Goku's Dragon Ball Adventure

The Dragon Ball Universe (including Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT) is for lack of a better word Super Gigantically Huge. It would take pages of pages of reading in order to describe in detail everything that happens in the story. So the following description talks only about important events in the life of Goku from Dragon Ball Z and in a not so detailed way. Somethings may not be clear to people who are not fans of the series, so feel free to add details if you think it's necessary. Anyways, this is Goku's adventure:


 Bulma and Goku
 Bulma and Goku
Goku is the main character in the Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT series. He is a Saiyan, son of Bardock, raised on earth. He was originally sent to earth as a baby to destroy it. He was considered a low class Saiyan, and as such he was sent to destroy a small weak planet (that would be us). Anyways, here on earth his ship was found by a human called Gohan (or Grandpa Gohan). Grandpa Gohan found Kakarrot (Goku) inside the ship and decided to raise the boy as his own, he called him Goku. Goku was a handful as a little kid, he never listened to Grandpa Gohan, he made all kinds of trouble and never gave Gohan any sign of appreciation or kindness. One day Goku fell down a cliff and hit his head and got knocked out. When he woke up, he was a different person. Suddenly he was the kindest little boy you knew and this is where the kind, silly and noble Goku that we know today was really born. Grandpa Gohan trained him in the martial arts, but he could only teach him so much. Goku discovered he had great power potential during his adventures in the Dragon Ball series, in which he first met a bunch of his friends, some of which were his enemies when he first met them. He met Bulma, Krillin, Master Roshi (Who teaches him the famous Kamehameha), Yamcha, Oolong, Tien, Chiaotzu, Chi Chi, Mr. Popo, Kami, Piccolo, etc.

Goku's Dragon Ball Z Adventure

In the beginning of Dragon Ball Z his Saiyan brother Raditz arrives to earth in search for Kakarrot (Goku). When he finds him, he kidnaps his son Gohan (Goku's son was named after grandpa Gohan) so that Goku can have time to consider joining him as a Saiyan and go destroy weaker races. Goku ends up joining forces with his old enemy Piccolo in order to defeat Raditz. While all 3 fight, Gohan sits scared inside Raditz's Saiyan Space Pod watching the fight, at one moment he gets really mad when he sees his father Goku getting beaten up by Raditz, that he amazingly burst's out of the pod and headbutts Raditz with tremendous force. This gives Goku a chance to grab Raditz by the tail so that Piccolo delivers the final blow (Special Beam Cannon), which ends up killing him also. While Goku is dead, he meets up with King Kai, one of the universe's greatest martial arts teachers. He trains with him until he finally learns the "Kaio-ken" and how to gather energy from the earth in order to do the spirit bomb. Goku then finally returns to earth (Goku many times comes back from the dead because he is too important for the world's safety to be left dead and also thanks to the influence Goku's powerful friends have in the afterlife) just in time to save it from other evil Saiyans known as Vegeta and Nappa. He easily defeats Nappa but Vegeta puts up a hell of a fight. The battle is intense and at the end, after many close calls, both Goku and Vegeta are barely alive. Just when Vegeta is about to board his Space Pod, Krillin lifts Yajirobe's sword to give the finishing blow, but Goku stops him, telling Krillin that he wants to fight him another day and defeat him on his own. Vegeta is left to live, and fight another day. Goku then spends quite some time in the hospital while Krillin, Gohan and Bulma travel to Planet Namek (Home of Piccolo and Kami) in search for Namek's Dragon Balls in order to revive their fallen friends from the battle with the Saiyans. Once Goku is fully recovered, he wastes no time to go on another spaceship to Namek to help his son & friends. When he gets there he finds the Ginyu Force (Frieza's Special Force) are beating up Krillin, Gohan and Vegeta who was also looking for the Dragon Balls. Goku gives them all Senzu Beans which restore their energy and health in seconds. Goku then easily defeats the remaining Ginyu's but one of them escapes. This one alerts the Ginyu Force's Captain Ginyu who arrives to battle Goku. After a while in the fight, Captain Ginyu realizes he is no match for Goku, but he uses his special technique in which he switches bodies with his enemy. Goku is now stuck on Captain Ginyu's body but he soon recovers his own body thanks to Krillin, Gohan & Vegeta. Unfortunately, Goku's body is badly beaten up, and since he is out of Senzu Beans, he must regain his energy with a special machine (inside Frieza's spaceship) which Vegeta takes him to. Goku spends some time in this machine during which all hell breaks loose outside when Frieza returns from a scavenger hunt he was on in search of the Dragon Balls. Why is he mad? Because Krillin and Gohan had already found and used the Dragon Balls just as Frieza returned. Anyways, when Goku wakes up he quickly arrives to his friends aid. Vegeta is killed in front of Goku, but right before he dies he asks Goku to defeat Frieza in the name of all the Saiyans he killed. Goku's and Frieza's battle then begins. This is by far the longest battle in the Dragon Ball Z series, since it last quite a few episodes. At one point, Goku manages to throw the giant spirit bomb (thats right, GIANT spirit BOMB) at Frieza and everyone celebrates the defeat of Frieza. But soon after, Frieza emerges form the giant crater lifting Krillin into the air and blowing him up in front of Goku. This is the where the real fight begins as Goku's intense anger transforms him for the very first time into the legendary Super Saiyan. He then proceeds to kick Frieza's ass. Frieza throws a big energy beam at the planet which only leaves the planet with 5 minutes till it explodes. After the 5 minutes (which last forever! it was more than five episodes if that's what you were thinking) Goku finally destroys Frieza and then the planet blows up. Everyone else (who were safely transported back to earth thanks to the third wish made with the Dragon Balls) mourns the death of Goku. Several years pass and a spaceship lands on earth. The Z fighters (Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, Gohan, Vegeta, Chiaotzu, Piccolo) along with Bulma and Roshi go check it out only to find Frieza, who was now half robotics, with his father. Just as Frieza is about to attack, a young boy with a sword appears defeating Frieza's soldiers with ease. He then transforms into a Super Saiyan and proceeds to defeat Frieza and his father. As soon as this happens another spaceship, or rather a Saiyan Space Pod lands. From this Space Pod emerges non-other than Goku himself, explaining how he found the Space Pod seconds before the planet blew up and escaped. He told them how he landed on a different planet were he made friends and they taught him a new technique: Teletransportation. The young mysterious boy who just defeated Frieza asks Goku if they can talk in private for a bit in which moment he tells Goku that his name is Trunks, and that he comes form the future to warn him of all his friends of 3 things:

