Background

Son Goku is the main protagonist of Dragon Ball. Born on Planet Vegeta, he is sent to Earth for protection from the impending destruction of his home planet. After being found by an old martial artist named Son Gohan, he is trained in martial arts himself. Throughout the years, he has defended the Earth and his universe from countless threats.

Following the destruction of Majin Buu, peace and prosperity remained on Planet Earth for fifteen long years. In that time, Goku has taken up the reincarnation of Majin Buu, Uub, as his protégé, with the two training vigorously. In that time, however, the Pilaf Gang gathered up a set of Dragon Balls, and used it to wish for Goku to be reverted into his childlike body, from the beginning of the series.

These Dragon Balls turned out to be the Black Star Dragon Balls, however, and dispersed across the universe, warning that the Earth would be destroyed if they were not collected. The now-physically 12 year old Goku, alongside Trunks, and his granddaughter Pan, travelled through space to find them.

This sparked a large journey that would last over a year, involving several dangerous battles against two characters that seeked revenge on Goku for one reason or another; Baby and Dr. Myuu of the Tuffle race, who sought revenge on the Saiyans, and Super 17 alongside Dr. Gero who sought revenge as part of the Red Ribbon Army.

All of these battles culminated in the original Earth Dragon Balls cracking after overuse, and releasing a massive buildup of Minus Energy. This Minus Energy took the form of powerful Shadow Dragons, the leader of whom, Omega Shenron, threatened the entire universe. After a hard-fought battle, Goku defeated the Shadow Dragon. The Saiyan absorbed the Dragon Balls into himself, said goodbye to his family, and rode off on Shenron’s back.

Nearly a century later, Goku finally reappeared on Earth, and presented it with the Dragon Balls once again, now free of their Minus Energy and dispersed across the planet. After meeting his descendant, Goku Jr., Goku proudly vanished from his homeworld once more.
