Dragon Ball Z Episode 20: Goku’s Ancestors


Goku celebrates catching Bubbles and says he is ready for the next level of training.  King Kai yells at the top of his lunges which summons another creature named Gregory, or as Goku calls him “little Grasshopper man”.  Goku’s next test is to hot Gregory with a giant (and very heavy) hammer.  The problem is Goku can barely lift it and Gregory is extremely fast.  Gregory knocks Goku over multiple times before Goku can even do anything.  King Kai says to himself that he has never given anyone a hammer as heavy as this one.

Back on Earth, Piccolo continues to brutally train Gohan while the rest of the Z fighters train at Kami’s Lookout.  On King Kai’s planet it’s time for a lunch break…and a history lesson on the Saiyans.  King Kai tells Goku that the planet Vegeta once had two races of people.  The Saiyans were a primitive and violent people, while the other race was smaller and technologically superior.  The races fought for a long time (it started when the Saiyans attacked first) with neither side coming out ahead until the Saiyans saw the fullmoon and turned into giant apes (which only happens every 8 years on Vegeta).  This event won the war for the Saiyans.

The Saiyans then teamed up with another alien race because they had spaceships, which allowed them to leave the planet in exchange for conquering other worlds for the aliens.  King Kai says that just like on Earth, the planet Vegeta had a guardian and he had seen enough.  He called down a meteor shower and destroyed the planet because the Saiyans were so evil.  Knowing how evil the Saiyan are motivates Goku to keep training hard.  Kami sends the Z fighters back to Earth, having completed their training.

Goku once again uses his brains and hits Gregory (very lightly) with his hammer.  King Kai then tells Goku about a technique called kaio-ken and says no one has been able to master it.  Master Roshi asks his sister about the future and she says as it stands now, the Earth has no future.  The Saiyans pass by Jupiter.  Things are looking grim, the Saiyans are almost here, can our heroes rise to the occasion?  We shall see!
