Dragonball Z is an awesome action packed cartoon series. 1 of many great animated shows all put together in a catagory know as ANIME. DBZ is actually part of a 3 part series it's self. You have Dragonball(DB), Dragonball Z(DBZ), and then you have Dragonball Grand Tour(DBGT). I haven't seen very much of DB or DBGT but I know they are just as good as DBZ. Now with DBZ, the whole story revolves around a group of Earth warriors (they protect the earth from harm), known as the Z Fighters. (DBZ...*Z Fighters*...get it?) Goku is the main character basically. He is a saiyan and his sayain name is "Kakarot." The only people who know him as kakarot are the rest of the living sayans. The rest of the characters, Gohan (1st son of Goku), Krillin, Chiaotzu, Yamcha, Yajirobe, and the nemekian known as Piccolo, are all Z fighters. Well as the story unfolds they encounter a large amount of enimies and meet new friends along the way as well. They struggle together to protect the earth from evil characters like Freeza who you will learn about in the character Bios section of the site. Many battles are fought, many charters die, but it is all a reason why DBZ is so cool. It's a great ANIME that you should see if you havn't already. Now that you know what DBZ is GET INTO IT!
