Story

Dragonball

Goku as a child

A Saiyan child sent to earth, found and raised by the sage Gohan. Gohan named the child Goku, and although he was wild at first, an accident where the frenzied child fell and bumped his head turned him into a friendly and peaceful child. At one point, a young Goku glared upon the full moon and transformed into a giant ape known as an Oozaru. In his uncontrollable state, Gohan is killled and the young Goku is left isolated.

Alone, Goku became a fearless and chivalrous young boy who would help those in need and in effect live a life of adventure. He trains under the turtle hermit Master Roshi and becomes a powerful fighter. His earlier achievements involve second place in his first attempt at participating in the Budokai tournament, losing to his master in the finals, and eliminating a corrupted organisation known as the Red Ribbon Army. Goku enters the Budokai tournament again, again achieving second place.

Immediately after the tournament, Goku meets his first archnemesis; the Demon King Piccolo Daimao. Through force of will over the deaths of many of his friends, Goku eventually overcomes Piccolo and saves the world from his tyranny. He later learns of the Demon King's son, Piccolo Junior, who wanted to kill Goku and avenge his father. Goku and Piccolo Junior fight in the finals of the third Budokai tournament, where Goku is victorious and claims his first triumph at the competition. He spares Piccolo however, knowing that he brought out the best of him, much to everyone else's dismay.

The Frieza Saga

Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan

Years later, the Saiyan Raditz comes to earth and reveals that he is Goku's brother, revealing Goku's true heritage as one of a dying race of space pirates. Raditz is eventually killed by Piccolo, but Goku sacrificed his own life to ensure that Piccolo did not miss. By this time, Goku had a son who he named Gohan after the man who raised him. Goku was dead, but his friends promised to bring him back to life using the Dragonballs.

Goku returns more powerful than before after training in the afterlife. He defeats the Saiyan Nappa, and then the Saiyan Prince Vegeta. Vegeta is spared however, and escapes the planet alive. Later, the protagonists decide to chase Vegeta back to the Planet Namek, Piccolo's birth planet, where they find themselves fighting alongside both the reformed Piccolo and Vegeta against the power hungry planet destroyer Frieza. In the end, Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan and defeats Frieza, seemingly dying in the planet's explosion as his friends return to earth.

The Cell Saga

Goku returns however to find that his friends have been warned of coming androids. Goku spends most of the battle against the androids recovering from a virus, but upon his recovery, he finds that the androids have been absorbed by a more evil android called Cell. Cell runs a tournament in which Goku and all his friends, including the now reformed Vegeta, participate in. Goku loses his fight with Cell, but then tells his son Gohan to fight Cell instead. When Gohan's inner rage pushes him to the level of Super Saiyan 2, he defeats Cell.

The cunning android would not be defeated so easily however. He threatened to self-destruct himself and take the whole planet with him. Goku takes action once again, teleporting both Cell and himself to a secluded planet in the other world, sacrificing himself to save the planet.

Although Cell regenerated following the explosion, he is eventually defeated by Gohan.

The Buu Saga

Super Saiyan 3

During the rise of a powerful creature called Majin Buu, Goku is returned to life once again. By this time he has conceived a son (or clone as many suspect) named Goten, and has achieved the level of Super Saiyan 3. To defeat Buu however he is forced to fuse with long time rival Vegeta. The two saiyans together dominate Buu, but eventually their fusion is broken during a trip inside Buu to save their captured friends, but Vegeta managed to return Buu to a primal wilder yet weaker state.

The wilder Buu immediately destroys the planet without warning. Goku and Vegeta eventually fight Buu again on the planet of the Kais after using the Namekian Dragonballs to revive the earth and its people, and although both are individually defeated by the creature, Vegeta formulates a plan for Goku to create a spirit bomb containing the energies of all the people of the newly revived earth, whilst Vegeta distracted Buu. The plan was sucessful, and thus Buu was defeated and earth saved for the last time in canon Dragonball history (that's right folks, I can confirm that GT and all after it are NOT canon).
