Battle grounds
RADDITZ SAGA
Farmer’s Field- The first battle field during Dragon Ball Z
occurs in a farmer’s isolated field. As the unsuspecting man tends
to his chores, a Saiyan Space pod interrupt the quiet afternoon as
it touches down. Radditz emerges and scans the area. The farmer
approaches with his trusted shotgun and is easily killed by the
powerful Saiyan. From here, Radditz travels to the next battle
field, encountering Piccolo as he seeks out his younger brother.
Later, Goku and Piccolo join forces and return to the place that
Radditz’s space pod touched down. Gohan is being held in the pod
and Piccolo and Goku face off against the powerful fighter.
Eventually Radditz is defeated at the hands of Piccolo with some
help from an enraged Gohan. Unfortunately, Goku, who must hold
Radditz in place for Piccolo’s blast, is killed.
Area where Radditz first meets Piccolo- Radditz finds a large
powerlevel on his scouter and follows the readings to a mountain
where he finds Piccolo. Piccolo, always ready for a challenge,
confronts the Saiyan. This battle doesn’t amount to much due to
Radditz locating the larger powerlevel of Goku, his brother.
Roshi’s Island/ Kame House- Unbeknownst to Goku and the
friends he is visiting at Kame Island, Radditz is approaching. Goku
shows off his son Gohan to Krillin, Bulma and Master Roshi and are
catching up on old times when the large Saiyan appears. Radditz
questions Goku about why he had not destroyed the populations of the
Earth and learns that Goku has forgot his Saiyan heritage. It is
here that Radditz grabs Gohan and gives Goku an ultimatum to join
him. Goku makes an attempt to stop his older brother but is punched
in the stomach.
SAIYAJIN SAGA
Gohan’s Training/ Saiyan Battle Area- A deserted area, this
is where Piccolo begins Gohan’s intense training for the upcoming
arrival of the Saiyans. There is little to no trees, large pillars
of rock, small caves and lots of dinosaurs. Gohan survives his
training but looses his confidence and escapes to return home to his
mother. Later, Nappa and Vegeta begin the fight in this deserted
area by allowing their small army of Saibaman take on the fighters
one at a time. Yamcha, Tien and Choutzu all loose their lives.
Krillin, Piccolo and Gohan try their luck against the mighty Nappa
but are no match for the Massive Saiyan warrior. Luckily Vegeta
agrees to wait until Goku arrives back on the Earth but Piccolo is
killed protecting Gohan when their time runs out.
The East Capital (Eastern Capital)/ Vegeta and Nappa’s landing
ground- Vegeta and Nappa make a grand entrance as they touch
down in the downtown area of this city. They then wipe out the
district, destroying everything, and move to a more isolated spot
for their battle with the Z fighters.
Rocky Desert Area/Goku and Vegeta Battleground- Goku finally
arrives and easily defeats Nappa, who is then killed by Vegeta.
Vegeta and Goku face off and battle intensively. Yajirobe, Gohan and
Krillin eventually end up there and join in the battle. This is were
Vegeta transforms into his Oozaru form and has his tail cut off by
Yajirobe. Unfortunately, Goku, Gohan and Krillin are all injured.
Luckily, Krillin and Gohan are able to use a Genki Dama that Goku
was able to form to weaken Vegeta. Gohan is transformed into his
Oozaru form and is wreaking havoc but when his tail is cut off, he
falls on Vegeta and he is defeated. Vegeta makes it to his ship and
is allowed to leave by Goku and Krillin.
BEGINNING OF THE FRIEZA SAGA
Frozen Continent of Yunzabitt- The landing spot of Kami when
he arrived from the Planet Namek. Located on the Northern most
continent. This is where Mr. Popo takes Bulma to recover the
