Akira Toriyama's Original Cut

Last time on Dragon Ball Z Kai...

Goku completed his journey down Snake Way to reach King Kai!

But before his real training can begin,

Goku must learn to overcome the intense

gravity on King Kai's planet– by chasing a monkey!

Only one-hundred fifty eight days

remain until the Saiyans arrive.

Will Goku be ready in time?

His quest continues–now!

The Battle with Ten-Times Gravity!

Goku's Race Against the Clock!

I can't believe the way this boy

just wolfs it down...

His table etiquette leaves something to be desired.

Hey! You're gonna eat me outta house and home!

No, I'm saving that for desert!

Saving it for desert, that's good!

Wait, you're kidding, right?

Those really hit the spot...

Not very tasty...

But beggars can't be choosers–

That's gratitude for you...

You could try showing some respect.

You are a guest in my home, you know.

Yeah, um... Don't you... well...

Don'tcha ever get bored with this place...?

It's such a tiny little world.

Ah, youth.

To the enlightened mind, this "tiny little world"

contains a whole universe of fascinating diversions.

For example,

I can contemplate a single blade of grass endlessly,

marvel at the vastness of the sky... Pee for distance...

Oh, yes. But the most recent hobby I've taken up?

Toolin' around in this baby.

That was fun.

Uh...

Break-time's over, heh, heh!

Back to monkey-chasin'...

That is, of course, unless you've

changed your mind

about my training you in the Martial Arts.

Oh, my mind hasn't changed...

Alright, here goes nothin'.

Uh, just a moment.

Before you go tearing off,

put those weighted clothes you had earlier back on.

You'll get more out of it that way.

But I can barely run as it is...

If I put those clothes back on, I won't stand a chance!

Well... Would you like to know a secret...?

The world where the Saiyans came from...

had roughly the same gravity as here...

To them, what I've asked of you would be a walk in the park.

How else do you think they built themselves up?

Not to say that's all there is to it, of course...

You see, Saiyans are born with an

innate ability to fight–

almost a sixth-sense for battle, if you will...

That's what makes them so remarkably dangerous.

Hey, that's okay...!

After all, I'm a Saiyan too!

Uh...!

Nice little jab, there...

But who said you were done?

Help! Please!

I don't know how to swim! I'll drown!

Believe me,

drowning is the least of your worries!

So far, his true power only shows itself under a full moon,

which means I'll have to push him even harder.

Well it would seem that the last six months

have wrung the cry-baby outta you, at least.

Hey, is it really true that you and my dad used to

fight each other a long time ago?

That fight is far from over, believe me...

Once the Saiyans are defeated– if they're defeated...

I intend to pick up where we left off.

Yeah, but my dad used to tell me...

He said ever since you were reborn,

you're not nearly as bad as you used to be.

He said now you're more grumpy than evil.

Argh...

I don't know–I think he was kinda right...

But... I mean my mom is still totally scared of you and all.

Stop blabbering and go to sleep...!

If you think today's training was hard,

wait till you get a load of

what I've got in store for you tomorrow!

Um, yes sir...

Impudent little brat.

And so it was,

that three weeks of intense training

came and went...

seemingly in the blink of an eye.

Ah, I love dim sum.

Well... like they say...

You dim sum... and you lose some!

I crack myself up!

Uh... Hello...? Is anyone even listening?

You can run, but you can't hide, furball!

I've got you now!

Lunch time...!

I've got a pile of pot-stickers here!

Monkey! Get back here!

Ah-hah...

Damn it!

Yeah... That's right, just keep laughin...

Alright! Enough of this!

My, someone's in high spirits, aren't they?

Ow! Ooh!

Get back here!

Watch it! There's a few things in this head you might actually

have to learn one day!

I gotta admit...

He's a slippery one, this guy...

But no monkey-brain's gonna get the best of me!

Ya hear that, Bubbles?

Wait... Hold on just a second.

That's it, of course...!

The tables are about to turn, Bubbles!

Surprise!

Like I said: you can run, but you can't hide!

I'm comin' to get ya!

Ah-ha! Where are you goin'?

The jig is up!

Huh?

Heh! I gotcha!

I did it! Yeah...!

I caught the monkey!

His energy is truly amazing, this one.

In practically no time at all,

the gravity of this planet has become nothing to him...

If he keeps this up, it's possible he may even

be able to master the Kaio-ken technique!

C'mon, what are you waiting for?

Dodging my hits once or twice gives you no right to be cocky.

Cause you're still soft!

Hey, what are you doing? Help me!

Heh.

If you can't get back up here on your own,

you might as well give up!

Hey...! Piccolo...! Piccolo...!

You there...? Listen...!

I know what you're trying to do!

I get it! You want me to learn to take care of myself!

Well, fine! I'll do your training!

Whatever you say!

But I'm not gonna quit!

You hear me, Piccolo?

Tien and Yamcha are getting

more and more incredible by the day!

Darn it, Yajirobe...!

Take this seriously!

Fine.

Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow- ow-ow-ow-ow-ow!

I did it!

I caught the monkey! I caught the monkey!

That wasn't nearly as hard

as I thought it would be–so now what?

Now then... Let me see...

Something tough... A real grind...

Yeah!

Try grinding some sesame seeds!

