Arrival

Dragon Ball Z: Arrival is the first volume of the original Pioneer Dragon Ball Z DVD and VHS releases. It includes four installments from The Saiyan Conflict, episodes 1, 2, 3, and 4. The Pioneer version compiled the episodes together like a movie, removing all episode recaps and title cards. It was also included with The Saiyan Conflict box set, which collected volumes 1-8.

==Episodes==
*The Arrival of Raditz - Goku meets a mysterious warrior from space, Raditz, who claims they are brothers.
*The World's Strongest Team - Raditz commands Goku to accept his heritage and attack the Earth. When Goku refuses, Raditz kidnaps Goku's son Gohan and commands Goku to destroy 100 earthlings by the next morning to save his son's life. Goku decides to join forces with Piccolo in order to take on Raditz.
*Gohan's Hidden Powers - After Goku and Piccolo start losing to Raditz, Gohan reveals his hidden potential.
*Goku's Unusual Journey - Piccolo manages to kill Raditz with his Special Beam Cannon, with Goku sacrificing himself to help defeat their enemy.
==Trivia==
*Unlike subsequent Pioneer releases, the back cover of the VHS and DVD does not have individual episode summaries. Instead, a description of all four are used.
*For this release, Funimation got the Ocean Studios cast to redub several lines relating to death, due to concerns from Saban. The original broadcast version with the uncensored lines can be found on the promo "Action" VHS version, and on the 2013 Rock the Dragon Edition collector's DVD box set.
