Great Saiyaman Saga

This article (Great Saiyaman Saga), or a section of this article, is very messy. Please edit this article so that it looks more polished.

Great Saiyaman Saga is the eleventh saga of Dragon Ball Z. It has two parts and summaries to the saga. The first half features Goku's adventures in the Other World, but its designed for the anime (not present in the manga). The second half features Gohan and the rest of the Z Fighters' lives seven years after the Cell Games. This saga is the first to feature the new generation of Z Fighters such as Goten, Trunks, Android 18, and Videl. It takes place after the Cell Games Saga and before the World Tournament Saga. This is part of US Season Seven.

Synopsis

Pikkon battles Goku in the final match in the Other World tournament.

After the events of the Cell Games, a deceased Goku is summoned with the top student of the West Kai, Pikkon, to solve a disturbance in Hell, where Frieza, his father King Cold, Super Perfect Cell and the Ginyu Force are terrorizing the guards to tell them the way out. While Pikkon takes care of a guard who had almost been killed by some spikes, Goku takes on the Ginyu Force and easily dispatches of them. However, when Cell heads straight for Goku, Pikkon intervenes, taking him out with ease, and also Frieza and King Cold.

Gohan as the Great Saiyaman.

After peace in the Other World is returned, Goku is informed by King Kai of an Other World Tournament that is taking place. During the tournament, Goku & Pikkon defeat their opponents up until the finals, and then face each other for the tournament victory. At first, both seem equal in strength, but then Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan and Pikkon starts fighting at his full power by removing his weighted clothing. As the battle gets more intense, Pikkon seems to have the upper hand, taking down Goku with his Hyper Tornado and Thunder Flash techniques. But at the last moment, when Pikkon decides to use his Thunder Flash for the third time, Goku utilizes his Instant Transmission and counters with his Kamehameha, blasting Pikkon out of the arena, seemingly giving Goku a victory until the Grand Kai disqualifies them both because they touched the ceiling, which is not allowed, thus ending the match in a draw. However, for giving him such a great match, he agrees to train them both for 100 years. However, Goku refuses the proposal, saying that 100 years is far too long.

Videl wants Gohan to teach her how to fly.

Meanwhile, seven years later on Earth, Gohan is an 18-year-old teenager (16 in the manga) and spends his days studying at Orange Star High School, trying not to reveal his hidden powers, as that would attract unwanted attention to himself. On his first day to high school, he witnesses a bank robbery. To hide his identity, he transforms into a Super Saiyan and takes out the robbers, becoming the talk of the city, with the nickname "Gold Fighter". Videl, Hercule's daughter and classmate of Gohan's, who generally fights trouble in the city and gets assistance from the police as well, is suspicious that Gohan may be the "Gold Fighter". Afraid of being caught out, Gohan asks Bulma to make him a costume that will conceal his identity while fighting.

He becomes the "Great Saiyaman", a hero of justice, but Videl is suspicious of the new superhero, and later finds out his secret, keeping it a promise in exchange for flying lessons and on the condition that Gohan enters in the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament. And this leads up to all the events of the Buu arc.
