Movie Guide
Movie 1: Dead Zone (Revenge of the Demon's Son, Return my Gohan!)
This would "take place" probably after that battle with Raditz. In the beginning, Gohan is kidnapped by Garlic Jr. and his henchmen for Gohan's dragonball. On Kami-Sama's tower Garlic Jr. puts all of the dragonballs together and summons Shenlong as Goku comes to save his son. But Goku is too late as Garlic Jr. wishes for immortality and his wish is granted. Kami-Sama eventually comes and attempts to stop Garlic Jr. but the angry Garlic jr. hits Kami and tells about how he will receive vengeance for Kami causing the destruction of his father. Goku fights Garlic Jr.'s warriors and Krillin arrives to help. Then Piccolo comes and helps in the fight against Garlic Jr.'s henchmen. Eventually, they destroy all of Garlic Jr.'s warriors except for Garlic Jr who transforms to fight them. After they think they've destroyed Garlic Jr., Goku and Piccolo start to fight but turn to see that Garlic Jr. isn't finished after all. Garlic Jr. decides to create some sort of vortex that will suck away Goku and Piccolo, but Gohan surprises everyone by showing a huge amount of power. Gohan charges up enough to cause Garlic Jr. to lose his footing and become sealed in his own "dead zone."
Movie 2: The World's Strongest (The World's Strongest Man)
This would "take place" after the training with King Kai because Goku uses the Spirit Bomb and uses the Kaio-Kan to win battles. In the beginning, Gohan and Oolong are climbing a mountain in an arctic like area to get some Dragonballs. More and more continually appear on the Dragon radar until all 7 are there. Then, we learn an old guy has summoned the dragon and makes a wish for the dragon to melt the ice so his mentor can get untrapped. Then, Oolong and Gohan run into Piccolo and they all are attacked by some short bio-warriors. Piccolo kills some of them, but some other bio-warriors surround Piccolo and Piccolo screams in pain until he dissapears. Back at Master Roshi's house, Master Roshi and Bulma are captured and taken to a large facility in the arctic area. There, Master Roshi fights three biowarriors from Dr. Kochin (the same guy who wished his master back from Shenlong) who we learn is a scientist. Master Roshi fails and Bulma is chained up in the room with the old scientist. Bulma learns he has rescued Dr. Wheelo from the ice from his wish. We learn Dr. Wheelo is only a brain leftover from when they were hit by ice that caved in on their lair. She tells them if they're looking for the world's strongest person, then they should see Goku.
Goku comes to save Master Roshi and Bulma but is ambushed on the outside of their facility by a large, yellow bio-warrior. He runs inside and survives through a trap of spinning, spiked balls. Goku then uses his Kaio-Kan attack to destroy the large bio-warrior. After that, two more bio-warriors come after him and Krillin and Gohan come to help in the fight. Krillin and Piccolo are electrocuted while Goku is frozen in ice by a bio-warrior. Goku breaks through and destroys the bio-warriors. Then, they head to Bulma and Goku gets trapped in a painful mind controllling beam. Goku breaks loose and is forced to fight Piccolo who's mind has been taken over by Dr. Wheelo and the Dr. Kochin. Gohan is angered from what they did to Piccolo and powers up in a surge of energy causing the mind controlling veins on Piccolo's head to break. They all team up together and Dr. Wheelo breaks loose from the wall in a powerful giant robot form.
They learn that the robot Dr. Wheelo is too powerful and only Goku can stand up against it. Goku defeats Dr. Wheelo and Dr. Wheelo decides he must destroy the earth because Goku's too powerful. He charges up a beam and Goku charges up a spirit bomb. Dr. Wheelo shoots Goku with a few blasts and Gohan and Piccolo fly up to fight Dr. Wheelo. Goku finds the spirit bomb is still there and Dr. Wheelo fires a huge blast at Goku. Goku quickly throws up the spirit bomb to counter the blast. The spirit bomb kills Dr. Wheelo and they all meet together and laugh at Master Roshi.
