Yup Goku's a friggin alien. Or Saiyajin in the japanese version. The Japanese version is a lot more informative. Damn it FCC! American kids are not that weak! >.>

Yea, that should've been in episode one. I just want to let future people know that this is the Japanese version. The American has (U.S.) in front of it.

So, following that statement, I can't believe Piccolo actually decided to team up with Goku. He must have calmed down in the last five years.

Ow so it wasn't Vegeta oh boy this sure is getting interesting so Goku or should I call him Kakarot is from a superior master race of Saiyans and his brother Raditz came to get him back on his mission, well this sure is developing quite lovely already!

The plot in this is forming faster then I imagined. Goku's brother and his beings want to take over the earth and they want Goku to join them. Turns out Goku is from outer space and was supposed to take over destroy the world years ago! His brother is an evil one. I really hate it when villains use children to their advantage. Poor Gohan. Goku will get revenge on his evil brother!

Lol so not only I was surprised that Goku had a son but his friends too. I guess for ChiChi it was easy to explain what Goku has to do. Put the thing into the thing and here comes Gohan in a few months ^_^.

I wonder if anyone ever made a doujin for the first time Goku had sex, would probably make for some great comedy.

Informative episode, though I more or less remembered what was said. It's interesting how different the music is in the Japanese version, and there was a bit of blood when Kuririn is punched through the wall. Crazy seeing Goku get manhandled like that.

What a great episode, so much background story, awesome!

Son Goku's real name is Kakarott. He's a Saiyajin from the planet Vegeta and Radditz's younger brother. Radditz explains that all Saiyajins have tails and they transorm at full moon. They're also strong warriors. Kakarott's mission was to eliminate the human race but he became a good guy.

Radditz tells that planet Vegeta was destroyed and only four Saiyajins including Kakarott have survived. He wants Kakarott to join the other three Saiyajins in order to occupy planets all over the universe, elimate their population and sell the planets.

Kakarott says his name is Son Goku, he has grown up on Earth and he will stay with his friends on Earth. After this, Radditz kidnaps Son Gohan to blackmail Son Goku.

Again, this episode was awesome!

I just finished watching DB Original, and I feel extremely underwhelmed from that first episode as most of it is just filler. I know that since I read the first volume of the manga a while back. Episode 2 however picks up the pace and introduces my boi Raditz. Thats all I have to say, keep scrollin

What a throwback. Goku has come so far and it shows with the contrast of getting taken out by one punch from radditz VS rivaling godly strength in the dbs series.

also, F for Krillin getting taken out by a saiyan tail XD

So I was right, the Saiyans thought that even a baby of their own was enough to get the job done. I don't think they did a thorough job of examining the entirety of humans on Earth. After all, I am quite sure that legendary martial artists like Master Roshi and exceptional, well-known fighters throughout the world could have taken on baby Goku of all human life stage. I don't think that was a well-thought-out plan.

Regardless, Raditz is as powerful as it seems. Just one knee kick was enough to send Goku, the strongest life form on Earth, writhing on the ground in pain. I have to say, though, it is a bit discomfiting to think that if it weren't for Grandpa Gohan, Goku wouldn't be the innocent, pure, good-natured person that he is today.

They make assumptions based on the fact that the destination has a moon and the locals are globally not very "developed" warrior-wise.

Huh, really wasn't expecting Goku to be this Kakarrot guy. This episode offered quite the backstory. It will explain why Goku's power is so otherworldly if he isn't even from this planet in the first place. Well, this was interesting and a complete game-changer.

This episode was a history class XD!!!

However I thought everyone just looks similar here but this guy turned out to be Goku's brother. But they are cruel. It is funny to imagine that Goku was the villain this all time who became hero just because he was hit hard on his head and lost his memory. Good thing is that Vegeta planet is done for. Now Goku have save poor Gohan. I wonder if Piccolo joins him. At least Piccolo should join to eliminate their common enemy because this one is way stronger than them.

Haha!! I also didn't thought at first. I thought it would be Piccolo. But when Raditz mentioned someone stronger like Piccolo, I understood it have to be him as he is the only person who was able to defeat Piccolo Junior.

on time to see the dbz special 1: bardock 😎 also before DragonBall is valid too, so you can piece all this together but if you do so warning: that
will not show up in a while on this show but you'll get full details of the story before the introduction of this character that i think it's worth the sacrifice for that.

on the other hand we have Carrot vs Radish from planet Vegetal 😭

it is indeed strange to see them so overpowered against the enemy but i guess it's a start

Raditz revealed so much wow, this is definitely a big tonal shift even from the late stages of DB. People here are complaining about the filler start but TBH i would have loved to see Goku, Chichi, and Gohan being a cute family in peace for 1 or 2 episodes.
