I got all of these sums from the back of the tapes.
Season 1
Ep1 - The Arrival of Raditz
Born long ago of a primeval force on a faraway planet, the Saiyans
developed into a warrior race so devastating and relentless that
their own planet did not survive their centuries of destruction. Now,
one of them is coming to earth to find his younger brother Goku! The
mighty Saiyan warrior Raditz arrives on Earth searching for his
brother Goku, who was sent to Earth as a baby with a mission to
destroy all traces of human life on Earth. However, Goku received a
blow to his head upon his earthly arrival, causing him to forget his
