Worse still, those killed by the Demon King do not go to the afterlife, instead spending eternity trapped in limbo. Korin has an answer for this though, and tells Goku that Kami, who resides in the sky above Korin Tower created the Dragon Balls and is the only one who can bring back the Dragon. When Goku asks how he can get up there, Korin replies that Goku's Power Pole, which has been missing since his battle with the Demon King, is designed to extend from the top of Korin Tower up to Kami's Lookout.Goku quickly goes back to the site of his battle with King Piccolo and, not finding his pole there, then heads off to the Fortuneteller Baba who tells him that his staff is at the Kame House.Retrieving his staff and then returning to Korin Tower, Korin shows Goku where to place his pole and gives him a little bell to show Kami that he is the "chosen one" sent by Korin. Goku then commences to extend his pole, with him on it, up to Kami's Lookout.The pole extends upwards, and Goku has a rather harrowing experience, as he is repeatedly struck by lightning until it comes to an end once it connected to the lookout. Goku quickly climbs to the top and meets a person who introduces himself as Mr. Popo, Kami's servant. Upon seeing his bell, Mr. Popo tells Goku that he is eligible to be tested, and must defeat Mr. Popo in a fight. An uncharacteristically-cocky Goku starts the fight carefree, believing that he is worlds above Mr. Popo, but it is soon shown that Popo is far stronger than he appears; no matter what Goku does, he cannot touch Mr. Popo.Though Goku seemingly failed the test, he asks to stay and train himself to try again. Mr. Popo agrees and starts to give him lessons on controlling his movements, speed and sensing his opponents' actions. Goku vows to do whatever it takes to get his friends out of limbo, and Kami interrupts, saying that he will see Goku.As Kami comes into view, Goku mistakes him for King Piccolo and angrily attacks him, only to be knocked aside. After noting that he should have known that Korin would not explain because Korin thinks he is funny, Kami tells Goku that he and King Piccolo were once a single entity, but Kami split his essence in two in order to obtain the post of the Earth's Guardian. As a reward for Goku's valiant efforts against Piccolo, Kami agrees to recreate Shenron so that Goku's friends can be resurrected, but only under the condition that Goku stay on the lookout for three years in order to train and be ready to confront King Piccolo's offspring at the next World Martial Arts Tournament.After three years, Goku, now eighteen years old, meets up with his friends at the Tournament. Though they do not recognize him at first, Goku removes the turban that he is currently wearing to reveal his trademark hairstyle, but it is only after he notices Bulma wearing lipstick and asks her if she is bleeding that they are convinced that it is him. Soon afterwards, Krillin, Tien, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu arrive, and Krillin emotionally thanks Goku for what he did for him. When the group notices that Goku's tail is missing, Goku mentions that Kami had it permanently removed in order to restore the moon. Goku then briefly meets Piccolo Jr. and a mysterious young woman who is angry because Goku does not recognize her. Goku and Tien unanimously decide not to tell the others that Piccolo's spawn is at the tournament.After the Tourament is over, including the battle between Goku and Piccolo Jr. a 5-episode mini-saga occurs which details his adventures with Chi-Chi up to their weddingthis mini-saga, Goku and Chi-Chi are about to get married, when Ox King's palace catches on flames. Desperate to save the wedding dress, Ox-King remains trapped in the burning castle, while Goku and Chi-Chi go off to see Master Roshi to see how they can put out the immense fire. Turtle tells them to seek the Fire Eater or the Bansho Fan. Goku and Chi-Chi find the Fire Eater, but run off to find the Bansho Fan when Emperor Pilaf and his goons interfere again. Chi-Chi meets a crazy woman who reveals she has the Bansho Fan. The two go off with the fan, but Goku can not make it stop the flames. Fortuneteller Baba reveals it is so because the flames were caused from a leak in the Furnace. So, Chi-Chi and Goku go off to the boundary of the living world, and meet the guardian of the Furnace, Annin along with Grandpa Gohan (who is dead). Goku, almost dead, is able to repair the Furnace leak, and the fire stops. Goku and Chi-Chi have their wedding, which ends Dragon Ball.Fortuneteller Baba looks into the future of Goku, and winks. This leads to the events of the Vegeta Saga on Dragon Ball Z five years later.(Overall)The Piccolo Jr. Saga is not quite my favourite Saga, but, it has alot of memorable, epic and meaningful moments in it. The training endured by Goku taught by Mr. Popo was a great part of the series, since Mr. Popo has one of the funniest, and unique personalities/appearances in the entire show, whilst attempting to train Goku to be strong enough to beat Piccolo Jr. in the Tournament, easily one of my favourite characters. The fight between Tien Shinhan and Mercenary Tao is pretty epic and meaningful to watch since Tao was one of Tien's defence-fighting instructors when Tien was a kid, and Tao was brutal towards Tien when he was a kid, so, to see the 2 at each other's necks (even though Tien tries to show respect for Tao) is a good part of the season. To me though, this season contains the best fight in the entire Dragon Ball series (tied with the Tien Shinhan and Goku fight in Season 4), that's the fight between Goku and Piccolo Jr.The fight lasts multiple episodes, but it never feels drawn out because the fight is so intense and meaningful (due to the fact that if Goku loses, everybody on Earth would most likely either become destroyed or enslaved by Piccolo Jr). At the end of this Saga, Goku does something for Piccolo which makes Piccolo (deep down) have a respect for Goku, which is one of the reasons Goku and Piccolo join a truce in Dragon Ball Z (in order to try and defeat the Saiyans) and this to me is quite impactful, and is what develops Piccolo into becoming one of the best characters in Dragon Ball history.The Mini Saga was abit boring at times, and seemed quite pointless (as you'll understand when you watch it). I didn't really like any of the 5 episodes contained within this mini saga, as they all seemed quite drawn out. The only episodes I liked were the final 2 episodes, which is where Goku and Chi-Chi enter the Dark World and meet Goku's Grandfather, Gohan for a second time. The ending of this Saga is pretty much how a perfect story-line ends (when in preperation for a sequal), so I can not complain.This Series has brought me alot of joy, laughter and entertaining moments, and to see this show come to an end is perfectly fine by me (considering Dragon Ball Z is in existence). Either way, I will definitely rewatch this show multiple times in the future, the the adventure of Yound/Teen Goku is always there to be witnessed and enjoyed by me a countless amount of times.THE END.This Season: 9.8/10The Entire Show: 10/10

A really great set but drags in certain parts thanks to filler,Gokus training is a little hit and miss and the last few episodes are very skipable,they are OK Just very anti-climatic after the tournament. It has an option for the Japanese audio which is cool and the content of the show is uncensored, I was really taken aback at just how bloody Gokus fight with Piccolo was. Blood was gushing everywhere and the fight is very violent by the second half, I would have loved that as a kid but if your a parent you might not want your kid watching it (they would love it tho). The voice acting again is not amazing, Young Piccolo is the worst culprit, The box is much better then the season 4 set with each disk getting its own slot and not crammed on top of each other, I had a good few instances of the disks freezing but that is probably my laptops fault. Great show and really interesting if you have only seen Dragonball Z espicially considering how diabolical Piccolo acts in this with his world domination plans.

If you’re looking at this, you’ve probably already decided to get it. Go ahead!

New condition and works as expected

Excellent service from seller.Been looking forward to watching this series again since I first watched it on cartoon network.Did not disappoint.

Love dragon ball, it’s just a shame that the final season I purchased has bottom piece of plastic broken off which closes the case.

Excellent product put delivery was late

Must own.
