Raditz confronts Goku, one of the Earth's greatest defenders, and shocks everyone by revealing that Goku is really Kakarot with amnesia! Raditz commands Goku to accept his heritage and attack the earth [sic]. When Goku refuses, Raditz kidnaps Goku's son Gohan and commands Goku to destroy 100 earthlings by the next morning to save his son's life. Still reeling from the shock, Goku suddenly finds help from an unlikely source - his arch-enemy Piccolo! Despite their differences, they both realize that they must team up if they want to have a chance against Raditz. However, once their battle against the Saiyan has begun, it becomes obvious that, even together, they are not powerful enough to challenge Raditz! How will they make up the difference? What sacrifices will have to be made to protect the Earth?

Primary Content
The primary content of the Arrival VHS and DVD release is episodes the first four episodes from FUNimation's original edited English dub of the Dragon Ball Z television series, first aired in 1996 in syndication. On DVD, the video stream is encoded as interlaced (480i), with black side borders of approximately # pixels on the left and # on the right.
| Dub Episode | Dub Title | Original Episodes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The Arrival of Raditz | DBZ 1 / DBZ 2 |
| 2 | The World's Strongest Team | DBZ 3 / DBZ 4 |
| 3 | Gohan's Hidden Powers | DBZ 4 / DBZ 5 |
| 4 | Goku's Unusual Journey | DBZ 5 / DBZ 6 |
The product was released edited in an English-dub-only format on VHS and DVD, and is presented with a single audio track on both formats:
- 2.0 stereo sound English dub (FUNimation/Vancouver-based cast) with a replacement musical score (music by Shuki Levy)
Certain lines of dialog — namely those including the words "kill" or "death" — were replaced following the original broadcast in the initial batch of episodes; these revised dialog edits are present until FUNimation's "Rock the Dragon" edition in 2013.
Arrival includes one set of opening and ending themes surrounding the content of the four episodes, which, other than fade outs and ins from the non-existent commercial breaks, runs as a sort of "feature-length" presentation.
