Akira Toriyama's Original Cut

Last Dragon Ball Z Kai...

The Saiyans have arrived!

Time to find out whether Goku's intense training with King Kai

will give him the strength he needs to withstand these powerful foes.

Back on Earth, Goku's friends have used the Dragon Balls to wish him back to life.

But before Goku can join them on the battlefield,

he first has to reach the end of Snake Way!

Will he make it in time?

The race is on, now!

Yamcha's Struggle!

The Terrible Saibamen!

Who are they?

What are they?

They call this place Earth, right?

It's not as bad as I was expecting.

Yeah... but before we start with the sight-seeing,

how 'bout we say hello to the locals?

Go easy on 'em.

What the... dammit...

It must be them...

What have those monsters done?

Oh man!

Whoa... This is intense.

I don't think I made a big enough impression.

Maybe I should try again.

It'd be best if we left it at that, Nappa.

The more damage we do now, the less of a price we'll get when we sell this planet.

Oh, right.

Well, that's fine.

We should probably start looking for those

what-cha-macallit Balls that grant wishes anyway.

They're called Dragon Balls...

And the first thing we need to do is find the one who killed Raditz

and extract a little information about their whereabouts.

Oh yeah...

Now of course, if the Dragon Balls were being held somewhere in this vicinity...

Then our chance to wish for eternal life...

just went up in smoke.

Now, didn't it?

All because you had to "say hello."

S-Sorry Vegeta...

Guess I really wasn't thinkin'...

It won't happen again.

Forget about it. What's done is done.

Now, let's try to scope out the highest power level on this planet.

Finding the one who killed Raditz should be as simple as that.

Huh...? That's strange...

According to my Scouter, there are multiple readings for power levels over 1,000.

Why would there be so many of 'em?

Just take it easy...

There's no reason for us to be alarmed.

As I said, we find the one with the highest power level and go after him.

I got him!

Looks like two fairly high readings right next to each other.

Yes... Seems you're right.

What do you say we go have some fun?

The cause behind the large-scale earthquake is still unknown to authorities at this time.

Reports are flooding in that attempts to contact Metro East,

which is in the epicenter, have been unsuccessful,

causing grave concern for those within the city.

No...

No, it's the Saiyans, they've arrived!

Let's go then...

This thing'll tell us exactly where they are.

Did you see what just happened?

There's no way I'm going with you!

Wait... I'll go with you Bulma!

I'm sure Yamcha will be there, and he'll need all the help he can get!

Hold on now... We better not...

It wouldn't be a good idea...

Our power levels are much too weak for us to be effective.

Our best bet is to stay here and just hope for the best.

Oh, Goku...

Where are you?

We need you, Goku!

Hold on guys. I'm coming as fast as I can!

This is fantastic!

Compared to Planet Vegeta, the gravity here's next to nothing!

Makes flying around a breeze!

Here they come...

Man, they are movin' fast.

They're heading in the direction of those other two big powers.

That must be Piccolo and Gohan.

Gohan... Be ready.

They're coming right for us.

Right.

Chiaotzu, go find a safe place to hide, okay?

No way...! I'm coming, too!

There is nothing to fear.

Remember, compared to one year ago,

you and I have managed to increase our power ten-fold.

I'm ready.

There's someone else closing in from that direction!

And there, too! Feels like they've got us surrounded!

Wait, so you mean there are more than two Saiyans coming for us?

Look out, they're here!

Hey...! Long time no see... Piccolo.

Oh, it's just you, huh?

And what exactly do you think you're doing?

You do know that you're just gonna get in the way.

Heh... Then again,

I'm guessing you won't be the only fool taking part in this.

Right... The whole gang's coming.

I just happened to be the one who's closest to where you were.

I remember now...

You're the one I saw at Master Roshi's place, right?

Huh...? Yeah, the name's Krillin.

You sure have bulked up since the last time I saw you...

Almost exactly like Goku, when he was your age.

Heh... And you grew up with my dad, didn't you?

He told me lots of stories from back then.

