Everyone is at peace after the great battle against Piccolo. Is all this about to end when Goku learns about his true identity?...
This is the series where it all began. In this page, I will give you a brief summary of what happened in this series. Anyway, the story starts out when:
Goku has a reunion with his friends and introduces them to Gohan, his five year old son. However, a Saiyan alien lands on Earth and goes out to seek Goku. He introduces himself as Raditz, Goku's older brother, and asks Goku to join him in the Saiyan quest of universal destruction and conquering. But, when Goku refuses, Raditz kidnaps Gohan to blackmail Goku to kill 100 innocent civilians. However, Goku remains loyal to Earth and decides to rescue Gohan through another method-- by killing Raditz! Surprisingly, Piccolo allies with Goku and the first fight of Dragonball Z began. They fight back and forth both Piccolo and Goku having no effect on Raditz. Raditz then attacks Goku and shoots him out of the shy with a fireball. Gohan sees this and gets very amd. Here is where we first see Gohan's "hidden power". Gohan's powerlevel raises to 750 and headbuts Radits causing his armor to crack. All this time Goku was sneaking up on Radits and getting him in a hold. Piccolo decides to gather energy to do a special beam cannon on Raditz. Meanwhile, Gokou stalls time by holding him. At the advantage, Piccolo unleashes his special beam cannon, which blasts Radits going through him and then through Goku mortally wounding them both. Kulilin finds the fighters and laughs at the dying Raditz as he mocks him that Goku will be brought back to life through the power of the Dragonballs. Goku's brother replies that the device he uses to detect energy levels can also be used for communication. He sends the news about the Dragonballs to his two comrades, and dies. Soon after Goku dies as well.
Because Piccolo discovered that Gohan had hidden powers when Gohan unknowingly headbutts and damages Raditz, he kidnaps Gohan in an attempt to train him. Goku, rather than retiring in Heaven, is sent on a quest to run on Snake Way and to seek King Kai to receive training for the upcoming fight with the upcoming Saiyans. The rest of the Z warriors (Kulilin, Yamcha, Tenshin-han, and Chauzu) are gathered to receive special training from Kami.
Season #1 of Dragonball Z on American television ends here.
One year later, Nappa and Vegeta (the evil Saiyans) arrive to Earth. (But, they intend to find the Dragonballs to be granted the wish of immortality rather that to bring back the life of their unworthy comrade.) Vegeta and Nappa use thier scouters to find the people with he hightest power levels (Piccolo and Gohan). The rest of the gang (Yamcha, Tien, Kulilin, and Chauzu) show up before the saiyans do. They don't fight Vegeta and Nappa at first. First came the battle against the Saiba-men (little Green monsters) that Nappa planted. The Saiba-men fight, but are eventually killed by Vegeta and Kulilin. (At one of these fights, Yamcha is killed.) After their defeat, our heroes fight Nappa; Vegeta stands in the background and watches. In a series of battles, Chauzu dies as he sacrifices himself in an attempt to blow up Nappa; Tenshin-han dies by using up his strength to try to kill Nappa; Piccolo dies when he covers Gohan from Nappa's fireball. Finally, Goku arrives and easily defeats Nappa. Vegeta sees Nappa's uselessness and kills him with a single fireball.
As you all can guess, the remaining Z warriors begin to fight Vegeta. Goku begins to fight Vegeta. After fighting a while, Vegeta sees that Goku is better than him, so Vegeta decieds to blow-up the earth. Goku shots back and wins sending Vegeta up into the sky on an energy blast. The odds are against Vegeta, so Vegeta creates a energy ball that creates light like the moon. Then, he turns into his full moon stage and transforms. Our heroes get kicked around, but Vegeta later gets his tail cut off by Yajirobe. Gokou donates energy from his Tenki-Dama to Kulilin. This fireball hits Vegeta, but Vegeta survives. Meanwhile, Gohan's tail grows back. Gohan turns into his full moon stage and kicks Vegeta around. Later, Gohan gets his tail cut off by Vegeta and finally turns back into a little boy... landing right on top of Vegeta. Vegeta, weary and defeated, crawls to his space shuttle and leaves Earth.
This is not the end of Vegeta...
