Dragon Ball: Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!! is a 35-minute Dragon Ball animated short film that premiered at the Jump Super Anime Tour in September 2008. It is the first animated Dragon Ball feature in twelve years, following the tenth anniversary film The Path to Power. It has not been licensed for an English-language release. Two years after the defeat of Majin Buu in the main Dragon Ball Z series, Mr. Satan finally finishes construction on his brand new hotel. Feeling guilty that the hotel is in honor of what the majority of Earth believes to be his defeat of Buu, he invites all of... the Z-Fighters and their families to a banquet. Everyone but Goku agrees to go until he is told that there will be "all you can eat" banquet. All the Z-Fighters, including Supreme Kai, Bubbles, King Kai, and Kibitokai, show up. Goku and Vegeta decide to spar, as they have dressed in their usual fighting outfits. Shortly after dinner, two Saiyan spaceships land just outside of town, and a mysterious Saiyan and his wife confront the Z-Fighters at the hotel.
