In this movie...

Movie 1: Dead Zone

In the beginning (Dragonball), Kami landed on Earth and created the 7 legendary dragonballs. To become pure of heart, the Namek separated into two forms- one good and one evil. The evil replica had a son, who became known as Piccolo. After battling Goku, Piccolo faced defeat. Because Piccolo and Kami are so related, they held a bond of life. When one perished, the other died as well...

Garlic Jr., a rival of Kami, decided to kill Kami through the destruction of Piccolo. As a result, at the beginning of the movie, Garlic Jr. sends his minions to kill Piccolo. After a battle, Piccolo escapes with barely his life.

Garlic Jr. decides that he must get stronger so he seeks the dragonballs to be granted the wish of immortality. Gohan, meanwhile, wore a hat that had the fourth star dragonball on it. Thus, he gets kidnapped for his hat. (He does not know how to fight at this time.) Then, Gokou goes to rescue his son with Krillin. At Garlic Jr.'s black island, Goku and Krillin are joined by Piccolo. Goku and Piccolo fight and kill Garlic Jr.'s minions. Krillin finds Gohan and carries him and looks for a safe place to hide. Meanwhile, Kami faces Garlic Jr. and gets beat up. Goku and Piccolo finally find Garlic Jr., but Garlic Jr. has already been granted his wish! Garlic Jr. changes into his muscular battle form and fights Goku and Piccolo. Goku and Piccolo get beaten. Garlic Jr. praises how strong he's become and creates a portal that would suck everything into a world of eternal nothingness. Gohan regains consciousness and sees the threat of Garlic Jr. He gets angry and blasts Garlic Jr. through his own portal. Garlic Jr. is sucked into the Dead Zone and all returns to normal. At the end, Gohan forgets all that has happened and returns home with Goku.

The first alliance between Piccolo and Goku is shown. Gohan's secret powers are revealed for the first time.

Movie 2: World's Strongest

Oolong steals Bulma's Dragon Radar to locate the Dragonballs. He and Gohan are in the northern glaciers to find the Dragonballs, but discover that someone else has already gathered them and made a wish. Upon the wish a lab is found from all the mealted ice. Gohan and Oolong go near the lab to investigate, but are attacked by bio-men (sort of like the Saiba-men). Piccolo rescues them, but is defeated by three androids. Meanwhile, Gohan and Oolong escape.

Later, some of the bio-men appear at the Kami House and takes Bulma and Master Roshi. In the lab we meet Dr. Willow. It turns out that he is a giant brain functioning inside a giant machine. 50 years ago him and his lab were destroyed and coverd in ice. Now that they are released with the help of the Dragonballs, Dr. Willow wants to find the strongest man on Earth and take over his body. (He believes that Master Roshi is the strongest because Master Roshi won the martial arts tournament at the time he was covered in iced.) Next, Master Roshi is put in a room to fight the three androids that defeated Piccolo. Master Roshi is defeated.

Meanwhile, Goku is on his way to rescue Bulma and Master Roshi. Dr. Willow's computer picks up Goku's energy signal. Bulma sees it and exclaims that Gokou is the strongest man, not Master Roshi. Dr. Willow finds this interesting and sends his three androids to fight Goku. Goku fights and is joined by Gohan and Krillin. They kill the androids and find Dr. Willow. Here, they meet with Piccolo who is brainwashed by some golden straps placed around his head. Goku and Piccolo battle while Gohan tells them to stop fighting. Because Dr. Willow brainwashed Piccolo making Piccolo and Goku fight, Gohan gets angry and a wave of energy is sent all over the lab and at Dr. Willow in an attempt to destroy him. This shockwave releases Piccolo from Dr. Willow's control. Meanwhile, Krillin tries to rescue Bulma but ends up running from another android's machine-gun. Master Roshi escapes Dr. Willow's prison and aids Krillin. Bulma is freed.

With the tie of the battle turning, Dr. Willow knows that he cannot defeat Goku and shows him his true self. It turns out that the machine Dr. Willow is placed in is really a robot built into the lab. Dr. Willow unleashes his body (thus destroying the lab) and begins to attack. The robot seems unable to be defeated, but Goku creates a Genki-dama (spirit bomb) and destroys Dr. Willow.

Afterwards, the good guys stand together and joke that Master Roshi is really the world's dirtiest man.

