Season: 1

Nappa and Vegeta overhear Master Roshi talking about the dragon balls over Raddit'z scouter. Piccolo tells Gohan that he will train him. In the afterlife, Kami tries to convince Yemma to let Goku travel on Snakeway to King Kai's planet to receive training to battle the Saiyans coming to Earth.

Piccolo and Goku catch up to Raditz and challenge him to a fight. After he notices they are getting stronger from removing clothing, he begins to get naked until Goku informs him that they are just wearing weighted clothing. Radditz, embarrassed and angered, attacks Piccolo and Goku. Goku dies. Piccolo then grows his arm back and flies off with Gohan.

The episode opens on a peaceful farm when a space pod crashes down onto Earth into a farmer's marijuana patch. Piccolo is interrupted by the alien, who confused him for someone named "Kakarot." At Kame House, the alien arrives and explains to Goku that he is actually part of an alien race called the Saiyans and that they are brothers. Raditz, the Saiyan, requests Goku to join him and destroy everyone on the planet. Goku declines, so Raditz takes Gohan and flies away.

Vegeta rages at having been surpassed by Goku. Vegeta creates an artificial moon and transforms into a giant ape. King Kai tells Goku to use the spirit bomb to defeat Vegeta. Goku begins gathering the energy he needs but forgets to remain well hidden from the Saiyan ape, getting pummeled into the ground instantly…
