Dragon Ball Z picks up five years after Son Goku's wedding. Radditz, a mysterious warrior from space, arrives on Earth to find Goku, who then learns that he comes from a planet of warriors of which only four survivors remain. The plot revolves around a succession of increasingly powerful adversaries to fight, but there is also often a quest or journey element that adds interest beyond simple duels.
The series became a global phenomenon, generating massive sales of merchandise and being considered one of the most influential anime franchises of all time.
Chiho Kiyooka (YU YU HAKUSHO), Takeshi Ike (TRANSFORMERS) and Keiju Ishikawa (GODZILLA) collaborated on the iconic music for the animated series.
