Peace returns. Years pass. Goku stays dead, training in Other World. Gohan grows into a teenage scholar. Vegeta has a son, Trunks. Then a warlock named arrives to revive the ancient, pure evil: Majin Buu — a pink, childlike, utterly insane creature who turns people into candy and eats them.
The Saiyans arrive. Nappa easily defeats the Earth’s mightiest warriors, killing Chiaotzu, Tien, Yamcha, and Piccolo (who dies protecting Gohan). Goku arrives, fresh from King Kai’s training. He defeats Nappa with ease. Then comes Vegeta — arrogant, ruthless, and powerful. The battle is brutal. Goku uses Kaioken times four to overpower Vegeta’s , but Vegeta transforms into a Great Ape after Gohan’s tail grows back. Crushed, Goku passes the fight to his friends. With Krillin’s desperate strategy and Yajirobe’s surprise sword slash, they cut Vegeta’s tail. Gohan, in a rage, crushes Vegeta’s armor as a Great Ape himself. Vegeta barely escapes on his pod. Krillin spares him on Goku’s wish — a mercy that will later define the universe. dragon ball z kai complete
The battle escalates. Frieza, able to transform into four increasingly monstrous forms, toys with everyone. He kills Dende (the new guardian of the Namekian Dragon Balls), then brutally murders Vegeta after the Saiyan prince tearfully begs Goku to avenge their race. Vegeta’s dying words reveal the legend: Frieza feared the Super Saiyan, the galaxy’s mightiest warrior. Peace returns
But the tyrant — who destroyed Vegeta’s home planet — is already there, seeking immortality. Vegeta, now a rogue, also arrives, slaughtering Frieza’s elite soldiers (Zarbon, Dodoria, the Ginyu Force) to steal their Dragon Balls. Gohan grows into a teenage scholar
Goku teaches Trunks and Goten (his younger son) the , creating Gotenks — a powerful but cocky warrior. Meanwhile, Buu absorbs Gotenks, Piccolo, and Gohan, becoming Super Buu — tall, cunning, and terrifying.
The Dragon Balls are now inert because Piccolo is dead. The heroes learn that Piccolo came from Namek, the original home of the Dragon Balls. Using Kami’s old ship, Gohan, Krillin, and the newly revived (but amnesiac) Vegeta’s ally, Bulma, journey to Namek to wish their friends back.
Goku’s golden hair blazes. His power terrifies Frieza. Their battle shatters the planet. Goku, seeing Frieza’s pathetic, begging nature, gives him some energy to escape. But Frieza attacks Goku with a sneak blast. Enraged, Goku destroys Frieza completely. Namek explodes. Goku is presumed dead, but he escapes in a Frieza Force pod.
