Plot

The series continues the adventures of Earth's hero Son Goku, who is turned back into a child by the Black-Star Dragon Balls and is forced to travel across the universe to retrieve them. While in space, he encounter the evil artificial Tuffle, Baby, who intends to destroy the Saiyan race. Goku fights him and is defeated, but after having his tail regenerated, acheives the level of Super Saiyan 4, and destroys Baby, propelling him into the sun with a Kamehameha.

After Baby's defeat, Dr. Myuu, a combination of machine and human, creates a replica of Android 17 and has it fuse with the original Android 17, creating Super 17. Super 17 at first seems impervious to Goku's attacks, but when Android 18 attacks him for killing Krillin, Goku takes advantage of the distraction to penetrate through Super 17 with his Dragon Fist technique, then fires a Kamehameha through the wound.

Due to overuse of the Dragon Balls, seven Evil Dragons are then created. All but the most powerful, Syn Shenron, are defeated. Shenron appears to be losing until he absorbs the Dragon Balls - he then gains more power, becoming Omega Shenron, and overwhelms Goku. Goku is about to sacrifice himself to destroy the evil dragon, but then Vegeta turns up in Super Saiyan 4 form, thanks to Bulma's new device, the Blutz Wave Generator. Goku and Vegeta fuse, creating Gogeta, who uses his immense power to taunt Omega Shenron. However, their fusion then ends and Goku loses Super Saiyan 4 form. Eventually, using the energy of every living being in the universe, Goku makes a Spirit Bomb powerful enough to destory Omega Shenron.
