Akira Toriyama's Original Cut

On the last Dragon Ball Z Kai...

Gohan, Krillin, and Piccolo waged a desperate battle against Nappa,

hoping to buy what little time they could.

Meanwhile, Goku raced toward the battlefield on his Flying Nimbus...

But with the Earthlings' attacks against the Saiyans proving ineffective,

the hero's arrival may come too late...!

The Saiyans close in for the kill–

Now!

Farewell, Piccolo!

Goku's Furious Counterattack!

Why'd you do that?

Just run... Gohan... Before it's–

No...!

You can't die like this–not by saving me...!

Piccolo!

Da... Damn it, boy–run away...

While there's still time...

Forget about it!

I'm not gonna run away–not if it means leaving you here like this...

Just hold on... Dad's coming...

Ah, dang it...

I had intended on saving that one for last, but oh well...

I guess it's all the same in the end.

Someone's power is fading rapidly...

Someone's dying!

So this how my story ends, after all...

Goku couldn't make it in time to prevent Piccolo's death...

but in his last moments, my dark counterpart outshone even me...

An encouraging thought...

Kami, no!

What a sorry excuse I've become...

Me: Piccolo...

laying down his life to protect some whiny little pipsqueak...

Piccolo...

Gohan...

You're the only person I've ever known who didn't treat me like a monster...

Yeah, but my dad used to tell me...

He said ever since you were reborn, you're not nearly as bad as you used to be.

He said now you're more grumpy than evil.

I don't know–I think he was kinda right...

But... I mean my mom is still totally scared of you and all...

No fair...

You promised you wouldn't use your eye beams thing.

And what if I did...?

You can never trust your enemy, especially in a fight!

Yeah...? Well...

But you're not the enemy.

Tru... Truth be told, this last year... wasn't so bad...

Piccolo, please!

Thank you, Gohan.

No!

Take care, old friend...

I leave the rest to you.

Kami...!

Kami!

Alright...! Bring it on!

Masenko...!

Gohan...?

700... 1500...

What the...?

These Earthlings can hide their true strength–

Nappa, look out! The little one's power level has risen to 2,800!

That's more like it, boy!

Ha!

Hey, not a bad move there, kid...

That actually kinda stung.

You're just full of surprises, huh?

Hmm... Well, well... Heh.

His power's dropping like a stone now–the brat used it all on one shot.

Piccolo... I'm sorry...

I tried to avenge you...

Run! Get out of there! He's gonna kill you!

Be sure to tell your dead friends I said hello.

No, Krillin.

I just don't have the strength anymore...

Ahh... don't worry about it kiddo,

'cause when your dad sees you crushed to a bloody pulp–

I'll be sure and tell him how noble you were!

N-Nimbus...?

It's my dad!

He made it.

Nice of you to drop by.

Still, I'm a little embarrassed for you, I have to admit...

I mean, I sincerely hope you didn't come all this way–

back from the dead even–believing you stood any chance against us...

That would be a shame.

What happened to him?

He died... trying to protect me from them.

Tien...

Yamcha...

Does seein' these losers dead send your blood pressure through the roof...?

There was another one around here somewhere–

but I guess there wouldn't be much left of him now.

A strong little runt.

You might say he went out with a bit of a bang.

Those bastards! They killed Chiaotzu...!

And now Kami, too...? Damn it!

Hey, look on the bright side–no need to grieve...

You're all about to be reunited!

And here you've gone through all the trouble of coming back to life...

His power level's increasing exponentially!

Somebody's eager...

You really miss 'em that much?

Well you'll get no argument from me.

And he's fast!

This way, buddy...

Krillin...

W-Welcome back.

Sorry it took me so long...

But hey... You two held your own, huh...?

Here you go...

Eat up–I want each of you to take half.

A Senzu Bean...?

I... I didn't think Korin had any left...

You're lookin' at the last one.

You eat it, then.

It would just be wasted on me.

Don't talk like that–

I had one on the way here anyhow.

Trust me, you'll wanna hold onto it...

You know, just in case...

Besides, even at the top of my game, I'm pretty much useless against these guys.

Yeah, well I've got the bean, so it's my decision...

If you don't eat half I'm gonna throw it away...

Come on.

Thanks, Goku.

Okay, now. You too.

Krillin...! You've gotten a lot more powerful this last year, huh?

Yeah, I thought so too, before we actually started to fight...

Then it felt like the best I had in me was some kinda joke...

They died... All of them...

It's a miracle any of us even survived.

Gohan, I barely recognized you at first...

Heh... You've been trainin' really hard, haven't ya?

That's right, I've been training all year with Piccolo...

He was teaching me to be strong like you are...

But now... He's gone...

And that means we can't use the Dragon Balls to bring him or anyone else back to life...

I say it's payback time, right...?

