7 years have passed since the battle with Cell. Gohan is now a high school student attending Orange Star High School in Satan City. On his way to his first day of school, he comes across a bank robbery in the city and stops it with his Super Saiyan form. As rumors spread about a "Golden-Haired Warrior", Gohan gets to know his new classmate and resident crime fighter,Videl Satan,daughter of Hercule Satan.
After a day of trying not to act suspicious in front of his classmates, Gohan approaches Bulma, who makes him a transformation watch to hide his true identity. Gohan notices that Bulma has adopted a Barefoot lifestyle like his mom. Her feet were very well kept and her toes were painted red. Bulma tells him that she finds it both liberating and comfortable,though both Trunks and Vegeta still don't understand it.
Meanwhile,back at the Son house,Chi-Chi (barefoot) is training for the next (25th) World Martial Arts Tournament. Watching her is Goten,Gohan's younger Brother and the child Goku left Chi-Chi with before The Cell Games. Goten is the Son Goku never knew he had.
Gohan goes on a crime fighting spree as the Great Saiyaman. foiling Bank Robberies,Muggings,and Car Jackings in Satan City. Videl,jealous of Saiyaman's success,swears to find out who he is. One day,while battling a rampaging dinosaur in Satan City,Saiyaman's helmet gets knocked off by the dino's tail. Videl witnesses this. Gohan quickly and immediately puts the helmet back on.
The Next day,at school, Videl confronts Gohan about Saiyaman and blackmails him. To keep the identity secret,Videl wants Gohan to enter the Tournament so she can fight him. She also wants to learn how to be a Super Human. Gohan reluctantly agrees to train her.
As some of the other Z Fighters express interest in the tournament, Goku calls out from the Other World, saying he will return to Earth for a single day to participate.
After Gohan spreads word of the tournament to the others, as well as managing to convince Chi-Chi to let him participate himself, Gohan takes a leave of absence from school and begins training with Goten.
Gohan is surprised to find that Goten not only possesses great strength, but is also already capable of transforming into a Super Saiyan, although he has yet to learn how to fly. Later, Videl comes around to have Gohan make good on his promise to teach her how to fly, with Gohan starting her off with the basics of learning how to control her energy.
Within a day, Videl has managed to learn how to float while Goten has managed to learn how to fly. Following a remark from Gohan, Videl comes back the next day with her hair cut, determined to learn more from Gohan. Meanwhile, Vegeta is also surprised to find that Trunks is also capable of becoming a Super Saiyan, whose strength is slightly higher than Goten's,due to Trunks being older. In Other World, Goku trains fiercely in anticipation for the tournament.
Videl learns how to fight barefoot after Chi Chi convinces her that it's beneficial.
After ten days of training, Videl manages to master flight, finally giving Gohan and Goten the opportunity to resume their training for the tournament. On the day of the tournament, Gohan suggests to Vegeta, Goten, and Trunks that they don't use their Super Saiyan forms during the tournament to avoid hassle from the press.
Arriving at the island where the tournament will take place, Gohan and the others are greeted by Goku, who the fortune teller Baba has granted 24 hours to stay on Earth, allowing him to meet Goten for the first time, while Piccolo destroys all the cameras in the area to keep Gohan's identity a secret. Chi Chi and Videl decide to fight barefoot. Hercule initially objected to his daughter fighting barefoot,but eventually decides to allow it. Chi Chi is wearing a yellow version of Goku's outfit,with purple undershirt,waistband,and wristbands.
After the participating fighters register for the tournament, with Goten and Trunks forced to participate in the junior division, the preliminary rounds begin, where the fighters must hit a punching machine to rank their strength, with the Z-Fighters effortlessly qualifying.
While Gohan and Videl wait to take their preliminaries, Goku, Vegeta, and the others go to spectate the junior division, where Goten and Trunks effortlessly progress through each round until they face each other in the final round.
The battle gets more and more intense, with Goten and Trunks surprising the audience with advanced techniques and even turning Super Saiyan. The match eventually comes to an end where a sneak attack by Trunks causing Goten to lose by ring-out. Hercule Satan, who had spectated the fight,had been reminded of the Gold-haired Warriors from the Cell Games.. He's now hesitant to fight Trunks.
After various attempts to try and get out of the fight, Hercule Satan decides to pretend to lose and have Trunks hold back his attack in order to keep up his public appearance, though even Trunks' weakest punch manages to send Satan flying out of the ring. During an intermission,In order to compete in the adult division,trunks and Goten knock out a masked wrestler called Mighty Mask and steal his uniform.
Meanwhile, as Goku and the others get something to eat, they encounter a pair of mysterious participants, Shin and Kibito.Piccolo senses something strange about them. As the sixteen qualifying participants gather together to decide the drawings for the first round, Krillin is paired up against Pintar,a large arabic-themed warrior.
Gohan is paired up against Kibito while Goku gets paired up against Vegeta.
As the drawings come to a close, Piccolo is put up against Shin,Chi-Chi is up against a black boxer called Killa,and Android 18 is up against Hercule Satan. After Krillin wins his first match against his opponent, Piccolo and Shin face off against each other.
Piccolo,sensing an overwhelming power beyond his own coming from Shin,decides to forfeit the match...before it even begins. As Videl prepares to go up against a man named Spopovitch, Piccolo learns from Kibito that Shin is actually the Supreme Kai,the superior of the Grand Kai.
Note: The Grand Kai is the Master of the 4 Kai's,who Goku met in the Otherworld.
Videl,who's fighting barefoot,appears to get the upper hand in her match, but Spopovitch keeps getting up no matter how many times he is knocked down, and eventually fights back. Goku suspects that something is amiss about Spopovitch. Videl eventually almost knocks the big musclehead out of the Ring,but thanks to his power of flight,he is saved from elimination.
Spopovitch,angry about his near loss,returns to the ring and beats on Videl. Videl attempts to use her flight to regain her strength, but Spopovitch follows her into the air and uses energy blasts against her. As Videl refuses to give up despite the beating she is taking, Goku wonders where Spopovitch got his power from.
Whith Spopovich nearly beating Videl to death, Gohan loses his temper and prepares to storm onto the field, but Spopovich's partner, Yamu, convinces Spopovich to end the fight by pushing Videl out of the ring. With Videl heavily injured, Goku uses his instant transmission to receive some senzu beans from Korin, which Gohan gives to Videl to restore her to full health.
Gohan, whose identity is revealed to his classmates after his bandana was blown off during his outburst, steps up to face against Kibito. Kibito requests to see Gohan's Super Saiyan transformation. After Piccolo informs the other Z-Fighters of Shin's identity as the Supreme Kai, Kibito orders Gohan to transform.
Right after Gohan transforms, Spopovich and Yamu appear and use a device to drain his Super Saiyan energy, leaving him weakened. As Kibito offers to tend to Gohan, the Supreme Kai asks Goku and the others to join him in pursuing the culprits.
To Be Continued.
