steals the Dragon Ball.

Goku, Trunks, and Pan chase the Para Brothers across space to recover their stolen Dragon Ball, only to be lured into a maze of caves on the rocky planet Beehay. The brothers deliver the sphere to Cardinal Mutchy Mutchy on Planet Luud and are sent back to steal a second one.

Trapped on Beehay with giant worms and the scheming Para Brothers, Goku and the team survive both threats only for the Para Brothers to unleash their secret weapon: the Para Para Boogie, a hypnotic dance that leaves the Saiyans helpless. Pan is accidentally launched toward Planet Luud alone.

Pan arrives on Planet Luud alone and fights her way to the Six-Star Dragon Ball, but Cardinal Mutchy Mutchy transforms her into a doll before she can escape. Goku and Trunks arrive to face the Cardinal, destroying him only to discover that his whip conceals an even deadlier true form.

Mutchy reveals his true form and proves himself a formidable foe, forcing Goku to go Super Saiyan. While the Saiyans battle, Dolltaki manipulates the Luud cult into sacrificing themselves to awaken the colossal Machine Mutant Lord Luud.

Goku and Trunks face the awakened Lord Luud, a colossal Machine Mutant with raw power but poor technique. Behind the scenes, the mysterious Dr. Myuu is revealed as the true mastermind, and he orders Dolltaki to sacrifice Pan to bring Luud to full operating capacity.

With Pan trapped inside Lord Luud alongside Dolltaki and the Para Brothers, the key to defeating the giant lies in a perfectly synchronized attack from both inside and outside. Goku and Pan must strike Luud's core cell at the exact same moment to bring the Machine Mutant down.

On the scorching desert planet Rudeeze, Pan storms off alone after feeling unwanted by the team. Nearly dying of dehydration, she is saved by Giru, who also recovers the Five-Star Dragon Ball. Meanwhile, Dolltaki returns to Planet M-2 where General Rilldo executes him for his failures.

When the Grand Tour Spaceship passes near Planet M-2, Giru's homeworld, the team decides to make a stop. It quickly becomes clear that Giru has been working for General Rilldo all along, luring the Saiyans and their Dragon Balls into a trap. The Sigma Force captures Goku and Trunks, leaving Pan alone and betrayed.

With Goku and Trunks imprisoned in capsule chambers on Planet M-2, Pan disguises herself as a robot to infiltrate the machine base. She discovers a group of defective robots with genuine emotions, then destroys the Sigma Force member Natt using a technique the machines had never seen before.

Goku wakes up and challenges the three remaining Sigma Force members to battle. Despite having all his combat data downloaded, the machines cannot keep up when Goku stops holding back. He destroys the combined Super Mega Cannon Sigma with a Kamehameha, but General Rilldo's massive power is already heading for Trunks and Pan.

General Rilldo arrives at the Grand Tour Spaceship and proves nearly indestructible. Pan lands a surprise blow that does nothing, and Rilldo retaliates by turning Trunks into solid metal with his Metal Breath. Goku goes Super Saiyan while Rilldo absorbs the Sigma Force to become the terrifying Hyper-Meta Rilldo.

Hyper-Meta Rilldo reveals his most terrifying ability: he can control every piece of metal on Planet M-2 as a weapon. Goku fights at full Super Saiyan power but finds himself trapped by metallic trees, buildings, and terrain that bend to Rilldo's will. Meanwhile, Pan repeatedly infiltrates a fortress to confront the traitorous Giru.

General Rilldo traps both Goku and Pan in metal plates and delivers them to Dr. Myuu's laboratory. Giru reveals his loyalty by freeing the Saiyans, and Trunks exposes a deeper deception, leading the group to uncover Dr. Myuu's ultimate secret creation.

The Saiyans force Dr. Myuu to reveal Baby, his ultimate creation. Trunks sabotages Baby's life support, but the parasite proves far too powerful to be contained. After seemingly destroying Baby, the creature secretly survives by hiding inside Dr. Myuu before killing him.

After destroying General Rilldo, the crew picks up a Dragon Ball signal from a derelict starship drifting toward a sun. They board the vessel, recover the One-Star Ball, and rescue a mysterious green boy before escaping. On Planet Pital, Baby secretly reveals himself inside the boy.

On Planet Pital, Baby hides inside the green boy and plots to divide and conquer the Saiyans. He possesses the hospital doctor and lures Trunks into a trap, briefly infiltrating his body before being expelled. Baby escapes into a crowd and hijacks a spaceship bound for Earth.

While Goku's crew recovers a Dragon Ball on Planet Tigere, Baby arrives on Earth. Vegeta shaves his mustache at Bulla's insistence, and Goten goes on a date with Valese in Satan City. When Baby-possessed humans attack, Goten fights them off, leading to a direct confrontation with the parasite.

Baby possesses Goten after their battle in Satan City, then heads to Capsule Corporation hunting for Vegeta. He provokes Gohan into going Super Saiyan and jumps bodies again. Piccolo arrives to help but is blasted by Baby Gohan, who now sets his sights on the Saiyan prince.

Baby Gohan confronts Vegeta on the road while Bulla is shopping. The Tuffle parasite reveals his origin and his vendetta against the Saiyan bloodline. Vegeta overpowers Gohan in combat, but Goten arrives as backup and creates the opening Baby needs to invade Vegeta's body permanently.

Goku, Pan, and Trunks return to Earth with the Black Star Dragon Balls, unaware that Baby has infected nearly everyone on the planet. Mr. Satan and Majin Buu are the only free allies remaining. When Baby Vegeta finally reveals himself, Goku must face the horrifying reality that his entire family has been turned against him.

Goku faces Baby Vegeta alone after sending Majin Buu away with Pan and Mr. Satan. He ascends to Super Saiyan 3 but discovers his child body cannot sustain the form. Baby absorbs power from the infected Saiyans and the negative energy of all humanity, evolving into Super Baby Vegeta 2 and unleashing the Revenge Death Ball.

Goku awakens in a mysterious dimension where he must win a board game against Sugoro or die. Meanwhile, Baby Vegeta uses the Black Star Dragon Balls to wish a new Planet Plant into existence. Pan watches helplessly as the Tuffles begin migrating to their new world.

Goku exposes Sugoro's cheating and escapes the collapsing Sugoroku Space with help from Kibito Kai. At the Sacred World of the Kai, he learns Baby has migrated everyone to a new Tuffle Planet. On Planet Plant, Pan and Mr. Satan infiltrate the population inside Majin Buu, and Uub arrives to confront Baby.

Uub battles Baby Vegeta on Planet Plant and initially gains the upper hand. On the Sacred World of the Kai, Old Kai begins pulling out Goku's regrowing tail. When Baby overwhelms Uub with the Revenge Death Ball, Majin Buu absorbs the attack and merges with Uub to create Majuub.

Majuub fights Baby Vegeta and turns bystanders into chocolate to clear the battlefield. On the Sacred World of the Kai, Goku finally gets his tail pulled out. He arrives on Planet Plant just in time to witness Baby turning Majuub into chocolate and eating him. Goku transforms into a Golden Great Ape.

Goku's Golden Great Ape form overpowers Baby Vegeta but rampages out of control. Old Kai reveals that if Goku can regain his humanity, he will achieve Super Saiyan 4. Pan reaches her grandfather through memories and a treasured family photo, triggering his final transformation.

Goku completes his transformation into Super Saiyan 4, returning to adult form with power that dwarfs Baby Vegeta. He dominates the Tuffle parasite in combat until Bulma activates a Blutz Wave Generator, forcing Baby Vegeta to transform into a Golden Great Ape of his own.

Golden Great Ape Baby Vegeta goes on a rampage, pretending to lose control before revealing it was all a sadistic act. Super Saiyan 4 Goku protects the Tuffle civilians and blocks a Super Galick Gun aimed at Earth. Goku's 10x Kamehameha fails to scratch Baby, who retaliates with a direct hit.

A delayed 10x Kamehameha knocks down Golden Great Ape Baby Vegeta, evening the battlefield. Kibito Kai retrieves the Sacred Water from Kami's Lookout and uses it to free Dende, Mr. Popo, and Trunks from Baby's control. Bulma recharges Baby with the Blutz Wave Generator while Goku bluffs about his remaining strength.

With Goku critically weakened, Pan, Trunks, Gohan, and Goten rally to pour their Saiyan energy into him. Majuub fights Baby from the inside to buy time. Fully recharged, Goku achieves Super Full Power Saiyan 4 and prepares for the decisive clash with Golden Great Ape Baby Vegeta.

Super Full Power Saiyan 4 Goku absorbs Baby's ultimate Revenge Death Ball Final and channels its energy into a devastating 10x Kamehameha. He removes Baby's tail to force the parasite out of Vegeta, then blasts Baby into the sun. The Sacred Water frees Earth's population, but the Black Star Dragon Balls have restarted the planet's destruction countdown.

With Earth set to explode in two weeks, Vegeta organizes an evacuation to Planet Plant. Piccolo stays behind on purpose, sacrificing himself so that his death will permanently destroy the Black Star Dragon Balls. After Earth explodes, Grand Elder Moori uses the Namekian Dragon Balls to restore it.

The 30th World Martial Arts Tournament kicks off with Goku stuck in the junior division thanks to Mr. Satan's height rule scheme. Pan forfeits to avoid following in Satan's footsteps, Vegeta crashes the event seeking a real fight, and Majuub throws his championship match to let the beloved champion keep his belt.

A rift tears open between Earth and Hell, unleashing waves of defeated villains back into the living world. Dr. Gero and Dr. Myuu reveal their alliance and their creation, Hell Fighter 17, while luring Goku into a trap that leaves him stranded in the underworld facing Frieza and Cell.

Goku squares off against Frieza and Cell in the depths of Hell, turning their own techniques against them with style. On the surface, the Z Fighters battle escaped villains across multiple fronts, while Hell Fighter 17 begins calling out to Android 17 to complete their merger.

Krillin falls at the hands of Android 17, while Goku breaks free from his icy prison in Hell and freezes Cell and Frieza in return. The two Android 17s merge into Super 17, an unstoppable force that overwhelms every Z Fighter on Earth. Piccolo hatches a bold plan to reach Hell and help Goku escape.

Piccolo and Dende attempt to link their energy across dimensions to open a gateway out of Hell for Goku. On Earth, Super 17 continues to dominate every Z Fighter who challenges him, until Pan captures Dr. Gero and forces a standoff that exposes the fractures in the villains' alliance.

Goku battles Super 17 as a Super Saiyan but discovers that the android absorbs every energy attack thrown at him, growing stronger with each blast. Forced to escalate, Goku ascends to Super Saiyan 4, determined to find a weakness in an enemy that feeds on his own power.

Goku turns himself into a living bomb to stop Super 17, but the android survives. Android 18 arrives to avenge Krillin, and her relentless assault reveals Super 17's fatal weakness: he cannot defend while absorbing energy. Goku exploits the opening with a Dragon Fist that ends the Super 17 Saga.

The cracked Dragon Balls produce Black Smoke Shenron instead of the familiar dragon. He swallows all seven balls and disperses seven Shadow Dragons across the Earth. Old Kai reveals that decades of overusing the Dragon Balls created a critical mass of negative energy, and Goku sets out with Pan and Giru to hunt them down.

Goku and Pan face Haze Shenron, the Two-Star Dragon, whose pollution-based powers drain their strength the longer they fight near his toxic lake. After being thrown into the poisoned water, they discover a pure underground spring that restores them and fire a combined Kamehameha to obliterate the weakest Shadow Dragon.

Goku and Pan find Rage Shenron, the Five-Star Dragon, in an abandoned city. Tiny but dangerous, this dragon commands electrified slime that can absorb and redirect even a Super Saiyan 4's Kamehameha. A timely rainstorm short-circuits his slime body, giving Goku the opening to destroy him.

Oceanus Shenron, the Six-Star Dragon, rules a fishing village disguised as the benevolent Princess Otto. Her mastery over wind and water proves formidable until Goku cracks the secret of her spinning technique. A brave seagull and Pan's first solo Kamehameha expose the dragon's true form, letting Goku finish her off.

Naturon Shenron, the Seven-Star Dragon, appears as a tone-deaf mole obsessed with earthquakes. After Goku and Pan defeat his borrowed body, the cunning dragon reveals his true ability: possession. He absorbs Pan through his Dragon Ball, transforming into a far more powerful creature with plans to eventually take over a Super Saiyan 4.

With Pan trapped inside Naturon Shenron, Goku must choose between destroying the dragon and killing his granddaughter. He transforms into Super Saiyan 4 and fires a held-back 10x Kamehameha, then pretends to give up. When the overconfident dragon partially releases Pan to taunt him, Goku seizes the moment and pulls her free.

With four Dragon Balls recovered, Goku and Pan face Nuova Shenron, the Four-Star Dragon of Fire. His body reaches temperatures hotter than the sun, making physical attacks dangerous. When Pan is knocked out, Nuova spares her life, hinting at an honor code unlike any previous Shadow Dragon. Meanwhile, a second dragon lurks in the shadows.

Vegeta reflects on a lifetime of being second to Goku, reviewing every battle where he thought he had surpassed his rival only to fall behind again. With Bulma's help, he discovers a path to Super Saiyan 4, setting the stage for the Saiyan Prince's final transformation.

Super Saiyan 4 Goku and Nuova Shenron push each other to the limit in a high-speed battle of fire and ki. When Goku finally gains the upper hand and spares Nuova's life, Eis Shenron, the Three-Star Dragon, arrives to blindside both of them. The ice dragon freezes Goku limb by limb, but Nuova refuses to finish him off.

Goku defeats the cowardly Eis Shenron after being blinded by ice claws, relying on his remaining senses to deliver a fatal Dragon Fist. Nuova Shenron offers Goku an antidote, but the honorable fire dragon is killed from behind by Syn Shenron, the One-Star Dragon and the most powerful Shadow Dragon of all.

The Z Fighters rally around a battered Goku and channel their Saiyan energy into him, pushing him beyond Super Saiyan 4 into a new state: Super Full Power Saiyan 4. Even blinded, Goku dominates Syn Shenron until the desperate dragon devours all seven Dragon Balls and transforms into the terrifying Omega Shenron.

Omega Shenron wields the abilities of all seven Shadow Dragons and pushes Goku to the brink of self-destruction. Vegeta arrives with Bulma's Blutz Wave Generator, transforms through Great Ape and Golden Great Ape into Super Saiyan 4, and proposes fusion as the only way to overcome the ultimate dragon.

Goku and Vegeta perform the Fusion Dance as Super Saiyan 4s, creating the overwhelmingly powerful Gogeta. He toys with Omega Shenron, purges the Earth's negative energy, and nearly destroys the dragon with his Big Bang Kamehameha. But the fusion ends far sooner than expected, leaving the fight unfinished.

Goku swallows the Four-Star Dragon Ball to keep Omega Shenron from reclaiming it, nearly choking in the process. The two Saiyans attempt the Fusion Dance multiple times, but Omega keeps interrupting. When Goku finally loses all his energy and reverts to child form, the Dragon Ball reappears on his forehead.

Nuova Shenron re-emerges from the Dragon Ball on Goku's forehead, carrying positive energy from within the Saiyan. He and Goku team up against Omega Shenron, and Nuova traps the ultimate dragon in a fireball meant to destroy them both. But Omega turns the tables from the inside, absorbing Nuova and reclaiming all seven Dragon Balls.

Omega Shenron launches a Negative Karma Ball to destroy Earth, and Goku holds it back with his bare hands, vowing to never use the Dragon Balls again. After surviving the explosion, Goku channels energy from every living being in the universe into a Super Ultra Spirit Bomb that obliterates Omega Shenron. The original Shenron appears unbidden.

Shenron appears unbidden, heals Goku, and grants one final wish to revive everyone killed by Super 17 and the Shadow Dragons. Goku climbs onto Shenron's back for one last journey, visiting Krillin, Piccolo, and old friends before the Dragon Balls merge with his body and he vanishes. A century later, his legacy lives on.

Peace reigns after Kid Buu's defeat, but Goku yearns to train while Chi-Chi forces him into farming. Mr. Satan delivers 100 million zeni out of guilt, giving Goku the freedom to resume his training on King Kai's planet.

Goku begins training under King Kai's gravity while Vegeta honors a promise by taking Bulma and Trunks on vacation. Across the cosmos, Beerus destroys planet Mogina and recalls the prophecy of the Super Saiyan God.

Beerus consults the Oracle Fish, who confirms the prophecy of the Super Saiyan God. Learning that Saiyans now live on Earth, Beerus sets course for King Kai's planet while Bulma's birthday cruise sets sail with the whole gang aboard.

The Pilaf Gang stumbles onto Bulma's cruise ship while hunting Dragon Balls. On King Kai's planet, Goku accidentally learns about Beerus just moments before the Destroyer arrives at his doorstep.

Goku challenges Beerus after blowing his cover on King Kai's world. Cycling through Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 2, and Super Saiyan 3, Goku throws everything he has at the Destroyer, only to be defeated in two decisive blows.

Beerus and Whis crash Bulma's birthday party, and a terrified Vegeta must keep the Destroyer happy at all costs. Things spiral when Good Buu refuses to share his pudding, igniting a confrontation that no one on the ship can handle.

Earth's fighters throw everything at Beerus and fail. Gotenks, Piccolo, Android 18, Tien, Gohan, all fall in seconds. But when Beerus strikes Bulma, Vegeta's fury erupts into the most powerful Super Saiyan 2 transformation ever witnessed.

Vegeta's rage-fueled assault briefly catches Beerus off guard, but the Destroyer remains unscathed. After Oolong loses a rock-paper-scissors gamble for Earth's survival, Goku arrives via Instant Transmission with a final plan: summon Shenron.

