What is The Plot of Dragon Ball: Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!!?
Mr. Satan invites Goku, Vegeta, and their families to dinner two years after Majin Buu’s defeat by Goku, feeling bad that his new hotel is named after what the majority of Earth perceives to be his victory over Buu. Two Saiyan spaceships descend during supper, and a strange Saiyan and his wife approach the heroes at the hotel. Tarble, Vegeta’s younger brother, reveals himself and says that he was judged weak by their father and taken to a faraway planet before Planet Vegeta was destroyed. He also presents Gure, a little extraterrestrial humanoid, as his wife. Tarble approaches his brother for assistance in dealing with Abo and Kado, troops from Frieza’s army destroying his world.
As Abo and Kado come to Earth, the heroes choose radishes from Goku’s garden to see who will face the two, and Goten chooses the longest. Under pressure from his father, Trunks selects a radish that stretches for kilometers. Trunks are joined in the fight by Goten. The kids overcome the two soldiers until Abo and Kado duplicate themselves. Goten and Trunks take the upper hand thanks to Gohan’s support. Abo and Kado combine to make the bigger, more powerful Aka.
After Aka destroys Goten and Trunks, they perform the Fusion Dance, failing on the first attempt but succeeding on the second. He quickly seems to defeat Aka now that he is fully powerful as Gotenks. While everyone is enjoying themselves, Aka attacks again after Gotenks taunts him, but Piccolo stops the attack. As the threat grows, Aka destroys most of the hotel, and Goku and Vegeta join the fight. Nonetheless, Goku fools Vegeta into glancing aside as he beats Aka with a Kamehameha wave. After the battle, everyone returns to what remains of the hotel to resume the dinner. Abo and Kado engage in the festivities. The episode concludes with Goku and Vegeta arguing over food and changing into Super Saiyans while they do so.

As the series progresses, Krillin becomes Goku’s closest ally and best friend as he fights every villain along with Goku or before him and is often depicted as the comic relief.
Who was Vegeta’s brother?
Brother Tarble
Vegeta’s brother Tarble was introduced in Dragon Ball: The Return of Son Goku and Friends!, a movie that never even got an English dubbed release.