So you're the one who used to train to make up for being short!

Hold on... Goku told you what now?

Hey you two... enough of your small talk!

They're here!

Look at what we found.

Three pathetic insects doing their best to look tough.

You can give them credit for one thing.

They at least seem to know who we are.

It looks like they've been waiting for us.

I'll say this once.

Forget whatever business you have here and leave this planet.

This is your first and last chance to get out of this alive.

That voice! I see...

You're the lucky one who was able to kill Raditz.

How do you?

Come now, didn't Raditz tell you?

Hmm...?

Our Scouters also work as communicators.

Huh...?

Hey, I think the green one's a Namekian.

Yes, no doubt about it...

It almost makes sense in a way that Raditz would've had a hard time with the likes of him.

Okay, so what's a Namekian?

Not only are they known to have above-average power levels,

Namekians are said to have mysterious hidden abilities as well.

So... I'm one of these... Namekians?

I've also heard that a chosen few are capable of performing tricks,

almost like a magician...

Aha...!

You must be the one who created these Dragon Balls...

Aren't you?

No way!

How could those two know about the Dragon Balls?

We not only know about 'em, it's the main reason we're here.

Now just hand 'em over, nice and easy...

Your friend here may be Namekian...

but you're bugs to us;

and you're gonna be crushed beneath our Saiyan power.

Ha... Is that right?

I guess I should start by thanking you for teaching me about my ancestry.

But, you're wrong about two things...

Firstly, I had no hand in making the Dragon Balls.

As you can see...

I'm more of a warrior than a simple magician.

And you're wrong if you think your "Saiyan power" will save you from me!

Oh, Kami.

I... I had no idea...

For the first time in my life, I have heard about my origin.

Now I know why I have always possessed special powers... Yes.

It's true... I'm the one who created the Dragon Balls...

a very long time ago.

It all makes sense now.

I attempted to create the Dragon Balls in answer to a deep yearning.

When I finally succeeded, I felt as if I had made it home.

Or rather, as if a piece of home had found its way to me.

Oh, and Nappa? Take off your Scouter.

What?

These pests are able to raise and lower their power levels in response to their opponent.

Which makes our Scouters totally unreliable.

Ah... Right, good thinking, Vegeta.

I remember now, that's how that weakling Raditz got himself killed.

He got fooled by his Scouter's readings and lowered his guard.

Raditz? Isn't he the Saiyan that was so tough that you and Goku had to team up on him?

And still you were just barely able to beat him?

They're calling him weak?

Alright... Enough talking.

Let's see how these pests handle themselves in action.

Hey, Nappa...

We still have six of those Saibamen left, don't we?

Get them ready, would you?

Ah, Vegeta...

You and your twisted sense of humor.

S-Saibamen?

What... are they?

Yep, looks like six it is.

This soil should do nicely.

Soon you'll be telling us everything we wanna hear.

Woah... What the heck are they doing?

There.

Eugh... They're gross!

But, at least they're shorter than I am...

Your targets are the three in front of you.

Give them a once over, Saibamen.

Gohan... Do not lose your nerve.

Right.

It's about time we go on the offensive!

Krillin!

Huh...?

Tien, hey!

And Chiaotzu... You came too?

Mm-hmm...

I was under the impression there were only two Saiyans.

Well... a lot's happened.

Now there's eight.

Two, eight, makes no difference to me...

So who's the kid?

I assume that's Goku's little boy?

Yeah... Piccolo here's done a good job of training him.

What's up?

Sorry I'm a bit late.

Hey, Yamcha!

Looks like everyone's here but Goku, huh?

One... Two... Three... Four... Five... and Six.

Interesting...

That's the exact same number of Saibamen we have.

What do you say...?

Each of you can take turns fighting one of our Saibamen.

Let's see what happens.

You know... a game...

We're not here to play games!

And we're not going to fight on your terms...!

We'll take you all on at once!

Whoa... Whoa... Easy now...

Maybe it's not such a bad idea after all.

This game can buy us some time until Goku gets here.

