Dragon Ball: Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!! 2008

Mr. Satan's banquet invitation

Two years after Majin Buu's defeat, Mr. Satan hosts a banquet at his new hotel to celebrate what many Earth citizens believe was his victory over Evil Buu. He invites Goku, Vegeta, and their families to attend the feast. A gnawing guilt lingers over Satan as he worries the world credits him with a triumph he did not fully earn.

Saiyan visitors arrive

As the dinner progresses, two Saiyan spaceships descend outside the hotel and a mysterious Saiyan with his wife confronts the heroes. The mood shifts from celebration to tension as the unexpected visitors demand attention. The guests steel themselves for an impending confrontation.

Tarble reveals his identity

Tarble steps forward and declares himself Vegeta's younger brother. He explains that their father King Vegeta considered him weak and exiled him before Planet Vegeta was destroyed by Frieza.

Gure is introduced

Tarble's wife Gure accompanies him, described as a small, alien humanoid. The couple's presence signals that the gathering has attracted a new family and a new set of stakes.

Tarble asks for help

Tarble requests help against Abo and Kado, remnants of Frieza's army wreaking havoc on his world. He explains that Earth’s heroes are the last line of defense. The request sets the stage for the forthcoming confrontation.

Radish ritual to choose fighters

As Abo and Kado arrive on Earth, the heroes pluck radishes from Goku's garden to determine who will fight them. Goten selects the longest radish, while Trunks, under his father's pressure, chooses one that seems to stretch for miles. The ritual blends lighthearted humor with high-stakes anticipation.

Goten and Trunks enter the fray

Goten and Trunks step into the battle and quickly overwhelm Abo and Kado at first. The soldiers counter by duplicating themselves, creating doubles that complicate the fight. With encouragement from Gohan, the young fighters adapt and maintain the upper hand.

Abo and Kado merge into Aka

Abo and Kado fuse into a larger, more powerful form named Aka, dramatically raising the threat level. Aka dominates the kids with brutal attacks and clearly outmatches them at the outset. The transformation signals a pivotal turning point in the battle.

Gotenks is formed

Goten and Trunks perform the Fusion Dance, failing on their first attempt but succeeding on the second to become Gotenks. Gotenks arrives just in time to turn the tide against Aka. The fused warrior swiftly demonstrates his power in the escalating showdown.

Aka's counterattack and Piccolo blocks

Aka taunts Gotenks and launches another assault, but Piccolo steps in to block the attack and protect the hotel. The young fusion fights on, holding off the threat long enough for the others to regroup. The battle continues toward a decisive moment.

Goku defeats Aka with a trick

Goku arrives and joins the effort to end Aka, but he tricks Vegeta into looking away so he can deliver a decisive Kamehameha. The ruse succeeds, and Aka is defeated, ending the immediate threat. The hotel and its guests begin to recover from the chaos.

Restoration and feast

With the danger over, everyone returns to what remains of the hotel and resumes the banquet. Abo and Kado join the feast, unexpectedly sharing in the celebration. The mood shifts from battle to festive recovery as the guests make peace with the night’s events.
