What is Dragon Ball Z about?
Dragon Ball Z is an animated series that follows Goku, a powerful being living on Earth who discovers that he is actually a Saiyan, a race of warriors, which explains Goku’s impressive strength. But because of his true heritage, Goku is sought out by many other powerful beings, including his long-lost brother Raditz, another Saiyan called Vegeta, as well as plenty of bad guys, including the likes of Frieza, Garlic Jr, the Red Ribbon Army, Cell and Buu, all of whom are hellbent on destroying Goku, Earth, or both. It’s a show that centres around hand-to-hand combat, people shooting energy blasts from their hands, transforming into giant monkeys, workout out, yelling and the traditional power of friendship spiel that’s big in the anime scene. Oh, and all the while Goku and his friends are searching for the Dragon Balls, mysterious artefacts that when collected, summon a giant dragon that grants you wishes. It’s a helluva ride, and one that is most definitely worth it.
