Dragon Ball Z / GT Saga's

Saga's (16)
1 - Vegeta Saga

Can Anyone Defeat Raditz?
Our hero is baffled at what to do. Then Goku's arch enemy, Piccolo, appears to help fight for the future of the world.
In the fiercest battle ever seen on Earth, our heroes use every technique they know. Piccolo hurls his energy blasts and Goku releases the Kamehameha blast. Raditz stops these blasts with his bare hands...
Raditz is at the point of killing Piccolo when his power suddenly dissipates. Goku has grabbed Raditz's weak point, his tail. Goku tells Piccolo to finish off Raditz.
Raditz declares a change of heart and desire to reform. Piccolo warns it's a trick, but Goku believes Raditz and lets go of his tail. Raditz's power immediately returns and he turns on his brother, Goku...

The Ultimate Sacrifice
As all is surely lost, the power sensor goes off. Gohan has broken free of the space capsule in which Raditz had imprisoned him. In a remarkable burst of power, Gohan's Saiyan blood shows through. He "powers up" and assaults Raditz. Raditz is weakened by the assault, allowing Goku to grab Raditz in a bear hug. This gives Piccolo enough time to summon an extra powerful Special Beam Cannon blast to finish off Raditz.
The only problem is that Goku will perish with Raditz. Piccolo's blast will encompass them both. But Goku urges Piccolo to fire, since it's Earth's only hope...
The blast does the trick. But as Raditz is passing on, he reveals terrifying news. Two more Saiyan warriors with even greater power than Raditz will arrive in one year. Earth is their next target for death and mass destruction.
And Goku, Earth's most powerful warrior, has passed into another dimension along with Raditz...

Can Earth Prepare For More Saiyans?
The remaining good guys disperse in a frantic attempt to prepare for the coming of the Saiyans. Some try to collect the Dragon Balls to revive Goku. Piccolo takes Gohan to a deserted wasteland to train him to utilize his incredible power potential. Krillin, Tien, Chiaotzu, and Yamcha go to Kami's to receive special training in the Pendulum Room.
As for Goku, he's in the Upper World where he can get superior training from King Kai to prepare for the coming of the Saiyans in one year. King Kai is pleased that Goku is such a great student and proceeds to teach him the famous Kai techniques. So intent are they on the training, they forget to take into consideration the two days it will take Goku to run back down Snake Way to Earth.

Nappa and Vegeta have landed
The sky darkens as the two Saiyans approach. Nappa and Vegeta take a reading on the planet's warriors and scoff at the weak power ratings. They plant six seeds, which quickly grow into six Saibaimen, fierce plant-like creatures that are told to destroy the Earthlings.
The battle lines form as our heroes - Krillin, Piccolo, Tien, Gohan, Chiaotzu, and Yamcha - prepare to defend Earth against the Saibaimen. The ensuing battle eliminates one of our heroes, Yamcha, but the two sides seem evenly matched. Vegeta grows bored and instructs Nappa to take care of the other Earthlings.
Our heroes attack with massive energy beams that have no effect. Chiaotzu initiates a dimensional attack in hopes of destroying Nappa, but all is in vain as Nappa is barely affected. Piccolo devises a plan requiring Gohan to harness the Power of Light within him for a single blast. But at the crucial moment, Gohan loses his nerve. Gohan has let the good guys down. Were Piccolo's efforts to train Gohan in vain? Apparently not, for in training Gohan, Piccolo has transformed himself. During the next attack, Piccolo sacrifices himself by stepping in front of an energy beam to save Gohan's life.
Nappa decides he has had enough fun and goes in for the finish...

