Akira Toriyama's Original Cut

Last time on Dragon Ball Z Kai...

Goku learned of his Saiyan brother, Raditz,

and for the first time,

the hero also learned what it meant to be utterly helpless.

– Daddy! Get up! – Not so fast!

So like I said... I'll be taking your son.

And if you want to see him alive...

you'll do what your big brother tells you.

Goku's battle to save his son, begins now!

A Life or Death Battle!

Goku and Piccolo's Desperate Attack!

Only now that it's too late do you understand what it means to face a Saiyan.

I tried to warn you, brother.

I asked you to see reason, but you refused to listen...

and for that, you die.

And even if we don't, there's still two more Saiyans out there, right?

So what?

Personally, I find the prospect exciting.

Yeah, you would...

But exciting's probably not the word I'd use right now.

To be completely honest, I'm pretty terrified.

Yes, I don't blame you!

I suppose I'd feel the same way if I ever found myself staring death in the face.

I'm done listening to this! Where's my son?

Where have you hidden him? Tell me!

I haven't hidden him anywhere.

He was annoying me with his crying, so I shut him up.

I tucked him away in my space pod, in the crater behind you.

In there, huh?

Gohan...

Help Daddy! I-I want out! Save me! Daddy!

Just hang on, Gohan!

Daddy's gonna get you outta there really soon, I promise!

Don't get the boy's hopes up!

You know that's a promise you can't keep.

You'd have to get through me first, and you know that won't happen!

Fine, let's do this.

Good, 'cause I'm sick of this talk!

Geez...

What? Where'd he go?

I'm right here.

Damn...

Hey, are you okay, Piccolo?

Don't worry... It's not as bad as it looks...

I only need one arm to fight.

Who are you kidding? You're half-dead already!

Hey, Goku.

I suppose you don't have any new tricks up your sleeve that you've been holding back?

Yeah, I wish... Sorry, I've got nothin'.

Hah! You've been slacking.

Lucky for you, I've spent the last few months perfecting a new attack.

What are you two whispering about...

some new "strategy", perhaps? Please...

Why don't you die already and quit wasting my time?

Can you do this attack with only one arm?

Yeah, that's not a problem.

But I will need some time to charge up my energy.

A few minutes, that's all.

You'll have to find a way to keep him occupied until I'm ready...

You think you can do that?

You got it.

Ironically, I'd been saving this attack to kill you.

And now you might end up using it to save me, huh?

Then consider it a preview.

If we do manage to beat this guy, you're next.

Alright, you've got yourself a deal.

After we win, I'll let you take your best shot!

Aren't you persistent?

Ka...

me...

Huh? His power level's rising...

ha...

me...

What? And his too!

His power level's shot up to 1020...

and it's still climbing!

ha!

Fine! Let's have it!

He deflected it!

Neat, huh? Now, can you do the same?

Power Level... 1330?

Somehow, he's concentrating all of his energy into his fingertips!

They've been holding back! They can alter their power levels at will!

Die, Saiyan!

Makankosappo!

He... He dodged it!

Congratulations, you actually managed to give me a little scratch...

And for that, you will pay dearly!

See you in hell!

You let your guard down.

Now I've got you by the tail!

How did you manage to...

Now, Piccolo! I've got him!

Hurry up and charge your attack again!

Well done, Goku! Now hold him still.

Don't let go no matter what!

I only have enough energy to use this technique once more.

Kakarot, please. Would you really kill your only brother?

Your... Your own flesh and blood?

Shut up! We've already been through all this.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't have a brother!

Especially not one as horrible as you...

Besides, you tried to kill me first!

Yes... Yes, you're right!

You've shown me the error of my ways!

Let me go, and I'll leave you and your son in peace!

Don't be fooled, Goku! He's lying!

He doesn't mean a word of what he's saying!

There's no way he'll just leave quietly now!

Please, believe me, brother!

It's true, I've done some horrible things. I realize that.

You're right to be cautious. I will leave as I say.

I promise. On my life, I promise!

Do you mean that?

I do! I swear it!

No, Goku! Don't let go of his tail!

This is all a ploy!

Please, Kakarot! You have to believe me! I'm begging you!

Goku!

You fool!

In all my travels, I've never met anyone as stupid as you!

You lied!

Of course I did. I'm a first-class warrior,

I do what it takes to survive, without hesitation,

even if that means killing my own brother.

Shall I prove it to you?

Here!

And so you remember, I'll kill you nice and slow.

Well go on, what are you waiting for?

Let's see your little attack.

Dammit, I can't. He'll just dodge it again.

What?

What? What is this?

Impossible...

Gohan!

Run! Run away! Gohan!

Run! Gohan! Run!

His power level...

It's at... 1307?

You stop hurting... my daddy!

