Talot brought his spaceship to Capsule Corp and asked Dr. Brief to help build a larger, more advanced vessel, while Bulma showed off her early Dragon Ball signal receiver. The spaceship project remained uncertain, and Bulma’s prototype still had a very limited range.

• Talot learned that Tights had left Earth with Jaco three days earlier to explore the universe and pursue her dream of becoming a science-fiction writer.
• Talot asked Dr. Brief to study his spaceship and help build a bigger, more complete one, reassuring Gine and Selari that it would not need to be dismantled.
• Talot and Dr. Brief discussed spaceship technology and the possibility of adding a gravity device during construction.
• Bulma showed Talot a signal receiver that detected a Dragon Ball and displayed its signal, surprising Gine and Selari with her invention.
• Bulma estimated that her receiver could detect signals across an area about the size of a hundred homes, so Talot realized it needed much more development.

Talot reached 3,500 battle power after half a month of weighted training, then learned that Brief had completed the first Gravity Device. Talot returned to Brief’s laboratory to test it, leaving the group ready to discover how much gravity the device could produce.

• Talot destroyed a rock mountain during training and measured his battle power at 3,500 points.
• Talot reflected on his progress and compared his strength with Vegeta’s.
• Brief contacted Talot and said he had finished the first Gravity Device, but warned that they still needed to test its limits.
• Talot flew to Brief’s laboratory, where he joined Gine, Selari, and Brief in the large training room.
• Brief questioned whether Talot should conduct the gravity test, and Talot agreed to try as long as the device did not jump directly to one hundred times Earth’s gravity.

Talot tested Brief’s Gravity Device while wearing a five-hundred-kilogram Weighted Suit, steadily raising the gravity to see how much strain he could endure. At thirty times Earth’s gravity, he struggled to move but managed to steady himself, leaving the test ongoing.

• Brief explained the Gravity Device’s controls to Talot while Gine and Selari watched from the main control room.
• Talot raised the gravity to 10G and found that, despite the added pressure of his Weighted Suit, it barely affected him.
• Talot increased the setting to 20G and exercised, discovering that the gravity noticeably restricted his movements and made him sweat.
• Talot raised the gravity to 30G, where his breathing grew heavy, his movements slowed, and his legs trembled.
• Talot adapted enough to steady himself and concluded that thirty times gravity was difficult mainly because he was training in his five-hundred-kilogram suit.

Talot pushed himself through 30x, 40x, and 50x gravity to test his limits and strengthen his foundation. After recovering with a Senzu Bean, he reassured Gine and Selari that becoming stronger quickly would help them face future threats.

• Brief mistook Talot's struggle at 30x gravity for his limit, but Talot insisted he could continue and removed his 1,000-jin Weighted Suit.
• Talot moved briefly under 30x gravity, then slowly adapted to 40x gravity as Brief, Gine, and Selari watched in alarm.
• Talot raised the gravity to 50x and endured it, concluding that he could not adapt to that level quickly.

• Gine warned Talot not to be so reckless, and Talot reassured her and Selari that they needed to grow stronger to face threats.

Brief developed a stable Gravity Training Room and a spatial-storage capsule, while Talot collected Cosmic Ore for his research. Talot began gravity training with Gine and Selari, raising the room to twenty times normal gravity.

• Brief asked Talot to collect Cosmic Ore for a spaceship, and Talot agreed to keep testing ways to increase the Gravity Device's limit.
• Talot traveled alone into space and used Brief's new spatial-storage capsule to gather more ore than Brief had requested.
• Talot returned the ore to Brief, who completed stability tests that allowed the Gravity Device to run continuously for ten days.
• Talot invited Gine and Selari to join his gravity training, and they began at ten times Earth's gravity.
• Talot raised the gravity to twenty times normal, which Gine and Selari could still endure.

Talot, Gine, and Selari made rapid gains through gravity training, and a year after leaving Planet Vegeta, they learned that Bulma had nearly completed the Dragon Ball Radar. While Gine and Selari waited with Bulma, Talot pushed his training to fifty times Earth's gravity and reached 5,000 repetitions.