Shenron reveals that a Super Saiyan God requires five righteous Saiyans to pour their hearts into a sixth. With only four available, all hope seems lost until Videl reveals she is carrying Gohan's child. The ritual succeeds, and Goku is reborn in crimson.

Goku takes his new Super Saiyan God form for a test drive against Beerus. After a rocky start adjusting to his lighter, divine body, Goku begins matching the Destroyer blow for blow. Both fighters admit they have been holding back, and the real battle begins.

Beerus pushes Goku to his limits, crashing him through islands and into the sea. A devastating strike through the chest appears to end it, but Goku heals his own injuries through sheer willpower and emerges ready to fight at full power.

Goku and Beerus clash fists with such force that their shockwaves begin tearing the universe apart. Old Kai warns that two or three more collisions will reduce everything to an empty void. Goku must learn to perfectly cancel Beerus' attacks or all of reality will cease to exist.

Beerus nullifies the universe-threatening beam clash by using 100% of his power. When Goku's Super Saiyan God time runs out mid-fight, he reverts to regular Super Saiyan but discovers that divine power has permanently merged with his body.

Goku burns through his last reserves of Super Saiyan power against Beerus, destroying a massive energy sphere with a single punch before collapsing. Beerus falls asleep before he can destroy Earth, and Whis reveals the god was holding back all along.

Mr. Satan holds a press conference to claim credit for defeating Beerus, only for alien visitors called Snackians to arrive and demand a sparring match. A fortunate canine phobia saves the day.

Vegeta discovers that Whis is Beerus's martial arts teacher and resolves to win him over with food. After every restaurant fails, a humble cup of instant ramen secures Vegeta's ticket to Beerus's planet.

Baby Pan arrives, Krillin is revealed to be a police officer, and Goku spends weeks pestering Bulma for a chance to train with Whis. Chi-Chi tries to stop him, but Goku grabs onto Whis and rockets into space.

Goku joins Vegeta for grueling chores and combat drills under Whis on Beerus's planet. The angel introduces the concept of autonomous body movement while, in deep space, the mysterious Champa and Vados destroy planets in search of something.

Sorbet and Tagoma travel to Earth and use the Dragon Balls to resurrect Frieza, who has endured a personalized hell of cheerful stuffed animals and parade music. The tyrant is restored to his fragmented body and immediately rebuilt.

Frieza vows revenge and spends four months training to unlock his latent potential. Jaco warns Bulma of the incoming invasion, and the Z Fighters scramble to assemble as Frieza's fleet of a thousand soldiers darkens the sky.

The Z Fighters engage Frieza's thousand-soldier army while Goku and Vegeta train in a separate dimension. Tagoma reveals himself as a hardened warrior, and his sneak attack mortally wounds both Shisami and Gohan in a single blast.

Captain Ginyu steals Tagoma's body using a cleverly written message and rejoins Frieza's side. After overpowering the Z Fighters, Ginyu pushes Gohan into going Super Saiyan, which provokes Frieza into firing Death Beams. Piccolo takes a fatal blast to protect Gohan.

With Piccolo dead and Gohan broken, Bulma desperately contacts Whis. Goku locks onto Gohan's Super Saiyan energy for Instant Transmission, arriving just in time to deflect Frieza's killing blow. Vegeta eliminates Ginyu, and Frieza powers up to his final form.

Goku and Frieza finally square off one-on-one. After an intense exchange in their base forms, Goku unveils Super Saiyan Blue for the first time, a transformation that fuses Super Saiyan power with the energy of a god.

Frieza unveils Golden Frieza, a gleaming new evolution that overwhelms Goku's Super Saiyan Blue in a furious exchange. Beerus and Whis arrive after a tense encounter with the mysterious Champa and Vados, content to watch from the sidelines while eating parfait.

Goku discovers that Golden Frieza's power is draining rapidly because the form was never properly mastered. After turning the fight around with a decisive punch, Goku drops his guard and is shot through the chest by Sorbet's ray gun.

Vegeta unleashes Super Saiyan Blue against a weakened Frieza, only for the tyrant to destroy Earth in a final act of spite. Whis reverses time three minutes, giving Goku the opening to obliterate Frieza with a point-blank Kamehameha and close the book on the Golden Frieza saga.

Champa, the God of Destruction from Universe 6, crashes onto Beerus's planet with his attendant Vados. After a tense food rivalry and a brief brawl, Champa proposes a five-on-five tournament between their universes, with Earth as the grand prize.

Beerus and Champa finalize the tournament rules, choosing the Nameless Planet as the venue. Bulma builds the Super Dragon Radar, summons Shenron for help, and recruits Jaco for a mission to locate the final Super Dragon Ball before the gods can wish on them.

Goku and Vegeta assemble their tournament roster, recruiting Buu and Piccolo as the final two members. After a comedic misunderstanding with Krillin, the Saiyans head into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for three years of training before the big event.

Bulma and Jaco travel to the planet of the all-knowing Zuno to gather intelligence on the Super Dragon Balls. After wasting two of her three questions, Bulma learns the orbs are planet-sized and scattered across Universes 6 and 7.

Goku and Vegeta emerge from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with beards and three years of sparring behind them. The full entourage travels to the Nameless Planet, where Goku meets Monaka, the Universe 6 fighters are revealed, and Buu fails the written exam.

Goku opens the tournament by outsmarting the damage-immune Botamo with a ring-out, then faces Frost, Universe 6's polite counterpart to Frieza. After dominating in Super Saiyan, Goku inexplicably collapses and is knocked from the ring.

Piccolo faces Frost in a calculated battle built around the Special Beam Cannon, only to be felled by the same mysterious ailment that downed Goku. Jaco exposes Frost's hidden poison needle, and the so-called hero is revealed as a ruthless crime lord.

Vegeta demolishes Frost with a single Super Saiyan punch, then faces the lava-spewing Metalman Auta Magetta inside a sealed barrier. As oxygen drops and temperatures soar, Vegeta's stamina drains rapidly in what becomes the tournament's most grueling endurance fight.

Trapped in a superheated barrier with dwindling oxygen, Vegeta is pushed to his absolute limit against Auta Magetta. After nearly losing by ring-out, he shatters the barrier, unleashes the Final Flash, and wins with a well-placed insult.

Vegeta faces Cabba, the Saiyan from Universe 6 who cannot transform. Through calculated cruelty and threats against Planet Sadala, Vegeta pushes Cabba to unlock Super Saiyan, then reveals it was all a lesson before finishing the match with Super Saiyan Blue.

Hit, Universe 6's legendary assassin, systematically dismantles Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta using an invisible technique called Time-Skip. Goku steps in next and begins deciphering the ability by predicting Hit's movements 0.1 seconds into the future.

Goku unveils his secret weapon against Hit: Super Saiyan Blue combined with Kaio-ken, a fusion so dangerous it carried a ninety percent chance of killing him. The multiplied power lets Goku surpass Hit's growing Time-Skip, culminating in a colossal energy collision.

The Universe 6 versus 7 tournament concludes with Goku voluntarily stepping out of the ring to give Hit a fair fight another day. Hit returns the gesture by throwing his match against Monaka, handing Universe 7 the victory just before Zeno, the King of All, makes his first appearance.

The Omni-King Zeno makes his first shocking appearance, announcing a future tournament of all twelve universes. Beerus secretly uses the Super Dragon Balls to restore Universe 6's Earth, while Monaka is revealed to be an ordinary deliveryman.

At the victory party, Beerus goes to absurd lengths to hide that Monaka is actually weak, even disguising himself in a Monaka costume and fighting Goku in one of the funniest episodes in the series.

After overexerting himself with Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken, Goku loses control of his ki and must babysit baby Pan while recovering. The infant's hidden Saiyan potential leads to an unexpected adventure with the Pilaf Gang.

Goten and Trunks accidentally stow away in Monaka's delivery truck and end up on Planet Potaufeu, where a criminal named Gryll unseals the dangerous Commeson. Vegeta arrives to rescue them but is absorbed by the entity, creating Duplicate Vegeta.

With Vegeta fading from existence, Gotenks takes on Duplicate Vegeta but is hopelessly outmatched. Goku arrives just in time via Instant Transmission and begins a death match against the copy, who refuses to absorb opponents because he inherited Vegeta's warrior pride.

Goku and Duplicate Vegeta clash at full power, both ascending to Super Saiyan Blue. When Monaka accidentally crushes the Commeson's core, Goku seizes the opening to obliterate the copy with a God Kamehameha, saving Vegeta just in time.

In the devastated alternate timeline, Future Trunks and Future Bulma struggle to fuel a time machine while a mysterious enemy called "Black" hunts them. Future Bulma is killed, and the shadowy attacker is revealed to bear Goku's face.

Future Trunks escapes Goku Black by barely making it into the Time Machine and travels back to the present. Upon awakening at Capsule Corporation and seeing Goku, he attacks him, mistaking him for the enemy who destroyed his world.

Future Trunks explains Goku Black's rampage to the Z Fighters and spars with Goku to measure their enemy's strength. Just as they finish, a time portal opens and Goku Black himself steps through into the present timeline.

Goku battles Goku Black in the present timeline at Super Saiyan 2, but Black grows stronger with every blow. When the time distortion corrects itself and pulls Black back to the future, he destroys the Time Machine as a parting act of cruelty.

While Bulma repairs the old Time Machine, Future Trunks tells Mai about the resistance fighters in his devastated timeline and the woman who led them: her future self. Beerus and Whis sense something familiar about Goku Black's ki.

Future Trunks visits Gohan and is moved to see his fallen mentor's counterpart living peacefully as a scholar and father. Meanwhile, Whis analyzes Goku Black's ki and identifies a suspect in Universe 10, prompting Goku and the gods to investigate.

Goku, Beerus, and Whis travel to Universe 10's Sacred World of the Kai to meet Zamasu, a fighting prodigy with a deep hatred of mortals. After sparring with him, Goku and the gods confirm that Zamasu's ki matches Goku Black's.

Future Trunks spars with his father, witnessing Super Saiyan Blue for the first time, while Gowasu and Zamasu travel through time to observe the Babarians. The episode ends with a shocking summons from Grand Zeno himself.

Goku visits Grand Zeno at his palace and earns a special summoning button, while Zamasu kills a Babarian against Gowasu's wishes. The team then departs for the future in the repaired Time Machine.

The Saiyans return to the alternate future and reconnect with the resistance. Vegeta battles Goku Black, who unveils Super Saiyan Rose before defeating both Saiyans. The episode ends with Future Zamasu arriving on the battlefield.

Goku and Future Trunks battle the combined might of Goku Black and Future Zamasu, who reveals his immortal body. After a crushing defeat, the heroes barely escape to the present, while Zamasu begins researching the Super Dragon Balls.

As universes across the multiverse scramble to finalize their rosters, Universe 7 receives devastating news: Buu has fallen into a deep hibernation and will not wake up for two months, leaving the team one member short.

With Buu in deep hibernation, Universe 7 scrambles to find a tenth team member. Caulifla becomes the first female Super Saiyan in Universe 6, the truth about erasure reaches the full team, and Goku shocks everyone by proposing Frieza as their final fighter.

With Team Universe 7 one member short, Goku proposes the unthinkable: recruiting Frieza from Hell. While his allies reel from the suggestion, the Saiyans of Universe 6 discover Kale's explosive hidden power, and a rival universe begins scheming from the shadows.

Frieza's temporary resurrection puts Team Universe 7 on edge as the squad assembles at Capsule Corporation. Across the multiverse, Gods of Destruction hatch a plot to assassinate Frieza before the tournament begins, sending a squad of killers to Earth.

Frieza unleashes his refined Golden Form against the assassins sent to kill him, demonstrating terrifying new levels of energy control. When the attackers deploy a God of Destruction's own power, Frieza turns it into leverage for a dangerous double-cross.

Team Universe 7 assembles for the final time before departing for the Null Realm. As exempt Gods of Destruction test the arena and all eight competing universes gather on the fighting stage, Goku gets his first look at the mysterious Jiren.

The Tournament of Power officially begins as 80 warriors from eight universes clash on the Kachi Katchin stage. Universe 7 attempts to execute their teamwork strategy, but Goku nearly gets eliminated in the opening minute by a self-sacrificing grappler.

Goku and Vegeta dismantle Universe 9 with ruthless efficiency, culminating in its complete erasure by the Zenos. The first universe to fall serves as a brutal reminder that the stakes are absolute, shaking the resolve of every remaining fighter.

Goku finally confronts Jiren in a battle that escalates through every Super Saiyan form. When even Super Saiyan Blue Kaio-ken x20 falls short, Goku gathers energy from his teammates and launches a massive Spirit Bomb as his last resort.

The Spirit Bomb collapses into a black hole that swallows Goku, and the entire arena believes he has been destroyed. From the explosion emerges a transformed Goku wielding Ultra Instinct Sign, a godly technique that allows him to fight Jiren on equal footing for the first time.

Hit engages Jiren in a solo battle, deploying his full arsenal of time-manipulation techniques including the devastating Time Prison. Despite his strategic brilliance, Hit is ultimately overpowered and eliminated, marking the tournament's halfway point.

Universe 3 launches a coordinated assault on Universe 7 using its modified warriors. When individual attacks fail, Paparoni orders his three fighters to merge into the powerful Koiceareta, but Gohan's determination and a well-timed Kamehameha break through their combined defenses.

Paparoni merges with Koiceareta to form the colossal Agnilasa, whose size and space-warping abilities push all of Universe 7 to their limits. Android 18 sacrifices herself to save her brother, and Android 17's critical strike destroys the giant's energy reactor, leading to Universe 3's erasure.

With only Universes 7 and 11 remaining, Vegeta challenges Jiren directly while Frieza faces Dyspo and Gohan teams with Android 17 against Top. Vegeta's pride and tactical brilliance let him land a blow on Jiren, but a devastating Final Flash proves unable to overcome the Pride Trooper's supreme power.

Goku employs creative tactics including ki landmines and Destructo Discs against Jiren, while Vegeta awakens Super Saiyan God SS Evolved through his promise to Cabba. The two Saiyans fight side by side for the first time, and their uncoordinated styles actually confuse the seemingly unbeatable Pride Trooper.

Dyspo unleashes his Super Maximum Light Speed Mode, overwhelming Golden Frieza with velocity beyond what even the Omni-Kings can track. Gohan and Frieza form an unlikely partnership, with Gohan sacrificing himself inside Frieza's energy cage to ensure Dyspo's elimination from the tournament.

Top abandons his ideals of justice and awakens the Power of Destruction, becoming a God of Destruction in all but title. His devastating new abilities overwhelm both Frieza and Android 17, nullifying their strongest attacks while cloaking himself in impenetrable destructive energy.

Vegeta faces Destroyer Top in a battle that tests the limits of his Saiyan pride. Refusing to abandon his promises to Cabba and his family, Vegeta unleashes a self-destructive Final Explosion that overwhelms even the Power of Destruction, eliminating Top from the tournament.

Jiren unleashes his full power, overwhelming Goku, Vegeta, and Android 17 with a fiery aura of limitless energy. After Belmod reveals Jiren's tragic past of loss and betrayal, Android 17 makes the ultimate sacrifice, self-destructing to shield Goku and Vegeta from annihilation.

Vegeta, unable to even transform, fights Jiren in base form through sheer willpower alone. Driven by visions of Bulma and memories of his promise to Cabba, he endures brutal punishment before donating his remaining energy to Goku and falling from the arena in tears.

Goku pushes Ultra Instinct Sign to its limits against Jiren, but the incomplete form still cannot deliver a decisive blow. Under withering pressure and on the brink of elimination, Goku finally completes the transformation, achieving Perfected Ultra Instinct with radiant silver hair and overwhelming power.

Perfected Ultra Instinct Goku dominates Jiren, forcing the Pride Trooper to break through his own limits in a rage fueled by past trauma. Their final clash pushes both to absolute exhaustion, and when Goku's body fails him at the moment of victory, Frieza and the surviving Android 17 emerge to continue the fight.

Goku, Frieza, and Android 17 combine their remaining strength to push Jiren out of bounds in a triple elimination that crowns 17 as the last fighter standing. His wish on the Super Dragon Balls restores every erased universe, bringing the Tournament of Power to a miraculous conclusion.

Five years after the events of Dragon Ball, a mysterious alien warrior lands on Earth. After brushing aside a terrified farmer, the invader sets out in search of someone called "Kakarot," while Goku enjoys peaceful family life with his young son Gohan.

Goku introduces Gohan to his old friends at Kame House, but the reunion is cut short when the alien warrior Raditz arrives, reveals Goku's Saiyan heritage, and kidnaps Gohan to force his brother into submission.

Goku and Piccolo form an uneasy partnership to rescue Gohan and defeat Raditz. Using Bulma's Dragon Radar to track Gohan's hat, the two rivals fly off to confront a Saiyan warrior stronger than either of them alone.

Raditz overwhelms Goku and Piccolo, destroying Piccolo's arm with a devastating blast. Piccolo reveals a secret technique he needs time to charge, leaving Goku to stall the ruthless Saiyan alone while Gohan stirs inside the space pod.

Gohan's rage unlocks devastating power that wounds Raditz, but it fades as quickly as it appeared. Goku sacrifices himself by trapping Raditz in a Full-Nelson, allowing Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon to kill them both.

In the aftermath of Goku's death, Piccolo claims Gohan for training, Goku begins his journey along the million-kilometer Snake Way in Other World, and the surviving Z Fighters brace for two Saiyans arriving in one year.

Piccolo abandons Gohan in the wilderness for six months of survival training. On Snake Way, Goku nearly falls into Hell. At home, Krillin cannot bring himself to tell Chi-Chi the terrible news about her husband and son.

When the full moon rises, Gohan transforms into a rampaging Great Ape. Piccolo destroys the moon to stop the rampage, removes Gohan's tail, and clothes the unconscious boy in a new outfit before departing for his own training.

