Piccolo takes Gohan into his custody and flies off, intending to train the boy in the martial-arts. Bulma takes Raditz's scouter in order to repair it and find Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu. Kami takes Goku along with his body to the afterlife.
Run in the Afterlife, Goku! The One Million Mile Snake Way! Bulma, Krillin, and Master Roshi arrive to witness Goku's death.
Before he succumbs to his wound, Raditz tells his enemies that the other Saiyans will be on Earth within a year. Goku uses this opportunity to grab Raditz from behind, allowing Piccolo to use his " Special Beam Cannon" technique on Raditz, killing him as well as Goku. Raditz tortures Goku, causing Gohan to unleash his latent abilities in a fit of rage, and he strikes Raditz in the chest. This plan fails, as does Goku's attempt to stop Raditz by grabbing his tail. Goku and Piccolo are no match for Raditz in direct conflict, so they decide to have Goku distract Raditz while Piccolo gathers energy for an attack strong enough to defeat Raditz. Goku and Piccolo confront the Saiyan at his space pod's crash site, but Raditz is not impressed and tells them that the other two Saiyans are even stronger than him.Ī Life or Death Battle! Goku and Piccolo's Desperate Attack! Piccolo appears and offers to help him defeat Raditz, Goku accepts his offer and together they follow after Raditz. He then asks Goku to join them in exterminating the population of Earth, taking Gohan hostage when Goku refuses. Raditz reports that he and Goku are of an alien race called the Saiyans and that he and Goku are among the last four remaining. Goku cannot remember this, as he suffers from brain damage caused by a fall when he was a child. The stranger says that his name is Raditz and that he is Goku's older brother. The Enemy is Goku's Brother?! The Secret of the Mighty Saiyan Warriors! The stranger arrives and speaks to Goku in a familiar manner. The other strong life form is Goku, who at Master Roshi's house presents his son to Roshi, Krillin, and Bulma. Piccolo is nearly killed by the stranger, but this is averted when the man leaves to scout out a more powerful life form. A man in battle armor emerges from the vessel and flies off to scout out a powerful life form he locates with the help of an apparatus on his eye. Elsewhere, an odd-looking spacecraft crash lands on Earth. Goku and Gohan are heading towards a reunion with Goku's friends. Five years have passed since Goku's victory over Piccolo at the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament, and he has since married Chi-Chi and now has a son named Gohan. The episode begins with a flashback of the destruction of Planet Vegeta at the hands of Frieza, and the upbringing of Goku on Earth as depicted in the original Dragon Ball series.