I'm up for it.

These little creeps don't scare me.

I could use a good warm up.

That's the spirit! Fresh meat for the grinder...!

But give it a minute...

you won't be so cocky when you see what these 'little creeps' can do.

You'll be going first. Hit him as hard as you can.

Got it?

Yeah! Heh... Heh...

Oh yeah, that'll show 'em, Tien!

Awesome!

There's no way!

A Saibaman's power level is 1200!

Every one of these guys is supposed to be about as strong as Raditz was!

All that means, is that the three-eyed freak here is stronger.

B-But I...

A simple miscalculation.

But the data says...

It's fine...

If anything, it should make our little game even more entertaining.

Vegeta... Wh-What was... that for?

He made the grave mistake of underestimating his opponent.

And I believe I specifically told him to hold nothing back.

Man... That guy's a creep.

He's ruthless...

If this is the way he treats his allies...

don't expect he'll be showing any mercy to his enemies...

Now... Who wants to be next?

Uh... Yeah... I'm ready for ya.

Hold on, Krillin.

Yamcha?

Let me have a crack at 'em.

I think it's time I showed these thugs that no one comes to Earth and pushes us around.

But Yamcha... I'm just as capable of...

You've already been wished back with the Dragon Balls before.

I haven't.

So, if anything bad does happen, at least we know that I can be revived, right?

Let me take care of this one...

I'm gonna wipe out all five of 'em at once.

Aw, look at the friends. How precious...

Well...? What are you waiting for?

All right then...

Let's get this over with! C'mon!

I don't know why, but I've got a bad feeling all of a sudden.

Hold out for as long as you can, Piccolo...

I won't slow down until I'm there. I promise!

They... vanished!

Wrong, Gohan. They're just moving incredibly fast.

Try to feel out their energies, like I taught you!

Feel... their energy?

Come on... You're the only one who can't see them.

What...? Everyone but me?

Concentrate... Let your body take in your surroundings.

See with my body, not my eyes.

See them now?

I see them!

Got him!

No... way.

–Alright, that's it! –Yes, way to go!

Woah... Did you see that?

Now that's what I'm talking about!

Not again!

It looks like these little Saibamen of yours

aren't nearly as powerful as you made them out to be.

Ah...! Why you...!

Easy, Nappa.

I'll save my friends the trouble and take care of the last four by myself.

Now that, I'd like to see.

Too bad I won't get the chance.

What?

Get off!

No... Fight him...

Yamcha, no!

There...

Now that's more like it.

Th-The thing's insane!

It just blew itself up!

Is he...?

Guys... We lost him.

Yamcha, no! Tell me it's not true!

Please Yamcha, get up!

Please!

Yamcha! Yamcha!

Yamcha!

No!

You must've had a feeling somethin' like this would happen, huh?

That's why you insisted on going before me...

Damn it!

Why'd you have to go and get yourself killed, you stupid jerk!

What am I s'posed to tell Puar and Bulma, huh?

What in the hell was that Saibaman thinkin'?

I don't wanna see a draw!

I wanna see a win!

C'mon, let's go to the next round!

Calm down, Nappa.

Now let's give 'em a moment to clear this trash off the battlefield.

How dare you!

Everyone... stand back!

'Kay buddy...

This one's for you.

I won't let you down...

I'm gonna make them pay... for what they did!

The Saiyans have claimed their first casualty. Yamcha...

Anguished by the loss of his friend,

Krillin's fury is about to be unleashed...

Next Dragon Ball Z Kai!

Hey, it's me, Goku!

I still have a little ways to go, so hang in there, everyone!

Chiaotzu, why in the world would you wanna fight one of those monsters?

Chiaotzu, no!

Ngh...

I'll do everything in my power to avenge your sacrifice, Chiaotzu!

Take this, Saiyans!

It's all I've got!

Next time on Dragon Ball Z Kai:

Hurry up, dad, we need you!

Sit Tight, Chiaotzu!

Tien's Screaming Tri-Beam!
