When Gohan headbutted Raditz in the fight, Piccolo, realizing Gohan's potential, decides to take it upon himself to train Gohan.
Meanwhile, Gokou is sent on a journey through Snake Way to receive training from Kaiosama and the rest of the Z warriors are
gathered to receive training from Kamisama.
One year later, Nappa and Vegeta arrive on Earth to find the Dragonballs and be granted the wish of immortality. The Z
warriors find Nappa and Vegeta and they begin to fight. They fight against saibamen, which Vegeta and Nappa grow. The gang kills them all, but lose Yamucha in the battles against the Saibamen. Now the warriors concentrate on Nappa while Vegeta watches in the
background. In a series of battles, Chaozu dies when he sacrifices himself in an attempt to blow up Nappa, Tenshinhan dies
when he uses all his strength trying to kill Nappa with a one handed kikoho, and Piccolo dies when he takes a blast from Nappa for Gohan.
Eventually Gokou shows up and begins fighting Nappa. Nappa, seeing that he is being beaten, tries to retreat. Gokou pursues him
and does a Kaiyoken, snapping Nappa's spine. Nappa asks Vegeta to help him. But instead Vegeta throws Nappa into the air and kills
him with one fireball.
Then all the rest of the Z Warriors against Vegeta. Vegeta sees that the odds are against him, so he makes a fake moon
and turns into his Oozaru form (a giant ape-like creature). He starts beating up on every one (especially Gokou, he gets wasted) until his tail is cut off by Yajirobe. Gokou forms a Genki Dama and gives it to
Kuririn, because Gokou is to weak to throw it. Kuririn misses but Gohan deflects back toward Vegeta and it hits him. But Vegeta survives the blast. Meanwhile, Gohan sees the fake moon, transforms into his Oozaru form and starts kicking Vegeta
around until his tail is cut off by Vegeta. Gohan shrinks back to normal size and lands right on top of Vegeta. Weary and
beaten, Vegeta crawls back to his spaceship and leaves. The Z warriors rejoice at their victory... Well, kind of a victory.
Gokou later travels to Namek after recovering from the fight against Vegeta. During his trip, he trains at fifty times Earth's gravity
and then one hundred times Earth's gravity. Meanwhile, Vegeta begins to fight against Freeza's henchmen. He first kills
Kui that Freeza sends out. Then he fights Dodoria and defeats him. After that fight he fights with
Zarbon. At first, it looks as if Vegeta will win easily. Then Zarbon turns into his second form and almost kills Vegeta. Surviving
the fight, Vegeta gets stronger and in the second fight with Zarbon, he defeats Zarbon easily. Vegeta joins up with Kuririn and
Gohan only to ensure that Gokou is around so he can kill him. Vegeta also wants the Dragonballs.
Freeza then calls on Ginyu Team to Kill Vegeta, Gohan, and Kuririn. Gohan and
Kuririn fight Gurudo first, but Vegeta winds up killing Gurudo after Gohan and Kuririn get in trouble. Vegeta is then beaten by Rikuum and Gohan and Kuririn try, but are also
beaten. Gokou then shows up and defeats Rikuum, Baata, and Jisu. When fighting Ginyu, Gokou has his body
switched into Ginyu's. After more fighting, Gokou gets his body back. Then, Ginyu tries to swap bodies with Vegeta,
but Gokou throws a frog in his path and Ginyu is turned into a frog. Then the fight against Freeza takes place. Then there are a series of battles. It looks as though. The Z team might lose. Freeza goes
through 3 transformations to reach his perfect form. In one of the battles, Kuririn is killed and Goku gets so angry that he turns
into his Super Saiyan form for the first time. He severely beats Freeza, but Namek is about to blow up, because Freeza shot a fireball into Namek. The Dragonballs are
used to wish every back who died as a result of Freeza. Then, everyone on Namek except Frieza and Goku are teleported to
Earth with another wish. Namek blows up and everyone thinks Goku is dead, but Gokou goes to planet Yardrat and learns the
ability to teleport. Meanwhile, Freeza's father, King Cold learns about Freeza's defeat and sends minions out to reassemble
Freeza's body. Freeza tells his father about Gokou but Cold doesn't believe him and still thinks that he is the universe's strongest
warrior.