Gohan falls into an underground cavern and discovers an ancient robot buried for eighty years. The two form a brief friendship before the robot sacrifices itself to send Gohan back to the surface as the ruins collapse around them.

While traveling Snake Way, Goku stumbles upon the palace of Princess Snake, who tries to seduce him into staying forever. When charm fails, she reveals her true form as a giant serpent and attempts to devour him whole.

Piccolo pushes his training to the limit by splitting himself in two to fight his own clone. Meanwhile, Gohan discovers he is stranded on a deserted island, builds a raft to escape, and is caught in a violent ocean storm.

Gohan washes ashore and is taken in by a group of orphan children led by the resourceful Pigero. After bonding with the group and nearly reaching home, Gohan chooses to return to his training, inspired by the orphans' bravery.

Mr. Popo sends the Z Fighters into the Pendulum Room, where they face two Saiyan warriors in a simulated battle and learn just how outmatched they truly are against the coming threat.

Gohan's tail regrows and triggers a Great Ape transformation during training with Piccolo, while Goku finally reaches the end of Snake Way and meets King Kai and his monkey companion Bubbles.

Goku begins training under King Kai on his high-gravity planet, struggling to catch the speedy monkey Bubbles while Piccolo pushes Gohan harder than ever in the wastelands below.

King Kai reveals the violent history of the Saiyan race to Goku, while the Z Fighters complete their training on the Lookout and Fortuneteller Baba sees no future for Earth.

Goku is wished back to life with the Dragon Balls and races down Snake Way as the Saiyan space pods crash into East City, signaling that the battle for Earth has begun.

Vegeta and Nappa emerge from their pods and obliterate East City. The Z Fighters sense the monstrous energy and converge on the battlefield as Nappa plants six Saibamen seeds in the soil.

The Z Fighters face the Saibamen in a series of one-on-one duels. Tien dominates his opponent, but Yamcha's overconfidence proves fatal when a defeated Saibaman latches onto him and self-destructs.

Krillin annihilates the remaining Saibamen and Nappa enters the fight, severing Tien's arm with a single blow. Chiaotzu sacrifices himself in a desperate attempt to stop the unstoppable Saiyan.

Tien pours his remaining life force into a final Tri-Beam that fails to stop Nappa, dying alongside his best friend. Vegeta grants a three-hour reprieve for Goku to arrive.

Nappa terrorizes Earth's military and destroys cities during the three-hour wait, while Goku arrives at the Check-In Station and races back to Earth with Senzu Beans and the Flying Nimbus.

The tail-grab plan fails when Nappa reveals he has trained past that weakness. Krillin's Destructo Disc nearly kills the brute, but Piccolo ultimately shields Gohan from a lethal blast.

Piccolo dies shielding Gohan from Nappa's blast, taking Kami and the Dragon Balls with him. Goku arrives at the battlefield and overwhelms Nappa with a power level over 8,000.

Goku dominates Nappa with the Kaio-ken technique, breaking his back when the brute targets Gohan and Krillin out of spite. Vegeta then executes his own partner for being a disappointment.

Goku and Vegeta clash in an explosive duel at the Gizard Wasteland. Vegeta's overwhelming power forces Goku to push the Kaio-ken to a dangerous times-three multiplier.

Goku pushes Kaio-ken to times four and overwhelms Vegeta's Galick Gun with a supercharged Kamehameha. The battered prince responds by creating an artificial moon and transforming into a Great Ape.

Nappa's rampage reaches a horrifying peak as Chiaotzu sacrifices himself in a desperate self-destruct attack, only for the Saiyan brute to emerge completely unharmed. With Earth's defenders falling one by one, Piccolo and Krillin launch a surprise counterattack.

Tien channels every last ounce of his life force into a devastating final attack against Nappa, but even this ultimate sacrifice fails to bring down the Saiyan warrior. Vegeta grants a three-hour reprieve, waiting for Goku to arrive.

Krillin holds the Spirit Bomb with Earth's survival resting in his hands. When Vegeta dodges the throw, Gohan bounces it back with a pure heart, striking the Saiyan prince and sending him crashing from the sky.

Gohan transforms into a Great Ape and crushes Vegeta beneath his massive body. As Krillin moves in for the kill, Goku makes a telepathic plea for mercy that changes the course of history, allowing the Saiyan prince to escape Earth alive.

The survivors collect their fallen friends and learn about Planet Namek, where more powerful Dragon Balls could revive everyone. King Kai locates living Namekians, and Krillin produces a stolen Saiyan remote that may hold the key to getting there.

The heroes regroup at Wukong Hospital while a recovery team extracts Nappa's space pod. When Bulma accidentally destroys the pod via remote, all seems lost until Mr. Popo reveals an ancient Namekian spaceship hidden in the highlands of Yunzabit.

Capsule Corporation refits Kami's ancient spaceship for the long journey ahead. After an emotional send-off complete with Chi-Chi's wardrobe demands, Bulma, Krillin, and Gohan blast off for Planet Namek on mankind's first deep space voyage.

Seven days into their voyage, boredom gives way to danger when a giant mirror-plated spaceship pulls Kami's vessel inside. Bulma, Krillin, and Gohan navigate a gauntlet of booby traps only to find themselves surrounded by hundreds of armed children.

The orphaned children aboard the Mirror Spaceship mistake our heroes for agents of Frieza. A meteor swarm forces an unlikely alliance, and after escaping together, the crew hears the name "Frieza" for the first time. Vegeta arrives at Planet Frieza 79.

The crew crash-lands on what they believe is Planet Namek and meets two friendly locals, Raiti and Zaacro, who help them search for Dragon Balls. But Bulma begins to suspect their generous hosts are not what they seem.

The Dragon Ball hunt continues across increasingly bizarre terrain as Goku secretly escapes the hospital to train. On Planet Frieza 79, Vegeta completes his recovery and emerges from the Medical Machine stronger than before.

The elaborate illusion shatters as Raiti and Zaacro reveal their true monstrous forms. On Planet Frieza 79, Vegeta learns that Frieza has already departed for Namek to claim the Dragon Balls, and the Saiyan prince races to beat him there.

Gohan and Krillin break free from the sea creatures and defeat Raiti and Zaacro, escaping the fake Namek for good. After 34 days in space, they finally land on the real Planet Namek, only to discover Vegeta has arrived minutes behind them.

Frieza's scouts destroy Kami's ship, stranding the heroes on Namek. Vegeta confronts Cui and reveals a shocking power increase, eliminating his old rival with contemptuous ease. Krillin and Gohan hide in a cave as Frieza's army sweeps toward the next village.

Goku eats a Senzu Bean, makes a miraculous recovery, and blasts off for Namek in a Capsule Corp spaceship equipped with 100x gravity training. On Namek, Krillin and Gohan witness Frieza's army arrive at a Namekian village and begin terrorizing its people.

Frieza demands the village Dragon Ball and murders Namekian elders to make his point. Three warrior-class Namekians arrive and shockingly overpower Frieza's soldiers, while the clever elder Moori destroys every scouter in sight to blind the tyrant's forces.

Dodoria massacres the remaining Namekian warriors and murders elder Moori and young Cargo in cold blood. Gohan snaps, rescuing Dende in a burst of rage, and Krillin blinds Dodoria with the Solar Flare as the trio escapes into hiding.

Vegeta ambushes Dodoria after he separates from Frieza and Zarbon. The panicked henchman reveals the truth about Planet Vegeta's destruction at Frieza's hands, but Vegeta, unmoved by the revelation, executes him with a single blast.

Goku narrowly avoids being incinerated by a star after his ship is knocked off course, firing a Kamehameha to propel himself to safety. On Namek, Vegeta discovers an untouched village and begins his own brutal campaign for the Dragon Balls.

Vegeta slaughters an entire Namekian village, claims their Dragon Ball, and hides it underwater where Frieza can never find it. On King Kai's planet, the fallen Z Fighters arrive to begin training, while Krillin and Dende set off toward Grand Elder Guru.

King Kai identifies Frieza and desperately warns Goku to stay away from him. Piccolo overrides the warning, demanding Goku collect the Dragon Balls and revive them. On Namek, Vegeta intercepts Zarbon for a fateful showdown.

Zarbon reveals his terrifying hidden form, a grotesque reptilian beast that savagely beats Vegeta into submission. After pile-driving the Saiyan prince into a crater that floods with water, Zarbon leaves him for dead. Krillin and Dende finally reach Guru's home.

Guru reads Krillin's heart, deems him worthy, and hands over the final Dragon Ball. He then unlocks Krillin's dormant potential, dramatically boosting his power. Frieza executes a soldier for incompetence and summons the dreaded Ginyu Force.

Piccolo sparrs against Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu simultaneously on King Kai's planet, pushing all of them to improve rapidly. Inside Frieza's ship, Vegeta awakens from the healing tank, kills Appule, and creates a diversion to reach the unguarded Dragon Balls.

Vegeta steals all five of Frieza's Dragon Balls right from under his nose and escapes the ship by swimming underwater. Gohan recovers the ball Vegeta hid in the lake, while Zarbon receives a one-hour ultimatum from a furious Frieza.

Vegeta and Zarbon clash for the second and final time. Powered up from his near-death recovery, Vegeta overwhelms Zarbon's transformed state and kills him with a devastating punch through the stomach. He then takes Krillin's Dragon Ball by force.

Vegeta secures what he thinks is the final Dragon Ball, but Gohan slips away with the real prize. Meanwhile, Frieza summons the dreaded Ginyu Force, and on King Kai's planet, the dead warriors sense a terrifying new threat heading for Namek.

Bulma's solo adventure kicks off when a Dragon Ball rolls into the Namekian ocean, leading her into a deep-sea encounter with a protective crab mother. On land, Frieza's soldiers Blueberry and Raspberry capture her, setting the stage for trouble.

Bulma outwits Frieza's soldiers by luring them into the crab's underwater nest, reclaiming her Dragon Ball in the chaos. Goku tests devastating new techniques in 100x gravity, while Vegeta catches wind of Gohan and Krillin's movements as the Ginyu Force closes in.

Guru unlocks Gohan's dormant potential, and the power surge alerts Vegeta to their location. With the Ginyu Force arriving on Namek, a desperate three-way alliance forms between Vegeta, Krillin, and Gohan as they scramble to gather the Dragon Balls.

The Ginyu Force intercepts Vegeta, Krillin, and Gohan just as they gather all seven Dragon Balls. Burter's blinding speed and Guldo's time-freezing powers crush every attempt to escape, and a Rock-Paper-Scissors game decides who fights whom.

Gohan and Krillin battle the time-freezing Guldo, whose psychic powers trap them in a deadly telekinetic bind. Just as Guldo prepares to impale them with a sharpened tree stump, Vegeta intervenes with a lethal blast that severs the little alien's head clean off.

Vegeta throws everything he has at Recoome, unleashing devastating combos that incinerate the landscape, but the towering brute emerges from each onslaught virtually unscathed. When Krillin intervenes and Gohan pulls Vegeta to safety, Recoome retaliates with bone-shattering force.

Gohan stands alone against Recoome and is brutally beaten, his neck snapped by a devastating kick. On Frieza's ship, the tyrant discovers the Dragon Balls require a secret password. Just as all hope fades, Goku's spaceship touches down on Namek.

Goku arrives on the battlefield, heals Gohan, Krillin, and even Vegeta with his last Senzu Beans, then drops Recoome with a single elbow strike. The Ginyu Force's scouters read his power at just 5,000, but Vegeta sees through the deception and utters two words: Super Saiyan.

Goku faces Jeice and Burter together, dodging every attack with effortless grace. Their combined techniques, including the devastating Purple Spiral Flash, fail to land a single clean hit. When Burter charges in frustration, Goku vanishes and reappears behind him.

Goku finishes off Burter with a devastating Kaio-ken strike, prompting Jeice to flee and recruit Captain Ginyu. Vegeta coldly executes the fallen Ginyu Force members, and the ruthless captain arrives on the battlefield hungry for revenge.

Goku squares off against Captain Ginyu while Vegeta sneaks toward Frieza's ship. After trading heavy blows, Ginyu realizes he is facing a warrior who has been holding back enormous power, and Goku begins an extended Kaio-ken power-up that stuns everyone.

Goku's Kaio-ken power-up peaks at 180,000, leaving Captain Ginyu shattered. Meanwhile, Frieza arrives at Grand Elder Guru's home, effortlessly dispatches Namekian warriors, and sets the stage for a showdown with Nail as Guru grants Dende the power to heal.

Frieza battles Nail while Guru buys time through telepathic misdirection. On the other front, Captain Ginyu stabs himself through the chest and unleashes his Body Change technique, trapping Goku in a broken, unfamiliar body.

Vegeta raids Frieza's ship for armor while Ginyu parades around in Goku's stolen body. Krillin and Gohan dig up the Dragon Balls but cannot summon the dragon without the password, and Ginyu arrives to reveal his deception through violence.

Ginyu maxes out Goku's stolen body at a pitiful 23,000, proving he cannot unlock the Kaio-ken. Gohan and Krillin gain the upper hand until Vegeta emerges from hiding, brutally kills Jeice, and pummels Ginyu into submission, only for the captain to prepare one final body switch.

Goku intercepts Ginyu's body swap beam to reclaim his own form, then cleverly throws a Namekian frog into the path of Ginyu's final attempt. The captain is trapped forever in a tiny amphibian body, and the heroes settle into Frieza's ship to recover.

Dende reaches Gohan and Krillin with the Dragon Ball password while Vegeta naps. Nail's sacrifice is revealed as a deliberate stalling tactic, sending Frieza into a rage. The Namekian dragon Porunga rises from the earth, granting three wishes instead of one.

Piccolo is revived and transported to Namek as Porunga's first two wishes. Vegeta wakes up, discovers the betrayal, and demands Dende wish him immortal. But Guru dies before the third wish can be completed, the Dragon Balls turn to stone, and Frieza arrives.

Piccolo discovers the dying Nail and performs the first Namekian fusion in the series, gaining a massive power boost. Vegeta, Gohan, and Krillin engage Frieza directly, with Vegeta matching the tyrant's first form and recklessly demanding he transform.

Frieza sheds his armor and begins transforming as a flashback reveals King Vegeta's doomed rebellion and the destruction of Planet Vegeta. In the present, Frieza's monstrous second form boasts a power level over one million, and he wastes no time impaling Krillin on his horn.

Frieza toys with Krillin's impaled body before discarding him into the sea. Gohan snaps, unleashing a rage-powered assault that briefly staggers the tyrant. But Frieza recovers quickly, and Gohan finds himself on the receiving end of a brutal beating with no one able to intervene.

Krillin makes a daring rescue, slicing Frieza's tail with a Destructo Disc and blinding him with the Solar Flare. Dende reveals his healing ability, restoring Gohan to fighting shape. But the real game-changer arrives when Piccolo touches down on the battlefield, ready to face Frieza alone.

Piccolo and second-form Frieza clash in a surprisingly even fight. The Namekian reveals his fusion with Nail, taunting Frieza for failing to keep up despite transforming. But when the dust settles from their fiercest exchange, Frieza blocked at the last moment; the combined might of Piccolo and Nail still falls short.

Piccolo sheds his weighted clothing and overwhelms second-form Frieza completely. But the tyrant reveals he has two transformations remaining and shifts into his grotesque third form. The power gap reverses instantly, and Frieza begins bombarding Piccolo with finger beams he cannot dodge.

Gohan's Wild Rush Blaster nearly overwhelms third-form Frieza, but the tyrant pushes it back. Vegeta convinces Krillin to blast a hole through his stomach so Dende's healing can trigger a Saiyan power boost. Frieza, meanwhile, completes his terrifying final transformation.

Final-form Frieza wastes no time, executing Dende with a Death Beam to eliminate the heroes' healing advantage. Vegeta, freshly powered up, declares himself a Super Saiyan and takes on Frieza alone. His attacks look impressive at first, but Piccolo sees through the display: Vegeta is still hopelessly outmatched.

Vegeta throws everything he has at final-form Frieza, but his most powerful blast is simply swatted back at him. Broken in body and spirit, Vegeta collapses in tears for the first time in his life. Frieza brutalizes him mercilessly, but a beeping medical machine signals hope: Goku has finally healed.

Goku arrives on the battlefield just in time and meets Frieza face-to-face for the first time. He kicks the tyrant square in the jaw, becoming the first person to hurt Frieza in his final form. Vegeta, mortally wounded by a Death Beam through the heart, tearfully reveals the truth about the Saiyan genocide before dying in Goku's arms.

Goku and final-form Frieza begin their legendary duel in earnest. The two seem evenly matched, trading blows that demolish the Namekian landscape. Frieza creates a lava pit to swallow Goku, but Goku survives and forces the magma back underground, warning Frieza to leave the planet out of their fight.

Goku and Frieza collide in a full-power slugfest across Namek's ravaged landscape. After being trapped in Frieza's deadly Imprisonment Ball, Goku escapes with barely a scratch, proving he belongs on this battlefield. Back on Earth, Chi-Chi's desperate mission to rescue Gohan spirals into comedy.

Frieza arrogantly challenges Goku to fight without using his hands, and their brutal exchange proves shockingly even. Meanwhile, Captain Ginyu, trapped in a frog's body, tricks Bulma into building him a translator device and steals her body with his infamous Body Change technique.

Frieza reveals he has been fighting at a fraction of his true strength and powers up to fifty percent, immediately turning the tide against Goku. On King Kai's Planet, the dead warriors sense the shift with dread. Captain Ginyu, hiding in Bulma's body, nearly blows his cover among Goku's allies.

