Film

In a city, Son Goku and Chi-Chi stand in line wearing their best clothes. Their mission is to make a good impression so that Son Gohan can attend a prestigious cram school. Goku is impatient, but Chi-Chi says they could be waiting for at least two more hours, plus he has to do it just like they practiced. Chi-Chi tries asking Goku for his hobbies, and he replies that he enjoys fighting. Chi-Cho scolds him, reminding him that he must respond that his hobbies are reading and sports. Some distance away, Goku's friend are relaxing in a park and enjoying a picnic at the Cherry Blossom Festival. The Turtle Hermit is quite drunk, but he demonstrate his prowess spinning plates while Dr. Briefs, Bulma's Mother, Kuririn, Gohan, Oolong, Bulma, and baby Trunks look on. Even Bulma is impressed!

Back waiting in line, Chi-Chi is still grilling Goku on the answers to her interview questions. Goku successfully answers about his hobbies, but fails to know his three favorite words ("Friendship", "Effort", and "Victory"). At the park, Goku's friends are enjoying karaoke with Kuririn singing. While some of his friends are quite impressed with Kuririn's vocal style, others seem less certain. Vegeta and Future Trunks have arrived as well and while Trunks is impressed by his voice, Vegeta silently vows revenge against the singer. Suddenly, a spaceship lands in the park. Kuririn continues singing as a group of armored troopers emerge and surround Vegeta. Their leader approaches and introduces himself as Paragus, another Saiyan. It is not until his song is over that Kuririn realizes that all of his friends have disappeared.

Main Staff

The following list provides the main staff responsible for the production of this theatrical film as credited in its respective ending credits.

TBD

Setting

Based on the cherry blossoms in the trees, this film likely takes place in May or April of Age 767. Daizenshuu 6 places the film between May 17 and May 26, during the lead-up to the Cell Games, but during the chronology of the movie Cell is not mentioned.

• Kaiō's Planet
• An unknown city where Chi-Chi wants to interview for a cram school and where the rest of her friends attend a cherry blossom party.

Tidbits

• Chi-Chi's answer for Goku's three favorite words ("Friendship", "Effort", and "Victory") are actually a good reflection of his character, while her answers for his hobbies (reading and sports) most definitely are not.
• The Turtle Hermit's compliment that Kuririn's singing is "the best in Japan" is an anachronism. Japan is not a country in the Dragon World.
• The paperwork for Gohan's entrance into cram school avoids providing his birthdate or age but does establish that Son Goku's Mount Paozu home is located in "District 439, N018 East". This does not align with other coordinate systems provided in the anime or manga.