GARLIC JR. SAGA TRUNKS SAGA
CELL SAGA
Android #20 then unleashes two of his other creations, Android
#17 and Android #18. Androids #17 and #18 get annoyed of Dr. Gero. As a result, they kill Dr. Gero. Android #17 and Android #18 leave the lab and unleash Android #16. But as
it turns out, Android #16 is a peaceful android. As time passes, the Z Warriors become aware of the new androids as they
battle again and again but always reach a stalemate. However, the Z Warriors are still not match for the androids because the
androids are robots, and therefore do not tire in a long battle while the Z Warriors eventually run out of energy. Meanwhile, Piccolo fuses with Kami to become stronger. Dende, a Namek child, replaces Kami as guardian of the dragonballs.
Androids #16, #17, and #18 go to seek Gokou to destroy him. Back in
Dr. Gero's lab, Imperfect Cell, who came from back in time from Trunks time machine starts recking haveck on Gingertown. Piccolo finds Cell and fights him. Cell, knowing he can't beat Piccolo and retreats. Piccolo then fights Android 17, but both are evenly matched.
Cell flies to find Androids #17 and #18. On his way devours the souls of the unlucky civilians he passes to become stronger.
Finally, he meets with the other androids and Piccolo. To our heroes' surprise, they learn that Androids #17 and #18 know nothing about
Cell. Cell and Android #17 threaten to kill each other. Android #17 heads out to fight him. But, he does not stand up to Cell
and is easily defeated. This is when our heroes learn the great powers of Cell. Android #18 is now worried, but Android #16
flies out to fight Cell. To everybody's amazement, Android #16 is able to stand up to Cell. However, he is still destroyed. Cell
now heads for his goal and devours Android #17 with his tail. Cell now changes into Cell-Form 2. With the power of Android
#17 combined to his, he becomes stronger than ever. Then, he heads over to devour Android #18. Tenshinhan steps in and blast Cell with a Kikoho to keep Cell from absorbing Android #18. Vegeta and Trunks fight Cell a bit and Vegeta beats the crap out of Cell. Cell tells Vegeta to let him aabsorb #18 so he'll be a better challenge. Vegeta agrees. Cell finds #18 and devours her. Cell now changes into Cell-Form 3, and becomes "Perfect Cell", after devouring the
souls of so many people, is no longer an android and becomes organic. Vegeta fights Perfect Cell, but loses. Cell tells the Z gang he will have the "Cell Game" in ten days. so the Z gang trains hard in the room of spirit and time.
After Cell is gone, Buruma collects the body parts of Android #16 and repairs him. But, he is re-programmed to fight on the Z
Warriors' side. The days have passed and our heroes now head out to fight Cell in the Cell game. Mr. Satan and his "disciples" fight Cell first and are wooped. Gokou then fights Cell to show Gohan how Cell fights. After Gokou finishes fighting he tells Cell to fight Gohan, because he has a secret power. Gohan gets wooped at first. Cell sees the other Z warriors doing nothing so he produces 7 Cell Juniors, young, blue duplicates of Cell. After a few more battles, Gohan
watches Cell crush #16 and Gohan gets so angry he reaches Super Saiyan level 2. He then destroys all the Cell Juniors. In one of the
battles that follows, Cell is kicked and Android #18 is spit back out. Cell turns back into form 2 and is defeated. But, he
activates his self destruction mode so that when he dies, the world will blow up with him. To save the Earth, Goku teleports
Cell out of Earth and into Kaio's planet, where Cell blows up. Thus, Gokou, Kaiosama, Bubbles, and Kaio's grasshopper, Gregory, die
as well.
