Goku visits the Kame House, where the Turtle Hermit and Kuririn have been living, for the first time in five years. As all of them are enjoying their reunion, a warrior lands before them, and addresses Goku as "Kakarrot." The man, who has a tail, just as Goku did as a child, identifies himself as "Raditz," and declares that he is a Saiyan, the mightiest race of warriors in the universe, as well as Goku's older brother. He then orders Goku to join forces with him.
