20th Anniversary Commemorative Rebroadcast

Akira Toriyama's Original Cut

Last time on Dragon Ball Z Kai...

The first full moon Gohan had ever seen

transformed him into a fearsome Saiyan Ape.

In this wild and savage form,

Gohan's powers posed a threat

to friend and foe alike,

so to put an end to the rampage,

Piccolo destroyed the moon.

He then removed Gohan's tail, the source of his Saiyan power.

I've already done more for you than I intended.

I don't have time to baby-sit you any longer.

Now, after six short months,

Gohan's real training begins today!

The End of Snake Way!

King Kai's Bizarre Test!

Food!

Alright!

Oh, hi. It's you again.

You back for more, huh?

You missed me!

'Kay...! I'm gonna chop some meat off your tail now!

Wow...

Looks like you'll be all out of tail pretty soon.

Good... He's improving faster than I'd thought.

Phew! How much farther is it to King Kai's place?

Tell ya what, with all of us fighting together like this...

those Saiyans don't stand a chance in hell.

Heh... That's right. We'll be ready for 'em.

'Specially after we train with Kami.

Mm-Hmm...

Heh... You've managed to survive for six months.

And I can see you've learned a lot in that time.

But, you're still not a fighter.

Your real training begins now. Ready?

What's wrong?

Never lose sight of your target!

I couldn't see you. You were moving too fast.

Your eyes will lie. Try to feel it.

I did feel it. That's the problem...

Aww...

I was sure I'd be able to see the end by now! Oh man!

Mm-Hmm...

Phew... Hmm...?

Hey, all right!

I reached the tail!

Woo-hoo! I really did it!

Whoo!

Ah...

There's nothing here!

You've got to be kidding me!

Huh... What's that up there?

That's it!

That must be where King Kai lives!

It's just gotta be!

Yahoo!

This is the place.

I made it!

Huh...?

Hey...! What's the matter with the ground here?

This is crazy!

The more I try to fight against it,

the harder it seems to pull me back down!

It's... no use...!

My body feels like it's completely filled with lead!

Damn!

I came this far...

I can't give up! Just a little more...

Almost there...!

I've got... to get... to King Kai!

Come on, Goku...! You can do it...!

Keep going...! One step at a time!

Huh...?

But before I keep going, I should get a bite to eat.

You must be King Kai, right?

You're not really what I expected.

Well, he is supposed to be the best.

Greetings, great master King Kai...

My name is Goku,

and I've traveled a great distance to meet you.

I must learn of your martial arts.

Please Mr. King Kai, I really beg of you!

I mean, if you're not too busy.

Huh...?

Uhh... So that's the training, huh?

I guess he wants me to do whatever he does.

Hey, King Kai!

Why do I feel so heavy in this place?

Is this supposed to help me with that?

Oh yeah right, monkey noises...

Hey... That looks fun.

Can I try?

Huh...?

Hmm...

Uhh...

Looks like I've got a weird one on my hands.

KES MONKEY SOUNDS]

Hey! That looks fun. Can I try?

Hey... Wait a sec...

Who are you supposed to be?

Who, am I?

Well, now...!

If you're itching for a laugh...

Speaking of which...

I'm your guy!

I'm King Kai!

Ahh...!

But... then... who's that?

Him...? Oh, that's just my pet monkey, Bubbles.

Right...

I thought he was you! Funny, huh?

I'd say you're more 'odd' than 'funny.'

I'm funny.

Huh...?

I'm sure you gathered that

from my clever little rhyme there.

It's not too late to laugh if you need to.

Laugh...? At what?

I see... Poor boy...

You're delirious from your journey.

Hm. I guess I shouldn't have led with the high-brow stuff.

Tell you what, I'll try again.

Something a little bit more... up your alley.

Uhh...

Hold on! It's King Kai, can I help you?

What...? My refrigerator...? Yes, it runs!

Hilarious!

Yeah...? What is?

What did you come here for, anyway?

Oh, well... I was told you were the best, sir.

So I was hoping you would train me!

Train you?

You call that defending?

Huh...?

You're worthless in battle

unless you can control your energy!

Now get back up and try again!

Train, huh...?

If you're serious... then okay.

I am serious!

However!

You have to pass my test... before we start.

Huh...?

Yes... You must tell a clever joke that will make me laugh.

But I should warn you, my sense of humor is very refined.

What...?

I've never told a joke in my life!

Well, you'll have to try

if you want to train under a Master like me.

And make it a good one!

Something I've never heard before.

Well...? Come on!

Uhh... Umm... Oh...

Of course, if this is too hard for you...

you can head back home right now!

The... clock said...

My hands are tied!

