OPENING
This is about The Saiyan Saga, of the DragonBall Z franchise. There are loads of battles and loads of characters in this saga, and ill talk about it all further in the review, In the end ill review all of the saga's and then ill be known as the DBZ Guy lol! Ill also be doing stuff about DragonBall GT (the second series). I watch this on Toonami on ntl satalite on channel 903.

WHAT ARE SAIYANS?
The Saiyans are a different race, they look like humans but they have some advantages. Like true Saiyans hair does not grow, and when the moon is full, if they look at it, they go Oozaro and turn into a giant ape monster. If you want more info on the Saiyans, check out my Bardok review, that will give you all the info you need. Goku (the main character) is a Saiyan, and he is very powerful. There is a legend that when you get powerful enough, you will turn into a Super Saiyan. When your hair turns gold and your power goes past the limit.

STORYLINE
The storyline is, first off, there is a Saiyan called Raditz, Goku's so called older brother, oh and saiyans also have a tail. Raditz comes to recruit Goku, but Goku refuses, so then Raditz takes Goku's son Gohan instead. The storyline is Goku trying to get him back. But Goku dies in the process, but he trains with the legendary King Kai (the king of the north quadrent of the universe). Goku learns this skill called Kao Ken, which is a transformation Goku can do, it makes his power level higher. Power level is like how strong you are, the higher it is, the powerfuller you are. Piccolo (a green Namek from Namek which is a different planet) helps Goku beat Raditz, but Piccolo survives.

The second part of the storyline is to protect the world from two evil saiyans calld Vegeta and Nappa. Goku and earth special forces have to stop them from destroying the earth. Vegata and Nappa's intensions is to come to Earth and collect the 7 dragonballs (i will talk about these further in the review) so they can make a wish for immortality. But Goku dont like the sound of that, and he stops them :).

DRAGONBALLS
The Dragonballs are 7 magical spheres that when they all are collected, you can make a wish within the dragons power, there is a command you have to say like, *Dragon I summon you* well that type of thing. If Piccolo or Kami (Nameks that use to be one, but they got too evil so they seperated) dies, then the dragonballs will be destroyed, as they are the guardians of earth and they made the dragonballs for this planet. Nameks have the power to create the dragonballs, like the dragonballs on Namek, they are much bigger, and you can make 3 wishes, but they are not as powerful as the ones on Earth,

HISTORY
Goku is a Saiyan, that became an Earthling as when he was a young boy he was sent to Earth, so when he was older he would take over it, but he bumps his head and he thinks that he is an Earthling. His so called Granpa, called Granpa, was is master, who tought him how to fight and to be polite to others and all that stuff. Saiyans are a race of battle, in the past this evil creature called Freeza (this really powerful person whos pink lol!) owned the saiyans, and he sent them to take over the universe. And Goku's father... Bardok could see into the future, and saw Freeza destroying the Planet Vegeta (the Saiyans planet) so he tried to stop him, but Freeza destroyed him and planet Vegeta.
