What is DragonBall Z

Dragon Ball ZA popular anime/manga series created by Akira Toriyama. Dragon Ball Z is the continuation of Dragon Ball. Goku, a powerful monkey being, who is now a young adult, is now married to a woman named Chi Chi (who he met in Dragon Ball as he was told by the Ox King, a gigantic man, to find). They have a son named Gohan. Gohan is only a toddler in the series and is a wimpy, cry-baby boy, not anything like Goku and since Chi Chi is forcing him to study, Goku can't train him.
Goku and Gohan go to Roshi's (Goku's master while he was a child) 'Kame/Turtle' House. They also see Goku's friends, sassy girl Bulma and short boy Krillin, now older and wiser like him. As they are reuniting, a powerful being named Raditz interrupts this short reunion and states he is searching for Goku. Raditz claims Goku is his younger brother and also that Goku is a 'Saiyan', a race of monkey-tailed warriors who are the ultimate beings in the universe, because in the moonlight, they can morph into demon apes. Goku refuses and Raditz easily pummels the strongest warrior into the water, already seeing Goku useless as his tail was cut off in Dragon Ball. The being steals Gohan and tells Goku to anhilate 100 humans and show them to him. Only then will he get his son back. Will Goku be so desperate, he'll kill his own friends? And what will happen to Gohan while he is with his diabolical uncle, Raditz?