  1. Goku will have heart failure, so he brought medicine from the future in order to prevent this.
  2. Androids will attack in the future causing the death of many people and the destruction of many cities. The only one who was left of all the Z fighters was himself, Trunks. And last but certainly not least...
  3. He is the son of Vegeta and Bulma! This one caused great shock in Goku, since it was really difficult to believe, but he could not say anything or he would risk this from not happening thus making Trunks not exist. Goku then informs everyone that they must train for this future that awaits, which they do.

Years pass until the day that young boy said two androids would attack. He also returned that day in order to help the Z fighters, (and sure enough, Vegeta and Bulma had had a baby which they named Trunks). At this point he reveals who he is to them since it no longer matters. Goku and the rest of the Z fighters then find the androids, but these are not the same of Trunks' future. They find out that these are the evil Dr. Gero who is the one in charge of building the androids from Trunks' future codenamed #17 and #18. Dr. Gero was #20 an his friend #19. As Goku engages #19 in battle, he is exhausted to the shock of everyone else. It turns out he forgot to take his pills and his heart was failing. He is taken home to take his pills while Vegeta arrives to take his place, showing everyone that thanks to his training, he too has become a Super Saiyan and is now more powerful than Goku. While Goku rests and takes his pills, the real androids are awoken along a new one, codenamed #16, which is more powerful than both #17 and #18. They are programmed for one thing, killing Goku. The Z fighters try to stop them but even Vegeta is easily defeated. By the time Goku wakes up, another being called Cell had already appeared, saying that he would absorb both #17 and #18 to become the perfect being and bring chaos to the universe. Goku takes his son Gohan and brings along Vegeta and Trunks to train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, in which one day of earth equaled one year inside the chamber. Only two people could go inside at a time, so Vegeta and Trunks go inside first. When they come out, Vegeta and Trunks immediately fly towards the location of Cell which had already managed to absorb one android, Android #17. When Goku and Gohan comes out one day later (one year for them of course), he learns that Vegeta was cocky enough to let Cell absorb #18 because he was too weak. By doing this Cell became too powerful even for Vegeta and Trunks in Ascended Saiyan form. Goku was told that Cell made a tournament that challenged any fighter from earth. The Z fighters then go to the tournament and Goku decides to go first. He battles Cell for a while and then to the shock of everyone gives up. He tells Cell that he will not be defeated by him, but by his son, Gohan. He then tells Gohan to battle, and tells him to trust himself. The battle between Gohan and Cell begins, with Gohan being beaten by Cell since Gohan did not let his anger out (even though he was already in Super Saiyan form). He finally fights for real when all the Z fighters are being attacked by Cell Jrs (which Cell spawned) and when C#16's head is crushed by cell, transforming into a Super Saiyan 2 (C#16 had become friends with the Z fighters). When Cell sees he cannot win this fight, he self destructs. But not before Goku teletransports Cell and himself to King Kai's planet, in order to save planet earth. Just when everyone thinks Goku saved the day again, Cell appears again (thanks to the regenerative cells he has in his body) in perfect form. After a hard fight, Gohan and Cell both shoot a Kamehameha beam at each other, but Gohan manages to defeat him thanks to some encouraging words spoken by his father with King Kai's help. Goku is then once again in the afterlife, and this is when King Kai takes him to a martial arts tournament from the afterlife, where the strongest fighters of all time fight every year. Goku battles and wins round after round. He manages to reach the final battle against a fighter called Pikon. The fight is intense, and both are strong opponents. At the end, Goku manages to push Pikon off the ring with a Kamehameha. Just when Goku thought he won, they are then told that they are both disqualified because they both touched the ceiling at one point.