Movie 3: Tree of Might

Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma are camping in a forest. Meanwhile, Taurus and his crew are looking for a planet with rich energy sources that can support the life of their special tree. (This tree grows by eating away the energy of the planet it grows on. Whoever eats its fruits can receive a huge amount of energy- Taurus and his crew want the power from the fruits.) One of Taurus's space probes crashes into the earth and starts a forest fire. This probe tells Taurus that Earth is a planet capable of supporting his tree. At the same time, Gohan and Krillin battle the forest fire and save the wildlife living in it. Here, Gohan saves a baby purple dragon who later becomes his pet. The Dragonballs are then used to restore the burned down forest.

Back at Kame House, King Ki transmits the news of Taurus and his plot to Goku. Goku tells the rest of the Z fighters about Taurus and they head out to destroy the energy-eating tree that has already been planted. Goku, Gohan, Yamcha, Krillin, Tien, and Choazu all make a energy blast against the tree, but the tree remains unharmed. The Z fighters then encounter Taurus's minions and they battle. Piccolo joins the fight. At the end, all the Z fighters are defeated except Goku and Gohan. Gohan runs into Taurus and misunderstands him for his father. (Taurus and Goku are twin brothers, except that Taurus is kinda a black- dark purple color.) Taurus trashes Gohan and relizes that Gohan is a Saiyan. He asks Gohan to join him in the Saiyan Conquest, but when Gohan refuses Taurus uses a moonlight ball to create another moon. He forces Gohan's head to look at it and Gohan's tail grows back. As you can guess, Gohan enters his Oozaru form and begins to trash everything. Goku, trying to get to Gohan to defend him from Taurus, is blocked by Taurus's crew. Goku angrily kills all of them, but is too late. Gohan is uncontrollable in his Oozaru form. Gohan sees his pet dragon ,Icaris, and remembers who he really is. He regains control of his body in Oozaru form and begins to smash Taurus. Gohan gets his tail cut off and returns into his normal form.

Now only Goku and Taurus remain. When Goku refuses to join his twin brother, they fight. Taurus heads for the tree of might and eats one of the fruits. He receives and enormous amount of power and defeats Goku. Goku keeps telling himself that he must save the earth so he cannot die. As a result, he creates a Genki-dama (spirit bomb), which blasts Taurus through the tree. Both Taurus and the tree of might are detroyed. Upon the tree's destruction, energy is released are restores the damamge it has created.

Movie 4: The Super Saiyan, Goku

Gohan and his pet dragon Icaris are showing Piccolo a dance, but Piccolo seems to weaken upon hearing Gohan whistle and tells them to stop. Meanwhile, the TV broadcasts that a planet is about to collide with the Earth. Goku and Krillin fly and shoot energy blasts at the approaching planet hoping to deflect the planet off its collision course, but fail. The planet crashes into the Earth anyway, but it turns out to be a spaceship instead. Aliens march out of the ship and demand that the Earthlings leave the planet in three days, or else! The humans laugh and are attacked. A satellite is launched and the sun is blocked thus, the Earth begins to freeze. The commander of the ship is Slug, who learns about the dragonballs and wishes back his youth.

Yajirobe finds Goku and Krillin, who survived, and feeds them senzu beans. Meanwhile, Gohan attacks the aliens. Eventually, Gohan gets beat up and Piccolo appears. Piccolo once again protects Gohan by shielding him from an enemy energy blast. Both get beaten down. Krillin and Goku appear at the scene. Slug comes out of his ship and shoots a energy blast in it to destroy all his cowardly minions who ran from Goku. Slug then takes off his helmet and reveals that he is a Namek like Piccolo. King Ki mentally tells Gokou that Slug is a Super Namek. Both Krillin and Goku get beat up by Slug. Goku gets angry and powers up incredibly. King Ki wonders if Gokou is the Super Saiyan. Slug gets beaten, but powers up as well and grows in size. Once again, Goku gets pounded. Piccolo reaches for Goku's hand and holds it as he transfers his energy to Goku. With new strength, Goku flys through Slug. Next, he flies up to destroy Slug's satellite, but Slug survived Goku's punch and is flying up to finish off Goku. Goku then gathers energy from the sun to create a Genki Dama (spirit bomb). This energy blast destroys both Slug and his satellite. Yajirobe appears again and gives senzu beans to all the beaten heroes.

Movie 5: Strongest Vs. Strongest/ Battle of the Strongest

Coola, Freeza's older brother, learns that his brother was killed by a Saiyan. Coola then flies to Earth to kill Goku. He boasts that he will kill Goku not for the revenge of Freeza, but for the termination of all Saiyans.