Movie 3: The Tree of Might (World's Toughest Battle)
This "takes place" probably before the fight with Freeza. In the beginning, Bulma, Gohan, Krillin, and Oolong are camping. Then, the forest mysteriously catches on fire and Krillin and Gohan stop the fire, but the forest is destroyed. Then, they gather the Dragonballs and summon the dragon. They wish for the forest to be brough back to normal. Later, a group of warriors, and a saiyan, from space land and plant the Tree of Might to drain the earth's energy so they can eat the fruit from it and become very powerful. Yamcha and his friend are flying their new plane when it is destoyed from the growing of the deadly roots of the giant tree going around and wrapping itself around the earth. But, they survive somehow. All of them meet back later at Goku's place. Chi Chi demands Gohan return his new dragon friend to its home. He goes to do so and the dragon later tried to show him the tree of might.
In the house, King Kai informs Goku of the Tree of Might and its destructiveness. Goku and his friends attempt to destroy the tree and fail. A battle occurs after that with Turles, the saiyan, and his warriors. During that battle, Piccolo and Gohan show up to fight. They head off to fight in multiple areas and Turles captures Gohan and creates an artificial moon in the sky so Gohan will transform. He destroys it before he transforms and Gohan changes to a giant ape monster. Goku tries to stop this from happening and Gohan attacks Goku. Later, when Gohan nearly kills his father, his friend dragon comes and Gohan sits down and plays with it happily. Turles gets upset and hits the dragon. Enraged Gohan turns on Turles and attacks. Turles fires at Gohan, but Goku shoots of Gohan's tail just in time and Gohan lives just barely. Goku sets down his son and learns from Turles' warriors they defeated all of Goku's friends easily. Goku instantly kills them all. Then, Goku and Turles fight and Turles eats a fruit from the tree and becomes strong, nearly k.o.ing Goku. But, when Turles leaves, Goku's friends come back and fight Turles while Goku charges up a Spirit Bomb. The spirit bomb doesn't work though because there's not enough life on the earth to power it. Goku and his friends are nearly all dead, but Goku forms a massive spirit bomb from the Tree of Might's drained energy and destroys Turles and the tree.
Movie 4: Super Saiya-jin Son Goku (This Is a Super Saiya-jin)
In the beginning, something is headed toward earth and Gohan and Krillin try to deflect it with energy blasts. It turns out to be a spaceship It turns out the ship is stopping for a refueling and is commanded by the Emperor of the Universe, Slag. He demands everyone leave in 3 days and launches a weather sattelite that causes an atmospheric cloud to cover Earth cover that will cause it to freeze over. The soldiers begin to make themselves home on Earth and terrorize everyone who lives there. Slag recognizes the dragonball on Gohan's cap and reads Bulma's mind to learn about the dragon radar.
Slag collects all seven dragonballs and wishes for his youth back. Goku and Krillin get some senszu beans to go fight slag and Goku easily beats up Slag's henchmen. He turns super saiyajin but is wasted in a fight with Slag because he turns into a giant. Slag reveals he is a Namek-jin and Piccolo gets an idea. He rips off his own ears so he won't feel pain from Gohan's whistling. He tells that Earthling's whistles hurt Namek-jins and Gohan whistles. This causes Slag to drop to his knees in pain and Goku and Piccolo do fusion to beat up Slag. Goku flies above the cloud cover to do a huge Spirit Bomb from the sun, which kills Slag. Slag's spaceship has already been accidentaly destroyed by Slag, so none of his henchmen are still alive. Piccolo's ears grow back and Yajirobei brings Senszu beans for everyone.
Movie 5: Fantastic vs. Ultimate Strength (Battle of the Strongest)
This movie starts out with a few clips from the end of the Bardock story. Freeza's brother, Cooler watched the whole thing happen and saw Kakkarot's space ship fly off, not doing anything about it. Twenty years later, Cooler receives the report that Kakkarot killed Freeza. Goku, Gohan, and Krillin are on a camping trip and are attacked by Cooler's henchmen. Cooler wants to fight Kakkarot to see the power of a legendary super saiyajin. In the end, Cooler is blasted by a massive energy ball into the sun and dies.