Several years pass and everyone grows up, Gohan is attending college and has taken on the role of superhero as " The Great Saiyaman", Krillin is married to Android 18 (she fell in love with Krillin and changed her ways) and they have a daughter, Trunks is now a little kid that can already turn into a Super Saiyan, and Chi Chi had a new boy who is called Goten, a year younger than Trunks. He is Trunks best friend and always trains with him or his brother Gohan. Later, a new martial arts tournament is announced and Goku asks permission in the afterlife to attend this tournament, which he is permitted, but only for a limited amount of time. Goku arrives at the tournament and greets all his friends and family, and meets for the first time his new son Goten, who looks just like him. The tournament begins with the kids tournament going first. Trunks rises as the victor after an exciting match against Goten. Then the adult tournament begins. Everything is going well but it is suddenly interrupted when two strange individuals suck some energy out of Gohan and fly away. They are followed by the Z fighters and are taken to a strange ship. This is where, after fighting several enemies they find Majin Buu, the new terror of brought upon planet earth. However, Majin Buu was controlled by a small sorcerer called Babidi. Babidi also managed to gain control over Vegeta by reaching the most inner part of Vegeta that was still evil, and turning him against Goku. As Goku and Vegeta battled far away, Majin Buu easily beat Gohan, throwing him far away and knocking him unconscious. As Goku and Vegeta battle it out, Goku finally tells Vegeta that as much as he would like to, they cannot continue fighting. He tells Vegeta that they must go defeat Majin Buu before he kills the people they love. Vegeta agrees, but as soon as Goku lets his guard down, Vegeta gives Goku a hard blow to the back of the head knocking him unconscious, in order to go defeat Majin Buu by himself. Vegeta fails and only manages to kill himself. When Goku finally awakes, he begins to teach Trunks and Goten the fusion technique, in which two fighters join to form one. This would join their powers in a powerful way, so much so that they could defeat Majin Buu. Before Goku can finish teaching, his time is up, so he must return to the afterlife. On his way back, he asks if he can go to where Gohan was training (Gohan was taken by the Supreme Kai to his planet in order to train to defeat Majin Buu). Once there, he assists Gohan in any way that he can. When the training is over, they send Gohan to Earth to defeat the new more powerful and more evil Buu (Majin Buu was divided into two separate forms in a moment of anger, where Majin Buu was the good side of him, and the new evil side was called Buu). When Gohan arrives, Buu had already absorbed Piccolo and Gotenks (the fusion of Goten and Trunks), so as much as Gohan´s level had risen, it was still difficult for him. Goku then learns that there is another way to do a fusion which is with the earrings of the elder Kai. When each warrior wears an earring, they will fuse and become one for an hour. Goku takes these earrings and is transported alongside Gohan. But just when he is about to give Gohan the other earring, Gohan gets absorbed by Buu also, making him even more powerful. All seems lost when Goku is left by himself, but suddenly, Vegeta appears. He was sent from the afterlife in order to help Goku. Goku immediately tells Vegeta to fuse with him in order to defeat Buu. It takes a little convincing but eventually Vegeta give in, fusing with Goku and Transforming into Vegito. The battle that follows is fierce, but Buu eventually absorbs Vegito just like the others. Inside Buu, Vegito separates into Goku and Vegeta again, and since they are inside they begin looking for the others. They manage to rescue their friends and leave Buu, but once they leave his body, instead of becoming weaker, Buu becomes into the much stronger and faster Kid Buu. Goku and Vegeta try and defeat Kid Buu but its useless. Goku and Vegeta are then returned to the supreme Kai's planet and Buu in his anger looking for them destroys the Earth. He then continues to look for them planet by planet until he finds them. They battle once more, but they are no match for Kid Buu. In a last attempt, Goku builds another Giant Spirit Bomb while Vegeta distracts Kid Buu, and when finally charged, he transforms into a Super Saiyan 3 and throws it at him, finally defeating Kid Buu. Just before he dies, Goku wishes that he is reborn in a good way, so that they may fight together another day. Planet Earth along with everyone Buu ever killed are brought back thanks to the Dragon Balls and so is Goku. Now that there is peace again, the z fighters may rest again.

Years later, a new tournament is made on earth, here the Z fighters meet Uub, the reincarnated Majin Buu, who is now a little village boy who has tremendous power he doesnt even know he has. Goku takes the boy and promises to train him so that he can become a great fighter. This is where Dragon Ball Z ends, and Dragon Ball GT begins.
