Dragon Ball Z

Years after his adventures as a boy, Goku is now a grown man with a son named Gohan, and his peaceful family life is shattered when a fearsome stranger named Raditz arrives and reveals a secret: Goku is not from Earth, but a member of a warrior race called the Saiyans. With a far greater threat looming, Goku and his former rivals must team up and train harder than ever to protect the planet from the Saiyans, and later from even more terrifying enemies like the tyrant Frieza and the artificial warriors known as the Androids. Along the way, Gohan, Piccolo, Vegeta, and the rest of the Z Fighters grow into powerful heroes, with some friendships and rivalries changing more than anyone expected. The story is packed with huge power-ups, explosive battles that can shake entire planets, and the ever-present hope of the Dragon Balls to undo the worst losses. At heart, it's an energetic tale about teamwork, determination, and pushing past your limits to protect the people you care about.
