Akira Toriyama's Original Cut

Last time on Dragon Ball Z Kai...

Having finally returned from Snake Way,

Goku easily took control of the battle with Nappa.

That was my...

My ultimate technique, and he just...

That's enough, Nappa.

Back down!

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

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.

The Power of the Kaio-Ken!

Goku vs. Vegeta!

This is stupid!

I can't believe I have to turn over your execution to Vegeta.

But orders are orders. Vegeta will finish you off.

Still, I can't just walk away without destroying someone!

Gohan! Krillin! I gotta move!

I'm not gonna make it in time!

Kaio-ken!

What?

That really really hurt!

He won't be able to fight anymore...

Take your injured friend and leave this planet.

Just go back to where you came from, right now.

What did I just witness?

For just a split second, his speed and power skyrocketed.

Goku, how did you do that?

Was that one of the new techniques that you learned

from King Kai while you were off training?

Yeah...

It's called the Kaio-ken.

By controlling every ounce of energy in your body,

you can amplify it for a short burst...

When you do it correctly, your power, speed,

destructive force and defensive force can all be increased a lot.

That's awesome!

As strong as you already are,

you mean you can make yourself even stronger, just like that?

That's right.

Goku, why do you tease us?

This isn't a good time to be playing around...

If you had that trick up your sleeve the whole time,

then you should've used it right away!

Sorry, but that wasn't an option.

If I don't stay in complete control while I'm boosting my energy,

then I could really mess myself up.

Y'see...

Now listen carefully...

At your level you simply cannot use the Kaio-ken too much at any one time.

If at any point in the process you lose control, you could severely harm your body...

That's why you should raise your power to no more than double.

Performing a Kaio-ken at more than double your power

will put too much strain on your body.

In other words, your body won't be able to keep up with the Kaio-ken

and the entire move will end up backfiring on you.

I understand.

That's about it.

That's crazy!

Vegeta... please... help me.

Thank you boss...

Sure...

What's wrong with you? Vegeta! Vegeta!

I have no use for a paralyzed Saiyan...

You're dead weight now!

Wow! What power!

Dad, Dad, make it stop!

The wind! Can't even open my eyes!

Die!

Ve-Vegeta!

He... he's... he's psycho!

He just killed his own partner for no reason!

Gohan, Krillin...

I want both of you to go back to Master Roshi's house right now, understand?

Yeah... We get it...

You heard what your dad said, Gohan... Come on, let's go.

Uh... But... I... I...

You saw what this guy can do. He's too much for us...

If we stick around here, we aren't gonna be any help.

All we'll end up doing is making Goku worry about us

rather than concentrating on beating that stupid Saiyan!

But Dad... are you sure?

Sorry Gohan... but Krillin's right.

This guy's stronger than I originally thought he would be.

'Kay, fine... I guess I understand.

Oh, right, Goku...

I was wondering if there's a way you could move this fight to another location.

I don't think our friends will appreciate if their bodies get blown up...

before we have a chance to wish 'em back to life.

Wish them back to life?

But Piccolo's dead, which means Kami is too...

I hate to say it, Krillin...

but the Dragon Balls are gone forever...

There's no way they'll ever be able to have another chance at life.

I'm not sure... we'll see about that.

Wait... are you... are you talking about?

What? What's that?

Don't worry Goku. I'll explain later.

Just promise me this, okay?

That you'll beat that guy and come back alive!

Come back alive... Right...

Well then, I don't have much of a choice now, do I, guys?

I'll do my best.

Let's get on with it!

What happened to all that enthusiasm you had?

Are you just going to run away like a little baby?

Alright then...

I'll try to lure him as far away from this place as I possibly can.

I'll be seeing the two of you really soon.

One last thing... I'm sorry we have to...

leave our fate... to you alone, but...

Don't you even think about dying on me, friend.

Right.

Be careful, Dad.

Gohan.

Whadda ya say once I finish this business here...

how about you and I go fishing together?

Yeah!

I take it you realize there's no use in running away...

Let's finish this someplace else.

Fine by me...

Makes no difference.

Good... luck, Dad.

I shouldn't be surprised...

He's about as confident as they come.

Gohan...

Hey, Gohan!

Yeah?

We'd better hurry back to Master Roshi's.

Worrying about it's not going to help things...

It's out of our hands now.

We've turned the fate of the world over to him.

It's gonna be okay!