Battle of the century: Saiyan against Saiyan
Just as things look grim for our remaining heroes, Goku sweeps in to rescue Gohan. The Saiyans can't believe it, Goku has a power level of 5,000. Everyone is awed by Goku's power and a major battle erupts between Goku and Nappa. But Goku is so fast that he can't even be seen by normal humans. Goku uses the Kaio-Ken maneuver to defeat Nappa. Vegeta has no use for such a useless Saiyan and gets rid of the injured Nappa.
The battle moves to another location as Goku and Vegeta face off. In a series of tremendous battle movements, which release more energy than 10 hydrogen bombs, the greatest battle on Earth resonates across the countryside. Each opponent "powers up" to a level higher than each could imagine the other could achieve but Vegeta is able to gain the upper hand by turning into the giant Saiyan Gorilla.
As Goku is being crushed by the giant, Vegeta, Krillin, and Gohan arrive and distract Vegeta. This gives Goku enough time to take the last energy remaining in him and transfer it to Krillin who, along with Gohan's help, directs his Spirit Bomb to smash Vegeta. They miss! Yajirobe saves the day by cutting off Vegeta's tail. Vegeta is badly damaged, but he is able to get to his space capsule. Goku lets him escape.

2 - Namek Saga

Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma land on planet Namek?
En route to Namek, Gohan, Krillin and Bulma run into one of the many dangers of space: an alien warship. Caught offguard, they are ambushed as they investigate the alien ship. Fortunately for our friends, the ship enters an asteroid belt. Bulma jumps to the rescue and steers the ship out of harm. The aliens, who are actually refugees looking for a new home because Frieza destroyed their planet, realize Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma mean them no harm. They reveal a shortcut to Namek and wish their new friends good luck.
Taking the shortcut, Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma reach the planet Namek long before they had expected. This is great...assuming the planet is really Namek. It appears like the planet they were expecting, and the inhabitants do look like Namekians. These inhabitants are helpful to our friends as they encounter giants, volcanoes, ice caves, and assorted dangers in their search for Dragon Balls.
But that's nothing compared with the real danger our heroes are facing. Their Namekian helpers Raiti and Zaacro aren't Namekians at all. They are aliens stranded on this deserted planet. Anxious to escape and masters of illusion, Raiti and Zaacro are willing to do anything to grab a spaceship and leave this planet behind. They have read Gohan, Krillin and Bulma's minds, and concocted the environment they were expecting to find, secretly making plans to steal their spaceship and leave our friends stranded. They almost succeed, but don't know the secret password to open the door to the ship. At the last minute the tables are turned, and Gohan, Krillin and Bulma zoom off in their spaceship toward the true planet Namek.

Can Krillin and Gohan stop such an evil power?
Things are not going so well on planet Namek. Frieza is terrorizing the villages and collecting the Dragon Balls. How will Gohan, Krillin and Bulma ever bring their friends back if Frieza gets the Dragon Balls first? More importantly, what chance does the universe have if Frieza collects all seven Dragon Balls and realizes his wish for immortality?
To make matters worse, Vegeta is on Namek and stronger than ever after his near fatal injuries on Earth. Saiyans have the unusual ability to reach higher power levels after healing from serious wounds. Vegeta is seriously injured again in a fight with Zarbon, one of Frieza's henchmen. He is left to die until Frieza tells Zarbon to bring Vegeta to him, or else. Vegeta has hidden a Dragon Ball and is the only one who knows its location.

Mystery of the Dragon Balls revealed by Guru
Meanwhile, Frieza has decided to summon the elite fighters known as the Ginyu Force to help search the planet for Dragon Balls and take care of any problems that might develop. They will arrive in five days. Goku has been summoned and is on his way to Namek, traveling in a specially constructed spaceship with special training facilities. Help is on the way, but time is running out for our heroes.
Krillin is taken to Guru's house. Guru is the Eldest, the leader of all the Namekians and the creator of the Namekian Dragon Balls. He is, unfortunately, very ill. If anything happens to Guru, the Dragon Balls, which the good guys need to bring their allies back to this dimension, will cease to exist. Gohan, Krillin and Bulma must collect these Dragon Balls while Guru is still alive. This seems impossible since Frieza already has five of the Dragon Balls. But the good guys won't give up.
Guru lays hands on Krillin, realizes that he is good at heart, and decides to give his Dragon Ball to Krillin for safe keeping. Now at least Frieza can't get all seven, not as long as Krillin has one of them. Guru also awakens the sleeping power with Krillin, giving him more power than ever!
Frieza's plan backfires. He has Vegeta brought to his spaceship so he can learn where Vegeta's Dragon Ball is hidden. But Vegeta makes a daring escape from Frieza's spaceship prison, stealing the five Dragon Balls, which were in Frieza's possession.