Goku gets blasted in the back and is severly injured. Krillin hides with Goku in a cave as Coola's minions look for Goku. Gohan rides off on his dragon Icaris back to Karins Tower to get senzu beans. On his way back, Gohan gets discovered and is attacked. Piccolo appears and defends Gohan again. Coola's minions are killed (Gohan and Krillin are also beaten in the fight), but Coola appears and beats Piccolo. Goku heals after eating the senzu bean Gohan brought back. He and Coola fight. Coola transforms into a more powerful body and beats Goku. Goku gets angry and reaches Super Saiyan form. Coola launches a energy blast at Goku, but Goku deflects it back at Coola and Coola is blown into the sun.

Movie 6: Crash: The Ten-Billion Power Fighters/ MetallicCoola

A spaceship lands of Planet Namek and begins devouring it. The Nameks ask Dende for help, and Dende asks the Z fighters for help. Master Roshi, Oolong, Yajirobe, Vegeta, Piccolo, Gohan, Krillin, and Goku travel to Namek.

Namek seems to have been invaded by robots. A metallic Coola appears (now with the ability to regenerate and rebuild himself after damage). Goku battles this Coola while the others battle the robots. Vegeta appears and assists Goku. All the others except Piccolo have been captured by the robots. After a long enduring battle in Super Saiyan form, Goku and Vegeta finally destroy Coola. Sounds are heard and thousands of other Coolas appear over the cliff. They tell that the Coola they just killed is just another model and can easily be rebuilt. Goku and Vegeta are shocked and also get captured. Inside they see the real Coola who is now a giant head attached to the spaceship invading the planet. He explains that when Goku blasted him into the sun he attached with advanced technical parts flowing in space and the spaceship (him) was formed. He plans to capture Namek to power his ship. Goku and Vegeta were tied up, but they reached Super Saiyan form anyway in hope of overloading the ship with power. Meanwhile, Piccolo enters the ship and rescues his comrades. (Goku and Vegeta were held in a different room.) Goku gathers some energy and attacks the real Coola. Coola explodes and so does the ship. Piccolo and the the others managed to escape in time, but they mourn the loss of Goku and Vegeta. It turns out that Goku and Vegeta survived the explosion and are blown to where their friends await them.

Movie 7: Battle to the Limits: The Three Super Saiyans

When Dr. Gero was killed by Android 17, he had three other androids stored in the floor below. His death brought to the life Androids 13, 14, and 15 (androids with the sole purpose to destroy Goku).

Goku and his friends are at a mall and everyone is eating lunch. Meanwhile, Androids 14 and 15 enter the mall and destroy everything in their path. Together they do an energy blast and destroy the portion of the mall where Goku is. Goku and his friends carry all the civilians away from the explosion to safety. Goku encounters Androids 14 and 15 and they battle. Trunks joins the battle. Goku and Trunks lure the androids to the glaciers so that no civilians would get hurt. (Gohan and Krillin follow as well, but they only hide and watch.) There, Android 13 makes his appearance. Piccolo and Vegeta also enter the battle. Trunks destroys Android 14 and Vegeta destroys Android 15. However, components from these androids flow up and combine with Android 13's body. Android 13 morphs into a super android and beats up everyone. Finally, Goku creates a Genki Dama (spirit bomb) and uses the energy to kill the android.

The Dangerous Bloody Battle

Goku and Chi-Chi are at an interview to get Gohan into a good school. King Ki teleports Goku a message to teleport to his planet at once. Meanwhile, Goku's friends are at a picnic. A spaceship lands and Paragus comes out to seek Vegeta. Paragus tells Vegeta that he is a Saiyan and is working to create a new Planet Vegeta. He tells that he wants Vegeta to rule this new planet, but there is a Legendary Super Saiyan that remains a threat. Vegeta falls for the lie and goes to the new Planet Vegeta. Trunks, Gohan, Krillin, Master Roshi, and Oolong follow as well. At King Ki's planet, King Ki also tells Goku about the Legendary Super Saiyan and Goku teleports to the new Planet Vegeta as well.

As days pass by our heroes learn that Paragus's son, Brolli, is the Legendary Super Saiyan. Paragus wanted revenge on Vegeta because Vegeta's father, King Vegeta, sentenced him and his son (an infant at the time) to death and their bodies were dumped as trash. When Planet Vegeta exploded Brolli's energy saved them. Brolli was suppose to be executed (Paragus counldn't see himself killing his own son so he stabed Brolli in the shoulder) because King Vegeta feared the baby's great power and did not want anyone stronger than him. Brolli's powers later became almost uncontrolable and Brolli went mad. Paragus put special bracelets and a head band on him to control his son. Brolli also has a grudge against Goku. When Brolli was born, he was born on the same day as Goku. Brolli hated Goku so much because Goku was always crying and Brolli hated it.

