Dragon Ball

- Season 5

(2002)

The start of the "Commander Red Saga". Goku sets out to find the next dragon ball on his radar. Captain Yellow of the Red Ribbon Army has already found it inside an active volcano. When he tries to retrieve it the volcano erupts, launching the dragon ball into the forest, where it is found by the protector of the land. This puts him at odds with Captain Yellow, who goes to retrieve it.

Mercenary Tao is hired to kill Goku and retrieve the dragon balls. Meanwhile, Bora tells Goku about the legend of Korin Tower.

Mercenary Tao easily defeats Goku and takes the dragon balls. Goku pledges to climb Korin Tower so that he can become stronger and defeat Tao, allowing him to assemble the dragon balls and wish Bora back to life.

Goku reaches the top of Korin Tower. He meets Korin, the mysterious cat who guards the tower, and he attempts to drink the sacred water.

Goku tries time and again to take the sacred water from Korin.

Goku descends Korin Tower and fights Tao, who has returned to kill him and take the other dragon ball.

Having been defeated by Goku, Tao climbs Korin Tower and drinks the sacred water. He then descends the tower to fight Goku yet again.

Colonel Violet finds another dragon ball for the Red Ribbon Army, and Goku flies to the army's headquarters to launch a one-man-assault and take their dragon balls. When Bulma and the others discover Goku's plan they call Yamcha to pick them up, hoping that they can reach the Red Ribbon stronghold in time to help him.

Yamcha and the others pick up Krillin, who is swimming in the sea. Meanwhile, Goku launches his assault on the Red Ribbon Army.

Goku continues his assault on the Red Ribbon Army while Commander Red and Staff Officer Black argue over protocol. Finally, Goku goes head to head with Black and Red. Meanwhile, Yamcha and the others continue toward the Red Ribbon stronghold.
