	In a city strewn with errant cherry blossom petals, [[Son Goku]] and [[Chi-Chi]] stand in line wearing their best clothes. Their mission is to win a sought-after spring break seminar placement for [[Son Gohan]] at a famous 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 drills Goku for his hobbies; he replies that he enjoys fighting. Chi-Chi scolds him, reminding him that he must respond "reading and sports". Some distance away, Goku's friends are relaxing at a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanami Hanami] party, celebrating the arrival of spring. The [[Turtle Hermit]] is drunk, but he demonstrate his prowess spinning plates while [[Dr. Brief]], [[Bulma's Mother]], [[Kuririn]], [[Son Gohan\|Gohan]], [[Oolong]], [[Bulma]], and baby [[Trunks]] look on. Even Bulma is impressed!		In a city strewn with errant cherry blossom petals, [[Son Goku]] and [[Chi-Chi]] stand in line wearing their best clothes.

	Back in line, Goku manages to remember his hobbies but screws up his three favorite words ("Friendship", "Effort", and "Victory").

Vegeta dismisses their offer and walks away until Paragus reveals his real reason for coming: Vegeta is the only one who can defeat the [[Legendary Super Saiyan]]. This Saiyan has destroyed much of the the [[South Galaxy]] and must be stopped before New Planet Vegeta is demolished as well. Despite Trunks's protests at his gullibility, Vegeta agrees to help Paragus. Somehow, Paragus knows all about "Prince" Trunks as well and invites him to join his father. Just before their ship departs, the still-drunk Turtle Hermit decides that he wants to come as well, dragging Gohan, Oolong, and Kuririn onto the boarding ramp as well. Trunks promises Bulma that he will bring his father home again before joining the departing ship as well.

	At the cram school interview, Goku and Chi-Chi are presenting their case when Goku is contacted by Kaiō: something terrible has happened and the Earth is in danger! Distracted, Goku is unable to remember his hobbies. He explains that something has come up and [[teleports]] away, much to the shock of the interviewers. He shed his ''gi'' immediately after arriving at Kaiō's planet, revealing his orange ''gi'' underneath. After Goku recharges with a meal, Kaiō explains the situation and fears that this new power is even stronger than Goku and his friends. Goku is elated! Goku mentally searches for Saiyan ''ki'' before realizing that he doesn't know what direction south is. Kaiō points the way and he tries again, teleporting to a destroyed planet. Whatever destroyed it must have been very powerful to have left so much ''ki'' behind.

	Meanwhile, Paragus's ship lands on New Planet Vegeta. He explains that he has been trying to rebuild the Saiyan civilization in the 30 years since [[Freeza]] destroyed [[Planet Vegeta\|their home planet]]. Inviting Vegeta to come to rule over them is a way for Paragus to repay [[King Vegeta\|his father]]. At the palace, a group of soldiers gathered from around the galaxy acclaim Vegeta as king. Paragus also introduces Vegeta to his son, [[Broli]], and places him in Vegeta's service. Broli is scrawny and quite shy, though wearing a decorative headpiece. A soldier interrupts, announcing that the Super Saiyan has been seen on [[Planet Totokama]]. Vegeta declares that he will set off at once, with Broli in tow. Trunks demands that his father be cautious, but his warning is ignored. Vegeta and Broly take off in Paragus's ship, leaving the others behind on the planet.

	At the castle, Paragus cackles with glee at the [[Comet Gumori]] approaching the planet. A slave, [[Moa]], worries about its approach but Paragus tells him that he will not need to experience the terror of the comet. Moa is grateful to be taken to [[Earth]], but Paragus just laughs and kills him. Just then, Vegeta and Broli return empty-handed from Totokama; they could find no sign of the Legendary Super Saiyan. Vegeta notices that Goku has arrived and he tells him not to interfere. Vegeta wants to be the one to defeat this new threat. Broli pauses as he passes Goku, becoming quickly and inexplicably enraged. The gem in his headpiece begins to glow as Paragus looks on. The elder Saiyan uses a controller on his wrist which seems to calm his son, although not immediately. Later in the evening, Paragus sits alone in a room with a large computer. Wires connect his wrist device to it. A servant tells him that they have collected enough ''ki'' to once again control Broli's power with the device. Paragus reflects to himself that his son is less controllable in Goku's presence. Could Goku be unlocking his son's Saiyan instincts? Paragus flashes back to a time when he and Broli were conquering a planet. His son's rage burned uncontrollably and he ended up destroying the planet completely before turning on his father. Paragus had his scientists create a restraint to keep his son under control, barely managing to slip it on him in his sleep. With his son's power under his control, Paragus could rule the universe. He also reflects that Goku and Broli were born on the same day, even in cribs adjacent to each other. Even in the nursery, Broli had an amazing [[battle power]]. The infant Goku's cries upset Broli. Paragus fears that if he cannot control his son, the universe may be destroyed.		At the castle, Paragus cackles with glee at the [[Comet Gumori]] approaching the planet.

Their leader approaches and introduces himself as [[Paragus]], another [[Saiyan]]. Paragus wishes for Vegeta to return with him to [[New Planet Vegeta]] and rule over them as king.

Vegeta dismisses their offer and walks away until Paragus reveals his real reason for coming: Vegeta is the only one who can defeat the [[Legendary Super Saiyan]]. This Saiyan has destroyed much of the the [[South Galaxy]] and must be stopped before New Planet Vegeta is demolished as well. Despite Trunks's protests at his gullibility, Vegeta agrees to help Paragus. Somehow, Paragus knows all about "Prince" Trunks as well and invites him to join his father. Just before their ship departs, the still-drunk Turtle Hermit decides that he wants to come as well, dragging Gohan, Oolong, and Kuririn onto the boarding ramp as well. Trunks promises Bulma that he will bring his father home again before joining the departing ship as well.
