Dragon Ball Z and G.T
Even though Toriyama continued to call the Manga Dragon Ball, the anime that was spawned from the succeeding chapters was named Dragon Ball Z.
Goku, now with son named, Gohan, still lived the life of an obsessed martial arts praticioner. Viewers were introduced to four major villains in the series: Vegeta, Freeza , Cell and Majin Buu, each one was more powerful and uglier than the previous. The concept of a Super Saiyajin, the one with a blond hair and a blazing yellow aura, was introduced during the fight with Freeza.
Vegeta and Bulma got together and actually had a son, a purple - haired boy named
Trunks
. And two super saiyajins could fuse to create even more powerful beings : Goku and Vegeta could fuse into Vegetto or Gogetta while Trunks and Gotten ( Goku's second son ) could fuse into Gotenks.
Toriyama's manga ended a long time ago, but TOEI Animation, the company behind the anime, bought the rights and made an offshot series called : Dragon Ball G.T ( Grand Tour ) where Goku is turned into a child again through the wish of Pilaf.
Goku searches for the Dragonballs not just on Earth, but across the universe and he must do it before the Earth is destroyed.