Brolli turns into his Super Saiyan form and breaks free of Paragus's control over him. Brolli trashes everyone. Piccolo also arrived to battle, but was trashed as well. Meanwhile, Paragus tried to escape the planet because he knew Brolli was crazy and will kill everyone he sees. Brolli spots Paragus inside a space-pod and crushes the pod killing his father. No one is able to defeat Brolli and are all out of strength. Goku tells his comrades to give him their strength. Everyone except Vegeta face their hands to Goku and do this. This power is still not enough to defeat Brolli. Finally, Vegeta donates his energy as well. With this new strength Goku kills Brolli in one punch. The planet explodes, but not before Goku teleports all his friends to a spaceship heading back to Earth.

Goten, Trunks, and Videl encounter a village that is terrorized by a monster. They agree that if they vanquish the beast they would get Kitou-shi's (the village omen teller) dragonball. Goten and Trunks have fun killing the monster and receive the dragonballs. Videl is surprised at the young boys' power. The village and our heroes have a feast eating the monster. Meanwhile, Brolli is recovering from the battle against Goku. Upon thinking about Goku, he gets angry and reaches Super Saiyan form.

Android 18 is at Mr. Satan's house demanding for the money Mr. Satan promised to give her for letting him win a Tenkaichi Boukaidou contest. One of Mr. Satan's disciple's minion arrives and blackmails Mr. Satan. He states that if Mr. Satan doesn't go with him to fight (test) some bio-warriors he will tell the press that Mr. Satan wet his bed up to the 6th grade. Android 18 tags along to follow Mr. Satan while Goten and Trunks hide in the trunk of the car to secretly follow.

Goten, Trunks, and Android 18 easily trash the bio-warriors. The battle room opens to reveal a bio-warrior creation laboratory. Goten and Trunks explore and fight the shocking creation of a clone of Brolli. (Kitou-shi of Movie 10 had taken samples of Brolli's blood and sold them to the lab for money. Brolli's DNA was studied and now Brolli was cloned.) Goten and Trunks attempt to do energy blasts to destroy the developing creation, but Brolli awakens too early. Much fighting occurs and chemicals pour over the Brolli clone so that the clone now looks like he's melting. Trunks tricks Brolli into melting into the chemicals. Much of the lab is destroyed and most of the employees of the lab are killed in the chemical spill. At the end Goten, Trunks, Android 18, Krillin, Mr. Satan, and a few scientists escape from the lab. Our heroes observe that water hardens the chemicals that are pouring over the city-island. Goten, Trunks, and Krillin fly up and shot energy blasts at the sea. The sea water splashes over the island and the city is saved. The Brolli clone, now bigger than ever because the chemicals combined with his chemical body, appears out of the sea. After giving everyone a scare, the clone hardens. Goten and Trunks destroy the stiff clone. There is peace again, but Mr. Satan is trying to swim home rather than having to pay Android 18 for rescuing him.

Movie 12: Fusion: Goku and Vegeta

Goku and Paiku-han are fighting in a Tenkaichi Boudoukai contest in heaven. Dai-Kaiou wanted to see who was the strongest dead fighter. Meanwhile, King Yama is sending people to heaven or hell. A teenager is responsible for running the machine that cleanses the souls of those going to hell, but he is too busy dancing to his walkman to notice that the machine is in the danger zone. The machine explodes and the evil escapes. It takes over the teenager's body and the two become a big fat yellow creature, Janenba. Janenba twists the fabric of space for fun. King Yama and his building become trapped in a sphere and all the dead return to Earth.

Dai-Kaiou suspends the tournament and sends Goku and Paiku-han to investigate the problem. The two find King Yama trapped in the sphere. Paiku-han is left to try to free King Yama while Goku goes to fight Janenba. Paiku-han learns that the sphere can only be broken by screaming insults at it, so he does so. Janenba sees Goku and begins to create little replicas of himself to attack Goku for entertainment. Goku becomes angry at Janenba's games and reaches his Super Saiyan 3 form. Janenba is smashed into a glob however, he survives and re-oozes himself into a stronger, more serious purple form. On Earth, the dead are plaguing the people. Gohan and Videl encounter Freeza and all the villains from the previous movies. Gohan quickly kills Freeza and all the other villains run away in fear. Goten and Trunks are elsewhere battling Hitler's giant army brought back to life.