G-Gohan?

Daddy!

Did you?

You're hurt, daddy?

You... You brat!

Go! Run away!

Go, son! Fast as you can!

Hurry! Please! Just go!

What? You're kidding...

Now his power level has dropped down to 1?

Yes, that's got to be it.

It changes with his emotions.

Run, Gohan!

Gohan!

Gohan!

No, stop! Don't do it, please!

He's... He's just a...

just a child, is that what you're going to say?

Don't make me laugh.

This child has a far greater power level than either one of you.

It's best that I kill him now, before he learns how to use it.

But don't worry, brother. You'll see your son again...

in the next world.

No! Wait!

To think, this puny little brat is the first opponent

who's ever caused me any real damage on the battlefield.

An embarrassment I will soon erase...

Now die!

Why, you little...

Piccolo! Quick! Your attack!

Do it! Do it now!

Finally! It's about time you decided to make your move!

Now... hold him!

It's almost ready!

Hurry, Piccolo!

I can't... keep this up for long!

Are you really this stupid? Let go!

If you're standing right behind me when he fires, the blast will kill you too!

Then I guess that's the way it's gonna have to be.

What? Are you insane?

Your son! Think about him!

I am! This is the only way to defeat you!

Alright, Goku...

If that's what you want, I won't hold back.

It's no secret I've wanted you dead for a long time.

I won't pass up this chance!

Wait! Please let me go! I was wrong, I'm sorry!

Release me! I'll leave this planet!

Right... Forget it. I won't fall for that again.

I mean it this time! Please!

Don't you trust the word of your own brother?

Piccolo! Hurry up!

Sorry to keep you waiting...

Are you ready, Goku?

Do it!

Right!

Stop!

Makankosappo!

No!

How did... this happen?

H-How could I lose... to these... fools?

Kakarot... I didn't think... he'd do it...

just... throw away his own... his own life...

Don't worry, I doubt Goku will stay dead for long.

What?

You heard me.

On this planet, we have these things called the Dragon Balls.

Gather all seven, and together they have the power to grant any wish.

Even if that's bringing someone dead back to life.

You can all go to hell.

Still... I... thank you for the information.

Everything that's happened here today...

has... been transmitted to... my...

two Saiyan comrades, deep in outer space.

What?

When they've learn that I've been killed... they...

they'll come... to... avenge me...

They'll wipe you out...

you... and every living thing on this planet!

You won't have a chance.

You're as good as dead already!

The other Saiyans...

When... When will they be here?

One year... One short year...

Two of them... even stronger... than him?

How sweet does... that victory taste now?

They'll... soon have you writhing...

in agony like the worms you are.

You thought that was funny, huh?

Well we'll just see who has the last laugh when it's all said and done.

It's over.

He's dead.

Oh no... Only one of them's still standing!

Who? Which one is it?

It's Piccolo!

Hmph... Raditz... Got himself killed.

Serves him right. Pathetic.

If he can't handle a couple of puny fighters with power levels less than 1,000...

So what now?

Should we put this planet on hold and head for Earth?

Did you catch the last bit?

Those things...

"Dragon Balls", I believe?

Yeah... They said they could grant any wish, right?

I'd say that's worth investigating.

Maybe we can bring Raditz back to life.

Is that a joke?

Why would we waste a wish on that worthless scum?

If the story is true, we can have anything we want.

Immortality. Eternal youth. Think you could live with those?

We could be the most unstoppable force in the universe.

I like it. Yeah, I'm in!

That's everything.

– Goku! – Ah... I see.

Goku! C'mon... you with me?

Can you hear me, buddy? Oh no!

I think Gohan's gonna be okay...

Looks like he just got knocked for a loop.

Good... He's safe.

– Hey, man... – Goku!

Chi-Chi'd... prob'ly kill me... if he got hurt.

Oh, Goku...

Kr-Krillin...

This... dying... it's not...

Hey, what the heck are you talking about?

No one's dying here!

You're gonna be fine, you got that?

No... No, not this time.

I'm too... far gone.

Well... don't you worry...

We'll find the Dragon Balls and wish you back!

Sounds... good...

Goku... Goku!

Goku has made the ultimate sacrifice to defeat Raditz.

However, a new threat approaches...

Can the Earth survive, without its greatest hero?

Hey, it's me, Goku!

Wow, so I'm really in Other World, huh?

What?

You want permission to go train with King Kai?

Woah! It's King Yemma!

Hmm... Well I suppose you can go, if you must.

But it won't be easy.

Don't blame me if you fall off Snake Way.

Next time on Dragon Ball Z Kai:

Run in the Afterlife, Goku!

The One Million Mile Snake Way!

Daddy, the mean green man is scaring me...

I wanna go home!