Ginyu's body-swap scheme collapses when Gohan throws Bulma's frog body into the beam, restoring everyone to normal. On the battlefield, Frieza nearly drowns Goku, but a horrifying vision of his loved ones dying ignites a desperate Kaio-ken x20 Kamehameha that singes the tyrant's palm.

With every technique exhausted and Frieza battering him relentlessly, Goku plays his absolute final card: the Spirit Bomb. Arms raised to the sky, he begins gathering energy from the entire planet while Frieza ignorantly mistakes the gesture for surrender. A ghostly vision of Vegeta, Bardock, and King Vegeta fuels Goku's resolve.

The Spirit Bomb grows in the sky as Goku endures Frieza's relentless punishment with his arms raised. When Frieza finally spots the massive energy sphere reflected in the ocean, Piccolo leaps in with a last-second kick to buy the critical seconds Goku needs. The dead Ginyu Force wreaks havoc on King Kai's Planet.

Piccolo valiantly stalls Frieza but is beaten to near death. When Gohan and Krillin fire desperate blasts that enrage Frieza into attempting to destroy the entire planet, the timing aligns perfectly: Goku completes the Spirit Bomb and hurls the massive energy sphere directly into the tyrant, consuming him in a colossal explosion.

The Spirit Bomb fails. Frieza survives, shoots Piccolo through the chest, and murders Krillin by detonating him from the inside. Pushed beyond all limits by grief and rage, Goku undergoes the legendary transformation and becomes the first Super Saiyan in a thousand years. Anime history is made.

Super Saiyan Goku unleashes his fury on Frieza, and the difference is absolute. Every attack the tyrant throws is shrugged off or dodged with casual ease. Frieza's Death Beams bounce harmlessly off Goku's body as the newly transformed Saiyan delivers his legendary declaration of who he has become.

Unable to defeat Super Saiyan Goku through combat, Frieza fires a blast into Namek's core, triggering a countdown to the planet's total destruction. With five minutes until detonation and Frieza vowing to reach his full power, the final stage of their legendary battle begins on a world that is literally falling apart.

Goku allows Frieza to reach his full 100% power, ignoring King Kai's desperate plea to finish the tyrant early. The two warriors clash at speeds beyond comprehension, and Frieza begins to find his footing against the legendary Super Saiyan.

King Kai devises a brilliant plan to use Earth's Dragon Balls to revive Frieza's victims on Namek, restore the Namekian Dragon Balls, and ultimately teleport everyone to safety. On the battlefield, Goku slowly gains the upper hand against the full-power tyrant.

Shenron's wish revives Frieza's victims across Namek, restoring Guru, Dende, and Vegeta to life. When Frieza buries Goku in a lava pit, Gohan charges back to the battlefield alone, only for Goku to emerge from the depths, ready for the final round.

Goku overhears King Kai's evacuation plan and demands to be left on Namek to finish the fight. Dende races Frieza to Porunga and makes the wish just in time, teleporting everyone to Earth except Goku and Frieza, who now stand alone on a dying world.

With everyone safely on Earth, the focus splits between Goku and Frieza's escalating duel and the evacuees processing the weight of Goku's sacrifice. Piccolo reflects on his long history with Goku, while Vegeta reveals his true ambitions.

Goku lands a decisive blow to Frieza's stomach and walks away from the fight, declaring the weakened tyrant no longer worth his time. Humiliated and furious, Frieza refuses to accept defeat and launches a Death Saucer at the departing Super Saiyan.

Goku outmaneuvers Frieza's deadly energy discs, turning the tyrant's own weapon against him. Frieza is sliced in half by his own Death Saucer and, in a final act of compassion, Goku shares his energy to keep the broken emperor alive.

Grand Elder Guru passes the Dragon Ball power to Moori and dies peacefully, while on Namek, Frieza uses Goku's gifted energy for one final treacherous attack. Goku retaliates with a blast that apparently obliterates the tyrant once and for all.

Goku finds Frieza's wrecked spaceship and desperately tries to launch it, but the engines fail and the ship plunges into lava. Namek explodes moments later, and King Kai is unable to locate Goku anywhere in the universe. The heroes are left devastated.

Over 260 days, the Namekian Dragon Balls regenerate and Porunga is summoned twice. Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu are all revived, and the stunning truth emerges: Goku is still alive. He declines to return, and the Namekians depart Earth for a new homeworld.

Garlic Jr. escapes the Dead Zone and seizes Kami's Lookout with his Spice Boys, trapping both Kami and Mr. Popo in miniature bottles. With Earth's Guardian imprisoned, Garlic Jr. unleashes the Black Water Mist to enslave all of humanity.

The Black Water Mist blankets Earth, transforming ordinary people into violent thralls. At Kame House, Chi-Chi, Yamcha, Bulma, and Master Roshi all fall victim, leaving only Gohan, Krillin, and Maron uninfected as the Spice Boys arrive.

Piccolo battles the infected Z Fighters at Kame House while ordering Gohan to retrieve the Sacred Water from the Lookout. Despite a valiant effort, Piccolo is overwhelmed and bitten, seemingly falling under the mist's control.

Gohan faces Garlic Jr. on the Lookout while Krillin battles Mustard. After Krillin takes a devastating hit protecting him, Gohan's rage erupts and he obliterates both Salt and Mustard with a powerful Masenko, only to be blindsided by the infected Piccolo.

Gohan endures a brutal beating from Piccolo while Krillin pretends to fall under the mist's control. Just when all hope seems lost, Piccolo reveals the truth: the Black Water Mist never affected him, and both he and Krillin were faking it all along.

With dawn approaching and the mist's effects about to become permanent, Kami and Mr. Popo race through the Lookout's inner chambers to reach the Seven Air Currents. Above, Garlic Jr. transforms into his monstrous Super form as the Makyo Star draws near.

The Makyo Star supercharges Garlic Jr. and his remaining Spice Boys to terrifying new levels. Gohan destroys Spice and Vinegar with a Double Masenko, and Piccolo pushes his body beyond its limits by growing into his Great Namekian form.

Garlic Jr.'s immortality makes him nearly impossible to stop, shrugging off even a blow that punches clean through his torso. Mr. Popo pours the Sacred Water into the Seven Air Currents just in time, curing humanity, but a furious Garlic Jr. reopens the Dead Zone.

With the Dead Zone swallowing the Lookout, Piccolo identifies the Makyo Star as Garlic Jr.'s power source. Gohan drops his shield and fires a Full Power Masenko that obliterates the star, stripping Garlic Jr. of his strength and sending him into the void forever.

With Garlic Jr. gone and Earth at peace, Krillin considers proposing to Maron. After a soul-searching undersea quest for the legendary Mermaid's Tear, he realizes he is not ready and lets Maron go, hiding his heartbreak behind a pair of sunglasses.

Frieza and his father King Cold race toward Earth for revenge, while the Z Fighters sense the terrifying power approaching. Vegeta returns from space empty-handed, Gohan stands up to an abusive tutor, and Bulma plants the first seeds of her unlikely bond with the Saiyan prince.

Frieza's warship touches down on Earth as the Z Fighters gather at the Northern Wastelands. A haunted flashback reveals how King Cold salvaged his son from the wreckage of Namek and rebuilt him as a cybernetic weapon. Just as Frieza unleashes his soldiers, a mysterious sword-wielding stranger appears.

The mysterious stranger reveals himself as a Super Saiyan and faces down Mecha Frieza in one of the series' most iconic confrontations. Frieza's most powerful attack is caught barehanded, his Supernova detonated harmlessly, and his body cleaved in two by a single devastating sword strike.

The mysterious youth finishes off King Cold with the same efficiency he showed against Frieza, then leads the Z Fighters to the exact spot where Goku will land. Over cold drinks and mounting curiosity, the group waits until a Ginyu Force space pod crashes down and Goku finally steps out.

The stranger pulls Goku aside and reveals the truth: he is Trunks, the future son of Vegeta and Bulma, carrying a dire warning about deadly Androids that will devastate the Earth in three years. He hands Goku medicine for a heart virus that will otherwise kill him, then vanishes back to his own timeline.

Goku recounts his narrow escape from Namek and demonstrates his new Instant Transmission technique by swiping Master Roshi's sunglasses from across the planet. The Z Fighters commit to three years of intense training, Vegeta demands 300x gravity, and Chi-Chi grudgingly lets Gohan prepare for battle.

Vegeta pushes himself to the breaking point training at 300x gravity, causing the Capsule Corp ship to explode around him. A nightmare about Goku and the mysterious youth taunting him as Super Saiyans fuels his obsession, and he resumes training at 400x gravity before his wounds have even healed.

Chi-Chi forces Goku and Piccolo to attend driving school after growing tired of their lack of practical life skills. The unlikely students wreck their cars in a reckless race, but redeem themselves by rescuing a school bus full of children from a rockslide. They still fail the test.

Three years of training culminate as the Z Fighters converge on Amenbo Island for the prophesied Android arrival. Bulma arrives with baby Trunks, Yajirobe delivers Senzu Beans, and the team splits up to search the city. Yamcha finds the Androids first, and Android 20 repays his discovery by driving a fist through his chest.

Goku and the Z Fighters discover Yamcha impaled and near death. After a Senzu Bean saves him, Goku confronts the Androids and is horrified when Android 20 obliterates a section of the city with his eye beams. The battle relocates to an empty wasteland, where Goku reveals his Super Saiyan power to enemies who have been watching him since childhood.

Goku unleashes Super Saiyan power against Android 19, dominating early. But the heart virus strikes mid-battle, draining his strength while the android absorbs his energy blasts. The tide turns violently as Goku collapses, leaving his allies watching in horror.

The heart virus cripples Goku as Android 19 drains him dry. With every Z Fighter frozen in place by Android 20's threats, all seems lost. Then Vegeta arrives with a thunderous kick and a stunning revelation: the prince has achieved Super Saiyan.

Super Saiyan Vegeta systematically dismantles Android 19, ripping off both its hands before obliterating it with the Big Bang Attack. Android 20 flees into the mountains, and the desperate hunt begins as the remaining android plots to drain the Z Fighters one by one.

Android 20 ambushes Piccolo and begins draining his energy, but Gohan intervenes just in time. Piccolo then fights the android alone and overwhelms him, proving three years of preparation paid off. Future Trunks returns and drops a bombshell: these are not the androids from his timeline.

Android 20 shoots down Bulma's aircraft to create a diversion and escapes toward his lab. Bulma reveals the android's true identity as Dr. Gero, and Future Trunks describes the real threat: Androids 17 and 18. A desperate race begins to find the lab before Gero can awaken his deadliest creations.

Dr. Gero reaches his lab just ahead of the Z Fighters and activates Androids 17 and 18. The newly awakened machines show immediate defiance, with 17 snatching the emergency shutdown remote from Gero's hand. Vegeta blasts down the door, and the heroes come face to face with the real threat at last.

Android 17 kills Dr. Gero in cold blood, punching through his chest and crushing his severed head underfoot. Against the doctor's dying wishes, 18 activates the mysterious Android 16. The three machines leave together to hunt Goku, ignoring Vegeta entirely, which enrages the Saiyan prince into giving chase.

Vegeta challenges the androids and Android 18 accepts the fight. The Saiyan prince holds his own early, trading blows and landing his Big Bang Attack. But 18's infinite energy supply proves decisive as Vegeta's stamina drains with every exchange, ending with his arm snapped by a single devastating kick.

Future Trunks, Piccolo, and Tien all jump into the fight, but Androids 17 and 18 crush the entire group without breaking a sweat. Vegeta's arm is shattered, both Super Saiyans are knocked unconscious, and Krillin is the last one standing. Android 18 kisses him on the cheek before the trio walks away.

In the aftermath of total defeat, the Z Fighters scatter. Vegeta flies off in a rage, Krillin and Tien plan to relocate Goku, and Piccolo makes a fateful decision to visit Kami's Lookout. The Namekian warrior intends to reunite with his other half, even if it means sacrificing the Dragon Balls forever.

Piccolo demands Kami fuse with him to gain the strength needed against the Androids, but the Guardian hesitates. Meanwhile, 17, 18, and 16 hijack a van and tear through a biker gang on their joyride toward Goku's home, while Trunks and Krillin race to evacuate the ailing Saiyan.

Goku suffers a terrifying nightmare where the Androids slaughter his loved ones. Vegeta, humiliated by his defeat, vows to shatter the limits of Super Saiyan. The episode ends with a bombshell: Bulma receives a photo of a second Time Machine, identical to the one Trunks already has.

Future Trunks and Gohan investigate the mysterious second Time Machine, finding it moss-covered and four years old. Inside rests an empty egg of unknown origin. Nearby, they discover the freshly shed exoskeleton of something enormous and insectoid, still wet with fluid. Whatever hatched from that egg is already out there.

The people of Gingertown vanish without a trace, their clothing left behind in the streets. Kami, sensing a horror beyond the Androids, finally agrees to fuse with Piccolo permanently. The newly empowered Super Namekian flies to the ghost town and comes face to face with a mysterious insectoid creature lurking in the silence.

Piccolo confronts the Gingertown creature and watches it drain a man dry through its tail. The monster knows Piccolo's name, uses the Special Beam Cannon, and fires a Kamehameha, leaving the Z Fighters at Kame House stunned as they sense ki signatures belonging to Frieza, Goku, and Piccolo all radiating from one being.

The creature reveals its identity: Cell, an Android created by Dr. Gero's supercomputer using genetic material harvested from Goku, Vegeta, Frieza, and Piccolo. He traveled from the future in a stolen Time Machine to absorb Androids 17 and 18 and achieve his perfect form. Piccolo, having stalled long enough to regenerate his drained arm, prepares to resume the fight.

Cell blinds Piccolo, Trunks, and Krillin with a Solar Flare and escapes Gingertown to hunt fresh victims. He absorbs a group of athletes near Nicky Town before slipping into the city. Vegeta arrives at the battlefield, furious to learn Piccolo has surpassed him, while Piccolo briefs his allies on the full scope of the Cell threat.

Trunks and Krillin blast their way into the hidden basement beneath Dr. Gero's ruined lab, where they find the present-era Cell still growing in larval form inside a tank. They destroy the supercomputer, the embryonic Cell, and recover the blueprints for Android 17. Above ground, Cell devours the entire population of Nicky Town.

Krillin saves two siblings from Cell at Basil Airport in a desperate running battle, buying time with a Solar Flare before Piccolo and Tien chase the creature off. At Kame House, Chi-Chi discovers Goku's bed empty. He has recovered, and stands on the beach practicing his Kamehameha, declaring he needs to surpass Super Saiyan.

Goku uses Instant Transmission to gather Gohan, Vegeta, and Trunks and leads them to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, where a single day equals a full year of training. Vegeta and Trunks enter first. The Androids reach Kame House demanding Goku, and Piccolo flies with them to a nearby island chain to settle things with Android 17.

Piccolo sheds his weighted gear and squares off against Android 17 in a fierce battle across the Tropical Islands. The two fighters trade blows evenly, while Cell, freshly powered from his absorption spree, senses the commotion and rockets toward them.

Piccolo and Android 17 push each other to the limit in an explosive clash across the islands, only for the real threat to arrive. Cell appears on the battlefield, drawn by the energy signatures, ready to absorb the androids and achieve his long-awaited perfect form.

Cell powers up by channeling the energy of over a thousand absorbed victims and enters the fray. Piccolo fights valiantly alongside Android 17, but Cell proves overwhelmingly superior. After snapping Piccolo's neck and blasting a hole through him, Cell leaves the Namekian for dead.

With Piccolo seemingly dead and Android 17 outmatched, the situation looks hopeless until the gentle giant Android 16 steps forward. Declaring himself equal to Cell in strength, 16 delivers a shocking punch that sends the bio-android flying and enters the fight no one expected him to join.

Android 16 unleashes his full arsenal against Cell, including the devastating Hell's Flash. But 17's overconfidence proves fatal as Cell rises behind him and absorbs him whole, transforming into his terrifying Semi-Perfect form. Tien Shinhan steps in with his Neo Tri-Beam as the last line of defense.

Tien Shinhan pushes his body past its limits, firing Neo Tri-Beam after Neo Tri-Beam to hold Semi-Perfect Cell at bay long enough for the androids to escape. Goku uses Instant Transmission to rescue both Tien and a still-breathing Piccolo, just as Vegeta and Future Trunks finally emerge from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Vegeta and Future Trunks emerge from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber brimming with new power. Vegeta brashly declares he will destroy Cell alone and departs despite everyone's warnings. As Cell methodically demolishes islands to flush out Android 18, Goku and Gohan enter the Time Chamber to begin their own transformation.

Vegeta arrives just as Cell is about to destroy the island where Android 18 and 16 are hiding. After a tense standoff, Vegeta reveals his ascended Super Saiyan form and begins dismantling Semi-Perfect Cell with ease, leaving everyone stunned at the sheer magnitude of his transformation.

Vegeta toys with Semi-Perfect Cell, treating the bio-android as little more than a punching bag. Meanwhile in the Time Chamber, Gohan channels his rage to achieve Super Saiyan for the first time, while Krillin flies toward the islands with the shutdown remote and a growing sense of dread.

Vegeta continues to humiliate Semi-Perfect Cell at every turn, mocking him by turning his back and shrugging off a Galick Gun blast. Desperate and battered, Cell plants a dangerous seed in Vegeta's mind: let him absorb Android 18 so he can become a worthy opponent. The Saiyan Prince's pride begins to waver.

Krillin faces an impossible choice between duty and love as he confronts Android 18 with the shutdown remote, while Vegeta's pride leads him to let Cell pursue his quest for perfection.

Future Trunks battles his own father to prevent catastrophe, but Cell uses cunning and a Solar Flare to absorb Android 18, triggering his terrifying transformation into Perfect Cell.

Perfect Cell emerges in his completed form as the world reels from his power. Inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Gohan's frustration finally pushes him to achieve his first true Super Saiyan transformation.