Okay, not that that isn't a laugh riot–

but if I don't start training soon,

the Saiyans will–

Naw! Now... Don't be over-hasty...

You've got a hundred and thirty-five days left.

But that's practically no time at all!

What was that?

It'll make a full circuit soon.

A full circuit...?

Oh, yeah.

Practically no time at all is time enough, my boy.

I've gotta remember that one!

You've got to be kiddin' me– no one is that strong!

How uncouth!

Huh...? Now what?

But... You're just a grasshopper...!

Ha! "Just," he says!

He's got a leg up on you.

I'm on a roll today!

You, sir...

are an ill-mannered clod!

And for your information, this "just a grasshopper"

goes by the name of Gregory... Jerk.

Uh huh...

Can't you see? You are in the presence of one of

the most powerful beings in the universe...

King Kai himself!

"Leg up"...

Oh that is just too rich! Because he's...

Uh, a-hem, yes, well as I was saying...

His strength is undeniable...!

And you dare to question it...?

There's only so much ignorance I can bear.

Right... You mean 'cause you're a grasshopper.

Bravo, Goku! Excellent comeback!

We'll make a comedian out of you yet!

King Kai, could you not laugh?

I'm trying to defend your honor!

Ah, what luck... This is perfect...

Since you've captured Bubbles, your next task is Gregory.

But, he's...

Don't even say it! You've no idea!

King Kai, sir...

No, uh, disrespect, but you're jokin', right?

Your greatness,

do you hear the way this idiot insults me...?

With your permission, sir,

I'd be happy to take him down a few notches–

and teach him a thing or two about respect.

Yes. Of course.

What's that for?

Uh, is it me, or...

does that thing seem a bit on the hefty side?

Here, Goku... Catch.

Come now... It's only a mallet.

The real challenge... will be to see if you can

swat our friend Gregory here with it, eh?

Seriously?

Once you've managed to do that,

your training with me will truly begin.

Now how's that sound?

Now you're talkin'!

This two-bit rookie couldn't catch a cold–

let alone someone as quick as moi.

Ahhhhh!

Argh!

Man, he's fast! Huh?

Damn!

Looks like I'll have plenty of time to prepare...

Come on, Bubbles.

That was just a lucky shot!

Oh, that is it!

Enjoy it now, grasshopper!

But just you wait 'til I get this

thing within striking distance of that skull!

Yeah, you better run!

Sorry!

Hey! Careful!

Well, at least he's got the right attitude...

Thank you, Bubbles.

I've got you now!

You little...!

I will become stronger than the Saiyans!

Damn it!

I am pleased to confess

that there is nothing left for us to teach you...

Without a doubt, you have far surpassed

both Mr. Popo and myself...

Return now to your homes and, hone the skills you have learned

until the fated day of conflict is upon us.

The future is in your hands.

Right!

Um, hey...

Can we get outta these heavy clothes now or what?

Yes; you may do as you wish.

I say we go and put the finishing touches on.

Yeah, at this rate I feel like we

can keep powering up forever!

We're invincible!

If we're invincible,

I can't wait to see what's become of Goku.

Meanwhile, after two weeks

of lugging an enormous hammer around...

Almost...

Huh?

You're mine!

This jerk won't let up!

Right... now...!

Huh?

Oh no!

Bedtime, Gregory!

Gotcha!

Hmm?

If I whacked you as hard as I could,

you'd be smushed.

Ha! Dream on, ape...!

My body is as tough as marble, I will have you know...

Good luck with the Saiyans if that's all you've got!

Really...? So...

That bump was already there...

Excellent.

And still a hundred and eighteen days left...

Could he really be the one? The student I've been waiting

for who can master my techniques?

Not only does he possess

the strength to perform the Kaio-ken...

he has the purity of heart

required to wield my most powerful attack–

the Spirit Bomb!

You're still gonna keep your promise, aren't you?

Make no mistake, boy,

this training will be more strenuous

than you can possibly imagine...!

Are you ready?

You bet I am!

Very well, Goku...

Expect nothing less of yourself than to be the best...

I want you to aspire to greatness, you hear...?

Greatness!

It's a deal.

Sister, I'd really appreciate it

if you'd tell us the future of the Earth.

Sure. No sweat...

Easiest thing in the world...

You don't have to look that far...

Just to next year.

Fine then... But you're gonna owe me.

That's odd... Either this thing

is on the fritz, or the Earth has no future.

Oh, no...

Yes. That's right... Focus your strength!

Learn to control your power!

Exactly what are these powerful techniques

that King Kai hopes to teach Goku?

And will they be enough to counter

the approaching Saiyan threat?

With each passing moment,

the Saiyans draw closer to Earth.

Ready or not, in one hundred eighteen short days,

the fate of the planet

will rest squarely on Goku's shoulders!

The Earth's greatest warriors prepare

for the fight of their lives–

next Dragon Ball Z Kai!

Hey! It's me, Goku!

Talk about being caught between a rock and a hard place.

Those nasty Saiyans get to Earth

ahead of schedule and yours truly

has got only one day to get back to Earth!

What the–What's going on?

Why is it getting so dark all of a sudden?

Next time on Dragon Ball Z Kai:

Shenron Appears!

The Saiyans Arrive Sooner Than Expected!

I wonder if Dad's strong enough to beat them yet.
