Plot

Prologue

The Shadow Dragons return after they had been defeated years ago thanks to the Dragon Balls still existing and thus still possessing negative energy. They immediately turn into Omega Shenron who begins gathering minus energy, and warps time and space - mixing the past and the future together. Supreme Kai and Kibito (Kibito Kai has split at some point after GT), calls Goku to the Sacred World of the Kai and explains this to him, knowing that all of his opponents will re-appear from the past, Goku is anxious to fight Frieza, and says he will recruit Gohan and Vegeta to help. Supreme Kai says that they should work to gather the Ultimate Dragon Balls to seal the minus energy inside them and Goku agrees.

West City

Chi-Chi does not want Goku to have Gohan get involved, as he has become a great scholar who supports his family, but Goku insists that this is for the fate of the galaxy, even so she does not want Gohan to help as their is no paycheck - but Gohan points out that if there is no galaxy, there will be no one left to pay them. Chi-Chi allows Gohan to go help, but only if Goku gets a job once this is over. Goku wants to test Gohan to see if he has slacked, but Gohan states that Pan has been training everyday, and so Gohan has as well. Goku defeats Gohan, who notes that he cannot match him, while Goku notes Gohan has gotten better.

In order to avoid being sensed by the villains, Goku suppresses his ki and uses the Nimbus to fly. Goku heads to Capsule Corp to pick up the Dragon Radar from Bulma. Goku explains the situation to Vegeta, who had noticed something was amiss. Vegeta wishes to fight Goku, and Goku defeats him in the match, with Goku and Vegeta noticing that each other have gotten stronger. Bulma is having trouble finding the Dragon Radar, so she suggests Goku go and meet Krillin and Yamcha in Parsley City. Goku meets them and explains the situation to them as well, Roshi is also present and notes that the peace has lasted longer than usual up until this point. He is happy with how his students turned out and tells them to spar, so they do. Goku suggest they all train at Kai's place but they all decline for different reasons.

Goku finds Vegeta and Trunks training, Trunks notes that he has not done any training since the search for the Black Dragon Balls but that he'll help. Trunks says he'll help protect Capsule Corp, but Vegeta notes that he is so weak that he wouldn't be able to beat Frieza (from the Battle of Namek) or Cell (from the Cell Games) and commands him to train harder. Super Saiyan Trunks trains a bit with Goku and defeats him with just one tenth of his base form's power, which is enough for Trunks to exclaim that Goku is on a whole other level. Vegeta commands Trunks to go and fight Frieza or Cell, but Trunks says it would be impossible for him to beat them.

Goku meets Roshi, who asks if Goku could gather the Dragon Balls in his spare time so Roshi can use them to wish for youth. Goku agrees to this. Gohan arrives, as Chi-Chi had told him to bring Goku his lunch. Roshi wishes to see Gohan's power and asks Goku to spar with him, Goku claims that if Gohan went all out Goku would not be able to beat him, while Gohan claims that he cannot catch up to Goku's power. Roshi notes they are both so modest despite their power. Goku and Gohan fight, with Goku and Gohan prove relatively even. Roshi is happy and believes that there will be peace, and Gohan decides to head home. Bulma calls Goku, telling him Trunks loaned Yajirobe the Dragon Radar. Goku heads to Yajirobe to get the radar and eventually convinces him to give it to him for the sake of the galaxy, Yajirobe also gives Goku a Dragon Ball he found with the radar.

Martial Arts Temple

Goku locates a Dragon Ball at the World Tournament Stage, the announcer notes that Goku left with Uub during the last tournament and asks if he will join this year's tournament, which is about to begin and is a special tag team event. The announcer reveals that the tournament's prize is the Dragon Ball Goku is looking for so Goku joins in. Goku meets Krillin, who is aiming for at least 5th place in the tournament for prize money, he is teamed with Tien - and they plan to use a double Solar Flare strategy to breeze through. Goku and Krillin have a spar to prep for the tournament. The first round is Team Goku vs. Team Piccolo and Jackie Chun. Piccolo has sensed the threat to the world and wishes to evaluate it, he was informed of the details by Shin. Goku wins the first round. The next round is Team Goku vs. Team Trunks and Yamcha, this Trunks in question is actually Future Trunks - who had come to see what was going on in the present world. Future Trunks had arrived looking for the evil ki and Yamcha had come to participate since he knew Krillin was, the two had met and Yamcha requested that Future Trunks tag team with him so they could enter. Goku defeats them and Future Trunks is amazed at how much stronger he is, Yamcha says that Goku should have gone easy on them, but Goku says he would have lost had he done so. Future Trunks says he will stick around in the present to help with the current threat. There is then a 30 minute break in the tournament.