Movie 6: The 10 Billion Power Fighters (1 000 000 Power Warriors)
In the beginning, a giant metal planet lands on the new Namek planet and begins to devour it. The Namek elders call Dende for help and Dende contacts Goku. Then, Piccolo, Master Roshi, Goku, Krillin, Gohan, Yajirobei, and Oolong get into a space ship and head there to help. Vegeta gets in his own space capsule to make sure Goku will survive so he can have the pleasure of killing him. We later find out Cooler is part of the planet eating Namek and Cooler's robots are out trying to round up all of the Nameks.
When the Z figher's ships arrive, they too are picked up to be used in the ship for power. Vegeta and Goku fight Cooler, but are defeated and wired up to provide power for the "Big Geta Star". Goku and Vegeta go beyond their limits as Super Saiyajin, causing Big Geta Star to overheat. Goku blows away the real Cooler and the Big Geta Star explodes.
Movie 7: The Ultimate Battle! The Three Super Saiyajin
This movie starts out with Goku and his family shopping. Androids #14 and #15 are triggered off after Androids #17 and #18 kill their creator, Dr. Gero. So, androids #14 and #15 are pounding their way through the department store while Goku and his friends are eating lunch. The androids destroy the restaurant and Goku begins to fight them. Trunks shows up and he and Goku lure the androids to a polar region so no civilians will be hurt. When the fight starts to look bad, Vegeta comes in to save Goku. Later on, Android #13 who is the leader of the androids shows up and challenges Goku. During the fight, Gohan and Krillin had been watching and they jump in to help Goku. Piccolo saves Gohan and joins the fight. Now, Trunks, Vegeta, and Goku turn Super Saiyajin. Vegeta kills Android #15 and Trunks kills Android #14. Everyone flies up to Android #13, who absorbs the two computer chips from the other two androids to become Super 13, a powerful purple beast. Super 13 beats up everyone who faces him and knocks Goku into a lake.
Each of the Z warriors keep Super 13 busy while Goku charges up a Super Spirit Bomb (Super Genki Dama). Unfortunately, he turns Super Saiyajin while charging up the Super Genki Dama. Since it is pretty much impossible to form a genki dama while being SSJ, Goku begins to absorb it. Super 13 attacks Goku, who throws a punch right through the android and finishes it off. At the end, Krillin and Gohan are healing in the hospital, while Goku and co. talks with them. They wonder where Vegeta and Piccolo went and we see that Piccolo and Vegeta are sitting with their backs to each other on what's left of the ice where the battle was fought.
Movie 8: Burn Your Spirits to the Max
In the beginning, the "Legendary Super Saiyajin has destroyed the South Galaxy and King Kai is worried he could be heading for the North Galaxy. Goku and Chi Chi are at an interview for Gohan's acceptance into a new school while everyone else (including Vegeta for once) are at a Karaoke party in the park. King Kai contacts Goku and tells him about the Legendary Super Saiyajin and Goku goes to find him. Then at the karaoke party, a space ship descends from the sky and a saiyajin named Paragus comes out. He asks for Vegeta to become the king of the Saiyajin Empire which he [Paragus] has been trying to recreate. Vegeta refuses until Paragus mentions the Legendary Super Saiyajin and Vegeta, Trunks, Krillin, Gohan, Master Roshi, and Oolong (who knows why) gets into the space ship which blasts off.
When they land on what Paragus has chosen to be the new "Planet Vegeta", Paragus reveals the truth that his son Brolli is in fact the "Legendary Super Saiyajin". He also reveals that he controls Brolli and will use him to rule the universe and conquer Earth. But first, he must get rid of Trunks, Vegeta, Goku, and Gohan and he is going to do that by an incoming asteroid which is going to destroy the planet they're on. The fighting begins and Vegeta is too afraid of the Legendary Super Saiyajin to fight. Brolli beats the crap out of Goku, Gohan, and Trunks until Piccolo arrives who has overheard the conversation between Goku and King Kai. He gives each of them a senzsu bean but it's no use because they all get beat up again. After everyone's beat up, Goku is the only one left standing and Vegeta, Piccolo, Gohan, and Trunks each give Goku their remaining power so Goku can manage to destroy Brolli before it's too late. Goku kills Brolli just before the planet is destroyed and they all escape.