The Z Warriors mourn the loss of Goku, but at the same time they cheer at the victory over Cell. Unexpectedly, a fireball flies
out of nowhere and pierces through Trunks. Upon Trunks' death, Cell, in form 3, appears. He tells that when he blew up, a
brain cell survived. From the cell, other cells multiplied and he was once again formed. Cell happily laughs as he tells that he is
amazed he is able to rebuild himself into form 3! Then, Cell threatens to destroy the earth. Vegeta tries to take on Cell, but is
knocked down in one blow. Cell fires a shot at him that would have killed him, but Gohan rushes over and takes the blow,
injuring his arm. For the first time ever, Vegeta apologizes. Now it was up to Gohan to try to save Earth. With one arm, Gohan
prepares a Kamehameha. Cell fires a kamehameha and Gohan fires a kamehameha back at Cell. Both hold a long time still firing their kamehamehas, but with Kaio's help, Gokou is able to talk to
Gohan and encourages him. With the help of the now dead Kaio,
Gokou, also dead, is able to communicate with Gohan and tells him to use all his power to defeat Cell. Meanwhile, Kuririn, Yamucha, Tenshinhan, Piccolo and
Vegeta attack Cell because they don't want to die without putting up a decent fight against Cell. They don't do much until Vegeta shoots a big blast at Cell, distracting. This gives Gohan a chance to use all of his energy to overpower Cell's kamehamehe.
Cell is disintegrated by Gohan's Kamehameha. But, Mr. Satan takes credit for Cell's death and lies to the reporters.
At the end, the warriors gather the Dragonballs to bring those killed by Cell back to life. However, Gokou is still dead because
he was already brought back to life once and cannot come back again, but tells that he is okay and is now with Kaio. So they wish for the bombs in the androids to be taken out. Android
#18 awakens and flees. However, everybody learns here that Kuririn has developed a crush on Android #18!
BUU SAGA
Later, Gohan, a hero who has achieved the identity as the Great Saiyaman, attends a tournament. When it is the Great
Saiyaman's turn to compete, he turns into his Super Saiyan form and his disguise is blown off. Everyone is amazed that a
nerd, Gohan, is the Great Saiyaman. All of a sudden, Spopovitch and Yaboo come out of nowhere and absorb Gohan's
energy into a "lamp" to revive Buu. Kaioshin and his partner, trying to prevent Babidi's and Darbura's plot to reactivate Buu,
allow this to happen so that he could follow the energy stealers to their hideout. (Babidi's goal is to destroy all life just for the
fun of it.) But, he revives Gohan first. The Saiyan warriors decide to go as well. A fight follows. Darbura turns Kuririn and
Piccolo into stone and Kaioshin's partner is killed. The Z warriors learn that Kuririn and Piccolo will return to normal once
Darbura dies. In battle, Vegeta is turned into Babidi's slave and an "M" appears on Vegeta's forehead. His energy is used to
reactivate Buu. Buu betrays Darbura and eats him. Thus, Piccolo and Kuririn are returned to normal. Majin Vegeta beats Gokou,
and then goes to fight Buu. Upon failing, Vegeta self-destructs and dies. Afterwards, Buruma gathers the Dragonballs to revive all
those killed since the fighting tournament. Gohan also heads to Kaioshin's planet, pulls
out the Z sword, and trains under Dai Kaioshin. Goten and Trunks train as well to get stronger. From Piccolo and Kuririn, they learn the art
of fusion to fuse to become one, becoming Gotenks!
However, our heroes are still no match for Buu. Although Darbura's, the Prince of Darkness (Babidi's associate who looks
like a devil), and Babidi's other minions are killed, Buu gets
stronger. Buu later revolts against his master (Babidi) and kills him. Before their deaths, the villainous Babidi and Darbura
have cast a spell that turned Vegeta evil. However, in addition with fighting against Gokou, the evil Vegeta also fought Buu.
Although defeated by Buu, Vegeta later turns good again. It is here that Vegeta finally officially becomes one of the good guys.
