Last Dragon Ball Z Kai...

As Goku continued his intense training,

Krillin, Gohan, and Bulma reclaimed a Dragon Ball from Vegeta,

enraging the ruthless Saiyan in the process.

Meanwhile, Frieza's special reinforcements closed in on Planet Namek.

Vegeta may be able to run...

but once the Ginyu Force brings their cutting-edge Scouters,

try though he might, he can't hide...

The Countdown to Battle Begins!

Enter, the Ginyu Force!

Feels like we've been flying forever...

How much farther do we have to go?

Well... I'd say we're just about halfway there...

The Grand Elder's not doing well.

I sure hope he can hold out.

Only one thing to do...

We're gonna have to risk picking up the pace quite a bit...

I think we're far enough out now that

Vegeta may not notice the spike in our power levels.

I say we go for it...

He'll have his hands full once my Dad gets here, which should be really soon.

That settles it, then.

Let's ratchet ourself up to full power!

Yeah!

At this rate we ought to reach the Grand Elder's place in about an hour or so.

There they are!

Must be at full power...

Kakarot's brat and the bald pipsqueak; I can sense them.

But, then... why aren't they heading towards me?

With their radar, they can easily pinpoint the Dragon Balls in my possession.

I don't know what sort of game they're playing...

But this may be my only chance at wringing the last Dragon Ball out of them.

I can't let it slip through my fingers.

I think I'll take this one with me...

Just in case their lady friend is lurking about to take the others while I'm away...

This way she won't get all seven.

Nobody plays Vegeta for a fool!

Nobody!

You're about to learn that the hard way!

9,999...

10,000.

Hey! How about that? I don't feel worn out!

You'd think there'd be a little soreness or something.

Still, I think that should just about do it for training.

Time to save up my strength with a little R&R.

I probably ought to let my body re-adjust to normal gravity while I'm at it, too.

Whoa...

I don't believe this!

Normal gravity is a piece of cake!

This is awesome!

I mean it feels like I've barely got both feet on the ground, I'm so light!

I'm as light as a feather! Woo-hoo!

I'm as weightless as a jellyfish swimming in the ocean!

And the best part is...

I'm not only light, I'm as solid as a brick wall!

I bet my body could withstand a 9x Kaio-ken.

Heck, maybe even a 10x Kaio-ken!

SHAMPOO

SHAMPOO

We don't want the bad guys being able to smell me before they can see me, right?

Bombs away!

That was relaxing.

What I've got to do now is catch some shut-eye, but before that...

A little refreshment.

Let's see now...

Oh, wait, that's not gonna work.

It's way too bitter. Ah, there we go.

Bulma's Dad's own specially formulated sports drink!

This ought to really hit the spot. Oh yeah!

Sleeping like a baby, Goku had yet to realize that his brutal training at 100x gravity

had increased his strength to an unprecedented level,

far exceeding the normal Saiyan capabilities.

Hang in there, Gohan.

The Grand Elder's place is up ahead.

We'll be there soon.

Right!

As strong as Gohan'll be once the Grand Elder boosts his powers,

this whole plan might still just be wishful thinking on my part.

I'm not sure anyone can take on Vegeta alone.

The guy's a monster.

It's like there's no ceiling on how powerful he can get.

Even with Gohan at full capacity,

the smartest thing we could do after seeing the Grand Elder is to wait for Goku to get here.

That's right, vermin. I'm right on top of you now!

Gohan, it's straight ahead!

You see it? That strange-looking mountain!

That's what we're headed for!

Looks like we're in the home stretch!

No, wait!

There's a huge power level coming up right behind us!

It can't be!

Don't tell me... that's Vegeta?

Gohan...

I'm going to try and stall him as long as I can.

You go on ahead to the Grand Elder's place.

– What are you? – Don't argue! Just go get stronger!

'Kay!

All right, I'll just do whatever I can.

That speed!

Hey.

I... I-I'm a little surprised you risked trying to track us down.

Then you're a fool.

I tend to thrive when the stakes are high.

Now, let's dispense with the chat.

I believe you have something of mine that you'd be well advised to give back

if you value your life.

Don't think I don't know.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Keep playing dumb.

Let's see how far you're willing to take it.

This is incredible.

What in the...

That mountain is where Kakarot's son flew off to, isn't it?

But there's more to it than meets the eye.

Is that where you've hidden the ball you stole from me?

Uh... No, it's uh...

Damn it, wait!

Such reserves of strength the child has locked within.

You are an Earthling, are you not?

No disrespect, sir,

But if you could hurry up, that'd be grea–

He has come, Grand Elder.

What is this place supposed to be?

Wait! Don't go in there! Vegeta!

Leave us.

And what if I don't?

Yes! Gohan's power level just seriously spiked!

I see. Kakarot himself must be holed up in there.

