Hey! It's me, Goku!

Goku.

We've got some serious trouble on our hands down here.

And now these Ginyu guys have the Dragon Balls, too!

We just barely managed to get by the one named Guldo.

But these others are just too strong!

Where are you, Dad?

Hurry up, Goku! We need you!

Just hang on, guys. I'm almost there!

I... I have a feeling the real hell is about to begin.

The Nightmare Recoome!

Come Out and Play, Vegeta!

Oh, damn it all!

I should be more careful.

I can't afford to lose one of these...

Nope... Frieza wouldn't like that one bit.

My turn, Vegeta...

Whadda ya' say...? Let's do this thing.

Your little friends can play, too...

Come at me all at once if you want, I don't care.

Those cheap tricks you used on Guldo aren't gonna work on me.

Hey, easy Recoome...!

Don't go killin' 'em all off yourself...

We get the two runts, remember?

Jerk...!

I hate these guys...!

Now you–!

Feel the power–!

Of–! Recoome!

Hey... Burter...

You reading what I'm reading?

Looks like Vegeta's power level just shot up by over 30,000.

Get down!

This ends now!

He... He did it...

Wow... That wasn't even a contest...

It's scary how strong Vegeta's gotten.

He totally blew that guy away!

No wait... there... you feel that?

That power...! It's him...! He's alive!

No. That's crazy...

He couldn't be... right?

Hi!

Whoa... No way...!

And he's laughing...? You mean, he took all that and...

and it... didn't even faze him?

All right...! Good warm-up... Now let's go!

There he goes again, trying to show off in front of the weaklings.

Meanwhile, we get covered in dust.

I'm definitely going to send him the cleaning bill.

So, you ready to play for real, Vegeta?

Recoome... Kick!

No...! Vegeta!

That's not bad, Vegeta.

You've got some good moves, but let's see how tough you really are.

Recoome... Elbow!

Get him!

Too slow!

Good...! That was a really nice try... But–!

You lose!

Hey there... Vegeta...? You still with me?

You haven't gone and kicked the bucket on me yet, have ya'...?

Is it over?

Right! Ups-a-daisy...!

Oh no...

Now you're fightin' dirty... Just the way I like it.

Here it comes... Recoome's gonna go wild.

He always does... This could get ugly.

If you got any more moves you wanna try, now's the time...

Otherwise, I'm gonna go ahead an' kill you. Okay?

Damn it... Is there no stopping him...?

I knew he was strong, but this...

This is ridiculous!

He's just been toying with me...

Shrugging off my attacks like they were nothing!

If I don't think of something, and quickly...

I'm as good as dead!

Gohan...

Yeah...?

Listen... If Vegeta goes down here...

Then those freaks are gonna come after next...

And... And when they do... we can't beat 'em...

We won't have a chance.

At this point...

I'm thinking it's all or nothing...

You with me?

Yeah. Right!

It's time...! To...! Die!

Bye...! Real nice knowin' ya, Vegeta.

'Kay... Ready...? It's... now or never...

I doubt Vegeta has enough strength left to dodge another one of the big guy's attacks.

He's a goner unless we get him out of there!

Right!

Recoome...

Eraser... Gun!

Vegeta!

Brat...! Get off me...!

Do you really think I needed your help?

Fools...! What good did saving me accomplish...? Huh...?

You... You could've used that opening to attack Recoome instead!

Stupid!

Your complete lack of battle-sense makes me want to throw up!

Check out the size of that crater...

Man... if any of us'd taken that shot full force...

I don't wanna think about it.

Little sneak attack... Not bad.

You surprised me.

That pop you gave me on the top of my head made me close my mouth...

I got a feelin'...

I'm gonna be pretty upset next time I look in a mirror.

Hey...! Jeice...! Burter!

Do me a favor and let me take the little ones, too...!

Okay...? Please...? C'mon, you don't mind, do ya?

Guess we're screwed...

All right...! Go ahead–take 'em all...! They're yours...

But later... you're treating me and Jeice to hot chocolate sundaes, you got it?

Awesome!

You heard 'im, maggot. You're all mine now.

Recoome... Kick!

Krillin!

C'mon, please be okay!

Oh... wow...

You know... I think he just...

broke every bone in my body...

with that... one kick.

He's just... too strong...

It's not fair...

Even after the Grand Elder... raised my power

I'm still... com... pletely worthless...

Don't say that, Krillin...!

You have to hold on...!

Please, you have to!

No... It's okay... It's... It's over...

They're... too... strong... Too... fast...

And they... have... all of the Dragon Balls...

There's nothing we can do.

Aw...! I goofed, didn't I...?