I'm sure Goku will beat that guy, no sweat!

Hey, look...

Let's head home to a nice cooked meal and show your mom you're alright.

Right!

This spot should do.

From what I can tell, there's no people or animals nearby.

Interesting...

Of all the places on your planet, you choose this as your gravesite.

You should feel lucky.

Not every low-class warrior gets the chance to spar with a super-elite like myself.

Not long after Saiyans are born their skills as a soldier are tested.

The scum whose scores are ranked the lowest are sent to the outer worlds

where the opponents are weak, much like you were, Kakarot...

In other words...

You were cast out like a dog!

Yes, and as a result I was lucky enough to come here to Earth.

I'm grateful for that. Besides...

Maybe even a lower-class outcast can surpass an elite if he puts his mind to it.

That's a nice attempt at a joke.

Now let me show you a wall you will never have the ability to scale...

through effort alone!

What's wrong, Kakarot?

Surely you can put up a better fight than this!

I saw you exert more effort when you were fighting Nappa, so why not me?

Let's see it!

Impressive...

We've just begun to fight and already his speed and technique have far surpassed mine.

This is exciting.

Now show me!

Come on...

Have you used all that strength you've been hiding?

You wanna see?

Fine then!

Kaio-ken!

If that's the limit of what you have to offer, then I'm sorely disappointed!

This guy's brutal!

Then again...

For all the trouble I'm facing...

I'm beginning to get more excited!

He's laughing!

Has he lost his mind or has he given up all hope?

Perhaps he can raise his power even higher,

and he's trying to disguise it.

Come on! Are you done already?

I guess you're all talk then, huh?

In that case allow me to show you something before you die...

The overwhelming power of a Saiyan super-elite!

Soon you'll follow your friends into oblivion!

No way! His power's incredible! It's like the whole planet is shaking!

This wind's like... a hurricane!

That's strange, the wind just stopped...

Wait, all of the clouds have disappeared too!

It's done... Kakarot.

Hey stupid! Behind you!

Kaio-ken... x2!

Aha! Well done, you dodged it...

Of course I made that one easy...

After all, it wouldn't be any fun if you died right away.

Damn...

His speed and power are unreal!

Even my x2 Kaio-ken isn't enough to keep up with him.

That leaves only one thing.

This may destroy my body but it's better than dying...

My only choice is to go Kaio-ken x3!

I'd already gotten this close, so "sure" I said, "I'll stay and watch."

But I never expected to see this!

Both Goku and that Saiyan jerk are so strong!

It's really freakin' me out!

Alright... So the big question is...

How long will my body be able to hold out once I go Kaio-ken x3?

Why the hesitation?

Your move, Kakarot!

It's my only option at this point...

I'll have to pull out all the stops just to survive!

No more of those trick moves up your sleeve?

Not that they would do you much good.

Even among the other Saiyans...

I was always the most powerful by far.

I don't care if you've trained every minute of your entire life for this...

You will always and forever be a low-ranked outcast and nothing more.

Uh oh! That Saiyan has Goku over a barrel!

Maybe now's a good time to bug outta here.

I mean, I could help him, but what good would it do?

Yeah, time to go.

Uh, besides I'm starting to get hungry and nothing's worth missing a meal over.

Body, don't fail me now!

Kaio-ken x3!

No! No!

I told you not to go over 2x power!

What are you thinking?

Well I guess...

It didn't really look like Goku was going to win...

Especially against a guy that powerful!

This battle... may be over.

Hey... What's the matter?

What? Did something happen, Bulma?

It's probably coming from Goku...

But the power level I'm reading is...

Well... it's shooting up like crazy!

Goku?

Are you serious?

It's 17...

19,000... 21,0-...

It's broken!

Oh great...

Wha... What the?

Goku defies the teachings of King Kai and uses the Kaio-ken x3!

Will his body be able to withstand this onslaught of power?

Next Dragon Ball Z Kai!

Hey, it's me, Goku!

My body's really taking a beating from using the Kaio-ken x3.

How is your power level higher than mine?

I'll have to do something about that!

Looks like I'll have to finish him off with a Spirit Bomb.

I'm ending this now, Vegeta!

That's what I was going to say!

I was hoping not to use this, but it's time I went all out!

Next time on Dragon Ball Z Kai:

I'm gonna fight too, Dad!

An All-Out Kamehame-Ha!

Vegeta's Terrible Transformation!