One more ball and Vegeta can gain immortality
Vegeta locates Krillin and Bulma and realizes they have a Dragon Ball (the one given to Krillin by Guru). Vegeta promises to spare their lives in exchange for the ball. Krillin reluctantly hands over the ball in order to save Bulma's life.
Suddenly Zarbon, Frieza's minion, arrives and transforms into the uglier version of himself, giving him increased strength to battle Vegeta. But Vegeta's previous battle has made him even stronger, allowing him to defeat Zarbon. Vegeta takes Krillin's Dragon Ball and flies off, surprisingly keeping his promise not to kill Krillin and Bulma. Gohan returns with the Dragon Ball that was hidden underwater. Now Vegeta cannot make his wish for immortality.

Goku is on his way!
Back on Earth, Yajirobe visits Goku in the hospital and gives him a Senzu bean. Goku immediately recovers and goes to the Capsule Corporation. Dr. Brief has designed a ship that will allow Goku to train at up to 100 times Earth's gravity. Goku takes off for Namek.

The Ginyu Force
Krillin takes Gohan to have his hidden powers revealed by Guru. On the way, Vegeta catches up with Krillin and offers a temporary alliance. Vegeta claims his wish for immortality is their only chance of beating the "unbeatable" Ginyu Force, which he senses has just arrived. Gohan and Krillin reluctantly agree, but it is too late as the Ginyu Force shows up for the Dragon Balls.
The Ginyu Force (Captain Ginyu, Jeice, Burter, Recoome, and Guldo) retrieves the seven Dragon Balls. Captain Ginyu flies off to deliver the Dragon Balls to Frieza, and the remaining members stay to finish off Vegeta, Gohan, and Krillin.
Guldo, who has the ability to freeze time by holding his breath, torments Krillin and Gohan. Right as they are about to be speared by trees, Vegeta steps in and saves them by chopping off Guldo's head.
Recoome is up next. He easily brings Krillin, Gohan, and Vegeta to the brink of death.

Suddenly Goku arrives!
Goku gives Gohan, Krillin and Vegeta Senzu Beans, and then effortlessly defeats Recoome. Gohan, Krillin and Vegeta all marvel at the extreme power Goku possesses. Burter and Jeice begin to attack Goku, but he doesn't seem at all concerned with the two members of the Ginyu Force.
Vegeta senses something has changed in Goku - "Did he become a legendary Super Saiyan!?"

3 - Captain Ginyu Saga

Race to summon the Dragon
Krillin and Gohan arrive at Frieza's ship to locate the Dragon Balls and summon Shenron. Vegeta also shows up, but hides to let Gohan and Krillin locate the balls with their Dragon Radar. Nothing happens when they try to summon the Dragon. Gohan and Krillin sense someone coming and hide.

Goku!?
Jeice and the "new" Goku arrive at Frieza's ship wondering who dug up the Dragon Balls. Krillin mistakenly comes out to greet Goku, and soon realizes this is not the Goku he knows. Gohan and Krillin begin fighting Jeice and "Goku," then the real Goku arrives in Captain Ginyu's body. The real Goku reasons with Krillin and Gohan that they can beat this "Goku" because he isn't used to his body and won't know how to use all of its powers. When Captain Ginyu in Goku's body is almost defeated, Jeice comes out to help. Vegeta also comes out of hiding to take on Jeice. Vegeta easily defeats Jeice. Captain Ginyu, tired of Goku's body, tries to sneak in another metamorphosis attack to switch bodies with Vegeta. The switch is stopped when Goku (in Captain Ginyu's wounded body) jumps in front of Vegeta and gets his body back. Captain Ginyu tries to switch with Vegeta again, but this time is stopped when Goku throws a frog up to stop the beam from reaching Vegeta. Before anyone knows what is happening, Captain Ginyu is trapped in a frog's body. Goku is put in the rejuvenation chamber on Frieza's ship. This battle is over.

