Super Dragon Ball

'"Whatever just happened, things aren't the same anymore. Our destinies have changed. Life is going to be very interesting..."

- Goku '

Super Dragon Ball is a Japanese anime based on the manga of the same name. It is a direct sequel to Dragon Ball GT, but does not count it's ending, parts of the series, or parts of Dragon Ball Z as canon. It was created mainly for some joke characters to get the spotlight.

Season 1- Red Piccolo Saga
The first saga of the series begins with Vegeta, out on patrol, noticing several anomalies. Planets on the outer rim have been disappearing, and when Vegeta spots a red ball of energy heading toward a desert planet, he reluctantly alerts Goku, who has grown older since the end of the previous series, having graying hair. He jokes about Vegeta going through a midlife crisis before they enter the planet.

On the surface, they are attacked by the ball of energy, revealed to be the mysterious Red Piccolo, who blasts Goku out of commison with his eye blasts. Vegeta then engages him in hand to hand combat, with Red Piccolo catching his first punch and trapping the other beneath his jaw. He then creates a spear of lighting and drives it through Vegeta's chest, killing him.

Red Piccolo begins burrowing into the surface of the planet, and Goku, who has revived, leaps after him, managing to grab his leg. However, the enegry Red Piccolo gives off is too strong and Goku is forced ot retreat to the surface and retrieve Vegeta's body before the planet explodes. Goku returns to Earth with Vegeta's body, where he learns that Red Piccolo has survived the explosion and is heading toward the planet Nameck.