Guess I should'a eased back on the power some...!

I was hopin' I'd get to toy around with him a little longer.

You know... really have some fun!

You... big jerk...! This...

This isn't over...! I'm not giving up yet!

Well... You will!

Dad... Where are you...?

No. Like I said–I'm not giving up!

Outstanding, Captain Ginyu, simply outstanding.

Once again, you have exceeded my expectations.

Not only did you recover all seven Dragon Balls, but you did it with such apparent ease

that I'm upset with myself for not having called your men in sooner.

Praise from you is high praise, indeed, Lord Frieza.

Nothing could fill me with greater pride.

At last, eternal life will be mine!

It's right here, in the palm of my hand.

I want to savor the moment!

This calls for a special performance, to commemorate the occasion.

In your honor... The Dance of Joy!

– Feel the joy!

Um.. Perhaps you could do that for me the next time.

Whatever you say.

I still can't believe it, my dream of immortality is about to come true!

I don't mind admitting it to you...

I'm a bit excited!

And why not?

In a few seconds, you'll cement your place as supreme ruler of the universe, forever!

Now... my Dragon Balls...!

I, Frieza, command you to grant my wish of immortality and eternal youth!

What is this...?

This deep foreboding I sense...

The Grand Elder... He's in danger...

The evil ones will come for him soon, I know it...

Forgive me, Earthlings...

But I'm afraid I have a greater duty that I must uphold!

Strange... Nothing's happening, is it...

Maybe it's already done. Do you feel immortal?

No... No, I don't think so...

Why...? What's wrong?

Here... just take it, if that's what you want...

It's not going to do you any good, anyway...

Even if you outworlders gather all seven, you'll never be able to unlock their power!

Of course...!

What that second Namekian Elder said when I took his Dragon Ball from him.

At the time, I thought he was just being a sore loser...

But he said, "You outworlders" will never unlock their power...

"You outworlders!"

There must some sort of key required to use the Dragon Balls!

Some secret ritual or something known only to the Namekians,

that will unlock their power and grant wishes!

So, what is it...? A password...?

A location...? Some specific way of arranging the balls?

I need a Namekian here! Now!

That may be a slight problem.

Are there even any Namekians left?

Well, I just found Vegeta and the others...

I suppose it's possible that he or one of his little friends

might have the answers we need...

In that case, I'll call off my men right away,

and tell them to bring them back for questioning!

Oh...? Hmm, wait. Redirect your Scouter to coordinate 8829401.

If I'm not mistaken,

I'm reading what would appear to be two more Namekians...

And as a bonus,

there's also a third reading moving towards their location.

Since we've never attacked that area,

it seems these three have been lucky enough to escape our attention until now.

Just leave it to me.

I'll track 'em down and force 'em to tell me how to make the Dragon Balls grant your wish.

No, that won't be necessary.

I think it would be best if I talked to them myself.

After all, in my time here,

I've managed to gain quite a bit of experience dealing with the natives.

While I'm gone, I will trust you to watch the Dragon Balls.

Right...! You can count on me...!

I will guard them with my life!

Good luck, Lord Frieza!

Now... you're mine, Namekians...!

Right...! Here we go!

Recoome... Bomber!

Oh! Here I am!

Just... stay down... Gohan... please...

I've... gotta be strong... like Dad...

He'd... keep... fighting...

I won't... I won't give up...!

Well...! Look'it you! Still comin'...!

You're a tough one!

Guess they grow 'em stubborn on your planet, huh?

Ha...! And I should know...! I'm stubborn too!

I won't quit...! I won't let you win...!

So much for that one...

His power level just crashed down to zero.

What'd you expect? I heard his neck snap from here.

Gohan...

That... pathetic little runt...

And... here I thought he'd actually... gained some strength...

What a gyp... You guys were all just a bunch of pushovers.

Seriously, I didn't even get a chance to break a sweat!

I don't know why Frieza'd even bother callin' in the Ginyu Force to deal with you losers...

Guess I'll just finish you all off and be done with it.

What...?

It's landing...

At last, Goku's ship has touched down on Planet Namek!

But with Gohan and the others hanging on by a thread,

has our hero arrived too late?

Find out–next Dragon Ball Z Kai!

Hey! It's me, Goku!

Gohan! Krillin! I'm sorry I cut it so close there, but everything's okay now.

I'll take care of all three of these guys, don't you worry.

Impossible!

Kakarot's power level has gone up exponentially!

Somehow, he's surpassed his own Saiyan limitations!

Next time on Dragon Ball Z Kai:

Wow! My dad really is the greatest!

Goku Arrives at Last!

Take Down the Ginyu Force!