spaceship that Kami arrived in. After the spaceship is repaired and
restored, Bulma, Krillin and Gohan use it to travel to Namek to
recover the Namekian Dragon Balls.
Space Ship of Orphans/Escapees- While on the way to Namek,
Bulma, Krillin and Gohan’s ship accidentally enters a disguised
space craft. The three set out to explore the ship but are quickly
confronted with gun wielding youths that have a personal vendetta
against a then, unknown, villain Frieza. Thinking that the small
group from Earth are a part of Frieza’s army, they attack Krillin
and Gohan. At this time, the ship enters an asteroid storm and Gohan
and Krillin end up saving some of the kids from a falling piece of
the ship. Luckily, Bulma is able to save the ship and they are
allowed to continue on their journey to Namek.
Mistaken Planet Namek/Planet of the Zaakuro - Bluma, Krillin,
and Gohan crash lands on this planet and when they awaken they find
two “Namekians”. These “Nameks” show them around the planet
and help them find the dragon balls. It is not until the group is
recovering the last dragon ball, that they discover the Nameks are
not who they claim to be. The two are actually aliens, Yaakuro, that
had crashed on the planet and were playing a game with Bulma, Gohan
and Krillin. The two trap Gohan and Krillin and attempt to take
their ship. Luckily, the two aliens did not know how to operate it
and the three quickly take care of them and are on their way to the
true Planet Namek.
BATTLEFIELDS AND PLACES ON NAMEK
Namek Village/ Village of Muuri- One of the first battles on
the planet that is witnessed by Gohan and Krillin is in Dende’s
village. Frieza and his henchmen are demanding the dragon balls, but
the elder of the village refuses. The villagers think that all is
saved when their warriors arrive, but they are easily killed. The
village elder, is able to destroy the scouters of all the fighters
before he is also killed. The other members of the village also
fall, with the exception of Dende who is saved by Krillin and Gohan.
Vegeta battles Dodoria- It is here that Vegeta and Dodoria
meet up. Dodoria is confident that Vegeta is no threat until the
Saiyan reveals his true powerlevel to him. Vegeta threatens Dorodia
and the pink villain tells him about the true cause of Planet
Vegeta’s destruction. Vegeta learns that Frieza was the one
responsible and then kills Dordoia.
Frieza’s Spaceship- Frieza’s spaceship is dealt a lot of
damage at the hands of Vegeta during the Freiza Saga. First, the
proud Saiyan destroys the medical room when he blasts his way out of
the Rejuvenation Chamber. Later, he sends a powerful ki blast down
the corridors of the ship to distract Frieza and his men from his
true intentions. Vegeta uses the momentary distraction to blast
through Frieza’s observation room and steal the dragonballs.
Later, Vegeta returns and kills the group of fighters that are left
behind to guard the ship. It is also here that Vegeta and Jeice’s
battle moves to, destroying even more of the ship. Even Goku does
some damage, when he also blasts from the regeneration chamber that
Vegeta put him in.
Ginyu Force Against the Z fighters- This is the place where
Vegeta had hidden the Dragon Balls he had stolen from Frieza. The
Ginyu force had arrived and arrived just as Gohan, Krillin and
Vegeta returned to make their wish. From there, Vegeta, Gohan and
Krillin battled against Guldo and Recoome while Captain Ginyu
returned all the dragon balls to Frieza’s ship.
Guru’s House- Guru’s place is a large Namek house that
sits on top of a tall column of rock. Inside, the large Guru sits on
a throne and there is pretty much nothing else there. This is where
Gohan and Krillin go to seek out their true fighting potential.
