Synopsis
The Anime Lad

Years after Dragon Ball, Goku introduces his young son Gohan to old friends at Kame House.

The universe has declined to adjust its threat schedule accordingly.

Gigguku

Seeing Goku arrive with a kid is strange enough. Then one visitor from space blows the doors off everything the original series treated as the limit. The power readings, the speed, the sheer confidence of that escalation, it is immediate. Dragon Ball Z announces that family now matters and the battlefield has become cosmic, then expects you to keep breathing normally!

Father's Basement

The franchise is notorious for stretched pacing, but this opening wastes little time redefining its scale. Goku is a father now, which gives the old hero a responsibility beyond chasing stronger opponents. A visitor from space makes familiar strength look suddenly local. The escalation works because it disrupts a warm reunion rather than beginning with anonymous spectacle.