Vegeta's confidence crumbles as Perfect Cell systematically dismantles him in combat, while Trunks reveals to Krillin the painful secret that he has surpassed his father in power.

Vegeta unleashes the devastating Final Flash against Perfect Cell, blowing off his arm and torso. But Cell's Namekian regeneration turns triumph to horror, and a defeated Vegeta falls as Trunks' rage ignites.

Future Trunks powers up to Super Saiyan Third Grade and battles Perfect Cell to rescue his fallen father. A clever ruse draws Cell away from Vegeta long enough for Krillin to pull the prince to safety.

Trunks and Cell share their darkest memories before clashing. Flashbacks reveal the androids' brutal massacre of the Z Fighters in the future, while Cell recalls his own creation and purpose.

The fatal flaw of Super Saiyan Third Grade is exposed as Cell effortlessly dodges Trunks' bulked-up attacks. Goku independently discovers the same weakness and devises a revolutionary new approach to the transformation.

The Z Fighters regroup at Capsule Corporation to process Cell's tournament announcement. Android 16 asks for repairs, Dr. Brief begins the work, and Cell constructs his arena from raw stone.

Cell hijacks a live television broadcast to announce the Cell Games to the entire world, demonstrating his power by obliterating half a city. Gohan's nightmare in the Time Chamber foreshadows the battle ahead.

Goku and Gohan exit the Hyperbolic Time Chamber as fully mastered Super Saiyans, stunning their allies. After catching up on Cell's progress, Goku teleports to confront Cell directly, only to return and admit he cannot win yet.

Goku baffles everyone by refusing to train further, choosing instead to relax with Gohan and Krillin. After demonstrating half his power for Korin, Goku learns Cell still surpasses him, yet he remains completely unfazed.

Gohan visits a village terrorized by a protection scam and befriends a girl named Lime. When Mercenary Tao enters the picture, Gohan's connection to Goku sends the assassin running in terror.

The Son family celebrates Gohan's eleventh birthday with fishing, flashbacks, and cake. Chi-Chi and Goku recall the day they named their son, offering a heartfelt look at the family behind the fighter.

The Earth's military launches a futile assault on Cell, and Goku realizes new Dragon Balls are needed. He teleports to King Kai to track down the Namekians, setting a plan in motion to restore the Dragon Balls.

Goku recruits Dende from New Namek to serve as Earth's new Guardian, restoring the Dragon Balls. Meanwhile, Mr. Satan makes his bombastic debut, and Goku begins collecting the freshly scattered orbs.

Goku tracks two Dragon Balls to a fortress guarded by Mercenary Tao, who challenges him with three puzzle rings instead of a fight. Goku solves them all by dawn and collects the final seven orbs.

The day of reckoning arrives as all fighters converge on the Cell Games Arena. Goku volunteers to fight first, Mr. Satan preens for the cameras, and Android 16 reveals he was built to destroy Goku but has chosen peace.

Mr. Satan's pupils Caroni and Pirozhki challenge Cell first and are swatted away like insects. Satan himself follows with his Dynamite Kick, only to be flicked out of the ring. Cell then asks who will fight for real.

Goku steps into the ring against Perfect Cell, and the two exchange blows at breathtaking speed. After an intense warm-up that leaves everyone stunned, both fighters agree to stop holding back and fight at full power.

Goku and Cell drop all pretenses and fight at full power. Cell cycles through stolen techniques like Multi-Form, Special Beam Cannon, and Death Saucer, but Goku handles them all. When Cell fires an Earth-destroying Kamehameha, Goku uses Instant Transmission to dodge at the last second.

Cell destroys the arena and eliminates all boundaries for the fight. Goku unleashes a brilliant Instant Kamehameha at point-blank range, obliterating Cell's upper body. But is it enough to finish the bio-android for good?

Cell regenerates from Goku's devastating attack and the two continue fighting with dwindling energy. When it becomes clear his reserves are fading faster than Cell's, Goku stuns everyone by forfeiting the match and declaring that a new hero must step forward.

Goku names Gohan as his successor to fight Cell, stunning everyone. He tosses a Senzu Bean to Cell to ensure a fair fight. Gohan powers up and enters the ring, revealing a strength that catches even Vegeta off guard, though Cell quickly proves he still has the upper hand.

Cell pummels Gohan and buries him under rubble, but the young Saiyan emerges barely scratched. Gohan pleads with Cell to stop fighting, then reveals the secret behind his hidden power. Intrigued rather than deterred, Cell becomes obsessed with drawing out that dormant rage.

Cell tortures Gohan with a crushing bear hug, then steals the Senzu Beans to cut off any retreat. Android 16 attempts to self-destruct and take Cell with him, but the bomb was already removed. Cell destroys 16's body and spawns seven Cell Juniors to attack the Z Fighters.

The Cell Juniors brutalize the Z Fighters one by one, breaking Yamcha's arm and overwhelming even Vegeta. Mr. Satan musters unexpected courage to deliver Android 16's head to Gohan. After 16's final words, Cell crushes his head, and Gohan's fury triggers the legendary Super Saiyan 2 transformation.

Gohan completes his transformation into Super Saiyan 2 and immediately demonstrates his terrifying new power. He snatches the Senzu Beans from Cell in the blink of an eye, then systematically destroys all seven Cell Juniors with effortless, single-blow precision.

Gohan dominates Cell so completely that even the android's full power cannot land a meaningful hit. Two simple punches to Cell's gut and chin leave the so-called perfect being doubled over in agony, as the Z Fighters realize Gohan has surpassed every fighter they have ever known.

Cell throws everything he has at Gohan, from Destructo Discs to a planet-killing Kamehameha, and nothing works. Gohan's counterattack is so devastating that Cell bulks up in desperation, only to be kicked so hard he regurgitates Android 18 and reverts to his Semi-Perfect form.

Cell loses his perfect form after Gohan forces him to spit out Android 18, but the desperate bio-android triggers a self-destruct sequence. Goku teleports Cell away to save everyone, sacrificing himself. Cell survives, returns stronger than ever, and fatally blasts Future Trunks.

Super Perfect Cell reveals how he survived and taunts Gohan over Goku's sacrifice. Future Trunks succumbs to his wounds and dies. Vegeta, consumed by rage over his son's death, attacks Cell head-on but is nearly killed. Gohan shields Vegeta, losing the use of his left arm.

Cell charges a Solar Kamehameha powerful enough to wipe out the solar system while Gohan, injured and despairing, prepares to accept defeat. A flashback reveals Cell's origins in his own timeline. From the afterlife, Goku contacts Gohan and convinces him to fire a one-armed Kamehameha.

The Father-Son Kamehameha collides with Cell's Solar Kamehameha in an epic beam struggle. Piccolo, Tien, Yamcha, and Krillin attack Cell to give Gohan an opening. Vegeta delivers the crucial distraction blast, and Gohan unleashes everything, finally obliterating Cell for good.

Cell is destroyed and the fighters regroup at the Lookout. Vegeta vows never to fight again, shaken by Goku's sacrifice. The Dragon Balls revive Cell's victims, but Goku chooses to stay dead, believing Earth is safer without him. Mr. Satan claims credit for the victory.

Krillin uses the final wish to remove the bombs from Androids 17 and 18. Android 18 reveals she and 17 are twins, not a couple. Future Trunks returns to his timeline. The Z Fighters scatter to resume peaceful lives while Goku settles into the afterlife with King Kai.

Future Trunks returns to his devastated timeline and effortlessly destroys both Future Android 17 and Future Android 18. Three years later, he confronts and obliterates the Imperfect Cell of his era with the Heat Dome Attack, ending the Android nightmare forever.

Goku and King Kai travel to Grand Kai's planet, where they meet the eccentric Grand Kai and the warrior Pikkon. When Cell and Frieza cause trouble in Hell alongside King Cold and the Ginyu Force, Goku and Pikkon head down to restore order with impressive ease.

The Other World Tournament kicks off on Grand Kai's planet. Goku meets Olibu, races East Kai to earn his spot in the bracket, and wins his first match against Caterpy by default when the insectoid fighter enters a 1,200-year metamorphosis mid-fight.

The Other World Tournament quarterfinals deliver four explosive matches. Goku outsmarts the aquatic fighter Arqua by using a Solar Flare and Kamehameha combo. Pikkon defeats Olibu in a devastating clash that shatters nearby moons, setting up the semifinals.

Goku dispatches Maraikoh in the semifinals, then watches Pikkon crush Torbie. The two finalists meet at center ring, trading blows and energy blasts before Pikkon removes his weighted clothing. Goku responds by powering up to Super Saiyan, setting the stage for the ultimate showdown.

Goku and Pikkon wage a devastating final that carries them from the ring to the stadium ceiling. Goku discovers the weakness in Pikkon's Thunder Flash and wins with a point-blank Kamehameha, but both fighters are disqualified for landing out of bounds. Years later, a teenage Gohan heads to high school.

Seven years after the Cell Games, teenage Gohan stops a bank robbery in Satan City by going Super Saiyan, earning the label "Gold Fighter." He starts at Orange Star High School, meets Videl, Erasa, and Sharpner, and reveals his superhuman abilities during a baseball game before heading to Bulma for help.

Gohan visits Capsule Corporation, where Bulma builds him a costume activated by a wristwatch. After testing the suit and choosing the name "Great Saiyaman," he rescues a hijacked bus alongside Videl, making his superhero debut with an elaborate pose that leaves everyone confused and Videl deeply suspicious.

A classmate named Angela blackmails Gohan into a date by claiming she knows his secret. The outing drags through a boring movie and a sugar-loaded coffee shop visit before a building fire forces Gohan to slip away as the Great Saiyaman. Angela's "secret" turns out to be his teddy bear underwear, not his superhero identity.

Videl pursues the Great Saiyaman in her helicopter, demanding to know his identity. Later, the Red Shark Gang kidnaps the mayor of Satan City and calls out Mr. Satan, who hides in terror. Videl and the Great Saiyaman team up to dismantle the gang and free the hostage, though Videl vows she will eventually unmask the mysterious hero.

Gohan and Goten discover that baby pterodactyl Chobi has been stolen by a circus. Gohan infiltrates the show as the Great Saiyaman to free the creature, leading to a clash with Videl and the arrival of Chobi's furious parents. Videl deduces Gohan's secret and blackmails him into the World Tournament.

Gohan gets a turban and sunglasses from Bulma to replace his banned helmet for the tournament. Goku contacts his friends from Other World to announce he will return to Earth for one day. The news spreads fast: Vegeta, Krillin, Android 18, and Piccolo all commit to entering. Chi-Chi approves Gohan's training after learning about the prize money.

Gohan begins tournament training with Goten as his sparring partner, only to discover his seven-year-old brother can already go Super Saiyan. A flashback reveals Chi-Chi's horrified reaction to Goten's first transformation. Goten proves skilled in combat but cannot fly, and Videl arrives demanding her promised flight lessons.

Gohan teaches Videl and Goten how to fly by explaining ki control. Goten picks it up instantly while Videl struggles before producing her first energy sphere. In Other World, Goku silences South Kai's boasts. At Capsule Corporation, Trunks transforms into a Super Saiyan. Videl returns the next day with short hair, ready to train.

With Videl now capable of flight and training complete, the Z Fighters converge on Papaya Island for the World Martial Arts Tournament. Goku returns from Other World for 24 hours, finally meeting his youngest son Goten for the very first time.

Sharpner schemes to unmask the Great Saiyaman but Piccolo destroys every camera in range. At the tournament, a punching machine determines the final 16 fighters, and Vegeta obliterates it with a single strike.

The World Tournament kicks off with a hilariously inaccurate Cell Games reenactment and Mr. Satan's clumsy grand entrance. In the junior division, young Trunks demolishes the bully Idasa with just two kicks.

Goten flattens Ikose with a single punch and blazes through the bracket to meet Trunks in the junior division finals. Their championship battle begins, and the crowd quickly realizes these two boys fight harder than most adults.

The junior division final reaches its explosive peak as both Trunks and Goten transform into Super Saiyans during their battle. Trunks wins the championship with a clever left-handed blast, then faces Mr. Satan in the exhibition round.

Trunks earns his exhibition match against Mr. Satan and sends the champion flying into a wall with a single casual punch. Afterward, two mysterious strangers approach Goku, and Piccolo senses something deeply unsettling about their power.

Trunks and Goten knock out Mighty Mask and steal his costume to sneak into the adult tournament. The bracket draw produces explosive matchups, including Goku vs. Vegeta, and Piccolo grows deeply anxious about facing Shin.

Krillin dispatches the massive Pintar with a single effortless blow to open the adult tournament. In the second match, Piccolo faces Shin on the ring but forfeits without throwing a punch, having realized his opponent is the Supreme Kai.

Videl battles Spopovich with everything she has, even snapping his neck with a devastating kick. But the marked warrior twists his head back into place and keeps fighting, revealing a terrifying resilience that shocks every fighter watching.

Spopovich brutalizes Videl in a one-sided beating that pushes Gohan to his breaking point. He transforms into a Super Saiyan in rage before Yamu finally calls off his partner, ending the match. Goku teleports to Korin Tower for Senzu Beans.

Goku races to retrieve Senzu Beans while Gohan tends to the battered Videl. Once healed, Gohan faces Kibito in the ring, but the mysterious fighter has one unusual request: show your Super Saiyan 2 power. Meanwhile, the Supreme Kai's true identity stuns the Z Fighters.

Gohan powers up to Super Saiyan 2 at Kibito's request, but Spopovich and Yamu ambush him in the ring and drain his energy. The Z Fighters abandon the tournament to pursue the thieves, and the Supreme Kai reveals the terrifying legend of Majin Buu.

The Z Fighters track Spopovich and Yamu to Babidi's hidden spaceship. Videl learns the truth about who really defeated Cell, and the group watches in horror as Babidi murders his own loyal servants upon receiving the stolen energy.

Dabura strikes first, killing Kibito instantly and turning Krillin and Piccolo to stone with his spit. With their friends petrified and a trap laid before them, Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, and the Supreme Kai descend into Babidi's ship to face whatever waits below.

Vegeta squares off against Pui Pui on the first level of Babidi's ship. When the wizard warps them to Pui Pui's homeworld with ten times Earth's gravity, Vegeta laughs it off. He trains at 450 times gravity. The fight is over before it truly begins.

Goku takes on Yakon, a monstrous creature that feeds on light energy. Babidi teleports them to the pitch-black Dark Star, but Goku turns the tables by going Super Saiyan and deliberately overfeeding Yakon until the beast literally explodes from consuming too much power.

With the Z Fighters stalled inside Babidi's ship waiting for Dabura, the World Tournament shifts to a battle royal. Android 18 and the disguised Goten and Trunks dominate the ring while Mr. Satan watches in absolute terror from the sidelines.

Android 18 battles Mighty Mask in an increasingly intense tournament fight. When the disguised Goten and Trunks go Super Saiyan, 18 sees through the ruse and slices their costume apart with a Destructo Disc. The boys are disqualified and flee the ring in a huff.

Android 18 throws her championship fight against Mr. Satan for 20 million zeni, letting the fraud keep his title. Inside Babidi's ship, Gohan finally faces Dabura, the King of the Demon Realm, and powers up to Super Saiyan 2 as the real battle begins.

Gohan and Dabura trade heavy blows across an alien landscape, but Gohan's rustiness shows. Dabura, sensing Vegeta's simmering rage and buried darkness, abandons the fight to propose a sinister plan to Babidi: turn the Saiyan Prince into their newest weapon.

Babidi exploits the darkness in Vegeta's heart, transforming the Saiyan prince into his newest servant. Warped back to the World Tournament, Majin Vegeta unleashes devastation on the crowd, killing spectators and forcing a horrified Goku into confrontation.

Majin Vegeta reveals his true motivation: a lifetime of wounded pride demands he settle things with Goku once and for all. After threatening the Supreme Kai himself, Goku agrees to fight, and both Saiyans ascend to Super Saiyan 2.

Goku and Majin Vegeta clash at Super Saiyan 2 in a brutal rematch 200 episodes after their first encounter. Meanwhile, Gohan and the Supreme Kai push deeper into Babidi's ship, racing to reach the sealed Majin Buu cocoon.

Vegeta confesses his true reason for surrendering to Babidi: years of domestic life dulled the ruthless edge he needs to surpass Goku. As their evenly matched battle rages on, the energy meter for Majin Buu's cocoon reaches full power.

Gohan unleashes multiple Kamehameha waves at the sealed cocoon in a desperate bid to prevent Majin Buu's resurrection. The cocoon opens empty, but the steam gathering overhead takes shape as a pink, rubbery creature unlike anything the universe has seen.

Buu swats Dabura aside like an insect and sends Gohan crashing to earth with a single blow. Meanwhile, Vegeta ends his fight with Goku through deception, knocking him unconscious and taking the last Senzu Bean to face Buu alone.

Majin Buu ragdolls the Supreme Kai and blasts Gohan across the landscape with terrifying ease. Dabura's desperate spear attack proves futile as Buu regenerates instantly, while Goten and Trunks discover the petrified Piccolo statue on the cliff above.

Buu transforms Dabura into a giant cookie and devours him, inadvertently freeing Piccolo and Krillin from their stone prisons. Majin Vegeta arrives by destroying Babidi's spaceship, then faces down Buu with a power fueled by remorse and resolve.

Vegeta batters Majin Buu with everything he has, but the creature regenerates from every wound instantly. After Buu's Angry Explosion leaves a crater and injures Vegeta, the monster wraps him in his own body mass, prompting Trunks to rush to his father's rescue.

Vegeta hugs his son for the first time, knocks out Trunks and Goten, then detonates his own body in a blinding Final Explosion meant to destroy Majin Buu completely. The Saiyan prince dies standing, turned to stone and crumbling to dust.