4 - Frieza Saga

Frieza Transforms!
Vegeta is able to take on to Frieza, so Frieza transforms to his second form. Piccolo, just wished to Namek, senses the fighting and heads that way. Along the way he sees the dying Nail, and fuses with him. Piccolo arrives at the battle and stands up to Frieza. Frieza transforms again, and Piccolo is no match for Frieza in this form. Krillin blasts a Distructo Disc at Frieza and cuts off his tail. Frieza quickly flies to Krillin and stabs him with his horn. Gohan attacks Frieza to save Krillin, and is beaten close to death. Krillin, who has been restored by Dende, lures Frieza away. Dende now heals Gohan. Piccolo rejoins the fight, and Frieza focuses on him. Vegeta wants Krillin to attack him, so that he will be more powerful after Dende heals him. Vegeta's strength increases each time he is beat to near death. Frieza continues to fight Piccolo until he's defeated.
Gohan is furious at Piccolo's death and powers up. His hidden powers are revealed as he takes on Frieza. Gohan is too much for Frieza, so he transforms into his final form. While Frieza transforms, Dende heals Piccolo. Dende also reluctantly heals Vegeta.
Frieza sees the usefulness of Dende's healing, so the first thing he does after he transforms is eliminate Dende. He also tries to blast Gohan, but Vegeta is quick and saves Gohan. Vegeta and Frieza fight, and Vegeta is no match. Goku shows up and Vegeta is rescued, but not for long. Vegeta tells Frieza that Goku is the legendary Super Saiyan that will kill him. Frieza gets angry and blasts a hole through Vegeta's heart. As Vegeta dies, he asks Goku to take vengeance for all Saiyans. Vegeta is buried and Frieza and Goku begin to fight.

Bulma befriends the wrong frog!
Meanwhile, Bulma is in the Namekian wilderness and encounters a friendly frog. Bulma decides to try out a voice decoder on the frog so that she has someone to talk to. Before Bulma knows what has happened, she has switched bodies with the frog, and Captain Ginyu is now in her body. Captain Ginyu (as Bulma) takes her flying motorcycle and runs into Gohan, Krillin, and Piccolo watching the fight between Goku and Frieza. They quickly realize that Bulma is not herself, and Captain Ginyu attempts to switch with Piccolo for his superior fighting strength. Gohan sees Bulma the frog, and throws her into the Change beam. Bulma regains her body, and Captain Ginyu is once again a frog.
Goku and Frieza are still at it. Frieza boasts he can win using just 50% of his power. Goku is losing. In a desperate attempt, Goku prepares a Spirit Bomb, while Piccolo steps in to buy time for Goku to finish gathering power. The Spirit Bomb crushes Frieza, but he survives.
The Ginyu Force shows up on King Kai's planet. They were invited there by King Kai to fight Tien, Chaiotzu, and Yamcha, who have been training. On Earth, Chi-chi, Yajirobe, Oolong, and Master Roshi were preparing to take off for Namek, but their ship breaks down before takeoff.

Super Saiyan Goku
Frieza is very angry and blasts at Goku. Once again, Piccolo steps in to save Goku's life. Next Frieza destroys Krillin. Goku is very angry and powers up. His hair turns golden and his eyes turn green...he's now Super Saiyan. Goku asks Gohan to take Piccolo to the ship and head back to Earth.
Goku and Frieza continue to fight. Frieza is angry at the fact that he is having to use so much of his power to fight an "inferior monkey". Frieza blasts a huge fireball at the core of Planet Namek. If he can't beat Goku, he'll blow up Namek instead. Planet Namek is starting to break up, and will explode in 5 minutes. Goku is in trouble and Gohan steps in. When Goku reappears he tells Gohan to leave Namek.
Back on Earth, Kami and Popo have gathered the Dragon Balls. With King Kai's help, they are able to devise a plan to bring back all those killed by Frieza. This will bring back Guru, and in turn the Namekian Dragon Balls. The wish is made on Earth to bring back all killed by Frieza. King Kai then telepathically asks Guru to wish all those on Namek, except Goku and Piccolo, back to Earth. Dende makes the wish, and all are teleported to Earth.

