What is the Plot of Dragon Ball Z: Cooler’s Revenge?
Frieza, Cooler’s younger brother, destroys the Saiyan home world. His minions aim to blow up a space pod that is evacuating the dying planet and transferring a Saiyan newborn to Earth. Nonetheless, Cooler lets it go, citing Frieza’s duty. Goku, a Saiyan, beats Frieza more than two decades later. Cooler leads his soldiers – Salza, Neiz, and Dore – on a journey to recover his family’s dignity after learning of his brother’s death. Cooler’s men assault Goku and his buddies while on a camping trip on Earth. When Goku shields Gohan from an energy blast launched by Cooler, he sustains severe injuries. While Gohan journeys to get the magical Senzu beans to heal his father, Krillin and Oolong seek refuge in a cave with Goku. Cooler orders his soldiers to destroy the forest, assuming that Goku is sheltering there. Cooler’s troops ambush Gohan after getting the beans, and Piccolo comes to save him. Piccolo murders Dore and Neiz, but Cooler intervenes and impales him with an energy beam. Salza follows Gohan to the cave and kills the beans. Gohan, on the other hand, successfully cures Goku using a spare one. Salza rapidly overcomes Krillin and Gohan, but Goku appears shortly after. Cooler mocks Goku by wounding Piccolo more. Goku knocks down Salza and attacks Cooler. Cooler claims that he developed a new transformation beyond Frieza’s ability when Goku proved to be a competent opponent. Cooler, who boasts and mocks Goku, slaps him. However, after witnessing a bird perish from wounds inflicted by their conflict, Goku considers the well-being of his loved ones. Goku finds the dead bird and turns it into his Super Saiyan form, utilizing his energy to bring it back to life. Super Saiyan Goku vastly outmatches cooler. Cooler summons a massive energy orb and unleashes the attack, hoping to kill Goku and the Earth. Goku successfully repels and overpowers the onslaught, hurling it onto Cooler, who is sent into space and collides with the sun. Cooler understand while being burned that Goku is the Saiyan child he saved decades ago. He disintegrates as he laments his error. Goku is exhausted after his win and is discovered by his loved ones. When Salza reappears and threatens to murder them, they rejoice and look for Piccolo. Piccolo, though, suddenly kills Salza. Gohan screams for Piccolo, who is nowhere to be found. Piccolo, who has recovered, takes some water and looks up at the sky.
