Storyline
Five years after the end of "Dragon Ball", Son Gokû reunites with his friends, bringing along his four-year old son, Gohan. Son Gohan is not like his father; he'd rather study than fight. Raditz, a warrior from space lands on earth searching for someone named "Kakarotto". He reveals himself as Raditz of the Saiyajin, the older brother of Kakarotto! And Kakarotto turns out to be Son Gokû! With two other Saiyajin coming to earth, can Gokû and the Z Warriors withstand the onslaught!? Written by Evan Jacobson <mrsatan@geocities.com>

Trivia
The Namekusei-jin are divided into two classes - Fighters (Piccolo, Kami, Nail) and Healers (Dende). Healers have the ability to fully heal anyone's physical injuries, but cannot fight. Fighters have excellent combat skills and can control their Ki, but don't have healing abilities. Certain exceptional fighters can however, regenerate their own limbs. In either event, both classes are capable of flying. See more »Goofs
ENGLISH DUB: During his fight with the transformed Vegeta, Goku comes to the conclusion that the transformed Vegeta is the one who destroyed the world martial arts stadium when Goku was just a boy. This conclusion is absolutely absurd since Vegeta had never before visited Earth (corrected in FUNimation's redubbed version). This error is also present in the French dub and all the other European dubs that have been based on it. See more »Quotes

Wha-? Are you crazy, Nah...the thing is, I really like this show, and it's NOT because of the fighting. Too many people just dimiss the show as a mindless punch-a-thon, as "that fighting anime that turned me off all fighting anime." The thing is, the characters are all really nicely developed. As we watch the show over the years, we get to see the characters grow, and it happens so gradually that we don't even realize it's happening. Toriyama's Freeza saga was probably the best-told part, despite the fact that the anime completely f-ed it up--the reason for everyone to be there in the first place actually made sense, and the transition from the Vegeta fight to the Freeza fight (and the reason Vegeta eventually joined with the rest of the group) was actually logical. I think the show has a lot more substance than everyone else says, but I realize by now that everyone's already made up their mind about the show and no matter what I say, their opinions will stay the soon.
