Episode 1 - a new threat

5 years of peace had passed since the defeat of the evil King Piccolo and coming down from space is a being who wishes to disturb that peace. The being is searching for a dude named Kakkorot and using a device that can locate power levels called a scouter, he finds the good Piccolo first. The being was going to kill Piccolo using a move called a Double Sunday when he picks up another reading, a stronger one, and takes off sparing Piccolo's life.

Meanwhile, Goku and Chichi have settled down deep in the middle of nowhere by a large forest and have extended the hut that Goku used to live in as a boy. He now has a little boy of his own named Gohan and the two of them, Goku and Gohan were supposed to meet up with Master Roshi and the gang. But, where was Gohan?

We find Gohan wandering around the forest lost and crying out of being incredibly scared. (Must have gotten that from Chichi) A sabertooth tiger steals his hat with the 4 star dragon ball on top and young Gohan eventually gets into trouble with a rolling log on a river. (Not that kind of log describing a man's oh nevermind)

Gohan would have fallen down a large waterfall with the log if it weren't for a mysterious power that gets Gohan out of a serious situation. Now stuck on a tree branch, Gohan is crying for his daddy, who had come to rescue the kid.

The question to answer for episode 2 will be what will happen to Goku and Gohan when the stranger meets up with them at Master Roshi's?

Episode 2 - Goku has a brother?!

Goku arrives at Master Roshi's with Gohan moments after Bulma and Krillin were there. Bulma brought "truffles', which looked more like onion cakes, but whatever. When Goku arrived, he introduced Gohan to everybody at which Gohan answered when asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, an orthopedist. I think that means foot doctor.

Moments after that, the space invader landed on Roshi's Island calling himself Raditz and Goku's older brother. He referred to Goku as Kakkorot and we learned that when Goku was little, he had a terrible head wound. This must have been before Goku met up with Bulma and Roshi a long time ago.

Raditz had a mission, he wanted to have Goku join him in the conquest of other planets. That meant going to planets, eliminating them of population and then selling them on the black market. But we all know Goku would not go for that as Raditz had learned, and so Raditz kidnaps Gohan ordering Goku to kill 100 earthlings and dump the corpses on the beach.

This is not so much a spoiler, but we all know Goku won't do it. He will try something else to get back his son.

Episode 3 - A plan to save Gohan

After Raditz flies off with Gohan, Goku out of frustration wanted to go after Raditz and attempt foolishly to save Gohan on his own. But Roshi told Goku, in order to beat a foe like Raditz, we cannot just go to a fight like that without some sort of plan first.

Then Goku remembered about a saiyan's weakpoint was their tail. The problem was Goku couldn't grab the tail and expect to beat Raditz alone. That WOULD be stupid. Krillin and Roshi both offered to help, but if they died, it would be for keeps. In arrives Piccolo.

The green man offers to team up with Goku claiming that together they can beat Raditz. The motives Piccolo has against Raditz is strictly so that he can take over earth and Raditz cannot. Point being, Raditz needed to be stopped and Piccolo was willing to help Goku now so that he can beat Goku later.

Now, how to find Raditz? Dragon radar time! Gohan had a dragon ball on his hat and Gohan was wearing the hat, so in order to find where Raditz went, just follow the dragon ball with the radar.

Before Goku and Piccolo got to Raditz's location, Raditz gets a reading of 710 radiating from Gohan. According to Raditz, that's impossible for a kid. Not believing his scouter, Raditz was surprised when Goku and Piccolo did indeed arrive when his scouter indicated that they were on their way.

After pleasantries were exchanged, a battle ensues.

Episode 4 - Piccolo's plan

As the fight continues, Piccolo eventually reveals that he has come up with a new technique while at the same time, insulting Goku by calling him a slacker. When the attack missed, Raditz retaliated. He was going to use his double sunday on Piccolo.

Goku wisely grabbed Raditz's tail, but thanks to a little lying, Raditz was able to get free. Now lying on the ground helpless, Goku was about to be killed by his older brother when without warning, Raditz picked up a large power level nearby.

At first, the three didn't see anything until they heard a loud crash and then saw little Gohan ready to attack. The kid was pissed!

Episode 5

In Gohan's rage, he managed to damage the chest part of Raditz's armor, thus weakening the powerhouse saiyan. And just before Raditz could kill Gohan for the heroics, Goku grabbed onto Raditz from behind, giggity, and ordered Piccolo to try the special beam cannon one more time.

Unable to block the attack, both Raditz and Goku were killed by it, but there is hope for Goku as the dragon balls can bring him back. On the flip side of that, two more powerful saiyans Vegeta and Nappa are in their own pods heading for Earth because they want to wish for immortality after hearing about the dragon balls through raditz's scouter.

Earth's special forces have 1 year to train and get stronger to prepare for this threat. Goku has gone to another dimension thanks to Kami for some special purpose. What that purpose is, we will just have to wait and see.
