Fuu Kasumi, a clumsy young waitress, spends her days working peacefully at a small teahouse. That all changes when she accidentally spills a drink on a customer. A group of samurai begins harassing her, and she desperately calls on another samurai in the shop, Mugen, who swiftly defeats them with his wild fighting style, which incorporates movements reminiscent of breakdancing. Unfortunately, Mugen then picks a fight with the unwilling ronin Jin, who wields a more precise and traditional sword-fighting technique, and Jin proves to be a formidable opponent. The problem is, they destroy the entire shop and accidentally kill the local magistrate's son in the process. For their crime, the two samurai are captured and set to be executed. However, Fuu rescues them and hires the duo as her bodyguards.

Five years following his victory at the World Martial Arts tournament, Gokuu enjoys a tranquil existence alongside his wife and child. That peace is shattered by the sudden appearance of a stranger named Raditz, who claims to be Gokuu's older brother. Raditz reveals that Gokuu belongs to the Saiyan race, once mighty but nearly extinct after their home planet was destroyed. Sent to Earth as an infant with the mission to conquer and annihilate the planet, Gokuu's brutal instincts were erased by a head injury that caused amnesia; instead, he grew up gentle and polite, now using his strength to defend others. After failing to forcibly recruit Gokuu as an ally, Raditz warns his friends of an imminent danger rapidly approaching Earth—one that will ignite an interstellar war and make the very heavens tremble. A conflict over the seven mystical Dragon Balls, magical artifacts capable of granting any desire, is about to erupt. Only the strongest will endure.

Gokuu Son is a young boy living alone in the woods—until a girl named Bulma stumbles upon him while searching for a set of magical objects known as the "Dragon Balls."

Gokuu happens to have a dragon ball, but he refuses to give it up, so Bulma strikes a deal: he can join her on her quest if he allows her to borrow the dragon ball's power. With that, the two embark on a journey of a lifetime. They don't travel alone. Along the way, they meet the old Muten-Roshi and his aspiring disciple Kuririn, with whom Gokuu trains to become a stronger martial artist for the upcoming World Martial Arts Tournament.

To stop those who would misuse the legendary power, they train to become stronger fighters, using their newfound strength to help the people they encounter along the way.

While his attitude may be somewhat irritating, it could very well be what saves Gaeabrande, especially given that it is a world where the forces of evil dominate every expectation.