Frieza ends up blasting away the wall of Guru’s house when he
arrives.
Area where Frieza and Nail Fight- When Frieza arrives at the
House of the Namek Elder, Guru, he is challenged by Nail. Nail,
wanting to give Krillin and Gohan time to recover the dragon balls
and make their wish, leads Frieza in the opposite direction of Dende
who rushes to summon the Namek Dragon. It is only when Frieza got
fed up with following Nail that the two stopped and the battle
began. It is here that Nail is defeated and later fused with
Piccolo.
Frieza battles Vegeta, Goku, Gohan, Piccolo and Krillin- This
area is located just a short distance from Frieza’s ship. Krillin,
Gohan and Dende take the Dragon Balls here to make their wishes
before Vegeta wakes up. They manage to make two wishes before Vegeta
arrives, but Guru dies before Vegeta gets his wish. By that time,
Frieza arrives and the three manage to hold him off until Goku
arrives. This is also the place where Vegeta dies for the first
time. He is buried by Goku but is returned to life by a wish from
the Dragon balls.
King Kai’s Planet- Soon after the Ginyu Force is defeated,
its members are transported to King Kai’s planet. They are brought
to test the new skills of Yamcha, Tien and Choutzu. The group of
evil villains first trash Kai’s house, eating all the food and
then declare that they are taking the planet for themselves. (Note:
King Kai’s Planet is located above the Earth and at the end of
Snake Way. The gravity is 10x that of the Earth’s. Kai, Bubbles
and Gregory reside there. Also it is destroyed in the Cell saga when
Goku transports the self destructing Cell there. The explosion kills
Goku, Kai, Bubble and Gregory)
GARLIC JR SAGA
Roshi’s Island/Kame’s House- When Garlic Jr. releases the
evil mist over the Earth, all are affected except for Krillin, Gohan
and Krillin’s girlfriend, Marron. Krillin and Marron were
underwater, right off Roshi’s island, when the mist floated over
the area. Gohan had been trapped in a cave by his pet dragon. Gohan
arrives on the island later, as the other two emerge from the water.
They find their friends possessed and now servants of Garlic Jr.
They are attacked and barely escape. It is at this time that Piccolo
shows up and is bitten by Yamcha and the others. Krillin, Marron and
Gohan escape. (Note: Kame House is located on a small island in the
southeastern sea)
Sky Palace/Tenkai- Later, Gohan and Krillin go to Sky Palace
to confront the evil Garlic Jr. and save Kami and Mr. Popo. There,
Garlic’s men attack them, but are no match for the enraged Gohan.
Piccolo appears again, but this time as an enemy. He seems to have
been affected by the bite from someone contaminated by the mist.
Piccolo attacks Gohan and beats around badly. Krillin steps in and
is “bitten” by Piccolo. Thinking that both Piccolo and Krillin
have turned against him, Gohan continues the battle, not wanting to
fight his friends. This turns out to be a distraction and Piccolo,
who had not really been affected, releases Kami and Mr. Popo. While
the three friends battle it out against Garlic Jr himself, Mr Popo
and Kami must face the spirits of past gods in order to save the
world. (Note: Kami’s place is located at the top of an extremely
tall tower that overlooks the Dragon Ball world. It is the same
tower that holds Karrin’s home and is located in the north)
Within Sky Palace- Mr. Popo guides Kami through the bowls of
Sky Palace, a void where the spirits of past Kami’s lurk. Kami is
attacked and while he battles, Piccolo is also affected, fazing in
and out as the life is sucked out of Kami. Finally, Kami is allowed
to pass and Mr Popo releases the healing water over the Earth,
returning everyone to normal.