Movie 9: The Galaxy's In Trouble! The Clash of the Great Warriors
This opens up with a martial arts tournament which is sponsored by the richest man in the world, named Yosan Mane. The winner of this tournament gets to fight Mr. Satan. The Z fighters who enter the tournament are Trunks, Krillin, Piccolo, Tenshinhan, Gohan, and Yamcha. Yamcha is disqualified early in the tournament and Tenshinhan loses to Trunks. Krillin is up against Piccolo, but Piccolo flies away because he doesn't find Krillin to be a worthy opponent. We end up with Gohan, Trunks, Krillin, and a fat sumo wrestler who each have to face one of Mr. Satan's disciples. Each fight is in a different battle zone. When they reach their opponents, they discover they have been replaced by Bojack and his minions who are taking the tournament very seriously and want to conquer this galaxy. Each Z fighter gets beat up in each battle. Vegeta and Piccolo show up later on to fight Bojack and his minions, but get beat up as well. Mr. Satan is forced to join the fight by the director of the tournament and he distracts Bojack, unconsciously saving Gohan. Eventually, Bojack gets a hold of Gohan again and gets tortured. Goku can't stand to see his son being hurt this much and he teleports to the battle from the afterlife to save Gohan. He tells Gohan to use all of his inner strength and fades back to the after life. Gohan gets extremely angry and turns Super Saiyajin 2 to defeat Bojack and all of his henchmen.
Movie 10: Super Fighers Cannot Rest
Goten, Trunks, and Videl are out hunting for dragonballs for the fun of it. When going to get the sixth dragonball, they encounter a village being terrorized by a monster dragon and see the village sacrificing the last girl there. Videl offers to take the girl's place. Later, Trunks, Goten, and Videl are hiding near the monster's supper and jump out and kill it when it comes. In return, Trunks receives the sixth dragonball from a villager's necklace. Meanwhile, a saiyajin space pod has landed and the saiyajin inside is awakened by Goten's crying, thinking its Kakkarot (Goten cries because Videl slaps him). It turns out to be Brolli, who awakens and breaks open the pod. When Brolli comes out of the pod and stretches his muscles, Videl senses it and she heads off to find out what she sensed. She is easily defeated in a battle with Brolli.
Brolli mistakes Goten for Kakkarot and there is much fighting, with Trunks and Goten vs. Brolli. During the fight, the last dragonball is found but Goten doesn't know how to summon Shenlong, so Trunks gets trashed while trying to distract Brolli. Gohan senses Brolli's power and comes to help in the fight. His blast causes lava to boil up and Gohan lures Brolli into the lava, passing out afterwards. Krillin arrives dressed like Piccolo to save Gohan as a joke (Piccolo saves Gohan in every DBZ Movie except Movies 1, 11, 12, and 13).
Since Brolli is a super saiyajin, the magma doesn't phase him and he continues to attack everyone. Trunks distracts him with an energy ball and because the dragonballs are nearby, Goku is allowed to show up and he, Gohan, and Goten do a triple kamehameha, blasting Brolli into the sun. After the battle, Videl recovers and thinks Gohan was dressing up as Brolli, so she attacks him. Goten and Trunks go to the village to get food, and Krillin wonders why everyone suddenly forgot about him. Then, the dragonballs shoot apart as if a wish has been granted.
Movie 11: Super-Warrior Clone! I am the winner!
When this movie begins, Android #18 is trying to get her money back that Mr. Satan owes her. The cousin of one of Mr. Satan's past rivals named Jaga arrives and challenges Mr. Satan to fight some of his bio-soldiers. If he doesn't accept the challenge, he will go to the media and tell them about how Mr. Satan had wet his bed at summer camp. Mr. Satan accepts the challenge and #18 comes along with him, for extra pay. Trunks and Goten had seen the whole thing while hiding and secretly get into the aircar Mr. Satan and #18 are leaving in.