During the break Goku meets Launch, who had followed Tien there. Goku tells her she should stop by the Kame House some time to meet Roshi. The tournament then continues and Team Goku faces off against Team Krillin and Tien. Goku wonders why Tien is not paired with Chiaotzu, who tells Goku he paired with someone else. Tien is surprised as he thought he would never see Goku again. Goku manages to defeat the duo.

The final round begins, with it being Team Goku vs. Team Gotenks and Chaiaotzu, Goku is confused as to why Gotenks is both fused and is a kid again, Gotenks explains that since Goten and Trunks had not fused in so long it somehow caused them to end up in child form when they fused. Goku wins, and notes that he thinks Gotenks ending up as a kid when they fused could have something to do with the minus energy, and Gotenks says he will ask Piccolo later, noting that it was fun to be a kid again. Goku is congratulated for winning and is given the Dragon Ball.

Land of Korin

Goku finds that there are two Dragon Balls at the Land of Korin and heads there, encountering Dr. Gero, who has 19 with him. General Blue appears, having collected Android 18 for Gero, Gero reveals that he made a new control device to take control of 18. Blue recognizes Goku and says he has become quite a young man. Gero initiates Plan B and Goku faces off against 18 and Blue and beats them. Gero cancels Plan B and reveals Super 17, who he has re-created again. Goku fights Super 17 when suddenly Android 8 shows up and reveals that he has destroyed the machines Gero used to control the other androids thus freeing 17 and 18 from his control. With the mind control undone, Super 17 rejects Hell Fighter 17 and turns back into ordinary 17. 17 and 18 tell Goku to leave this to them, as they will finish the Red Ribbon Army once and for all. During the battle he also fought machine versions of Raditz and Nappa too.

Goku then heads to obtain a spaceship to go to Namek, he asks Briefs to make him one and Briefs gets to work on it, the spaceship now advanced enough to get Goku to Namek in a single day. Goku heads off to get missing parts. Goku meets Vegeta while getting parts and the two have a quick spar. Goku collects all the parts and meets Trunks - who tells Goku that when reading Gero's notes he found the Machine Mutant Plan - which uses a machine that can use data to create virtual versions of past enemies. Goku reveals that he knew this, as he had just fought Gero. Trunks states that he has built the machine for use, Goku says to tell Vegeta, as Vegeta wanted a machine like that, and Goku tests it out for Trunks, fighting a copy of Kid Trunks. Trunks says the test went well and gave him a lot of data, he wishes he could get Supreme Kai's data and finds that he has Gohan's data from when he trained with Supreme Kai. He uses the machine to generate a virtual Ultimate Gohan, who fights Goku. Goku fights him and notes that the Gohan from back then is stronger than the modern day Gohan. Trunks heads off to improve the machine. Goku heads to Namek and is contacted by King Kai - who tells him that Goku should ask the elder abiut the Legendary Saiyan - and also that there are two Ultimate Dragon Balls on Namek. He tells Goku to be careful as Frieza and his forces have appeared on Namek. Goku says he will be easily able to beat Frieza now, but King Kai says that the minus energy has powered him and the other villains up. King Kai has Gotenks and Piccolo fight Goku to see if Goku is strong enough to fight Powered-up Frieza. After the battle King Kai is unsure if Goku could defeat Frieza, Goku meets Krillin and 18 - who is upset about Gero controlling her - King Kai requests they fight Goku too so they do. For a final test round, Goku has to fight against Gohan (who King Kai says is strong enough to force Goku to use full power) who combats his father using his Super Saiyan form. King Kai then gives Goku new clothes that are superior to his old ones. Gohan asks if he should come to Namek, but Goku tells him to stay and protect Earth. Gohan notes that he can feel the evil Majin Buu's presence faintly and decides to stay on his guard. Goku then heads to Namek.
