The Greatest Hero on Earth Goku and Piccolo finally face each other down in the final match of the Tenka'ichi Bud?kai! Piccolo is ready and willing to unleash all his power to win - something Goku may hesitate to do. Taking down Piccolo is going to take all of Goku's skill and wits?and courage! But after the tournament is over, life goes on. There will be new enemies to face and even more surprising new allies!
When Kuririn is killed by a lizard-like monster, Goku goes in search of the culprit and finds his most terrifying enemy yet: the evil Demon King Piccolo! Freed after centuries of imprisonment, Piccolo sends waves of monsters on a mission to find the Dragon Balls and destroy any martial artists who might oppose him. With his flying cloud destroyed, Goku finds himself lost in the jungle where he meets an unlikely new ally. Meanwhile, Kame-Sen'nin prepares a last-ditch plan to defeat Piccolo... but at what cost?
Goku and Captain Ginyu fight it out to the end--in each other's bodies! With Goku's life hanging by a thread, Gohan and Kuririn must use the seven Dragon Balls of Namek to summon the mighty Dragon Lord, who can grant any three wishes! But they'd better wish fast, because converging on them are Freeza, lord of the universe, and Vegeta, their evil ally--both seeking the Dragon Balls to wish for eternal life for themselves. Soon, all our heroes are forced to fight together against Freeza--and their salvation may come in the form of not Goku, but Piccolo, now stronger than ever!
As Freeza changes into new forms, each more powerful than the last, the desperate heroes-- Gohan, Kuririn, Piccolo and the self-serving Vegeta--find themselves struggling merely to stay alive. Desperate for a trump card, Vegeta asks Kuririn to mortally wound him, so that his auto-evolving mechanism will turn him into the legendary strongest fighter in the universe--the Super Saiyan! On the other side of the planet, Goku awakens from within his healing capsule and streaks to the battlefield to turn the tide. But even in his final, supposedly deadliest form, Freeza has an ace up his sleeve...
Our heroes' worst fears have come true: Androids #17 and #18, who in time traveler Trunks' future have already destroyed the world, have been activated! With Goku almost dead from a virus, only Super Saiyan Vegeta has a chance against them. But something even worse than androids has come back from the future. Something that leaves whole cities empty, eating 50,000 people at a time.
Dragon Ball Z fast-forwards into the future! Years after the battle with Cell, the Earth has forgotten about the existence of the super warriors, and Gohan is living the life of a mild-mannered high school student - until the world needs the power of the Great Saiyaman! As Gohan's high school classmates ponder the similarity between their classmate and the masked crimefighter, two even stronger warriors prepare to make their names known. Their names are Goten and Trunks, and though they're not even out of elementary school, they may be the toughest things on the planet! A Rating