Like... a clock's hands...?

That's not bad...

Ahh... It's working!

A harp...

is a naked piano!

I sold my car... for gas money!

Wow...! I did it! You laughed...!

That means you have to train me!

C'mon, we had a deal, right?

Sold my car... for gas money...!

Ridiculous...!

I know you said you'd never told a joke,

but you're pretty good at this!

You passed the test. I will train you.

Now, for your first lesson

I'll tell you... my best joke yet!

Uh, But, I passed. We're done.

Can't we start the martial arts stuff now?

You're here for martial arts?

Why didn't you say so in the first place?

Fine...! Try coming at me.

I hope you're as good at fighting as you are at comedy.

What's wrong?

Sorry, it's just... ever since I got here...

my body feels so heavy,

I'm sorta having a hard time moving.

Hah! Where did you come from, anyway?

Oh yeah, Earth, right?

Yep, uh-huh...

Well, no wonder you feel so heavy...

The gravity on this planet's a lot stronger

than what you're used to.

Ten times stronger, in fact...

It's amazing you're standing at all!

Do you... you're not following me, are you?

Uhh...

Okay, let's try something else.

Jump as high as you can.

Damn... It's no use!

I can barely get myself off the ground!

Whoa...!

Ten times his own planet's gravity

and he can still jump that high?

Impressive... this guy shows some promise.

Ahh...

Before we begin,

I'll need to work out your training regimen.

How long do you plan on staying here?

Uhh...

Well... I'm not sure how many days I was on Snake Way,

but I don't think I have that much time.

See... the Saiyans are on their way to my planet.

When they get there,

everyone I know is in a lot of trouble.

Nobody on Earth is powerful enough to stand up to them.

So, that's why I need to spend

every single second I have left training to beat them!

The Saiyans, huh...? They're a nasty bunch.

I sure wouldn't wanna tangle with them.

Mm-Mmm... No sir...

Huh...?

But we still need to know how much time you have.

Let me check and see where the Saiyans are now.

No doubt about it. That's them, alright.

Judging by their speed and current location,

I'd say they're due to arrive on Earth in...

One hundred and fifty eight days.

That soon...?

But how could you possibly be able to tell that?

These antennae get all the channels, baby...!

Like a TV...? Get it?

I just couldn't help being funny!

Uhh...

If you don't have a sense of humor...

I will not train you.

Oh, I get it now!

Good.

But... If you're sure they'll get to Earth

in a hundred and fifty eight days,

I don't have enough time! Do I...?

Well... I'd like more...

but I still think we'll be able to make it work.

Really?

Think of it this way, it's like the gravity...

Everything is multiplied here.

One hundred fifty-eight days with me

is worth years of training back on Earth.

That's awesome!

However...

Even the best training doesn't guarantee

that you'll beat the Saiyans...

Just know that now...

In particular, the two who are on their way to Earth

are among the strongest

and most ruthless warriors in the universe.

To be perfectly frank,

these Saiyans are even more powerful than me.

Ahh... They are...? Are you kidding?

No, not this time.

If you're to stand any chance of beating them,

that means your powers will have to surpass mine

by the time you leave here.

Your work's cut out for you!

Uhh...

Well... I suppose we should get started.

Bubbles...!

Come over here, please!

Uhh...

First thing's first...

You'll need to get accustomed to the increased gravity here.

So your first exercise is to catch Bubbles.

I'll warn you, you'll have to be quick; he's pretty spry.

If you can't at least do that,

you might as well just give up now.

Sure... Whatever you say.

Okay, Bubbles... Get moving!

Wait!

Slow... down!

Stupid monkey! This is impossible!

Stop!

Okay... That's it!

You're goin' down!

Ohh...!

That's better.

I'm... so... gonna... catch... you!

I didn't realize he was already wearing weighted training gear!

There's no way you're gonna get away from me this time!

And so, at long last,

Goku's intense physical training has begun!

Will he ever be able to overcome the ten-times gravity

on this tiny little planet...?

Or will his training with King Kai come to an end

almost as quickly as it started?

Only time will tell. But time is running out!

One hundred fifty eight days remain

until the Saiyans reach planet Earth.

The clock is ticking, next Dragon Ball Z Kai!

Hey! It's me, Goku!

Man, I'm in big trouble if I can't catch that monkey!

No, you'll never do it like that!

It's like it says right here on this can of orange juice..

Concentrate!

Huh?

You should leave your weights on!

You'll get more out of it that way.

Okay, now that's funny!

Next time on Dragon Ball Z Kai:

Gee, I sure hope my Dad is still okay...

The Battle With Ten-Times Gravity!

Goku's Race Against the Clock!
