Plot
Cooler watches as his younger brother Frieza destroys the Saiyan home world. His henchmen prepare to destroy a space pod fleeing the doomed planet, transporting a Saiyan infant to Earth. Cooler allows it to go, accounting that it is Frieza's responsibility. More than 20 years later, this Saiyan, Goku, defeats Frieza. After learning of his brother's death, Cooler takes his men – Salza, Neiz, and Dore- to reclaim his family's honour. On Earth, Cooler's forces ambush Goku and his friends while on a camping trip. Goku is badly wounded when he protects Gohan from Cooler and goes into hiding.
Krillin and Oolong find shelter in a cave with Goku, while Gohan travels to obtain the magic Senzu beans that can heal his father. Cooler orders his men to completely obliterate the forest to locate Goku. After obtaining the beans, Gohan is ambushed by Cooler's men before Piccolo arrives to save him. Piccolo kills Dore and Neiz, but Cooler arrives and incapacitates him. Salza tracks Gohan to the cave and destroys the Senzu. However, Gohan successfully heals Goku with a spare one. Salza quickly defeats Krillin and Gohan, but Goku emerges. Cooler taunts Goku by further injuring Piccolo; Goku incapacitates Salza and attacks Cooler.
After Goku proves to be a worthy opponent, Cooler reveals that he discovered a new transformation above Frieza's capabilities. They fight, and Cooler pummels Goku. However, after Goku reflects on the well-being of his loved ones and the danger Cooler poses, he transforms into his Super Saiyan form.
Cooler finds himself grossly outclassed by Super Saiyan Goku. He powers up an enormous ki sphere and launches an attack in hopes of destroying Goku and the Earth along with him. After Goku manages to resist and overpower the attack, he sends it hurdling toward Cooler, who is launched into space and collides with the sun. As he is incinerated, Cooler realises that Goku was the Saiyan infant he spared decades ago. As he laments over his mistake, he is disintegrated.
Drained after his victory, Goku is found by his loved ones. They celebrate and search for Piccolo when Salza reappears and prepares to kill them, but Piccolo kills him.
