Akira Toriyama's Original Cut

Last time on Dragon Ball Z Kai...

Goku undertook the perilous journey down Snake Way

to receive training from King Kai!

Meanwhile, to prepare for the arrival

of the Saiyans in one year's time,

Piccolo introduced Goku's son Gohan

to some unique training methods of his own.

It seems the timid boy possesses

a vast amount of hidden power, but will it be enough?

Training resumes today!

Wilderness Survival!

A Moonlit Night Awakens Gohan!

So... What now?

Uh, I mean... How do I... I train?

For now, you don't have to do anything. Just survive.

Ahh...?

Survive?

After six months...

if you've managed to stay alive,

I'll teach you how to fight.

Y-You're leaving me? You can't...!

I can't stay out here all by myself! Alone!

You won't be by yourself.

No, you'll have plenty of hungry wild animals

to keep you company.

You mean like lions and tigers?

Ah! But they'll eat me!

Quiet...! No more whining...!

It's time to start acting like a man. Understand...?

But... what do I do?

Whatever it takes to stay alive for six months.

If you can find a way to do that, then at the end...

You'll be a stronger fighter,

both in body and in mind.

Remember this...

There's a great power inside you,

just waiting to be unlocked.

but it's up to you to bring it out.

Use it! Believe in your ability!

If you want to survive, you'll need to learn how

to summon your powers whenever you need them.

But... what if I can't?

Heh.

Wait...! What am I supposed to eat?

I don't have any food!

Or water...! Or a bath...! Or a bed! Or anything!

I guess that's something you're just gonna have to figure out.

I never said this would be easy.

This is the path that fate has chosen for you.

The sooner you accept it, the better.

Wait...!

Stop! Don't go! You can't leave me here!

Come back! I don't know what to do all by myself!

Kami...? What is it?

Is something troubling you?

Hmm...

It's Piccolo...

I can still feel the evil in his heart.

And yet, there seems to be a change coming over him, Mr. Popo.

He is not acting like the villain I would expect.

Ah... It is odd. The old King Piccolo

never would have been willing to train Goku's son.

Yes...

I found it equally surprising when he agreed

to forge an alliance with Goku,

in order to fight Raditz.

I realize he had his own selfish motives for doing so...

But still, it does not change the fact that

he chose to defend the Earth...

And though it may seem

Piccolo's true evil nature revealed itself

when he eliminated Goku along with Raditz.

We must not forget, that Goku chose to make that sacrifice.

Not only that...

but he can be easily revived with the Dragon Balls.

Piccolo knows that Goku is certain to return,

and yet he has still chosen to train his son,

a boy that may one day grow to be

a powerful enemy in his own right.

When you put it that way, it doesn't make sense.

Perhaps it does, Mr. Popo. Perhaps it does.

Piccolo may have realized as I have,

that in one year, we will die.

No... Kami...

I'm sorry, Mr. Popo... but I have foreseen it.

I do not know the exact cause of our passing...

whether Piccolo will lose his life to the Saiyans,

or if I will simply succumb to old age.

But the result is the same.

My life force is forever bound with Piccolo's.

We are two halves of the same being.

One cannot exist without the other.

You might say it's... the curse of foresight:

seeing the day... of my own demise.

If Piccolo has sensed my mind,

he may wish to pass his knowledge on before he dies.

Even... if it's to the son of his own enemy.

But what about... the Dragon Balls?

Hmm...

There's time for one more wish.

Wow! I had no idea Gohan was so strong!

What he did against Raditz today was amazing!

I guess he's a chip off the old block after all!

Huh...?

Wait a sec!

No one ever actually said I had to stay on the path, did they?

I should've done this from the start!

Yow-ow-ow-ow!

Phew... So much for that idea.

Note to self: Do not go to hell.

Help me! Please...! Ah! Somebody help!

Now I'm stuck! Help... Somebody...? I can't get down!

Oh crap...

I don't know what that guide was talking about!

He said since I was dead,

I wouldn't have to worry about food, but... I'm starving!

What? You didn't tell her?

I'm sorry. I just couldn't.

I was gonna, but, you know, it just... oh...

You mean... none of it?

Right...

You're hopeless, you know that?

All you had to do was blurt it out, it's not hard.

Eh... Sure, it's easy for you to say.

Try lookin' Chichi in the face...

then you tell her Goku's dead. It's impossible!

Well... can't say I blame ya.

But we can't... not tell her.

Yeah, yeah, I know. So how about this...

We'll write a letter to Chichi instead!

Ah! You mean I'm off the hook? That's a great idea!

Okay, so what about the Dragon Balls?

The two at Goku's place...?

Tell me you still managed to pick them up, at least.

Ahh...! Um... I forgot.

Totally hopeless...

I'm hungry... and cold... and tired... and scared.

Wow, apples... Guess they must've fallen here. I'm saved!

Oh well... Heh...

These things... are sour. Ugh, that's gross!

I miss my Mom's cooking. I wanna eat a real dinner!

Oh, come on! He's lucky he even got that.

I hope you enjoyed it, kid.

That's the one and only time I intend to help you.

If you can't survive on your own after this,

then it means I was wrong about you...

and you're just a normal little brat.

Ahh...! That's bright!

What am I gonna do? I'm stuck up here!

Oh, I'm never gonna get down

and I'm still starving! Waaah!

Believe me. When his stomach rumbles loud enough,

he's gonna find a way down.

He kept Gohan out all night

and didn't even bother calling once!

Uh... It's been so long since he's seen all of his friends,

he probably just lost track of time, you know...