deadly Androids when they attack an amusement park. Gohan battles

massive blast.

erupts and Gohan’s injuries make him no match for the combined
forces of both Androids. He is overcome by an awesome blast that
kills him. His body is left among the rubble of the street where
Trunks finds him later. Seeing his friend’s lifeless body causes
Trunks to transform into a Super Saiyan for the first time.
Destroyed City (Trunks vs Androids Alone)- While his mother
continues the last of the adjustments to the time machine, Trunks
hears of another Android attack. He thinks that he is now strong
enough to face the Androids and leaves to fight them. Taking his

underestimated them. Trunks attempts to hide in a damaged building
but the two seek him out and almost kill him. Bulma is able to find
him and nurses him back to health.

landed, Goku arrives back on Earth in the exact spot where Trunks
predicted he would. He is welcomed by his friends, learns of Trunks
true identity and of his own future.

Bulma takes him in and this is probably when their relationship

Gohan begin their training near the Son House. Piccolo kind of stays
with them during this time period and even makes an appearance in
some Earth clothes when he and Goku attempt to get their drivers
licenses.
Unknown Planet (Vegeta reaches Super Saiyan for the First Time)-
Although this is not mentioned until Vegeta fights Android 18 and
transforms into a Super Saiyan for the first time in front of the
others, this is where Vegeta actually makes his first
transformation. It is during an asteroid storm that Vegeta must
protect his spaceship that he is confronted by a huge asteroid that
he is barely able to destroy. His battered body is knocked to the
planet’s surface. Vegeta gets so angry with his failure to
transform into a Super Saiyan that this causes his first
transformation.

Island were the Tenkachi Bodoukai takes place.
9 Miles South of South City/Capital (Androids arrival)- This
is the arrival point of the Androids that Trunks predicted although
in his time it is Androids 17 and 18 that arrive there. The
Androids, 19 and 20, enter the city, almost kill Yamcha and destroy
most of the city before they are convinced to go to a more deserted
battle area to fight.
Island (Goku vs Android 19 and Vegeta vs Android 19)- Goku
leads the Androids to this area to fight. Goku, having only traveled
a short distance, seems to be worn out when they get there but he
goes up against Android 19 anyway. Goku does fine at first but then
the Android starts winning and it is obvious that something is
wrong. It is then that the fighters realize that Goku is suffering
from the heart virus that Trunks predicted. Luckily, before Goku can
be killed by the android, Vegeta arrives and transforms into a Super
Saiyan. He then destroys Android 19 and bluffs Android 20, who
flees.
Mountains (Android 20 vs Piccolo)- After Android 20 escapes,
he plays hide-and-seek with the Z fighters until he manages to grab
Piccolo and drain some of this energy. Gohan, alerted by Piccolo,
knocks Android 20 off of him and the other Z fighters arrive and
corner the android. Piccolo and 20 then fight and the Android soon
learns that he is no match for the Namek. Trunks arrives and
realizes that the Androids are not the ones that plague his future.
Android 20 uses the temporary distraction to blast Bulma’s
approaching aircraft and again escapes. Bulma identifies the Android
as Dr Gero and the Z fighters go in search of him and his lab.
The North Capital (Northern Capital)- Area where Piccolo and
some of the other Z fighters went to search for Android 20 (Dr Gero)
and his lab. Not really mentioned or seen at any other time.
Forest (Android 20 vs Krillin)- While searching the forested
area where Android 20 was tracked to, Krillin encounters him and is
almost killed. Luckily, Krillin is able to follow the android back
to his lab and alert the others to the location.
Dr. Gero’s lab (Android 20 vs Android 17 and 18)- This is
were Dr Gero (Android 20) keeps his creations. It is located within
a mountain and holds Android 16, 17 and 18. The entrance is
concealed in the side of the mountain and is where the Z fighters
enter. Vegeta destroys the door of the lab but not before Dr Gero
releases Androids 17 and 18. Dr. Gero attempts to stop them from
releasing Android 16 and is killed by 17. Trunks seeing the another
powerful android is going to be activated attempts to destroy the
entire Lab. This attempt fails and the android is released.
Highway (Android 18 vs Vegeta)- After Android 16 was
released, the androids left and were pursued by Vegeta. Trunks
attempts to stop his father but was unsuccessful. Vegeta catches up
to the Android on a highway, where they were going to stop and steal
a car. Vegeta faces off against Android 18 up and down this highway,
even taking the battle onto moving vehicles. Vegeta manages to put
up a good fight at first but soon it is obvious that he is
outmatched. The other fighters arrive and the battle moves off the
highway with the instructions that the other fighters must not
interfere.
Off the Highway (Android 17 and 18 vs Z fighters)- Vegeta
continues his fight with Android 18 but she manages to break his
arm. She is about to kill him when Trunks interferes, followed by
the others, except Krillin. All are injured and the Androids leave,
but not before they are questioned by Krillin. It is here that
Android 18 kisses Krillin and he begins to fall in love with her.
Android 18 picks up some new clothes- Because her clothing
was torn in the battle with Vegeta, the Androids stop off in a small
town in order to pick up some new clothes for 18. She picks out the
best outfit there (although she looks like she is going to a
hoe-down afterwards) and then leaves without paying for the outfit.
Of course the owner of the shop call the police.
Highway(Androids against police and motorcycle gang)- The
Androids are pursued by the police, but Android 18 quickly puts a
stop to their pursuit. Later, they encounter a motorcycle gang which
is quickly in the same way.

