"Son Goku's Past!!" is the one hundred and ninety-seventh chapter of the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. It was first published in Japan in the 1988 #47 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.
Summary
Goku freaks out about the tail, and the alien assumes Kakarrot finally recognizes him. Goku does not understand, and the alien thinks Kakarrot must have had a great shock to the head. Goku says he is not this "Kaka-whatever", he is Son Goku. The alien yells to just answer the question, if he was hit on the head or not. Goku sort of remembers hitting his head when he was little, and he still has a scar.
The Turtle Hermit says he once heard Son Gohan had taken in a baby with a tail and a wild personality. "But, one day, he accidentally dropped the baby in a valley, hitting its head really hard. He almost died, but the baby had an unbelievable life force, and it seems the baby was saved. Additionally, after that, the wild personality disappeared and he became an obedient, good boy..." Goku realizes that baby was him, and Bulma wonders what this means. Is this alien somehow connected to Goku?
The alien realizes Kakarrot has forgotten everything, as Kuririn gets up and warns Goku about how strong he is. "I will explain it to you! First, you are not a human of this planet!! You were born on Planet Vegeta!! You are of the prideful, strongest race in all the universe, the Saiyans!!! And I am your older brother, Raditz!!!" Everyone freaks out, and Goku thinks this is nonsense. Kuririn agrees, asking why Goku would be here on Earth if he is an alien.
Raditz says it is simple. Kakarrot was sent here to get rid of all the humans that were in the way. The Saiyans clear planets of their inhabitants and sell them. Adults are sent to planets with high battle power inhabitants, but for a weak planet like this, they send babies, who can get stronger with the help of a planet's moon. Goku asks about the moon, and Raditz explains how looking at the full moon brings out their specialty. The Turtle Hermit, Bulma, and Kuririn all realize what he means by that, but Goku still has no idea about the Great Ape transformation. Then Raditz freaks out and asks what happened to his tail, and Goku explains it was cut off a while ago. Raditz gets really pissed at these humans, but Goku yells at him that they are not related, it is like Kuririn said.
Goku tells Raditz to go home, he is Son Goku who was raised here, and everyone else agrees. Raditz then explains that there are only a few Saiyans left in the universe, as Planet Vegeta was destroyed in an explosion caused by a meteor collision. Most of the Saiyans are gone from the universe, including their mother and father. There are only four Saiyans left now, including the two of them. He wants Kakarrot to come with them. They will have fun conquering planets; it is in their blood.
Goku still refuses, and then Raditz asks him if that is his kid back there. Raditz thinks maybe his son will lend a hand, and Goku tells him he will knock him out if he comes any closer. But in a split second, Raditz pounds Goku in the stomach, taking him down, and then he grabs Gohan. As Gohan wails, Raditz tells Kakarrot he has one day to reconsider things. He has until this time tomorrow to show him one hundred dead Earthlings. He wants to avoid killing his little brother's kid, if he can.