The aircar comes to a stop at a big mansion in the middle of the ocean. Jaga presents himself while bio-warriors are working out in the background. They go to an arena where they are going to fight the bio-warriors. Goten and Trunks come and Mr. Satan lies that they are his best disciples and will fight for him with #18. They easily defeat the bio-warriors and are shown to the rest of Jaga's mansion and Goten and Trunks eventually find Brolli in a glass pod and learn the priest from Movie #10 had taken and sold some of Brolli's blood to Jaga so his scientists could bring Brolli back. Brolli breaks through the pod and triggers deadly bio fluid to multiply which disintegrates anything it touches. Brolli now gets covered in the green gunk and Mr. Satan pays #18 to attack Brolli. Unfortunately, she does not know how powerful he is and gets beat up. Just when she's about to get killed, Krillin saves her and Goten and Trunks begin to get the upper hand in the battle. Goten helps Mr. Satan to escape the deadly bio-fluid and Krillin uses his kienzan technique [dest. disc} to cut off Brolli's head.
Brolli's neck regenerates after the attack and Trunks gets and idea. Trunks pours some bio-fluid on Brolli, causing him to dissolve. Everyone cheers, but the fluid begins to spread to the town on outskirts of the island. The town is evacuated by Goten, #18, Trunks, and Krillin. Then, Goten notices water causes the bio-fluid to slow down and harden. So they all fire a triple kamehameha into the ocean which sends a tidal wave over the island. A huge Brolli starts to raise from the ocean, but he's solidified by the water so Trunks and Goten blow him away. Then, the ending shows Goku at Kaio's planet talking about how Brolli never stops.
*Trunks fighting Brolli is not Future Trunks though. It is Chibi Trunks. If Future Trunks were to be here, Brolli would've been very easily defeated. Chibi Trunks Also moons Brolli for distraction.
Movie 12: The Rebirth of Fusion!! Gokou and Vegeta!
This movie begins with a tournament where the four Kai-os put their strongest warriors against each other. In the final round, Goku fights Pikehan (no, not Pikachu). In Enma's world (King Yamma) the cleaner that cleanses the souls of all evil and sends them to hell overflows and explodes. This releases the dead back to earth. Goku and Pikehan are sent to investigate this and when they get to Enma's world, they find a huge monster named Janemba and Enma's world is encased in a jelly bean-like thing. Goku keeps Janemba busy while Pikehan breaks into Enma's world. On Earth, Trunks, Gohan, and Goten are fighting against all the evil beings that have returned, this includes Nappa, Freeza, and even Hitler. They gather the dragonballs and ask the dragon to rid the world of all the returning dead. The dragon says he doesn't have enough power to do this wish. So, they have to get rid of the returning dead the hard way and on one part, Goten and Trunks fuse to fight Hitler's army. After turning Super Saiyan 3, Goku defeats Janemba, but Janemba comes back together to be even more powerful.
Goku goes into hell and finds Vegeta asking him if he'll do the fusion dance with him and Vegeta eventually agrees after losing to a fight with Janemba. During the fusion dance, Vegeta does something wrong and they form a big fat Gogeta who can't fight and keeps farting. The second time they do it, they do the fusion right and destroy Janemba, which makes Enma's world turn back to normal and all the dead return to the after life.
Movie 13: Exploding Dragonfist! If Gokou Can't Do It, Who Else Can?
I really have no idea when this would take place in the story line. I just downloaded it and watched it, so I can't be sure. Bear with me, this movie's huge! Anyway, the movie starts out showing a young warrior dropping his orica and a huge foot stomping on him. Then, someone says Earth is the only one left. You see a big city next and some criminals fleeing from the police. A guy and a girl in a costume easily apprehend these criminals in a fight and they head back to their college class (we learn they are Gohan and Videl). They get another call for help that some old man is threatening to commit suicide on a tower. The "Saiyamen" (Gohan and his girlfriend, Videl) arrive and the man jumps. Gohan catches him and they bring him to the ground. They learn from him about a brave warrior named Tabion who saved a planet in the southern galaxy 1,000 years ago. He tells them they need to get him to "Shenron", the eternal dragon, so a box of his can be opened to release the warrior who can save the world. He says they need to open the box because the warrior can save Earth which is in danger. Gohan and his girlfriend try to open it but can't so they go show the box to Bulma at her lab.
