GHOST IN THE SHELL In a world caught in the grip of information overload, where artificial intelligence is more than the real thing and cyborg cops spend their lives surfing on an electronic sea of living data, only the ghost-the indefinable element of human consciousness-exists to determine who is alive and who is purely a creation of the net. Major Motoko Kusangi is an elite officer in the Section 9 Security Force. A cybernetic agent so heavily modified that little more than her ghost remains. Along with cyborg Bateau and the mostly human Togusa, Kusangi is set on the trail of a computer criminal known as the Puppet Master. A data thief skilled enough to hack into the very minds of his victims. His human marionettes live out existences that are nothing more than computer generated fantasy, unwittingly committing their master's crimes while the ghost hacker hides the the darkness. But as Kusangi digs deeper into the walls of secrecy surrounding the case, it appears that the Puppet Master has a special interest in her alone. And when the ministry of foreign affairs, shadowy Section 6, enters into a web of plot and counterplot, she realizes the true identity of her invisible assailant lies at the center of a vast and lethal political conspiracy . . . Seamlessly merging traditional cell animation with the latest computer graphic imagery.

However, Goku received a blow to his head upon his earthly arrival, causing him to forget his mission of destruction. Goku has instead become earth's most powerful defender. Raditz tells Goku to destroy 100 earthlings by the next morning or Goku's son Gohan will be killed. After Goku refuses his request, Raditz kidnaps Gohan. Goku is baffled about what to do until his arch enemy, Piccolo, appears. Piccolo joins forces with Goku to battle against the Saiyan's threat to Earth. Both use every technique they possess against Raditz. When Raditz has almost finished Goku, his power sensor goes off. Gohan has broken free of the space capsule in which Raditz has imprisoned him. In a remarkable burst of power against Raditz, Gohan's Saiyan blood shows through. Raditz is weakened by Gohan's burst, allowing Goku to grab Raditz in a bear hug. Piccolo summons an extra powerful screw blast to finish off Raditz, but his attack also ends Goku's life. Before Raditz dies, he tells Piccolo that two other Saiyans who have even greater power are heading toward earth and will arrive within the year! While Piccolo trains Gohan, Goku travels through the other world to visit Martial Arts master King Kai to get superior training from him in preparation for the coming battle against the Saiyans!