In Trunks Future, Cell kills Trunks, steals his time machine and
travels to the future to absorb Androids 17 and 18. In a forested
area near Ginger Town, Cell’s time machine is found and Bulma,
Trunks, Gohan go to investigate it. There they find the time machine
and Trunks identifies it as his own, but mysteriously it looks
extremely old and Trunks still has his ship in capsule form with
him. They then find the abandoned egg of Cell and his shed skin.
Room of Spirit and Time- Not really a place where the Z
fighters battle against a villain, but it is where Vegeta and
Trunks, Goku and Gohan, battle each other in order to prepare for
the battles with the Androids and Cell. This is where Gohan
transforms into Super Saiyan for the first time and where both
Vegeta, Goku and Trunks reach USSJ form.
Ginger Town- This is the place that Cell first goes to and
begins to absorb people to increase his energy. Cell manages to
absorb the whole town and gains enough energy to battle Piccolo who,
now fused with Kami, arrived to challenge him. Piccolo manages to
learn of Cell’s plans but is unable to stop the vile creature when
he completely destroys the city and escapes to pursue the Androids.
(Note: It is located near the Western Capital)
Island (Battleground of Piccolo vs Android 17 and Cell vs Android
17 and 16, Tien vs Cell)- This is where Piccolo leads the
Androids to fight. Once there, Piccolo attempts to destroy Android
17. Unfortunately, Cell arrives and the battle is halted while Cell
announces that he is going to absorb the androids. Unexpectedly,
Android 16 steps in and all are surprised to find out that he is
much stronger than the other two androids. Cell manages to absorb 17
and reaches his second form. Android 16 and Piccolo are injured and
Tien arrives and holds off Cell until the other Androids can escape.
Tien uses up all his energy and Goku uses his instaneous movement to
rescue him and Piccolo.
Island where Cell absorbs Android 18 and reaches Perfect Form
(Vegeta vs Cell , Trunks vs Cell, Krillin vs Cell)- Cell
destroys all the islands in the area, but is confronted by Vegeta
and Trunks on this island. It also happens to be the same island
where Android 16 and 18 are hiding. Vegeta is winning the battle but
then allows Cell to absorb Android 18 so that he can fight Cell in
his perfect form. Cell transforms and defeats both Vegeta and then
Trunks. He calls the Cell Games and leaves.
Cell Games Battle Ring- Cell goes to this area, which was
inhabited. He eliminates the inhabitants of the area, clears the
space and begins the construction of the ring where the Cell games
will take place. This ring is very large and has four obelisks on
each corner. The rules are simple, you loose if you are knocked out
of the ring, give up or are killed.
Cell Game moved- During the fight with Goku, Cell realizes
that the Ring is restricting the fighting so he destroys it and
moves the fight to open ground. Goku fights for a time, but then
Gohan takes his place. Android 16 is destroyed here and Gohan
reaches the next level of Super Saiyan, Level 2. Cell attempts to
self destruct and Goku transports him to Kai’s planet. Cell blows
up, killing all there, but he survives and rejuvenates himself and
returns to Earth. There he kills Trunks and almost kills Vegeta.
Gohan manages to save Vegeta and kill Cell with a one handed
Kamehameha attack.
Parsley City (Trunks vs Androids after returning from past)-
Having trained in the Room of Spirit and Time, Trunks reaches a new

soon to be revived Buu are at the bottom of the ship. From there,
Babidi controls the battles and is able to transport the fighters to
different locations.
Pui Pui’s battle (Zun)- The first fight takes place on the
first level of Babidi’s ship. Vegeta faces off against Pui Pui and