(In previous times, Vegeta only aids our heroes to assure that Gokou lives long enough for him to kill him. But, he never
attempted to kill Gokou since the early battle against him in the Saiyan saga. Next, Buu separates into two forms-one good
and the other evil. Evil Buu defeats good Buu, turns the him into a cookie, and eats him. From this method, the evil Buu gains
the good Buu's powers and changes into a stronger form. Buu, previously fat, is now skinnier and taller, not to mention a lot
stronger. Gotenks is also stronger; he is now able to turn into Super Saiyan stage 3, like Gokou. But, he is still defeated on one
of his encounters with Buu and Buu engulfs SSJ3 Gotenks. Thus, Buu absorbed Gotenks' powers and becomes stronger again.
He changes form again! (His "antennae" grows longer and he now wears a black vest like Gotenks'.) Piccolo is also defeated
and eaten by Buu. Meanwhile, Gohan had mastered the Z sword and learned how to use his hidden powers without getting
angry under training with Dai Kaioshin. (He does not turn into his Super Saiyan form for the rest of the series at this point.)
Unfortunately, he too is defeated and engulfed. Buu, now with Gohan's powers, changes form again. (He now looks like he's
wearing Gohan's clothes.) With the other warriors defeated, only Gokou and Vegeta are left to battle against Buu!
Gokou is still dead and watches the fight through Kaioshin's crystal ball. Seeing the unfortunate odds for our heroes, Dai Kai-shin
sacrifices he life to Gokou and dies. Goku's halo disappears, and Dai Kaioshin wakes back up with a halo over his head. Now,
Gokou teleports into the battle. Vegeta, still dead, is also sent into battle by the judge of death. Gokou acquired a pair of special
earrings from the Kai-shins that when each one is worn by different people, the two will permanently fuse. With Gokou wearing
one of the earrings and Vegeta wearing the other, the two are pulled together and fused into Vegetto. At Vegetto's turn to fight
Buu, Buu seems to be of no match to Vegetto, but Vegetto purposely gets eaten by Buu to save the other Z warriors. This
canceled the effects of the permanent fusion in Vegetto and he changes back into Gokou and Vegeta.
Next, Buu undergoes another form change and temporarily becomes very muscular as he stands still in pain through the form
change. Gokou and Vegeta are now inside of Buu's organs. They find Trunks, Goten, Gohan, and Piccolo, and rescue them by
carrying them out of one of Buu's pores. As they leave Buu, the warriors grow bigger and are restored to their normal size. Fat
Buu, the good Buu, also escapes from Buu's body. The evil Buu, still "puffy" and bulky, is undergoing his form change to
restore to his original form. (The Kaioshins cursed him into his previous fat looking form for destroying their people.)
Afterwards, he is little and short. Next, evil Buu does a giant fireball and blows up Earth!!! Luckily, Gokou had enough time and
teleported himself and his comrades to another planet. Later, the Namek Dragonballs are gathered and a wish is made to
restore the earth. The little Buu also met with the fat Buu. They fight, but the good Buu is once again defeated.
Eventually, Gokou and Vegeta are later fighting Buu. Vegeta stalls Buu as Gokou gathers the energy to do a super Genki Dama. While Vegeta is getting kicked around by Buu, Piccolo, Gohan, Goten, and Trunks are on earth trying to convince the
earthlings to raise their hands so that their energy will be given to aid Gokou strengthen his Genki Dama. Because no one on earth
listens to the heroes, a new approach is taken. Satan is contacted for help. Because of his fame, he goes into public and raises
his hands. All of his fans, everyone on Earth, raise their hands too to show their appreciation to Satan. With everyone's hand
raised, energy is transferred to Gokou and now he has enough power to destroy Buu. With a single Genki Dama, Buu is
destroyed.
At the end, the fat Buu, who was beaten unconscious, awakens and enters our heroes' side. Ten years pass. Goten and Trunks
are now teenagers. Gohan married Videl and now has a 5 year old daughter, Pan. Gokou wished to fight the evil Buu all over
again, so he wished for the reincarnation of the Buu. Buu, now Uub, is reincarnated (and not evil anymore) and
Gokou says he will train him. And DBZ ends with Gokou and Uub flying off to train. The End!!!
