A defeated Nail reveals to Frieza his subtle plot, to stall him long enough for the Earthlings to summon Porunga, the Namekian Dragon! Finding his confidence in the Ginyu Force misguided, a frustrated Frieza races to stop Krillin and Gohan from executing their wishes. But with Dende revealing the password, can Frieza stop the Earthling?

Gohan and Krillin summon Porunga, the Namekian Dragon, to make their wishes. But to their disappointment they discover that only one person can be returned for each wish. Without sufficient wishes to return all four people, Krillin and Gohan resort to the next best thing. They restore Piccolo, thereby reinstating Kame and the Dragon Balls on Earth! But an enraged Vegeta arrives before the last wish is cast. Will his arrival ruin their plans?

Frieza is furious when he discovers the Namekian Dragon Balls are gone, and launches into battle with Vegeta. Elsewhere, with Porunga’s help, Piccolo arrives on the planet Namek only to discover a badly injured Nail. Even though Nail can’t continue to fight in his own body, he can continue to fight by combining with Piccolo in a Namekian fusion technique! Will Piccolo, now united with Nail, arrive on the battlefield in time to stop Frieza’s diabolical plans to destroy all the inhabitants of Namek?

Frieza's dark past is explained as his destruction of the Saiyan home planet is revealed. But Frieza also has other hideous secrets more relevant to the warriors from Earth, such as the power to transform! In this new transformed state is his power level really over 1,000,000? As Gohan and Krillin face off against this barbarous creature, Krillin makes the ultimate sacrifice and falls prey to Frieza's vicious onslaught. Is this the end of Krillin and all the Earth's hope?

Gohan is seriously wounded in his grapple with Frieza. But a renewed Krillin jumps back in the fray and resumes his war on Frieza.

Will the combined efforts of Vegeta, Gohan, Krillin, and Piccolo be enough to stop Frieza's reign of terror?

Piccolo, unioned with Nail, launches into an all out brawl with Frieza. As the battle wages it appears Piccolo has finally gained the upper hand. But Frieza isn't done yet!

The united powers of Nail and Piccolo continue to struggle against the almighty Frieza. For a brief moment it seems the Namekian duo could be victorious, but Frieza soon sets everyone straight with a second transformation! With new speed and strength, Frieza gives Piccolo a ruthless beating. Can Gohan and Krillin come to Piccolo's aid? And what clever plan is Vegeta devising?

Desperate to help Piccolo, the enraged Gohan unleashes an attack that nearly topples Frieza. Inspired by Gohan's powerful display, Vegeta reveals his daring plan: he will let Krillin beat him to near death, and force Dende to heal him, as a Saiyan's power increases after healing from a serious injury. Could this tactic finally transform Vegeta into a legendary Super Saiyan? Meanwhile, it seems Frieza has a plan of his own: his final transformation!

Having reached his ultimate form, the evil Frieza begins a merciless assault. To start, he takes out the only one who cannot be healed by Dende: Dende himself! As Frieza's onslaught continues, it becomes clear that Piccolo, Krillin, and Gohan don't stand a chance. Suprisingly, the fully healed Vegeta comes to the rescue, wanting to fight Frieza single-handedly! Are Vegeta's claims true? Is he really a Super Saiyan?

Despite his new powers, Vegeta proves to be no match for the all-powerful Frieza.

To prove his superiority, Frieza vows to beat Goku without using his hands. But after a few painful lessons, the mighty Saiyan has Frieza eating his words. Elsewhere on Namek, Captain Ginyu manages to pull the ol' switcheroo on Bulma, leaving her trapped in the body of a frog!

Captain Ginyu returns to the battlefield, but this time, in Bulma's body! Can Piccolo, Krillin, and Gohan handle this Femme Fatale? And when Frieza powers up to fifty percent of his maximum, Goku is completely outclassed by the evil supergiant! Without anymore cards up his sleeve, where does Goku go from here?

Goku is in hot water when even his Kaio-Ken attack has no effect on Frieza who is only at fifty percent of his maximum power level! But when it looks like Frieza has dealt the final blow, a dreamlike vision helps Goku to awaken to an even higher level of power and strength!

Once again Goku is rescued from the depths of despair by a vision! This time Vegeta talks to Goku from beyond the grave to offer the ailing Saiyan new hope and encouragement! But when the renewed Goku realizes that the battle against Frieza is futile, he turns to his last resort: the Spirit Bomb!

Enraged by the loss of his friends, Goku suddenly undergoes a wild transformation! What does this mean? Who is the man of gold?

Engulfed in a shimmering aura of golden light, a completely rejuvenated Goku announces that he is now a Super Saiyan! Frieza is curious but unimpressed, until the fighting begins, that is! In a raging battle, Frieza is horrified when he realizes that Goku is now superior to him in every way!

Finding Goku's newfound Super Saiyan strength to be too much for him, Frieza directs his attack at the planet Namek itself! Unable to react in time, Goku is forced to watch helplessly as Frieza's energy blast tears through the heart of the once tranquil planet. Things look bleak for the mighty Saiyan and his friends as the fiery explosion rips through Namek's core! Can anyone survive such incredible destruction?

Back on Earth, the seven Dragon Balls have been collected, and King Kai devises a plan that may save his friends on Namek and put an end to the evil Frieza. But with Namek’s final destruction imminent, can Kame and Popo use the Dragon Balls before it’s too late?

The first stage of King Kai's plan is complete, and all of Frieza's victims have been wished back to life. But while the people of Namek begin to rise again, the mighty Super Saiyan Goku falls as Frieza launches a devastating final assault. Sensing his father's defeat, Gohan rushes to the scene as the universe's last hope against the seemingly invincible Frieza. Can Gohan succeed where Goku failed, or will this be the end of both father and son?

Guru and the people of Namek have been brought back to life, and the dragon Porunga has reappeared to grant the last of three wishes. While a newly enraged Goku resumes his onslaught against the evil Frieza, Dende races to make the final wish of King Kai’s plan. But Frieza has his own wish in mind, and he too speeds toward the dragon! Can anything stand in the way of Frieza finally being granted immortality?

With all of his friends evacuated to the safety of Earth, Goku has chosen to remain on the doomed planet of Namek to finish Frieza once and for all. But Frieza refuses to go down quietly, and it looks as though the mighty Saiyan still has the fight of his life on his hands. And with Namek about to explode, there seems no way for Goku to defeat Frieza and escape from the planet in time! Has Goku made the greatest - and final - mistake of his life?

Time is growing short for Goku, as each passing second brings Namek closer to it's ultimate destruction.

Frieza may be down, but he's not out yet. And even after being sliced into pieces by his own energy disk, the evil tyrant isn't quite ready to release his stranglehold on the universe. Calling upon what little power he has left, a desperate Frieza fires a final energy blast after Goku as he leaves the battlefield. Will the Super Saiyan sense this sneak attack in time?

The Namekian Dragon Balls have followed their guardian Guru all the way back to Earth. And even though it looks like Goku is going to be trapped on the exploding planet Namek, Dende has a good reason to celebrate: the Dragon Balls have the power to bring Goku back! But if that’s the case, why does everyone still look so sad?

It is a time of joyful reunions as old friends long absent are finally wished home with the Dragon Balls. While Krillin and Yamcha are easily brought back from the spirit world, Porunga, the Namekian dragon, reveals that he is unable to restore Goku to life ? because the Super Saiyan isn't dead! But if Goku is still alive, why hasn't he come home?