Back in heaven, Goku is getting beaten by Janenba. Vegeta, who was also brought back to life, appears and rescues Goku. He too gets creamed. Goku and Vegeta hide and Goku suggests that the only way to beat Janenba is to fuse. After a while of convincing Vegeta to fuse, Goku teaches Vegeta the technique. The two fuse, but the result was a fat Gogeta because Vegeta accidently bent his pinky during fusion. Gogeta spends his time running away from Janenba, but fisses back into Goku and Vegeta. Paiku-han appears and distracts Janenba while Goku and Vegeta attempt to fuse again. The fusion is perfect and Gogeta easily beats the evil out of Janenba. Janenba is restored into the teenager. On Earth, Goten and Trunks fuse and Gotenks beats all of Hitler's army. All the dead return to heaven or hell.

Movie 13: Exploding Dragon Fist:
If Goku Can't Do It, Who Can?

Long ago, little evil magicians used black magic to bring a statue to life. The evil statue became Hirudegarn. Hirudegarn terrorized the planet and only 2 whistles could control it. Tapion and Minosha, his brother, each played the whistles. Hirudegarn calmed a priest cut the monster into two halves. The top half was absorbed into Tapion's body and the bottom half into Minosha's. Each person was sealed into a box never to be opened so that the monster will never escape and sent away in space. Years later, Hoi, one of the evil magicians, found one of the boxes and opened it. The bottom half of Hirudegarn was let out and killed Minosha. Now, Hoi seeks the other box to re-unleash Hirudegarn...

The Great Saiyan-man team (Gohan and Videl) receive news that a man is about to commit suicide. The team comes to the rescue and the man is brought down. He tells that it was only an attempt to get the team's attention. Then he tells that he wants a box opened because a hero is trapped inside and is needed to fight a great evil. The box is brought to Bulma's house. After no one is able to open the box successfully, the Z cast agree to gather the dragonballs to wish for the box to open. This is done and Tapion is releashed. Tapion says nothing except that he is the evil.

Trunks admires Tapion and wants him to act like his brother. After bringing food to Tapion everyday, Trunks is still ignored by Tapion. One day, Hoi runs in and snatches Tapion's flute. Trunks helps get it back and everyone learns that Hoi is evil. Tapion decides to talk to the others after seeing Trunks help him. At night, Bulma asks him why he's not sleeping and Tapion tells her his story. If he sleeps, the monster inside him might escape.

Bulma builds a special room for Tapion to sleep so that the monster can't escape, but the monster escapes anyway due to Hoi's magic. The next day, the Hirudegarn's lower body combines with his upper body and the monster becomes whole again. Hoi tries to control Hirudegarn, but the monster just steps on and kills him. A battle follows and our heroes are losing. As the city gets trashed, Goten and Trunks fuse. Super Saiyan level 3 Gotenks attacks Hirudegarn. Hirudegarn stiffens like a rock, then a winged Hirudegarn emerges from the cocoon. Tapion attempts to use his whistle to calm the monster, but the whistle shatters. Everyone is beaten, except Goku. Goku repeatedly tells himself, "If I can't do it..." Finally, Goku jumps up and uppercuts his dragon fist on Hirudegarn. A golden dragon engulfs the monster and destroys it.

With Hirudegarn destroyed and peace restored, Bulma makes Tapion a time machine. Tapion gives Trunks's his sword as a gift since he won't be needing it anymore and travels back to the time when he was shot into space. (In the ending song of this movie, we see Future Trunks use the same sword that was given by Tapion.)

DBZ Special: Bardock

Years ago, Freeza took over planet Vegeta and used its inhabitants, the Saiyans, to act as mecenaries to destroy other planets. On one battle Bardock is with his teammates and wipes out another planet, but Tooro, a surviving member of the dying planet, curses Bardock with the ability to see his cursed future. Tooro is killed and Bardock recovers back in the Saiyan planet. Meanwhile, Bardock's son, Kakarot (Goku), is born. In addition, Freeza begins to grow tired of seeing the Saiyans as one of his henchmen avises that the Saiyans can become a threat when banded together. At this time, Vegeta is a kid and has a high energy level for his age. He asks Freeza to send him to another planet to destroy and leaves with Nappa.