Vegeta's sacrifice proves futile as Majin Buu regenerates from scattered remains. Piccolo races to warn the others, and the survivors retreat to the Lookout with Earth's youngest Saiyans, now humanity's last hope.

The Dragon Ball hunt goes sideways with dinosaur encounters and crash landings, while Goku awakens alone and teleports to the Lookout. The survivors begin piecing together a grim picture of what happened.

Goku introduces the concept of Fusion and Mr. Popo suggests Goten and Trunks as candidates. The first Shenron wish revives the tournament dead, and Goku saves the second wish for later use.

Babidi broadcasts a terrifying ultimatum to the entire planet, demanding that Goten, Trunks, and Piccolo surrender themselves. Buu transforms an entire city's population into candy, while Goku breaks the devastating news about Vegeta and Gohan.

Gohan is healed on the Sacred World of the Kai and tasked with pulling the legendary Z Sword. On the Lookout, Goku begins teaching the boys about Fusion while Babidi threatens to destroy the planet in five days.

Gohan powers up to Super Saiyan 2 and rips the legendary Z Sword from its resting place. On the Lookout, fusion training continues as Babidi turns another city's people into chocolate bars.

When Babidi discovers Trunks lives at Capsule Corp., the race is on. Trunks flies to retrieve the Dragon Radar while Goku uses Instant Transmission to intercept Buu, setting up a legendary confrontation.

Goku unleashes Super Saiyan 3 for the first time, shaking the entire planet with his transformation. His battle with Buu stalls for time while Trunks hunts for the Dragon Radar at Capsule Corp.

Goku's fierce Super Saiyan 3 battle with Buu reaches its conclusion as Trunks finally locates the Dragon Radar. With his mission complete, Goku departs, and Buu immediately turns on Babidi with lethal consequences.

With only thirty minutes of Earth time remaining, Goku teaches Goten and Trunks the Fusion Dance poses. The ridiculous-looking technique draws skepticism from everyone, while a masterless Buu continues ravaging cities.

Goku's remaining hours on Earth wind down as he teaches Goten and Trunks the Fusion Dance, demonstrates Super Saiyan 3 one final time, and bids an emotional farewell to his family and friends before returning to the afterlife with Fortuneteller Baba.

Goku discovers Gohan is alive after checking in with King Yemma and teleports to the Sacred World of the Kai. Meanwhile, Piccolo and Krillin awkwardly demonstrate the Fusion Dance, and Majin Buu performs his first act of kindness by healing a blind boy named Tommy.

The legendary Z Sword shatters against a block of Katchin, releasing the ancient Old Kai who had been sealed inside for generations. After proving he lacks fighting ability, Old Kai reveals his true gift: the power to unlock a warrior's hidden potential. He begins the lengthy ritual on Gohan.

Goten and Trunks attempt the Fusion Dance at full power for the first time, producing two comically failed forms before finally creating the warrior Gotenks. Overflowing with confidence, Gotenks ignores Piccolo's warnings and rushes off to fight Majin Buu, only to be thoroughly outmatched.

Mr. Satan steps up as Earth's supposed champion against Majin Buu. Armed with poisoned candy, video games, and explosives, he tries every trick to eliminate the monster. Instead of destroying him, Buu finds Satan hilarious and adopts him as a friend. On the Sacred World of the Kai, Old Kai completes the first phase of Gohan's power unlock.

Goten and Trunks achieve Super Saiyan Gotenks for the first time, though the fusion wastes most of its duration showing off. Meanwhile, Majin Buu befriends an injured puppy he names Bee and, through Mr. Satan's influence, vows to stop killing. The peace is shattered when two deranged gunmen arrive and shoot the dog.

Van Zant's cruelty pushes Majin Buu past his breaking point. After healing both Bee and a mortally wounded Mr. Satan, Buu's uncontrollable rage causes his evil side to physically separate from his body. The newly formed Evil Buu kills Van Zant instantly and turns to confront his good half.

Good Buu battles Evil Buu in a desperate clash between the two halves. When Good Buu fires his Chocolate Beam, Evil Buu deflects it back, turning his counterpart into candy and devouring him. The resulting fusion creates Super Buu, who immediately senses the fighters at the Lookout and heads straight for them.

Super Buu arrives at the Lookout demanding his promised fight. When Piccolo stalls for time, Buu unleashes a single devastating attack that wipes out nearly every living person on Earth. Piccolo negotiates one hour to prepare Gotenks and sends the boys into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for emergency training.

Super Buu's patience snaps. He murders Chi-Chi by turning her into an egg and crushing it, then shatters the hourglass and demands his fight immediately. Piccolo leads Buu along the longest possible route to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, buying Goten and Trunks a few final hours to prepare. The showdown between Gotenks and Super Buu begins.

Gotenks unleashes a barrage of bizarre, self-named attacks against Super Buu inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, but none of them deal real damage. After Piccolo's worried expression snaps him out of his antics, Gotenks transforms into a Super Saiyan and debuts the Galactic Donut and the Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack.

Gotenks deploys an army of Super Ghost Kamikaze copies against Super Buu inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. The ghosts detonate across Buu's body and reduce him to scattered pieces, but the monster regenerates from nothing. Piccolo makes the desperate decision to destroy the Chamber's only exit, trapping everyone inside the void forever.

Super Buu screams so hard he tears a hole through the dimensional barrier and escapes the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, leaving Piccolo and Gotenks trapped inside. He turns everyone remaining on the Lookout into chocolate and devours them all. Gotenks achieves Super Saiyan 3 for the first time and blasts his own way out of the void.

Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks and Super Buu wage an all-out war across the Lookout, destroying the palace in the process. Gotenks demonstrates devastating power with techniques like the Brain Crush Hammer and the Charging Ultra Buu Buu Volleyball, but Super Buu keeps regenerating from every hit. The Lookout crumbles beneath them.

Gotenks' Super Saiyan 3 power fades at the worst possible moment, leaving him helpless against Super Buu. On the Sacred World of the Kai, Old Kai reveals Gohan's power unlock was completed minutes ago. Gohan unleashes his Ultimate form for the first time, says a final goodbye to his father, and is transported to Earth by Kibito to join the fight.

Ultimate Gohan arrives on the battlefield and completely dominates Super Buu. After powering up on the Sacred World of the Kai, Gohan returns wearing his father's gi and proves that his new strength far surpasses anything Buu has encountered. Every punch and kick lands with devastating precision, leaving Super Buu humiliated and desperate.

After being thoroughly outmatched by Ultimate Gohan, Super Buu detonates himself to escape certain defeat. The survivors regroup and locate Dende and Mr. Satan among the wreckage. Their reunion is short-lived, as Super Buu returns one hour later and demands a rematch with Gotenks, concealing a sinister plan beneath his back.

Super Buu absorbs Gotenks and Piccolo through a cunning trap, gaining both raw power and heightened intelligence. With this terrifying new form, he challenges Ultimate Gohan again. What begins as an even fight quickly turns against Gohan as fatigue sets in and Buu's absorbed abilities prove overwhelming.

Super Buu batters Gohan with stolen techniques while the Old Kai devises a desperate plan. He sacrifices his own life to resurrect Goku, then reveals the Potara earrings as the key to a permanent fusion that could finally stop the rampaging Majin. Meanwhile, Mr. Satan and Bee provide an unlikely distraction that saves Gohan from the brink.

Goku races to Earth with the Potara earrings as Super Buu nearly destroys the planet. Tien Shinhan makes a surprise appearance to save Dende, and Goku arrives just in time to slice Buu in half. But when Gotenks defuses inside Buu and Gohan drops his guard, Buu seizes the moment to absorb the strongest fighter on Earth.

With Gohan absorbed and all other options exhausted, Goku prepares to fuse with Mr. Satan using the Potara. At the last moment, he senses Vegeta's energy and teleports to his rival. After a fierce debate and a brutal beating from Super Buu, Vegeta swallows his pride and puts on the earring. The Saiyan prince and the low-class warrior become Vegito.

The fused warrior Vegito makes his spectacular debut against Super Buu. Even without transforming, Vegito effortlessly outclasses the absorbed villain, shrugging off attacks that would have killed Goku or Vegeta individually. After kicking a planet-destroying energy ball into space like a toy, Vegito ascends to Super Saiyan and announces his full power.

Super Vegito dominates Super Buu so thoroughly that the villain nearly tears reality apart in a rage. Buu's attempt to break through the dimensional walls threatens to collapse the universe itself. Vegito halts the catastrophe by smashing through Buu's energy shield, while on the Grand Kai's Planet, Krillin and Yamcha observe the battle from the afterlife.

Super Buu throws everything he has at Vegito, combining Ghost Kamikaze Attacks, Kamehamehas, and Masenko blasts in rapid succession. None of it works. Driven to desperation, Buu lures Vegito close and fires his Candy Beam, transforming the fused Saiyan into a small piece of coffee-flavored candy.

Turned into a tiny candy by Super Buu's beam, Vegito shocks everyone by retaining all of his power and fighting ability. The miniature warrior pummels Buu in a comedic yet devastating assault. After Buu reverses the transformation out of sheer frustration, Vegito resumes his domination, only to be secretly absorbed by a severed piece of Buu's head tentacle.

Vegito allows himself to be absorbed by Super Buu, shielding himself with a Saiyan energy barrier on the way down. Once inside, the Potara fusion unexpectedly breaks apart, separating Goku and Vegeta. The two Saiyans destroy their earrings and begin a treacherous journey through Buu's body to find their sons and Piccolo.

Goku and Vegeta battle giant worms and navigate deadly traps inside Super Buu's body before reaching his mind. There, they fight illusions of Gohan, Gotenks, and Piccolo created by Buu's thoughts. When Buu's hunger shifts his focus to desserts, the illusions transform into cakes, and the two Saiyans finally discover their friends sealed in strange pods.

Goku and Vegeta tear down the pods containing their sons and Piccolo, causing Super Buu to revert to a weaker, less intelligent form. They discover the original fat Buu sealed away inside and learn the history of how two Buus once existed. A battle erupts within Buu's mind, but the villain proves impossible to destroy in his own domain.

Vegeta tears out the pod containing the original fat Buu, triggering Super Buu's complete regression. Goku and Vegeta escape with their friends as the villain dissolves into liquid, then reconstitutes outside as a smaller, wilder creature. Kid Buu, the original and most dangerous form of Majin Buu, has been reborn.

Kid Buu's true nature is revealed through a flashback spanning five million years. He destroyed the West and North Supreme Kais, absorbed the South and Grand Supreme Kais, and was only tamed by the Grand Supreme Kai's gentle soul. Now stripped of all absorbed influences, Kid Buu destroys the Earth. Kibito Kai barely rescues Goku, Vegeta, Dende, Mr. Satan, and Bee before the planet is gone.

After Earth's destruction, Goku, Vegeta, and the survivors regroup on the Sacred World of the Kai. Kid Buu regenerates and rampages across the universe, destroying planets while searching for the Saiyans. When the heroes refuse fusion via Potara earrings, they power up to draw Buu to their location for a final confrontation.

Goku and Vegeta settle who fights Kid Buu first with a game of rock-paper-scissors. Goku wins, and after a fierce opening exchange as a Super Saiyan 2, he realizes Buu's raw power demands everything he has. With Mr. Satan trapped on the battlefield and the Kais watching from afar, Goku ascends to Super Saiyan 3.

As Goku battles Kid Buu at Super Saiyan 3, Vegeta watches from the sidelines and undergoes a profound internal transformation. Through flashbacks spanning their entire rivalry, Vegeta finally acknowledges what he has long denied: Goku is the superior fighter, driven not by pride or bloodlust, but by a pure love of the fight.

Goku needs just one minute to recharge his Super Saiyan 3 energy, so Vegeta volunteers to hold off Kid Buu alone. Transforming into Super Saiyan 2, the Saiyan Prince endures a savage beating, refusing to stay down even as his body fails him. His desperate stand becomes a race against the clock.

With Vegeta nearly dead at Kid Buu's hands, an unlikely hero steps forward. Mr. Satan charges into battle, and something extraordinary happens: Kid Buu cannot bring himself to finish him. The reason lies within Buu himself, as the good Majin Buu trapped inside intervenes, eventually breaking free and joining the fight.

Vegeta devises a plan that requires the Namekian Dragon Balls. Dende and Kibito Kai travel to New Namek, where Porunga is summoned. Two wishes restore Earth and revive everyone who died since the 25th World Tournament. With the planet and its people back, Vegeta reveals his true strategy: a Spirit Bomb powered by every soul on Earth.

Vegeta broadcasts a telepathic plea to the people of Earth, asking them to raise their hands and donate energy for the Spirit Bomb. Goku begins gathering power, receiving massive contributions from their friends. But the ordinary citizens of Earth refuse to cooperate, leaving the Spirit Bomb dangerously underpowered.

When Vegeta's pleas fail to motivate Earth's citizens, Mr. Satan steps in and does what no Saiyan could: he convinces the entire planet to raise their hands and share energy. Familiar faces from across Dragon Ball history contribute, and the Spirit Bomb finally reaches full power. Goku prepares to launch humanity's greatest collective weapon.

Goku launches the completed Spirit Bomb at Kid Buu, but the ancient destroyer pushes back. With Goku's strength completely drained, Vegeta uses the final Namekian wish to restore Goku's full power. Reborn as a Super Saiyan, Goku drives the Spirit Bomb through Kid Buu, obliterating him forever and bringing peace to the universe.

With Kid Buu destroyed, the heroes return to the Lookout for an emotional reunion. Goku reveals he is alive again permanently and tells Chi-Chi he loves her. Vegeta reluctantly agrees to let Good Buu live with Mr. Satan. Six months later, Shenron erases the world's memory of Buu, and the reformed Majin adjusts to city life.

Goku misses Bulma's barbecue party because he is busy protecting a nest of pterosaur eggs from predators in the wilderness. Chi-Chi fumes, the party feels incomplete without him, and Goku arrives just as everyone is packing up. This lighthearted filler episode, the first of the Peaceful World Saga, captures life in a time of peace.

Ten years after Kid Buu's defeat, the world has changed. Gohan is a scholar married to Videl, and they have a daughter named Pan. Vegeta and Bulma have a new child, Bulla. When Goku reveals that a powerful human fighter has entered the World Martial Arts Tournament, the old warriors decide to compete one more time.

The World Martial Arts Tournament bracket is drawn, and Goku spots the fighter he has been waiting for: a timid boy named Uub from a remote island. Goku reveals that Uub is the reincarnation of Kid Buu, reborn as an innocent child carrying immense dormant power. Pan demolishes her opponent, and Goku begins provoking Uub to unleash his hidden strength.

The final episode of Dragon Ball Z. Goku and Uub's fight escalates into a surprisingly even exchange, confirming the boy's extraordinary potential. Goku decides to leave the tournament and train Uub personally, saying goodbye to his family and friends before flying off with his new student toward a future of endless possibility.

Five years after defeating Piccolo at the World Martial Arts Tournament, Goku introduces his young son Gohan to his closest friends. Their peaceful reunion is shattered when a mysterious armored warrior arrives on Earth, targeting powerful fighters.

The mysterious warrior reveals himself as Raditz, Goku's older brother, and exposes the truth about Goku's alien heritage. When Goku refuses to join the Saiyans in their conquest, Raditz kidnaps Gohan to force his compliance.

Goku and Piccolo throw everything they have at Raditz, but the Saiyan warrior's power is overwhelming. Only through the ultimate sacrifice can they hope to stop him, and Goku pays the highest price a father can.

With Goku dead and a year until the Saiyans arrive, the heroes split up to prepare. Goku begins his million-mile journey along Snake Way in the afterlife, while Piccolo takes Gohan to train the boy's hidden potential.

Left alone in the wilderness, Gohan must survive on his own before his real training can begin. When the full moon rises, his Saiyan blood triggers a devastating transformation that forces Piccolo to take drastic measures.

Goku finally reaches the end of Snake Way and meets the eccentric King Kai. Before any real training can begin, Goku must first pass a peculiar test: making the martial arts master laugh.

Goku catches Bubbles and faces his second challenge on King Kai's planet: striking a swift grasshopper named Gregory with a heavy mallet. After weeks of effort, he masters the gravity and earns the right to learn King Kai's techniques.

Goku completes his training with King Kai and masters the Spirit Bomb. His friends use the Dragon Balls to wish him back to life, but the Saiyans arrive on Earth a day early, catching everyone off guard.

The Z Fighters gather to face Vegeta and Nappa, but first they must survive a cruel game against the Saibamen. What begins as a test of strength ends in tragedy when Yamcha falls to a Saibaman's suicidal attack.

Nappa enters the fight and proves far beyond anything the Z Fighters can handle. Chiaotzu sacrifices himself in a desperate kamikaze attack, and Tien burns through his life force in one final Tri-Beam, but neither can stop the Saiyan brute.

The three-hour reprieve expires and Goku has not arrived. As Nappa resumes his assault, Piccolo makes the selfless choice to shield Gohan from a lethal blast, sacrificing himself for the child he once vowed to protect.

Goku arrives at the battlefield just in time to save Gohan and Krillin. His training with King Kai has transformed him, and he dismantles Nappa with a level of power that stuns even the proud Saiyan Prince Vegeta.

Goku and Vegeta clash in an epic duel between Saiyan warriors. When Vegeta's base power proves superior, Goku is forced to push the Kaio-ken technique beyond its safe limits, risking his own body to keep up.

The battle between Goku and Vegeta reaches a fever pitch as their signature energy attacks collide in a beam struggle for the fate of Earth. Defeated in combat, Vegeta resorts to an artificial moonlight technique to trigger his Great Ape transformation.

