Dragon Ball Kai episodes

Long ago, Bardock, a Saiyan warrior died in an attempt to stop Freeza, a galactic tyrant who ruled over the vast reaches of space. But before Freeza destroys Bardock's home planet, one space pod seems to have escaped only moments beforehand. Kakarrot, Bardock's son, had escaped the planet's explosion and was sent to Earth to follow through with Freeza's orders of conquering it. Upon crash landing on Earth, however, Kakarrot is found by an elderly man, Son Gohan, who raises him as his own, naming him Son Goku. Years pass and Goku ends up serving as Earth's greatest protector, completely unaware of his Saiyan heritage. But it seems that Goku is not the only survivor of his home planet, as another Saiyan has reached Earth to remind him of his true purpose.

A stranger claiming to be Goku's older brother has kidnapped Gohan. Unable to defeat him alone, Goku is forced to team up with his enemy, Piccolo, in an attempt to rescue his son.

Unable to withstand Raditz's brute strength, Goku and Piccolo rely on Piccolo's latest technique in a last ditch effort. Will the makankosappo be enough to defeat Raditz or will a looming third fighter finally be enough to even the playing field?

With the battle against Raditz finally over, the Earth's fighters begin to train for the greater Saiyan threat to arrive within the following year.

As the year of training in preparation for the Saiyans begins, Piccolo is having more trouble than he anticipated as Gohan transforms into his Oozaru state on the full moon.

While Gohan begins to better survive in the wilderness in his training for the Saiyans, Goku finally reaches the end of Serpentine Road to meet Kaio--a rather peculiar master.

Goku continues his training under Kaio. His first challenge: catching Kaio's pet monkey Bubbles under 10 times Earth's gravity.

The year wait has finally passed, as the two Saiyans finally arrive to the planet. However, Kaio seems to have made a mistake in Goku's training which may mean either life or death for Earth!

The Saiyans have reached the planet and have encountered the fighters of Earth. However, instead of a direct confrontation, the foes unleash the Saibaimen, cultivated life-forms, on the fighters.

With Kuririn having defeated the Saibaimen, the Earth's heroes are now up against Nappa. But with another Saiyan waiting on the sidelines, will the remaining fighters be able to hold their own until Goku arrives?

Goku has finally reached the start of the Serpentine Road and continues his way towards the battle field. But will he be able to reach his comrades in time within Vegeta's three hours of allotted time?

Goku has finally reached the battle grounds, ready to fight Nappa in revenge for his fallen comrades.

It's Saiyan Peasant versus Saiyan Elite as Goku and Vegeta engage in battle.

The battle against Vegeta continues as the two Saiyajin give their all in a beam struggle.

Gohan and Kuririn arrive to the battlefield to help out the already worn out Goku. But with Vegeta having transformed into the mighty Oozaru, will their help be enough?

With our heroes in worse shape than ever, it seems that Vegeta will have his victory over the Earth. However, with Vegeta's artificial moon still active, there may be one last chance for a miracle.

Goku begs Krillin to spare Vegeta's life, allowing Vegeta to escape Earth. Bulma, Roshi then come on the scene to find Goku, Gohan, Yajirobe, and Krillin. Mourning the loss of their other friends, Krillin explains that the warriors may find Dragon Balls on Piccolo's home planet, Namek. With help from Kai-o, Goku and friends decide to go to Namek to find the Dragon Balls so they can wish their friends back to life.

Goku, Krillin, and Gohan are in the hospital recovering from the battle with Vegeta. Their friends and family come visit. When the television is turned on, they see a report about Nappa's Space-Pod. Bulma, thinking she's pressed the button that will have it fly towards them, instead self-destructs the pod. Before everyone gives up hope, Mr. Popo arrives, and tells them that he knows of another spaceship. It's the Namekian ship that Kami used to come to earth when he was a boy. Bulma reluctantly agrees to inspect it up in Yunzabit Heights with him. They realize the craft is voice-activated in the native Namekian language. Bulma converts the language to english in a few weeks with Gohan and Krillin deciding to accompany her on her journey to planet Namek in search for the Dragon Balls.

While on their journey to Namek, Gohan and Krillin practice image training. Meanwhile, Vegeta has landed on Planet Frieza No. 79, and after being revived, heads to Namek to collect the Dragon Balls once Kui tells him Lord Frieza is currently there. After 30 days aboard Kami's old space-vessel, Bulma, Krillin, and Gohan arrive on Namek. Bulma uses her scouter and notices that four of the seven dragon balls are together already. Gohan senses evil ki, but Bulma reassures them that the Namekians probably are the ones who have them. They notice Vegeta's spacepod fly overhead and land in the distance, along with a second spacepod shortly after. Vegeta isn't too thrilled to find out Zarbon and Dodoria are also accompanying Frieza.

Freiza continues to collect the Namekian dragon balls, while Vegeta deals Kui. Meanwhile, Krillian and Gohan battle more of Freiza's goons, but not before they destroy the spaceship they used to reach the planet.