There's three of us, two of them...

Yeah...! And hey...

You've been training with the great King Kai...

With all that goin' for us, well...

we should be able to take down at least one of 'em, don't'cha think?

Yeah.

Only thing, though...

You two aren't part of the equation...

This is my fight... Don't try to interfere...

I want the both of you sittin' on the sidelines.

But that... That's nuts...!

Look, you may have gotten super strong...

But these freaks... They're unreal...!

You can't even imagine what they're capable of...!

You can't take 'em by yourself!

Dad, you gotta listen...! He's right!

Goku...

Where are you going? Dad!

Wait–it might not be a good idea to get in his way...

What's he gonna do?

I've never seen Goku so angry before...

He's like a different guy...

I don't think there is a place for us in this fight, Gohan...

Oh, no.

You do not wanna make that face at me...

Unless that's the look you wanna greet your friends with on the other side!

This ends now...

And you're gonna pay!

Dad's power, it's...

It's awesome!

7,000...

8,000... No...

This... This is impossible!

Vegeta...!

What does the Scouter say about his power level?

It's over 8,000... ugh!

8,000...?

Come on, that can't be right... it must be broken, or something!

You're going down...

And I doubt I'll even have to use the Kaio-ken against you.

Kaio-ken...?

You don't scare me!

Nobody but nobody intimidates the mighty Nappa!

What?

How... How did he do that?

How'd you get back there?

You... You...!

You know, as much as you puffed yourself up, I'm kinda disappointed.

What did you say?

Are you...

Are you tryin' to tell me I'm all bark and no bite?

If that flailin' around was your idea of an attack, then yeah.

Oh really...

Then maybe you should teach me a thing or two!

How strange...

To think that his power could increase so much now,

when he was more or less an equal to Raditz...

Over here!

Um...

Okay, that I didn't even see... Did you?

But, wow...

I refuse to believe this...

How could anyone gain so much power in such a short amount of time?

Just so you know...

That was for Chiaotzu.

Damn you!

And this... is for Yamcha!

Filthy, arrogant, wretched little...

Sc... Scu... Scum sucking pig!

Ha...! Seriously?

Huh?

What the...?

Is this possible... he just dodged it with a powerful shout?

That was luck!

This one's for Tien!

What's wrong with me...!

How can Kakarot be so much more powerful...?

Wait, no...!

And this one is for Piccolo!

Wow! Look at him go...!

He's invincible...! Goku!

Yay Dad!

Keep it up!

Bastard!

You're gonna die!

That's some strength...

I'd be more impressed if you knew what to do with it, though.

I am a member of an elite warrior class...!

I will not be made a fool of by some bottom-feeder!

You'll be beggin' for death by the time I'm done with you!

Nappa! Use your head...!

Don't let his nonchalant attitude get under your skin–

that's what's giving him the advantage!

Calm down and think!

You're right. Thanks, Vegeta.

I've got to stay level-headed...

Almost lost my composure...

Brick-headed, spastic...

The way things are going I'll have to step in.

I gotta hand it to ya;

pretty sneaky move there, gettin' me all worked up...

That's not gonna fly from here on out, though...

From here on out, I'm a machine.

Now that's what I like to hear...

Show me what'cha got.

You sure like to talk big, don't ya?

It's not just talk, you idiot...

Any halfwit could see he's got the confidence to back it up.

Whoa... Okay.

What are they doing?

I can see you!

Whoa... You weren't kiddin'!

This is much more like it!

Much more like it, huh...?

You're about to have those words crammed right back down your throat...

Compliments of my own.

He's a freak of nature–

no one with their head on straight would try to strike back so quickly at such close range!

If I had taken that blast full-on, I might've been in pretty bad shape.

But that was my...

My ultimate technique, and he just brushed it aside...!

Like some kind of old plaything...

You really are a tough one, huh...?

The Kamehameha should've done at least a little bit of damage to ya...

Neither of us are gonna make much headway at this rate.

That's enough, Nappa.

Back down...!

I believe the traitor has proven himself to be your match.

What?

Don't give me that look!

Thanks to your monumental incompetence,

it seems I have no choice but to step in and finish this myself.

I think the shorter one's done just standin' by...

Man, I don't like this–even the big guy's scared of him.

The true test of Goku's skills... Vegeta...

Next Dragon Ball Z Kai!

Hey! It's me, Goku!

Some of my best friends have fallen because of this Vegeta guy...

Be grateful!

Nobody like you gets a one-in-a-million chance

to be schooled by a warrior so out of his league!

I hate to break it to ya, pal,

but this nobody's about to move to the head of the class.

Then prepare to be given a lesson in humility!

Next time on Dragon Ball Z Kai:

The Power of the Kaio-Ken!

Goku vs. Vegeta!

That's it! You show him, Dad!