• Talot trained with Gine and Selari under twenty times Earth's gravity, and their Battle Power rose to nearly 4,000 for Talot, 1,500 for Gine, and 1,350 for Selari.
• Talot kept their training gradual, guided Gine and Selari to believe they could grow stronger, and practiced Ki Cultivation after his own workouts.

• Talot introduced himself as a Saiyan and explained that Son Gohan had directed him to Roshi for a Dragon Ball.
• Master Roshi gave Talot the Three-Star Dragon Ball after learning what the Dragon Balls could do.
• Talot and Roshi discussed ki cultivation, and Talot learned that Roshi had once failed to reach Kami’s Lookout.
• After nearly two hours of conversation, Roshi taught Talot the Meditation Method, which used imagined scenarios to strengthen the mind.

Talot gathered all seven Dragon Balls and summoned Shenron at Kami's Lookout with Gine, Selari, and Bulma. After learning Shenron could grant only one wish, Talot secured permission to ask questions first, though the answers would consume Wish Power and might affect their final wish.

• Talot collected the Seven-Star Dragon Ball from Ox-King and met Chi-Chi, then found the final One-Star Dragon Ball in a remote mountain ruin.
• Talot brought Gine, Selari, and Bulma to Kami's Lookout, where Popo summoned Shenron from the seven Dragon Balls.

• Talot accepted Shenron's conditions and prepared to ask his questions.

Talot asked Shenron about Bardock and Raditz, learning that both were alive but that Shenron could not locate Bardock or bring him back. Talot then tried to have Raditz transferred to Earth, but Shenron also failed to grant that wish.

• Talot asked Shenron whether Bardock and Raditz were alive, and Shenron confirmed that Raditz survived alongside four other Saiyans.
• Shenron said Bardock was alive but that a special force had prevented him from tracing Bardock after Planet Vegeta exploded.
• Gine wished for Bardock to be brought to her, but Shenron said he could not grant the wish.
• Talot comforted Gine, then stopped her from asking Shenron about Kakarot and promised to explain what he knew after the wishes.
• Talot wished for Raditz to be transferred to Earth, but Shenron said he could not fulfill that wish either.

After Shenron explained that he could not bring Raditz to Earth, Talot wished for the ability to survive in space. Shenron granted the wish and strengthened Talot, who then caught the Two-Star Ball and Four-Star Ball as the Dragon Balls scattered.

• Gine asked why Shenron could not bring Raditz, and Shenron explained that his power was insufficient and Raditz was too far away.
• Gine encouraged Talot to make a wish, and Talot wished to survive in space.
• Shenron granted Talot’s wish, strengthening his body and giving him the ability to survive without air.
• Talot caught the Two-Star Ball and Four-Star Ball as the Dragon Balls flew away, saying he would return the Two-Star Ball to Bulma and borrow the Four-Star Ball.
• Selari and Bulma asked Talot whether the wish had worked and what his new ability allowed him to withstand.

Talot told Bulma that Shenron’s ability to let him survive in space might evolve, then said he, Gine, and Selari planned to remain on Earth and rebuild their Saiyan lives. After explaining Kakarot’s situation to Gine, Talot asked her to decide how she would approach her son, leaving her torn between acknowledging him and letting him grow up with Son Gohan.

• Talot said he needed to test the limits of Shenron’s space-survival ability, and Gine guessed that he had wished for it because Planet Vegeta had exploded.
• Talot told Kami Piccolo that he, Gine, and Selari would stay on Earth, and Kami Piccolo formally welcomed them despite his misgivings.
• Talot, Gine, and Selari left Kami’s Lookout with Bulma, while Kami Piccolo and Popo anticipated that Earth’s situation would grow more complicated.
• After returning to West City, Talot told Gine that Kakarot had been adopted by Son Gohan and had lost his memories after a fall.
• Gine asked Talot what he would do, uncertain whether to recognize Kakarot or let him keep growing and training with Son Gohan.

Gine and Selari settled on Mount Paozu to remain close to Kakarot without interfering with his life, while Talot returned to West City to help Brief develop spaceships and gravity training technology.