As Bardock recovered, his teammates leave to destroy another planet without him. After regaining consciousness, Bardock learns what has happened and leaves to join his teammates. At the planet, all goes normal until Bardock sees his teammates dead. A dying Saiyan is found by Bardock. From him, Bardock learns of Freeza's plot to destroy the Saiyan planet. Next, Bardock encounters some of Freeza's henchmen and fights, but Bardock sees his son growing up in his head and loses concentration. Despite the headache, Bardock manages to defeat all the henchmen except for Dodoria. Dodoria blows a single energy blast and defeats Bardock. Meanwhile, Kakarot is sent to the planet Earth to destroy it when he grows up.

Bardock survives, but is severely injured. Despite this, he travels back to the planet Vegeta to warn the other Saiyans of Freeza's plot. Bardock finds and tells his comrades, but the Saiyans think of the plot as a joke and mock Bardock. Bardock is angry and decides that he must change the future... alone. Freeza's spaceship approaches and Bardock flies toward it in rage. (Meanwhile, Coola's ship flies away on the other side.) Hundreds of Freeza's henchmen are despatched from his ship and attack Bardock. Bardock defeats those who fly at him. Freeza exits his ship and laughes at Bardock. Bardock does his final energy blast in an attempt to destroy Freeza and alter the fate of his planet. Freeza laughes some more and easily creates a super energy ball (it's kind of yellow orange and is the same move cyborg Freeza threw at future Trunks.) His energy ball overwhelms Bardock's energy blast and continues flying towards the Saiyan planet. Bardock, the planet Vegeta, and all in its path (including Freeza's henchmen who were sent to destroy Bardock) are destroyed. Bardock sees the future one last time before he dies. He sees his planet get destroyed... He sees his son growing up... And he sees a grown up Kakarot encounter Freeza... And dies a happy death...

Vegeta and Nappa were at another planet at the time, so they survive. They are told that their planet was hit by a meteor and destroyed, but Vegeta gives no signs of concern. Kakarot's two other brothers (Raditz and Taurus) were also elsewhere and survive. As for Kakarot, he lands on planet Earth and is found by Son Gohan. Son Gohan adopts Kakarot and names his new grandson Goku thus, with all of this begins the magnificient story of Dragonball.

DBZ Special: The History of Trunks

Everyone is at Goku's place and Goku dies form a heart disease. Gohan arrvies only to see his dead father in his death bed. Trunks is only a baby at this time.

6 months later, the Androids are released and mayhem is set upon a city. No one can stop the Androids and so the Androids look for fun. The Androids then kill Vegeta and all of the Z fighters except Gohan. Later, Trunks is shown with Bulma in a car and the radio news report that a city is under attack. Trunks flies out of the car only to find a destroyed city with no people. When Trunks arrives home he finds Gohan and asks him to train him, but not tell his mom. Bulma cooks while Gohan and Trunks eat and Bulma tells Gohan that there has been rumors about him fighting the Androids. Gohan tells Bulma that the rumors are true. (The reason why Gohan was only able to fight the Androids and not kill them was that Gohan didn't go Super Saiyan until he was enraged with anger by the Androids killing everyone. Gohan never went to the hyperbolic time chamber because he never knew anything about it. None of the other things happened and he never went Super Saiyan 2.)

Gohan and Trunks later train somewhere outside of the city. Gohan is amazed to see that Trunks is far stronger than he thought at first. Another city is being destroyed and Gohan and Trunks leave for it. Gohan begins to make it with the Androids some until Trunks encounters Android 18. She beats up on Trunks and Gohan saves him. The Androids fire at Gohan, but Gohan gets away and hides. The Androids cannot find Gohan and so they make pod shots. This destroys everything and causes Gohan to lose an arm. Gohan then finds one senzu bean and gives it to Trunks instead of himself. Trunks carries Gohan to his place. Bulma helps Gohan recover.

Gohan and Trunks later train again and find a city under attack. Gohan prepares to go, but Trunks wants to go too. Trunks prpares to fly, but Gohan knocks him out. Gohan fights the Androids and begins to win somewhat. They all stop and then it begins to rain. The fight then continues after the short break. Gohan then gets teamed up and the Androids are to much and Gohan is killed by the Androids blasts. Trunks later awakens and goes to the destroyed city. He finds the dead Gohan and is enraged with anger. Trunks then goes Super Saiyan.

Years later Bulma tells Trunks about her new time machine, but Trunks leaves to fight the Androids. Trunks is no where close to a match for the Androids and is deafeated. Trunks is later knocked out. Trunks then wakes up in bed and decides to use the new time machine, "HOPE".

The credits show some clips of Trunks fighting Freeza in the future.
