Drabonball Z Episode 1: Gohan - Goku's Son

(original, Japanese episode)

It has been five years since Goku stopped Piccolo from taking over the Earth and peace has returned, but for how long? A spaceship is then shown heading directly for Earth. Then we see Goku, who is now grown up and married to Chi-Chi. His strength is still amazing, as he demonstrates by knocking down a tree with one punch and carrying it back to his home. Chi-Chi is calling for their son, Gohan. The next scene shows a man’s farm and the space pod crashing into the Earth. The farmer investigates the crash and is approached by a strange warrior who emerges from the pod. The alien begins to complain about why the humans have not been destroyed and then approaches the farmer. He reads the man’s power level with a device that is attached to his ear. Out of fear, the man tries to shoot the alien, but he catches the bullet and fires it back with a flick of his thumb, which hits the farmer and sends him flying into his truck. He then flies off toward a strong power level in the distance. Next we meet Gohan who appears to be lost in the forest. Many crazy things happen to him as he is attacked by a saber tooth, falls off a cliff, swept away by a river, and almost goes over a waterfall. Goku rescues him and they head out for Master Roshi’s place aboard the yellow cloud (Nimbus in the English versions). In the mean time, Piccolo (Goku’s nemesis from Dragonball) is paid a visit from the mysterious warrior. Piccolo tries an energy blast on him, but it has no effect whatsoever. Just as the warrior was about to counterattack, he picks up a reading of a stronger force and says that it must be Kakarotto and flies off. Piccolo falls down in terror. Who is this warrior from another world and who is Kakarotto?
