===Dragon Ball===
====Emperor Pilaf Saga====
The team un-officially formed when Goku agreed to go with Bulma on her quest to find the Dragon Balls. They traveled past Mount Paozu and into Skull Valley where they met Turtle. Goku and Bulma returned the turtle back to the ocean where his owner, Master Roshi, gave Bulma his Dragon Ball and Goku the Flying Nimbus as a reward. After Oolong joined Goku and Bulma they met the desert bandit and Bulma's eventual boyfriend Yamcha and Puar in Diablo Desert, who would later become additional members of the team. At Fire Mountain, they met the Ox-King and Chi-Chi, who would become Goku's wife several years later.
====Red Ribbon Army Saga====
Later, while training with Master Roshi for the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament, Goku met his best friend Krillin, and also Launch. While dealing with the Red Ribbon Army, Goku reunited Bulma, Krillin and his other friends in search of his Dragon Ball resulting in their confrontation with the Red Ribbon Army. While Master Roshi, Launch and Turtle take down another batch of Red Ribbon soldiers invading their island for the Dragon Ball kept at the Kame House. Goku would eventually take down the entire army single-handedly. Afterwards, the entire team (sans Oolong and Launch) gathered at Fortuneteller Baba's Palace in order to do battle with her warriors as a price for her telling them where the final Dragon Ball is, for Upa.
====King Piccolo Saga====
Later, at the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament, the team met Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu, who started out as enemies but soon became allies. Soon after that, Goku met the samurai Yajirobe, who also ended up joining the team (albeit reluctantly). The team later encounters King Piccolo, who spawns many mutated "sons" that murder Krillin and other martial artists around the world. Master Roshi and Chiaotzu lose their lives as well to King Piccolo when they attempt to use the Dragon Balls to destroy him. Enraged, Goku seeks revenge and successfully kills King Piccolo. 
====Piccolo Jr. Saga====
After reviving Krillin, Chiaotzu, Roshi and the other victims of King Piccolo via the Dragon Balls, the group disbands for three years until they commerce at the 23rd World Tournament. Goku faces the last of King Piccolo's sons, Piccolo Junior, in the final round of the tournament. Despite Piccolo's attempts to kill him, Goku ultimately defeats Piccolo and decides to spare his life due to his connection to the Dragon Balls. Afterwards, the team parts ways for another five years; during this time, Goku and Chi-Chi marry and give birth to their first son Gohan.