Then let today be the day we settle our score!

Come on out here!

Fight me coward!

What?

It... It's you! What the hell's going on?

What were you up to in there?

Why did your power level suddenly shoot up?

So...

you think after whatever trick you pulled in there, you're strong enough to lock horns with me?

Really?

Trust me kid, you're still light years away from

being able to tangle with someone who knows how to fight.

Stepping up?

Grand Elder, no!

Dende...

– Um, Yes? – You...

You must go outside and tell them...

Tell them there's a great power approaching Planet Namek...

the size of which is truly staggering–

But what is it, sir?

Hurry, child!

Right!

Wait! Please!

The Grand Elder says there's something really, really powerful that's about to land on the planet!

What?

Grand Elder? Who in the hell is that?

Hey! He's right! I can totally sense it!

Wow! He wasn't kidding, they are strong.

Yeah. And you know what?

We might be in luck, 'cause who else can it be but Goku?

What?

Well, I don't know.

I mean, it feels like there's more than one.

No, it– it can't!

1... 2... 3... 4, 5.

It... it is them!

Frieza summoned the Ginyu Force to this ball of dirt?

Damn it!

Look, I don't have time to play with you brats.

Hand over the Dragon Ball!

No, I won't! You don't scare me!

I'll make a deal with you.

Give back the Dragon Ball and I promise I won't lay a finger on you or your friends!

Things are about to turn very ugly for all of us, unless we act right now!

As if we'd be dumb enough to fall for that!

You want us to take your word for it?

Why should we trust someone like you?

All right, listen up, I'll explain this once.

Imagine someone as strong as I've become since our first meeting.

Wait, no. No, someone even stronger...

Now imagine that there are five of these monsters!

Five with Scouters that'll hone in on us from halfway across the planet,

and who aren't here to make friends!

You... You're just making all this up!

Idiot! Can't you sense their power?

This is the only course open to us!

I'm telling you, our only hope for beating the Ginyu Force is for me to become immortal!

He may actually be telling the truth.

I can sense it.

Whoever they are, there are five, and they're hostile.

Damn it!

Fine then...

Why not make Gohan immortal?

Are you kidding? The boy has no tactical experience!

We might as well appoint a ladybug to defend us!

If we do this, then we...

We'll waste the one wish we came here for!

You get more than one.

The Dragon Balls will grant you three.

With two to spare, surely you can all achieve what you came here for.

Wow, that... that kind of changes everything.

So... we get three?

Oh, come on already!

Great, so we get three wishes instead of one!

The longer you stand there in awe, the less we time we have to act!

Wait, let's be absolutely clear...

The Dragon Balls here...

they'll actually grant us a total of three wishes?

Indeed.

All right, then.

C'mon. But you've gotta keep your promise about never laying a finger on us!

Hey, wait up!

This is crazy!

Don't dawdle! Use your full power!

They've left, I take it?

Yes, Grand Elder.

But even if their strategy bears fruit, the odds are stacked against them.

You really think so?

Nail...

Your talents are better used elsewhere.

Go forth. The earthlings need you.

– But, sir– – It's fine.

You needn't worry about me.

There's some life in this decrepit body yet.

As you wish, Grand Elder.

And there they are, precisely on schedule.

Theatrical as always. Let the pageant begin.

How much further? The Ginyu Force just landed!

Keep your shirt on. We're almost there.

Why do bad things happen to good people?

This is exactly what I mean! Hey!

Sorry, Bulma.

We had to stop by and pick this up really quick.

Finally! Now I take the lead. Come on!

Hold on a second! What are you doing?

I said hold on!

Oh seriously!

Somebody throw me a bone for crying out loud!

You can't just swoop down and take off again

like I'm not good enough to know what the plan is, you jerks!

I won't be ignored!

Fine. Be that way.

I'm Recoome!

I am...

Burter!

I'm Jeice!

Guldo!

Ginyu!

Five!

As!

One!

To–!

–gether!

We are the Ginyu Force!

My... what an entrance.

The Ginyu Force has burst onto the scene ready to do Frieza's bidding.

Are they really as fearsome as Vegeta says,

or is this merely a ploy to dupe Krillin and Gohan out of the seventh Dragon Ball

and horde all three wishes for himself?

Whatever becomes of the unlikely alliance between them,

the race continues, next Dragon Ball Z Kai!

Hey, it's me, Goku!

So this is Planet Namek, huh?

I've never felt the kind of power these Ginyu Force creeps have.

It's unbelievable.

Still though, I think the one called Guldo might fall pretty hard if we team up.

Whaddya think, Gohan?

Wanna show 'em what we've got?

Yeah! Especially now that my power's been boosted up!

Next time on Dragon Ball Z Kai:

First Up for the Ginyu Force!

Is it me, or are these guys just plain weird?

Guldo's Time Freeze!