Goku, Trunks, Goten, Bulma, Gohan, and the old man are all there and Goku tries to open it, not succeeding. They all go out and eventually get all the Dragonballs and summon Shenlong (I prefer to call the dragon this). Shenlong easily grants their wish and the box starts to play music, until the warrior eventually appears out of the box. He is angry and yells that everyone should not have released him and they should put him back immediately. The warrior Tabion looks just like an older version of the warrior at the beginning who got crushed. The old man tells Tabion he can't go back in because the oracle's seal is broken. Later that night, a monster is attacking a city and the air force is trying to stop it. The Saiyamen then come and fight with the monster, but the monster is far too strong. Then, Gohan gets angry and powers up, and starts to beat up the monster. Then, a melody plays and the monster disspears.
Later that night, Trunks brings some food and drinks to the warrior who tells him to scram. Trunks runs away and the warrior starts to fall asleep. Then, he drops is orica and wakes up to see a portal above him. An upper torso of a monster crawls out and starts to try to kill him. He grabs the orica and plays the same melody used to make the other half of the monster dissapear. The monster fades away and so does the portal after he repeatedly plays the melody. Trunks brings him breakfast in the morning and then at night, Trunks brings food again to see some short guy attack Tabion. Trunks catches the Orica and jumps away. The short guy tells Trunks it's Tabion's fault for what happened to the city and if Trunks gives him the Ocarina, then the world will be saved. Trunks throws it to Tabion and the short guy jumps away. Tabion asks Trunks to join him to eat and they go back to Trunks's house. Tabion tells Trunks the story of the monster, Hildegarn, destroying his planet and his people until one day a miracle occured. Then, he figures out that his little brother must be dead because the lower half of Hildegarn had attacked the city. Trunks is asleep now and Tabion starts to leave. Bulma sees him and tells him he can stay as long as he wants. Then, they sit down together and Tabion talks about where the monster came from and how he and his brother each locked away a half of it each inside of themselves and how they had to get far away from each other so that the monster could never become one again. Bulma tells him she can construct a bigger version of the oricale he was put in so he can get some sleep and lock away the monster at the same time. Later that morning, it is built and he goes to sleep in it. That morning, we learn Tabion has sealed away Hildegarn's upper half, but since it's lower half is getting closer, he can't hold the upper half in much longer. He tells this to Goku, Gohan, Trunks, Bulma, Goten, and Videl. But they are too late as Tabion screams in agony and the upper half of the monster flies out of him, connection with the lower half. The whole time, Hoi (the old man from the beginning who also tried to take the ocarina) is floating in the sky laughing about how he's going to rule the universe with Hildegarn draining all the life energy from everyone.
Hildegarn attacks everyone and they jump out of the way. Tabion plays the melody, but Hoi laughs because it does not work any more. Now, Gohan, Goku, Goten, and Trunks take over the fight and attack Hildegarn, but to no use because the monster disspears and reappears during their attacks. Vegeta shows up in the fight furious because his house was destroyed by the monster. He attacks Hildegarn, but is knocked into a building. The monster shoots at him and he blocks the blast so the people behind him don't get blown away. He falls unconscious because the blast was so strong. Goku gets squeezed then, knocking him to the ground, and Goten and Trunks fuse together to become Gotenks. Gotenks attacks Hildegarn and easily defeats him. But, the monster splits open and out comes a giant, shiny, insect monster. The new form of Hildegarn easily defeats Gotenks, Gohan, and his girlfriend. Goku is then defeated again and Tabion starts to play the melody again until the monster is once again contained inside of him. Tabion almost gets Trunks to kill him to save the earth so the monster can never return, but Trunks freezes with the sword above his head. Then, they are too late. Hildegarn returns again and crushes Hoi, the little sorceror guy. But, Goku gives the monster a worthy opponent as he turns into Super Saiyan Stage Three. Goku knows that the monster is open to an attack for one second when it attacks. Eventually, Goku dodges an attack and does the "Dragon Fist", obliterating the monster.
Later, Goku says not to worry because they can collect the dragonballs again and bring the people who died in the city battle back to life. Tabion is getting into a space ship to return to his home planet. Before he leaves, he gives Trunks his sword because he doesn't need it any more. Then, he takes off while Goten and Trunks cheer happily.