Namek Explodes
As the battle intensifies, Frieza realizes he is no match for Super Saiyan Goku. Frieza tosses discs that he can direct to attack Goku. Goku manages a skillful maneuver, which ends up slicing Frieza in two. Frieza is dying and begs Goku to not leave him in that condition. Goku pities him and gives Frieza some of his energy. Goku starts to leave and Frieza tries one more attempt at killing Goku. Frieza fails in his attempt and Namek explodes.
Now on Earth, Dende heals Piccolo, and realizes that he had merged with Nail. Guru, also on Earth, is dying. Guru transfers his role as Senior Elder to Moori, another Namekian, so that the Namekian Dragon Balls will not die with him.

5 - Garlic Jr. Saga

How can Earth survive?
Fortunately Piccolo comes to help. As Piccolo holds off the attackers, he instructs Krillin and Gohan to take off and retrieve the Sacred Water. Only the Sacred Water can reverse the evil effects of the Blackwater Mist. Maron also insists on going, despite Krillin's strong objections. Krillin, Gohan and Maron first stop at Korin's Tower, leaving Yajirobe and Korin to look after Maron. Afterwards they go to Kami's Lookout, where they are ambushed by Garlic Junior and his henchmen, the Spice Boys. Joining Garlic Junior's evil entourage is Piccolo, who appears to have been transformed into a monster. As the battle rages between the two groups, Piccolo surprises everyone, since he had only been pretending to be a savage monster. As a result, he breaks the bottles holding Kami and Mr. Popo, setting them free.
Kami sets out with Mr. Popo to retrieve the Sacred Water, but to do so they'll have to cross the Graveyard of Guardians, where all the previous guardians of Earth reside. The trip is very perilous but together they manage to retrieve the Sacred Water. Upon releasing the Sacred Water, the Earthlings revert to normal. Garlic Jr. transforms into a raging beast and all looks grim because Garlic Jr. is immortal. He is eventually trapped once again in the Dead Zone Vortex.
Krillin announces that he and his girlfriend, Maron are almost engaged. In order to make her happy he decides to get a Mermaid's Tear (a pearl). However, upon seeing the pearl, Krillin changes his mind and leaves the pearl to the nice fish who are protecting it. Maron (who is always quick to flirt with others) sees a handsome hunk in a sports car and takes off with him. Heartbroken, Krillin convinces himself it was for the best anyway. During this saga, Goku is still on his way back from Namek on the spaceship.

6 - Trunks Saga

From the future?
Suddenly a boy appears out of nowhere. The mysterious youth defeats all of King Cold's henchmen with his sword. Vegeta wonders where this Super Saiyan came from, and is jealous of his strength. Frieza throws a fireball at the youth that is 10 times the size of the one that destroyed Namek. He catches and shatters the blast with little effort. To everyone's amazement, both Frieza and King Cold are easily defeated by the teenager.
The mysterious stranger meets the gang from Earth and says he's going to wait for Goku. He invites everyone to come with him. Sure enough, Goku shows up after a small wait.
The youth asks to talk to Goku alone, where he introduces himself as Trunks. He is the only surviving warrior from a battle that takes place in the future, when even Gohan perishes.
Trunks has come for two reasons: he wants to warn Goku that the androids that will arrive in three years and give Goku medicine for a heart condition that will take his life. Trunks explains that the androids were created by Dr. Gero of the Red Ribbon Army. He also reveals that Vegeta and Bulma are his parents, but tells Goku not to reveal this to them or he might not be born. Trunks leaves and says he will return in three years. The Z fighters start training in preparation and Teen Trunks returns to his own time.

Goku and Gohan continue to train, while Vegeta picks up the challenge of fighting Perfect Cell only to be defeated. Trunks jumps in to give Krillin a chance to rescue Vegeta. Trunks has amazing power and strength beyond the strength of Cell. But it takes more than strength to win a battle. He has traded speed for power and cannot catch his enemy.

Goku and Cell both radiate with energy. For a while, the fight looks even. Then Cell unleashes a series of attacks including Krillin's Destructo Disk and Tien's move where Cell separates into four separate beings. King Kai quickly realizes, "No, that is not Krillin's move.
