*****SPOILERS*****

Synopsis: After Goku passes away, his body disappears from the mortal plane, so that Kami can convince King Yemma to let him train with Kaio-sama (I should just go with "King Kai", right?).

Comments:

I recently ordered the three first DBZ movies on DVD in a fit of reckless nostalgia. I found a great deal, though, since I bought the original DVDs, with the Ocean dub. The movies escaped the early censorship the series got, and I get bilingual discs that include the superior Ocean cast (with Peter Kelamis, Goku in season 2)! Fuckwin.

* ****SPOILERS***** Synopsis: The armored man, whose name is Raditz, and is Goku's brother, reveals that he and Goku are both part of a race of alien warriors called the Saiyans and Goku's real name is "Kakkarot". He insists that Goku accompany him to destroy a planet, and when Goku refuses, Raditz kidnaps little Gohan.