Then, decided to spend the night with Master Roshi.

Well, that's still just poor parenting!

Gohan has his schoolwork to think about!

Come on, missing one day's not that big of a deal, is it?

Yeah? But where does it stop?

First it's just a single day,

then the next thing you know, my son's a homeless bum!

Ahh... Chichi!

Ahh... There, that should do it.

Hey, guys! Hop to! I think I got it working!

Listen! I have been up all night,

and I am a little bit irritable right now!

You do not want to get on my bad side this morning!

Now, then... let's try this again...

"Hop to, guys!"

Uhh... hop where?

Come on... stand up so I can put this baby through its paces.

I changed the characters in the display

to make it easier to read.

Ah! One-thirty-nine!

One-thirty...?

Oh, no, Bulma, I'm much older than that!

It's not your age, it's your strength.

Your "power level" or whatever.

It can tell you that just by lookin' at me?

Wow... That's an amazing device!

One-Thirty-Nine, that sounds tough to beat!

Okay, okay, c'mon, my turn!

What's my number, Bulma?

Hmm...?

How 'bout that? Two-Oh-Six!

Hey! I'm stronger than you!

"The student has surpassed the master!"

Wha... Hold on...! You sure you fixed it?

Not to brag, but I am sort of a whiz at this stuff.

Hey!

Hey!

Yeah, "hey" yourself... Who is that?

You ever heard'a knockin'?

Shut up.

Huh... Oh yeah, I remember you.

You're, um, eh... uh... What's your name again?

It's Yajirobe! You know that!

Now quit askin' stupid questions!

Listen, Korin told me to tell you to come

to the tower for special training.

Ah! Wait, as in the Korin?

"Hey, look at me. I'm know-it-all Korin"

That's the guy. And he wants you to bring Yamcha...

and Ten-somebody, and uh... Chow-whatever.

Oh... You mean Tien and Chiaotzu, right?

Not me...?

Did I say you? Just get over to Korin Tower and stuff...

I'm training with you, too.

What? Really?

Yeah... Crazy, huh...?

I told Korin "there's no way I'm fightin' any stupid aliens",

and he went through the roof!

I thought he was gonna kill me. He's serious.

Wow! It, uh... sounds like we don't have a choice.

You don't... or at least I didn't.

But I don't care. Do whatever you want!

Oh, wait... I almost forgot.

Don't wish Goku back to life with the Dragon Balls

until the Saiyans arrive one year from now!

What...? But... But why?

Beats me...

Somethin' about "special training in the Other World"

or somethin' like that.

Some lady named Baba's supposed to come by later

to tell you the rest. So just ask her.

Later losers!

Wait...! Baba's coming... out here?

So, what's Goku doing again?

No idea...

Huh...?

Hey, uh... I think he might be coming back.

Hello there! Master Roshi!

It's good to see you! Hello everybody!

Ahh...! It's Ox King! And he's with Chichi!

This is bad, right? What do we do?

Roshi?

Well, I guess it's too late to write that letter.

Master Roshi! It's been far too long!

Ha ha ha... How are you teacher?

I hope the years are treating you well.

Uh... So far so good... Years...

Alright, where are they? I know they're here somewhere!

Start talking!

Well uh... They're a... It's like this...

Huh?

You guys let that Piccolo monster take my son?

You're saying Goku had to– I mean– That he's, uh...!

He's... kinda dead.

Ah! Chichi! Oh, get the smelling salts, Krillin.

This is stupid. I don't even know how I got up here.

Hm?

Why do I still have a shadow when it's night time?

Wow...! That's the biggest moon ever! It's so bright!

It must be a full moon!

I've never seen one of those before...

Huh? What the...?

If he keeps this up, the Earth will be destroyed

before the Saiyans even get here!

But, how do I stop him?

Don't play dumb! You must know!

You've lived on this planet your entire life!

The full moon is key to unlocking

a Saiyan's true potential!

That's it! The full moon...

They need the moon!

So that's the secret of the Saiyans' power.

It's that tail of theirs...

Somehow it gives them the ability

to transform at a full moon.

If that's the case, it's probably for the best

that I destroyed it.

If a boy did this much damage,

I hate to think what the other two Saiyans

would have done when they arrived.

But now, without the moon, they won't be able to transform.

And we'll be on a more level playing field.

In fact, we have an advantage now...

because we know that their tails are a weak point.

Which means right now,

the kid's tail is only a liability.

There. Now you need some new clothes. Maybe a sword.

I suppose I could at least provide you with that much.

The clothes are like your fathers.

"Demon" But the symbol shows you're from my camp.

That's it. I've already done more for you than I intended.

I don't have time to baby-sit you any longer.

I have my own training to do.

If you can survive out here for six months on your own,

you'll see me again...

And then you'll see what you're made of

when your real training begins.

Because once you learn what I have in store for you,

I promise... you are gonna wish that you had died.

The Earth's fighters are one step closer

to being prepared for the Saiyans' arrival.

But for son and father alike,

a long, hard road still lies ahead!

Next Dragon Ball Z Kai!

Hey, it's me, Goku!

I'm getting closer and closer to the end of Snake Way!

Oh? Well I hope you make good "serpen-time"...!

Huh?

Get it? Like "serpentine"...

"Serpent", "Time"... oh, I'm too much...

Are you King Kai?

'Cause I was expecting someone a little more serious...

Next time, on Dragon Ball Z Kai:

Wow... my Dad sure is strong!

The End of Snake Way!

King Kai's Bizarre Test!