Great Ape Vegeta overwhelms Goku, crushing him in his massive hands. Gohan and Krillin return to help, and Yajirobe lands a critical strike that severs Vegeta's tail. Goku entrusts Krillin with the last of his Spirit Bomb energy.

Krillin hurls the Spirit Bomb at Vegeta, but the Saiyan Prince dodges at the last moment. Gohan bounces it back, and the resulting hit nearly finishes Vegeta. When his tail regrows and triggers a Great Ape form, Gohan lands on Vegeta as he reverts, finally ending the battle.

Goku makes a controversial request: he asks Krillin to spare Vegeta, wanting the chance to fight him again someday. Vegeta escapes Earth, and the heroes discover that the planet Namek may hold the key to reviving their fallen friends.

After Bulma accidentally destroys Nappa's space pod, Mr. Popo reveals the existence of Kami's original Namekian ship hidden in the remote Yunzabit Heights. Bulma cracks the ship's voice-activated controls, and Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma blast off for Planet Namek.

Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma arrive on Namek after thirty days in space, only to discover that the tyrant Frieza and his army have beaten them there. Vegeta, fully healed and hungry for the Dragon Balls himself, is also en route.

Vegeta begins his rebellion against Frieza by eliminating Cui, while Gohan and Krillin fight off two of Frieza's soldiers who destroy their spaceship. On Earth, Goku makes a miraculous recovery with a Senzu Bean and prepares to follow his friends to Namek.

Goku blasts off for Namek aboard a specially modified spaceship, beginning intense gravity training at 20 times Earth's normal pull. On Namek, the locals mount a brave resistance against Frieza's soldiers, and elder Moori destroys their scouters to cut off the enemy's tracking ability.

Krillin and Gohan rescue the young Namekian Dende from Dodoria's grasp and escape using the Solar Flare technique. Vegeta intercepts the pursuing Dodoria and learns the devastating truth about Planet Vegeta's destruction at Frieza's hands, then eliminates the messenger.

Vegeta goes on the offensive, raiding a Namekian village to claim a Dragon Ball by force and hiding it underwater so Frieza cannot find it. Meanwhile, Dende leads Krillin on a journey to meet the Grand Elder, the ancient patriarch of the Namekian people.

Goku's fallen friends train alongside King Kai in the Other World while Goku ramps up to 50x gravity. On Namek, Krillin and Dende set out for Grand Elder Guru's tower, and Vegeta clashes with Zarbon, whose monstrous hidden form proves overwhelming.

Krillin meets Grand Elder Guru, who reads his past through telepathy and unlocks his dormant power. Meanwhile, Frieza punishes his own soldier for carelessness, then sends Zarbon to retrieve the wounded Vegeta for interrogation about the missing Dragon Ball.

Vegeta escapes Frieza's ship with all five Dragon Balls through a clever diversion, while Gohan recovers the ball Vegeta hid underwater. When Zarbon tracks Vegeta down for a rematch, the Saiyan prince is stronger and ready, finishing the fight decisively.

Gohan recovers the Four-Star Dragon Ball from its hiding spot and attempts to sneak past Vegeta on the way home. The Saiyan prince grows suspicious after their encounter, eventually realizing Gohan has taken the ball and giving chase.

Vegeta forms a reluctant alliance with Gohan and Krillin after sensing the approaching Ginyu Force. Grand Elder Guru awakens Gohan's dormant power, and the Ginyu Force touches down on Namek, ready to claim the Dragon Balls for Frieza.

The Ginyu Force intercepts Vegeta and the Earthlings, seizing the Dragon Balls. Guldo faces Krillin and Gohan first, using his time-freeze and telekinetic abilities to pin them down. Vegeta intervenes at the last moment, and the hulking Recoome steps up next.

Recoome overwhelms Vegeta, Krillin, and Gohan with terrifying brute strength while Frieza discovers the Dragon Balls require a password to activate. Just as Recoome snaps Gohan's neck, Goku's spaceship touches down on Namek.

Goku arrives on Namek and heals his injured friends with Senzu Beans before turning his attention to the Ginyu Force. He knocks Recoome out with a single blow and outmaneuvers both Burter and Jeice, revealing the staggering results of his gravity training.

Captain Ginyu arrives to face Goku personally after Jeice's retreat. The two warriors appear evenly matched at first, but Goku reveals a glimpse of his true power level, leaving the Ginyu Force captain stunned and shaken to his core.

Goku unleashes his full power, leaving Captain Ginyu in disbelief. On the other side of Namek, Nail confronts Frieza at Guru's home to buy time, and Ginyu resorts to a desperate, self-destructive strategy by firing his Body Change beam at Goku.

Ginyu parades around in Goku's stolen body, but he cannot access its full power. Krillin and Gohan see through the deception and fight back, while Vegeta eliminates Jeice and reveals just how much stronger he has become.

Vegeta batters Ginyu and forces him out of Goku's body through a clever interception, leaving the captain trapped in the body of a Namekian frog. With Goku placed in a healing tank, the Earthlings summon Porunga, Namek's Eternal Dragon.

The Earthlings use Porunga's wishes to revive Piccolo and teleport him to Namek. Vegeta wakes and demands the final wish for immortality, but Grand Elder Guru passes away before it can be granted, and Frieza arrives in a murderous rage.

Piccolo discovers the dying Nail and performs Namekian fusion, dramatically boosting his power. Meanwhile, Frieza grows tired of toying with the fighters in his first form and transforms into his towering second state, impaling Krillin on his horn in a terrifying display of cruelty.

Gohan explodes with rage after watching Krillin's brutal injury and unleashes a furious assault on Frieza. Dende reveals his healing powers, and the Z Fighters coordinate a desperate group effort to wound the tyrant before Piccolo finally arrives on the scene.

Piccolo, strengthened by his fusion with Nail, battles Frieza evenly in his second form. When the tyrant begins losing ground, he transforms into his terrifying third form and overwhelms Piccolo with devastating finger beams.

Frieza completes his final transformation into his sleek true form, a deceptively small figure with power beyond comprehension. His first act is to kill Dende, eliminating the group's healer. Vegeta orchestrates his own near-death beating to trigger a Saiyan power boost.

Vegeta tests his amplified power against Frieza in a desperate bid for supremacy, but the tyrant effortlessly deflects every assault. As Vegeta's confidence crumbles, Frieza delivers a savage beating that leaves the Saiyan prince broken. Meanwhile, Goku emerges fully healed from the rejuvenation tank, ready to enter the fray.

Frieza continues his merciless assault on the outmatched Vegeta as the other fighters watch helplessly. Goku finally arrives on the battlefield, but not before Frieza delivers a fatal Death Beam to the Saiyan prince. With his dying breath, Vegeta reveals the truth about Planet Vegeta's destruction and begs Goku to avenge their people.

Goku and Frieza finally clash in a battle that shakes Planet Namek to its foundations. The two warriors trade blows at near-equal strength, with Goku exploiting Frieza's inability to sense energy. However, Piccolo observes that neither combatant is truly fighting at full power yet.

Frieza reveals he has only been using a fraction of his power and escalates to 50%, completely overwhelming Goku even at Kaio-ken times ten. Meanwhile, Captain Ginyu causes chaos by body-swapping with Bulma and attempting to steal Piccolo's body on the battlefield.

With Ginyu's body-swap scheme foiled, Goku gambles everything on Kaio-ken times twenty combined with a massive Kamehameha. The desperate attack fails to defeat Frieza, leaving Goku battered and nearly spent. Visions of fallen Saiyans, including Vegeta and Bardock, push him to keep fighting.

Out of conventional options, Goku resorts to his ultimate technique: the Spirit Bomb. Drawing energy from neighboring worlds due to Namek's depleted resources, he struggles to gather enough power while Piccolo sacrifices himself to buy time against an increasingly suspicious Frieza.

Goku unleashes the Spirit Bomb on Frieza, and the massive energy sphere appears to destroy the tyrant. But Frieza survives, gravely wounds Piccolo, and murders Krillin in cold blood. The grief and rage from watching his best friend die triggers Goku's transformation into a Super Saiyan.

Newly transformed into a Super Saiyan, Goku completely dominates Frieza in combat. Every attack the tyrant throws is shrugged off effortlessly. When Frieza realizes his worst nightmare has come true, he hurls a Death Ball at Namek's core in a desperate attempt to destroy the planet and the Saiyan legend along with it.

Frieza's attack on Namek's core starts a five-minute countdown to the planet's destruction. Goku allows Frieza to power up to 100%, determined to beat the tyrant at his absolute best. Meanwhile, Gohan rescues Bulma from the crumbling landscape and gets Piccolo to safety aboard the spaceship.

Frieza at full power trades blows with Super Saiyan Goku while Namek crumbles around them. On Earth, Kami and Mr. Popo gather the Dragon Balls and summon Shenron. Their wish to revive everyone killed by Frieza's forces sets a crucial plan in motion to save the fighters still stranded on the dying world.

Shenron's wish succeeds, reviving everyone killed by Frieza's forces on Namek. Grand Elder Guru returns to life, reactivating the Namekian Dragon Balls. Dende races to summon Porunga while Goku insists that only he and Frieza remain on the dying planet to finish their fight.

Alone on the vanishing planet, Goku and Frieza continue their duel as Namek's final moments approach. Goku notices Frieza's power rapidly draining due to the strain of maintaining full output. Choosing to walk away from the weakened tyrant, Goku is caught off guard when Frieza launches his Death Saucers in a last act of defiance.

On Earth, Grand Elder Guru passes his authority to Moori before dying peacefully, ensuring the Namekian Dragon Balls survive. On Namek, the bisected Frieza begs Goku for mercy. Goku shares his energy with the tyrant, but Frieza betrays this kindness with one final attack, forcing Goku to retaliate before Namek explodes.

With Namek destroyed and Goku presumed dead, the survivors on Earth use the Namekian Dragon Balls to revive their fallen friends over the following months. When Porunga reveals that Goku is actually alive and will return on his own terms, the Z Fighters settle into a period of peace as they await his homecoming.

A year after Namek, the peace is shattered when Frieza, rebuilt as a cyborg, arrives on Earth alongside his father King Cold. The Z Fighters scramble to intercept but find themselves outmatched without Goku. A mysterious teenager armed with a sword appears and single-handedly confronts Frieza's forces.

The mysterious teenager reveals himself as a Super Saiyan and systematically dismantles Mecha Frieza, slicing the tyrant to pieces before incinerating the remains. He then dispatches King Cold with equal efficiency, destroying the Cold family's ship for good measure. The stranger invites the stunned Z Fighters to join him in greeting Goku.

Goku returns to Earth exactly as the mysterious teen predicted. After a brief sparring match to test Goku's strength, the boy reveals himself as Trunks, the future son of Vegeta and Bulma. He warns Goku of deadly Androids that will appear in three years and gives him medicine for a fatal heart virus.

Goku demonstrates his new Instant Transmission technique and explains how he survived Namek by escaping to Planet Yardrat. The Z Fighters agree to train intensely for three years rather than seek out Dr. Gero preemptively. A montage covers their rigorous preparation, including Vegeta's obsessive gravity training and a growing connection with Bulma.

Three years of training culminate as the Z Fighters converge on Amenbo Island to await the Androids. The machines prove impossible to detect by ki, forcing a ground-level search through the city of Sasebo. Android 20 ambushes Yamcha, draining his energy and impaling him through the chest before the others can intervene.

Super Saiyan Goku engages Android 19, initially dominating the fight. However, the heart virus Trunks warned about strikes mid-battle, sapping Goku's strength at the worst possible moment. Android 19 absorbs Goku's Kamehameha energy and presses the advantage as Goku collapses, leaving Piccolo to intervene.

Vegeta arrives just in time to save Goku from Android 19's energy drain. After Yamcha takes the ailing Goku home for treatment, Vegeta stuns everyone by revealing his Super Saiyan transformation and systematically dismantles Android 19 with his Big Bang Attack.

Android 20 hides in the cliffs and ambushes Piccolo, draining his energy before Gohan intervenes. Future Trunks returns from his timeline and is alarmed to discover that these Androids do not match the ones he fought in the future.

The Z Fighters race to find Dr. Gero's hidden laboratory before he can activate Androids 17 and 18. Future Trunks clashes with Vegeta over protecting his family, while Piccolo reveals the truth about Trunks' identity to the group.

Dr. Gero reaches his lab and activates Androids 17 and 18, but they immediately rebel against their creator. Android 17 destroys the control remote and kills Dr. Gero, then the trio awakens Android 16 and sets out to find Goku.

Android 18 battles Super Saiyan Vegeta and defeats him with alarming ease. When Future Trunks, Piccolo, and Tien attempt to intervene, Android 17 swiftly dispatches them all. Before departing, Android 18 leaves Krillin with an unexpected kiss.

After the devastating loss to the androids, Piccolo flies to the Lookout to convince Kami to merge with him, believing fusion is the only path to gaining enough power. Kami hesitates, unsure that the androids represent a true evil worth sacrificing his identity over.

Bulma discovers a second time machine identical to Trunks' capsule, suggesting that something else traveled back in time. Trunks and Gohan investigate and find a mysterious shed exoskeleton inside, while Kami senses a terrible evil he first detected four years ago.

Kami and Piccolo complete their fusion, creating a Super Namekian of immense power. The reborn warrior descends to Gingertown, where an entire population has vanished, and comes face to face with a grotesque green creature lurking in the shadows.

Piccolo battles the mysterious creature in Gingertown and gains the upper hand, but the monster shocks everyone by using familiar techniques including Piccolo's own Special Beam Cannon and Goku's Kamehameha. The creature identifies itself as Cell, another creation of Dr. Gero.

Cell reveals his origins as a bio-android built from the cells of the greatest fighters and explains that absorbing Androids 17 and 18 will grant him perfection. Piccolo regenerates his arm and prepares to strike, but Cell escapes using Tien's Solar Flare technique.

Trunks and Krillin destroy Cell's embryonic form and Dr. Gero's supercomputer in the underground lab, erasing the creature from the present timeline. Krillin barely survives an encounter with Cell in the wild, and Goku finally recovers from the heart virus.

Goku uses Instant Transmission to bring the Saiyans to the Lookout, where Vegeta and Future Trunks enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train. Meanwhile, the androids locate Kame House and Piccolo confronts Android 17 in a fierce opening exchange.

Piccolo and Android 17 wage an intense, evenly matched battle across the island chain. Bulma finishes building a remote shutdown device for the androids, but Cell senses the fight and begins racing toward the battlefield to claim his prey.

Cell arrives at the island battlefield and proves far too powerful for Piccolo. Despite the Namekian's desperate warnings, Android 17 refuses to flee, and Piccolo throws himself into a final stand to buy time. On the Lookout, Gohan senses his mentor falling.

Android 16 intervenes to fight Cell and proves to be his equal, even ripping off Cell's tail. But Cell regenerates and ultimately absorbs Android 17, transforming into his horrifying Semi-Perfect form. Tien Shinhan fires his Neo Tri-Beam to buy Android 18 time to escape.

Tien's Neo Tri-Beam keeps Cell pinned until his body gives out. Goku uses Instant Transmission to rescue both Tien and the fallen Piccolo, then Vegeta and Future Trunks emerge from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with dramatically increased power.

Vegeta arrives at the island chain and confronts Semi-Perfect Cell, revealing his new Super Saiyan Second Grade transformation. The Saiyan prince utterly dominates Cell in combat, while Goku and Gohan begin their own intense training inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Vegeta continues to dominate Cell, who desperately argues that his Perfect Form would provide a real challenge. Vegeta's Saiyan pride takes the bait. Meanwhile, Krillin locates Android 18 but cannot bring himself to activate the shutdown remote, choosing to spare her.

Vegeta allows Cell to pursue Android 18, and Future Trunks tries to stop both his father and the bio-android. Despite Trunks' best efforts, Cell blinds everyone with a Solar Flare, absorbs Android 18, and achieves his terrifying Perfect Form.

Inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Gohan achieves Super Saiyan for the first time after Goku pushes him to his emotional limit. Outside, Perfect Cell demonstrates his overwhelming power by effortlessly crushing Vegeta, while Future Trunks hides his true strength.

Vegeta channels everything into his devastating Final Flash, managing to obliterate Cell's right arm. But Cell's regeneration renders the sacrifice meaningless, and Vegeta falls unconscious. Future Trunks steps forward, unleashing hidden strength to buy time for Krillin to rescue his father.

Future Trunks pushes his Super Saiyan power to its absolute limit against Cell, but discovers that raw strength without speed is worthless. Inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Goku reaches the same conclusion independently and chooses a different path forward.

Cell hijacks a television broadcast to announce the Cell Games to the entire world, promising total annihilation if no one can defeat him. The Z Fighters regroup at Capsule Corporation while Goku and Gohan continue training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Goku and Gohan emerge from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber in permanent Super Saiyan states, shocking everyone with their composed power. Goku teleports directly to Cell's arena to assess his opponent, then returns with a calm confidence that unsettles his allies.

Earth's military launches a full-scale assault on Cell, only to be completely annihilated. While Goku and Gohan enjoy peaceful days at home, Goku devises a plan to restore the Dragon Balls by recruiting a new Guardian from the Namekian people.

Goku travels to New Namek and recruits young Dende as Earth's new Guardian. Dende restores the Dragon Balls with upgraded capabilities, and the Z Fighters spend the remaining days preparing for the Cell Games as Mr. Satan rallies public support.

The Cell Games begin with Mr. Satan's dramatic entrance and his students' quick defeats. After Mr. Satan himself is swatted aside by Cell with a single casual blow, Goku steps into the ring as the first real challenger, and the true battle begins.

Goku and Cell clash at full power in the Cell Games ring, trading blows at speeds barely visible to onlookers. Cell cycles through stolen techniques from Tien, Piccolo, and Frieza, but Goku counters each one, forcing both fighters to reveal more of their true strength.

