Five years have passed since the 23rd
Tenkaichi Budokai. A one-man space pod falls to earth, and a long-haired
alien appears from inside, looking for someone named "Kakarrot."
Elsewhere, Goku and Chichi have a spoiled son, Gohan, and have
been living on Mt. Paoz. Just before a trip to the Turtle Hermit's
island to introduce him to Goku's friends, Gohan cavorts with
a hat-stealing sabre-tooth tiger, falls into a river and unknowingly
demonstrates a remarkable hidden talent before Goku saves him.

The alien encounters Piccolo, homing
in on his strong power signature. Although he had been honing
his skills in order to defeat Goku, Piccolo is overcome with fear
before the terrible power of the alien who suddenly locates
another strong power signature and heads off in that direction.
