Dragon Ball Z Kai (ドラゴンボール改「カイ」)

Kakarot, huh?

Just another lower-class warrior child...

We'll send him to one of the frontier planets.

He's no good to us here.

I suppose not.

On Planet Vegeta,

a baby boy cries out for the first time.

Little could he know-- high in the skies above,

both his father and his home world

are under threat by a fearsome enemy...

Frieza-a-a!

Frieza!

Oh, he's come out...

--It's Frieza! --He's joining the battle...

It all comes down to this...

My fate... Planet Vegeta's, Kakarot's...

And, yes... ...yours too, Frieza.

We settle it here!

What the--?!

Ka... Ka...Kakarot...

Kakarot!

Kakarot, my son...

You must succeed where I have failed...

One day, you must rise up

to avenge the Saiyans of Planet Vegeta...

Redeem the pride of our race!

So it came to be, that this child from

a faraway planet fell to Earth...

Oh dear...! I can't very well

leave you out here all on your own?

And thanks to the kindness of a stranger,

he would make this new world his home.

I think I'll call you... Goku!

This is where the story of Goku begins!

The years passed, and the baby Goku

grew to be a strong, healthy boy.

But his life would be forever changed when he

met a girl named Bulma,

and joined her on her quest to find the Dragon Balls--

seven magic orbs that when gathered together,

would call forth the dragon Shenron to grant a single wish.

Goku met many new friends in his travels, and honed his

skills as a pupil of the

great martial artist, Master Roshi--

skills that were continually put to the test, as he was

forced to defend himself

and his friends against a host of dangerous opponents.

Goku's toughest test came

when he faced the powerful villain,

King Piccolo. But the help of the

sage Korin allowed Goku to tap into vast reserves

of still-hidden strength.

In the battle that followed, the true extent of Goku's

otherworldly powers was revealed,

and with a mighty charge,

King Piccolo's quest for world domination

came crashing to a halt.

However-- with his dying breath,

King Piccolo had time to hatch one final scheme...

And three years later,

Piccolo Junior, appeared before a grown-up Goku,

looking to avenge his father, and resume his evil plans.

Another epic battle ensued.

And though the two were almost equally matched,

in the end, the new Piccolo

still could not withstand Goku's might.

Five years have passed since that fateful day.

Goku married his childhood sweetheart,

Chichi, and the two have enjoyed a quiet life together,

while the world remained at peace....

...until now.

Go-haaaaaaan!

It's lunchtime!

Go-haaaaaaan!

Ahhh...

Ahhh...

This one oughta do it.

Gohan, where are you?!

Goku!

I'm glad you're back.

Have you seen Gohan? I've got lunch ready.

Well what are we waiting for?

I'm starving.

Did you even hear what I said?!

I asked you where your son is!

Huh? I dunno.

I thought he was with you.

He must've snuck off to play when I wasn't looking.

You two should eat soon

or you'll be late for Master Roshi's.

Okay... I'll go look for him.

He hasn't been gone long.

I doubt he's wandered too far.

Right. Don't worry, I'll find him.

Don't take long!

You're a pretty bird.

Hi, my name's Gohan. Nice to meet you.

Aw...! Don't go!

Mommy! Daddy! Help!

Gohan!

Dad! Here... I'm here!

Just hang on...!

Don't worry, I'll get you out!

Hold on!

There. Almost--!

Daddy!

Gohan!

Daddy!

Gohan!

Gohan!

Help, Daddy...!

I don't like it up here! I'm scared!

I can't get down...! Daddy...!

Oh, Daddy! It was so scary!

There was this bird,

and then it flew away, and then I fell,

and the log spun, and the water...

How did you get way up here?

Did... you jump?

What...? Oh...

uh... I dunno...

Well... C'mon...

What do you say we get you home, huh...?

Your mom was worried about you...

And don't forget,

I'm taking you to meet my old teacher today, too.

Okay...

Whooo, boy...

I guess that should just about do it.

What in... the heck... was that...?!

A--A meteor...? A UFO?!

Uhh... That's no meteor... but what is it?

Who--Who...are you...?!

What do you want?!

You have a power level of only 5, huh...? Pitiful.

Stay back! Don't come any closer...!

I... I'll shoot! I mean it!

Ha...

It's a race of utter weaklings.

There's someone with a decent power level...

Range: forty-eight eighty.

Where are you Kakarot?!

Wha--What is this... power I'm sensing...?

It can't be... Goku?!

Who's that?!

You're not Kakarot.

What do you want?

Who are you...?

You have some business with me?

No, I was just looking for someone.

Then unless you're in a hurry to die...

...keep moving.

Well aren't you the feisty one...

Ah-h... And I see why.

Power level three-twenty-two...

That's almost respectable.

Almost.

It's still nothing compared to me.

Why you--I should kill you where you stand!

Do you have any idea who you're talking to?!

Does it matter?

What's wrong with him?

He can't be that powerful, can he...?

This is only one way to find out...

You call that an attack?

Pathetic.

Although...

...it is effective at kicking up dust.

You finished? That all you've got...?

In that case, why don't I show you one of my moves?

A new signal...

It looks like another strong power level...

It's that way...

Range: twelve-nine-oh-nine and closing...

It's a big one...

...certainly the biggest power level on this puny planet.

This is it... It must be Kakarot!