Cell destroys the tournament ring to remove the possibility of a ring-out victory, escalating the fight to a battle with no rules. Goku unleashes his Instant Kamehameha, a point-blank blast that obliterates Cell's upper body, but the android regenerates and the war of attrition continues.

Goku shocks everyone by surrendering to Cell and naming Gohan as the next fighter. Despite protests from Piccolo and Krillin, Goku gives Cell a Senzu Bean and sends his young son into the ring, betting everything on Gohan's untapped potential.

Cell deliberately tortures Gohan to provoke his hidden power, but the young Saiyan refuses to fight back. Piccolo confronts Goku about the flaw in his plan: Gohan does not share his father's love of battle. Android 16 intervenes with a desperate gambit of his own.

Android 16's self-destruct attempt fails because Bulma removed his bomb. Cell spawns the vicious Cell Juniors to attack Gohan's friends, and when Cell destroys Android 16 for good, Gohan's grief finally triggers his transformation into Super Saiyan 2.

Super Saiyan 2 Gohan tears through the Cell Juniors without effort and reclaims the stolen Senzu Beans. Turning his attention to Cell, Gohan demonstrates a level of power that renders the previously invincible android completely outmatched.

Gohan systematically dismantles Cell at every level, overpowering his full-strength Kamehameha and shrugging off his bulked-up Powerhouse form. A devastating combination of kicks forces Cell to expel Android 18, reverting him to his Semi-Perfect state as his body begins to swell ominously.

Cell triggers his self-destruct sequence to destroy Earth, and Goku sacrifices himself by teleporting Cell to King Kai's planet. But Cell survives the explosion, returns stronger than ever, kills Future Trunks, and injures Gohan, leaving the Z Fighters with no options remaining.

Gohan and Cell collide in a final Kamehameha clash, with Goku coaching his son from Other World. When Vegeta lands a critical distraction blast on Cell, Gohan releases his full remaining power and obliterates Cell for good, saving the Earth at last.

The Z Fighters gather the Dragon Balls to revive those killed by Cell. Goku chooses to remain dead, believing Earth is safer without him attracting threats. Krillin uses the final wish to protect Androids 17 and 18, and Future Trunks prepares to return to his own timeline.

Future Trunks returns to his devastated timeline and systematically destroys both Androids 17 and 18 with his newfound power. Three years later, he eliminates the imperfect Cell of his era, finally bringing lasting peace to his world.

Seven years after the Cell Games, teenage Gohan begins attending Orange Star High School in Satan City. After stopping a bank robbery as a Super Saiyan, he draws unwanted attention and seeks Bulma's help to create a disguise that will protect his identity.

Gohan debuts his Great Saiyaman persona while saving a hijacked bus and rescuing a baby pterodactyl from a circus. When Videl uncovers his secret identity during the rescue, Gohan agrees to enter the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament, where Goku announces he will return to Earth for one day.

Gohan juggles his double life as a high school student and the masked hero Great Saiyaman. After saving a bus, a plane, and a burning building, he catches Videl's attention, and her suspicions about his true identity grow stronger with every rescue.

Gohan's rescue of a baby pterodactyl from a circus exposes his secret identity to Videl. Armed with this knowledge, she blackmails him into entering the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament, and the news even reaches Goku in the Other World.

Gohan begins training with his little brother Goten and is stunned to discover the boy can already transform into a Super Saiyan despite never learning to fly. Videl arrives at the Son household, ready to collect on Gohan's promise to teach her flight.

Gohan teaches Videl the basics of ki control and flight while training alongside Goten. Within a day Videl learns to hover, Goten masters flying, and across town Vegeta discovers his own son Trunks has achieved Super Saiyan as well.

The day of the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament arrives and the entire Dragon Team converges on the grounds. Goku returns to Earth for a single day, meeting his youngest son Goten for the very first time. The punching machine qualifiers begin with explosive results.

The preliminary rounds of the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament kick off with a punching machine test that the Dragon Team breezes through. Vegeta ends the qualifiers by destroying the machine entirely, and the group heads off to watch the Junior Division.

The Junior Division reaches its climax as Goten and Trunks tear through their brackets and collide in the finals. Their battle escalates beyond anything the audience expects, with both boys secretly transforming into Super Saiyans before Trunks claims the championship.

Trunks wins the Junior Division and faces Mr. Satan in a farcical exhibition match. The World Champion fakes a loss to save face, but even Trunks' lightest punch sends him flying. Afterward, Goten and Trunks hatch a plan to sneak into the adult bracket.

As the adult division draw takes place, the Z Fighters encounter two enigmatic strangers named Shin and Kibito. Piccolo senses something deeply unsettling about the pair. The matchups are set, placing Gohan against Kibito and Goku against Vegeta.

The adult division opens with Krillin easily dispatching his opponent, but the second match delivers a shock. Piccolo forfeits against Shin after sensing a power beyond his comprehension. The third match pits Videl against Spopovich, whose unnatural resilience defies all logic.

Videl continues her one-sided assault on Spopovich, but every devastating blow is met with the same eerie recovery. Goku recognizes that something has fundamentally changed about Spopovich since his last tournament appearance and urges Videl to abandon the fight.

Spopovich brutalizes Videl mercilessly, pushing Gohan to the brink of rage. Before he can intervene, the fight ends and Gohan heals Videl with a Senzu Bean. His own match with Kibito begins, only for Yamu and Spopovich to ambush him and drain his energy.

The Supreme Kai reveals his plan to track Yamu and Spopovich back to the evil wizard Babidi. Gohan's energy is drained in a calculated ambush, and the Z Fighters join Shin in pursuit while Videl learns the truth about who really defeated Cell.

The Supreme Kai reveals the full history of Majin Buu and the wizard Babidi during the pursuit. Videl turns back after learning the truth about Cell. The group arrives at Babidi's hidden spaceship just as the sorcerer and the fearsome Demon King Dabura emerge.

Babidi disposes of Yamu and Spopovich after receiving the stolen energy. Dabura launches a sudden attack that kills Kibito and turns Krillin and Piccolo to stone. The remaining Z Fighters are forced to enter Babidi's ship, where a gauntlet of battles awaits.

Vegeta demolishes Pui Pui on Stage 1 without breaking a sweat, shrugging off Babidi's attempt to tilt the fight by changing the gravity. On Stage 2, Goku faces the light-eating monster Yakon and defeats it by deliberately overloading it with Super Saiyan energy.

While the Z Fighters progress through Babidi's ship, the World Martial Arts Tournament shifts to a Battle Royal format. Mr. Satan regrets suggesting the change when Android 18 and the disguised Mighty Mask dominate the ring, ignoring him entirely.

The Battle Royal heats up as Android 18 faces Mighty Mask, unaware that Goten and Trunks are hidden inside the costume. When the boys go Super Saiyan during the fight, 18 sees through the disguise and slices the costume apart with a Destructo Disc.

Android 18 cuts a deal with Mr. Satan, throwing the final match in exchange for 20 million zeni. Satan claims another championship while the real fight begins deep in Babidi's ship, where Gohan faces the Demon King Dabura on Stage 3.

Gohan struggles against Dabura, and Vegeta's frustration with Gohan's performance catches the Demon King's attention. Sensing the darkness in Vegeta's heart, Dabura and Babidi devise a plan to turn the Saiyan prince against his own allies using manipulation sorcery.

Vegeta deliberately attacks the tournament crowd to provoke Goku into an all-out battle. After a tense standoff, the two Saiyans relocate to a barren wasteland where their long-awaited rematch as Super Saiyan 2 warriors finally begins.

The fierce battle between Goku and Vegeta rages on, fueling Majin Buu's revival meter with every blow. While the Saiyans trade devastating attacks, Gohan and Supreme Kai reach Babidi's inner sanctum only to discover Buu's egg is about to hatch.

Majin Buu's egg cracks open as Gohan desperately fires a Kamehameha to stop the resurrection. The egg splits apart and appears empty, but the smoke that poured from it gathers into a terrifying new form. Buu has arrived.

Majin Buu reveals his terrifying power by effortlessly defeating Dabura and overwhelming Gohan. Vegeta sucker-punches Goku after refusing to postpone their fight, then heads off alone to face the newly revived monster.

Buu demonstrates his grotesque ability to turn opponents into food, devouring Dabura as a cookie and freeing Krillin and Piccolo from their stone prisons. Vegeta destroys Babidi's ship just as Buu prepares to finish off Supreme Kai.

Vegeta confronts Majin Buu in a ferocious solo battle to avenge Gohan. Despite landing devastating blows and punching a hole through Buu's stomach, the Majin regenerates instantly and retaliates with a body-wide explosion that leaves Vegeta critically wounded.

Vegeta makes the ultimate sacrifice to protect his family and atone for his sins. After a tearful farewell to Trunks, the Saiyan prince detonates his own life force in a massive explosion aimed at destroying Majin Buu once and for all.

Vegeta's sacrifice proves futile as Majin Buu regenerates from scattered pieces and restores Babidi as well. With their strongest fighters gone, Piccolo pins Earth's last hope on Goten and Trunks and sends them to the Lookout.

Goku arrives at the Lookout and reveals a secret technique called Fusion, learned from the Metamorans in Other World. With Goten and Trunks as the ideal candidates, a new plan to defeat Majin Buu takes shape.

Shenron revives everyone killed that day, and Goku returns the Dragon Balls to stone to preserve future wishes. On the Sacred World of the Kai, Kibito rescues Gohan, who turns out to be alive after all.

Babidi broadcasts a telepathic ultimatum to all of humanity, demanding the surrender of Piccolo, Goten, and Trunks. Meanwhile, on the Sacred World of the Kai, Gohan is challenged to pull the legendary Z Sword from its resting place.

Gohan transforms into a Super Saiyan and successfully extracts the Z Sword, though wielding its incredible weight proves to be a challenge of its own. Babidi discovers the location of Trunks' home, putting the Dragon Radar in jeopardy.

Goku teleports to stall Majin Buu while Trunks races home to retrieve the Dragon Radar. To buy time, Goku demonstrates the stages of Super Saiyan power before unveiling his ultimate transformation: Super Saiyan 3.

Trunks retrieves the Dragon Radar and Goku powers down, telling Buu that a stronger fighter will challenge him in two days. After Goku departs, Buu grows tired of Babidi's insults and kills the wizard by punching his head clean off.

With Babidi gone, Buu continues his destructive rampage across the globe. At the Lookout, Goku races against his dwindling time on Earth to teach Goten and Trunks the awkward but essential Fusion Dance.

Goku demonstrates Super Saiyan 3 one final time at the boys' request, burning through his last minutes on Earth. After an emotional farewell, he returns to Other World and learns from King Yemma that Gohan is still alive.

Goku tracks Gohan to the Sacred World of the Kai and joins his Z Sword training. When a test of the sword's durability goes wrong, the blade shatters and releases a being trapped inside for fifteen generations: the Old Kai.

Old Kai reveals he can unlock a person's dormant potential beyond all limits, though the ritual takes over twenty hours. On Earth, Goten and Trunks finally perform a successful Fusion and become Gotenks, who immediately rushes off to fight Buu.

Gotenks challenges Majin Buu but is quickly overwhelmed by the Majin's superior power. Meanwhile, Mr. Satan reluctantly approaches Buu and inadvertently becomes the monster's personal servant through a series of absurd interactions.

Old Kai's power-up ceremony continues as Gohan sits motionless for twenty hours. On Earth, Goten and Trunks achieve Super Gotenks, and Mr. Satan nearly convinces Buu to stop killing, until a hunter shoots Buu's new puppy friend.

A pair of gunmen shoot Buu's beloved puppy and wound Mr. Satan, triggering an unprecedented emotional rupture within Majin Buu. The rage building inside him becomes too much to contain, and a second, far more dangerous version of Buu separates from his body.

Evil Buu proves overwhelmingly superior to his good counterpart, reflecting the candy beam back at Fat Buu and devouring him. The resulting fusion creates Super Buu, who immediately flies to the Lookout and demands to fight Gotenks.

Super Buu unleashes a devastating homing attack that wipes out nearly every human on Earth. Piccolo and Videl convince him to wait one hour for Gotenks to prepare, but Buu's impatience and Chi-Chi's death push everyone to the edge.

Piccolo leads Super Buu into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber where Goten and Trunks have been training with desperate intensity. The boys fuse into Gotenks and, after some warm-up theatrics, begin their showdown with the monster who killed their loved ones.

Gotenks unleashes a barrage of creative but ineffective special moves against Super Buu before revealing his true trump card: the Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack. The explosive ghost technique appears to destroy Buu completely, but Piccolo's desperate act changes everything.

Super Buu's hysterical screaming tears a hole between dimensions, allowing him to escape the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. After turning everyone on the Lookout into chocolate, he feasts while Gotenks reveals his hidden power: Super Saiyan 3.

Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks goes on a furious offensive against Super Buu, destroying the Lookout in the process. He traps Buu inside a ring of energy donuts and spikes him toward the Earth's surface like a volleyball, but Buu shrugs off every attack.

Gotenks' Super Saiyan 3 power fades at the worst possible moment, leaving him helpless against Super Buu. On the Sacred World of the Kai, Gohan completes Old Kai's power-up ritual and returns to Earth wearing his father's colors, arriving just as the fusion splits apart.

Gohan reveals the full extent of his unlocked potential and dominates Super Buu in every exchange. Outmatched and desperate, Buu attempts to self-destruct and take everyone with him, but Gohan evacuates the area and survives. Buu regenerates and regroups with a new plan.

Super Buu manipulates Goten and Trunks into fusing again, then springs his trap. Detached pieces of his body engulf both Gotenks and Piccolo, absorbing them. With their power and intelligence added to his own, Buu becomes strong enough to overwhelm Gohan.

Super Buu uses stolen techniques from Gotenks and Piccolo to batter Gohan relentlessly. In Other World, Old Kai sacrifices his life to resurrect Goku, then gives him the Potara earrings and explains their power to create a permanent fusion.

Goku returns to Earth with the Potara earrings but the fusion plan unravels. Gohan loses his earring, Gotenks' fusion expires inside Buu weakening him, and then Buu absorbs Gohan. Goku finds Vegeta and convinces him to fuse, creating a new warrior: Vegito.

Vegito proves to be overwhelmingly superior to Super Buu, effortlessly deflecting a planet-destroying attack and dominating every exchange. After powering up to Super Vegito, he batters Buu so thoroughly that the creature resorts to desperate, unconventional tactics.

Vegito continues to humiliate Super Buu, even fighting effectively after being turned into candy. When Buu reverses the transformation, Vegito resumes his assault and begins physically tearing Buu apart. Buu exploits a torn piece to absorb Vegito from behind.

Inside Buu's body, Vegito's barrier kept him intact during absorption. He unexpectedly splits back into Goku and Vegeta, who navigate Buu's interior to free their absorbed friends. Cutting down the cocoons causes Super Buu to regress, but his mind fights back.

Vegeta tears down Fat Buu's pod inside Super Buu, triggering a catastrophic transformation. Goku and Vegeta grab their friends and escape through a steam vent as Super Buu degenerates first into a hulking brute and then into his original form: a small, childlike creature of pure evil.

Kibito Kai explains the ancient history of the Supreme Kais and how each absorption shaped Buu into different forms. Kid Buu wastes no time, destroying the Earth with a single attack. Goku, Vegeta, Dende, Mr. Satan, and Bee barely escape to the Sacred World of the Kai.

Kid Buu rampages across the universe destroying planets until he senses Goku and Vegeta on the Sacred World of the Kai. Both Saiyans refuse the Potara earrings. Goku wins a game of rock-paper-scissors for the right to fight first and engages Kid Buu as a Super Saiyan 2.

Goku escalates to Super Saiyan 3 but discovers that even this form cannot put Kid Buu down permanently. After exhausting himself with a full-power Kamehameha that Buu simply regenerates from, Goku collapses. Vegeta steps in and takes a brutal beating while finally acknowledging Goku as the superior fighter.

Goku needs just one minute to gather enough energy for a finishing blow, and Vegeta volunteers to stall Kid Buu despite knowing that death while already dead means permanent erasure. Vegeta endures savage punishment while Goku struggles to power up, until Mr. Satan stumbles into the fight.

When Mr. Satan confronts Kid Buu, the monster expels Good Buu from within. As Goku's Super Saiyan 3 power fades, Vegeta devises a plan using the Namekian Dragon Balls to restore Earth and revive the fallen, setting the stage for the ultimate Spirit Bomb.

With Earth restored, Goku begins gathering energy for the Spirit Bomb while Vegeta pleads with humanity to raise their hands. Despite their desperate appeals, the people of Earth refuse to cooperate, leaving the bomb woefully incomplete as Good Buu fights to buy time.

After Vegeta's pleas fail, Mr. Satan steps forward and rallies humanity to donate their energy. The Spirit Bomb is completed at last, and with Good Buu pinning Kid Buu down and Mr. Satan pulling Vegeta to safety, Goku launches the massive sphere.

Kid Buu catches the Spirit Bomb and begins pushing it back, draining Goku of his remaining strength. A final wish to Porunga restores Goku's full power, allowing him to drive the bomb home and obliterate Majin Buu once and for all.

With Majin Buu destroyed, Goku and his friends return to Earth to celebrate. Good Buu struggles to find his place in a world that fears him, but with Mr. Satan's help, the lovable pink warrior begins his journey toward acceptance.

A decade of peace has transformed the Z Fighters' lives. As old friends reunite at the World Martial Arts Tournament, Goku reveals that a mysterious young human fighter named Uub possesses power that could rival even the Saiyans.

Goku and Uub clash at the World Martial Arts Tournament, and the young boy's hidden power begins to surface. Recognizing Uub's extraordinary potential, Goku makes a life-changing decision to leave and train him as Earth's next great protector.
