I never got the attraction of Dragon Ball Z and I guess I never will. |
I'll give you the basics.
Lets start with the name "Dragon Ball Z"
In DBZ, there are 7 mystical balls scattered around the earth called the "Dragon Balls". When these balls are brought together, you will be able to summon the dragon. And when you summon the dragon, he will grant you 1 wish. So if you were a resident in this world and your mom was killed in a horrific burglary, you would want to find the Dragon Balls so you could wish her back to life.
"Z" stands for "Z Fighters"
The story revolves around a race of people called the "Saijans/Saiyans". They are naturally aggressive and have tails. If they look at the moon for too long they will fall under a trance and turn into an almost unstoppable Gorrila like thing with enormous power.
These Saiyans are not free though. They are pretty much controlled by a much stronger being named Frieza. He uses them to carry out orders like taking over entire planets
So a specific Saiyan named Bardok is sent to a specific planet to overtake it. As they were taking over the planet one of the frog-like creatures on the planet, who has the ability to see the future, gave Bardok the ability to see the future like him so he could see the end of his race just like how the frog creatures knew that they would all die by the Saiyans.
Frieza becomes impressed by the Saiyans.. a little too impressed and decides to just wipe out the whole saiyan race because they were becoming too strong.
Bardok then sees his planet being destroyed, in a vision, and tries to warn his fellow Saiyans but they dont believe him.
Bardok then tries to save his race alone but is not able to. Frieza wipes out the whole Saiyan race and their entire planet(Vegeta) only leaving a handful of Saiyans left.
Bardok had 2 sons named Raditz and Kakarot(Goku) before the planet was destroyed. Goku was the Saiyan who was sent to take over the planet called Earth a couple of minutes before planet Vegeta was destroyed by Frieza.
Goku crashes on planet Earth, then his head collides into the side of the ship resulting in him not being as aggressive and not carrying out his mission in taking over Earth.
A couple years pass and then his brother Raditz is sent to Earth to see how far along his brother was in taking over Earth and this is pretty much the beginning of Dragon Ball Z.
