Last time on Dragon Ball Z Kai...

When Gohan transformed into a giant Saiyan Ape,

and dealt a major blow to Vegeta,

victory seemed within reach.

Beaten and badly injured,

Vegeta struggled to reach his spaceship in an attempt to escape...

But Krillin had other plans.

You monster... You killed my friends.

Now it's your turn!

Dawn of a Fierce Battle!

The Star of Hope is Piccolo's Homeland!

Whew! What a relief!

They had me worried for a minute there.

I know that I'm not really supposed to take sides...

but that Saiyan was a menace to the entire universe.

Someone as evil as that is bound to get a taste of his own medicine sooner or later.

It was just a matter of time.

But still...

no one will be safe until the root of this evil is cut off at the source.

This is not over yet.

Die!

Krillin, don't do it!

G... Goku?

Woah... Why am I hearing voices,

and why don't they want me to kill the Saiyan?

Goku... That was you, right?

Yeah... it was me...

Sorry, but I still can't talk very loud...

Please... Krillin... It's over... so... stop...

Please just let the Saiyan go.

You gotta be kidding me!

Four of our friends are dead because of him

and you want to let him get into his spaceship

and fly away like nothing ever happened?

If we don't finish him now,

he's gonna lay low until he has his strength back

and then come here, wipe out the rest of humanity!

You're right... He probably will.

He will!

Piccolo may've had a change of heart,

but this guy's pure evil!

People like him don't change.

If we let him live, he'll just keep on hurting people!

And I don't want him to have that opportunity.

I know... I know how strong he is, and how much damage he can do.

As long as he's alive, nobody on earth is safe.

But you've got to listen to me.

This might sound crazy... in fact, I'm sure it does...

but just now, when it looked like you were about to kill him,

I couldn't help but think...

"It'd be such a waste."

Wha... what are you talking about?

After I finished training with King Kai in Other World,

I thought I'd gotten as strong as I could possibly get.

Then I saw Vegeta fight...

and he's so much faster, so much more powerful than me.

The things he was capable of, it... it was overwhelming!

But I've got to admit, deep down I was pretty excited.

Maybe it's because I'm a Saiyan too, but when I see somebody who's that strong...

my heart starts racing,

because I realize I still have farther to go.

It makes me want to train myself even harder...

to push myself to their level.

Krillin... I know it's wrong, but please, let him go... for me.

I need to be able to fight him again someday!

Okay, then...

I don't like it, but if you say we should let him live, that's enough for me.

After all, if it wasn't for you, we'd be all dead right now...

But you gotta promise me something...

The next time you fight this guy, I want you to make him regret that he was ever born!

Yeah... You got it.

Well... It's about time for me to make my exit...

But this isn't over, not by a long shot...

and there won't be a miracle to save you next time...

That... I can personally guarantee!

You okay, Gohan?

It's all over now.

Whew... Alright, guess my work here is done!

What's Baldy's deal? He just let him go!

No way he woulda gotten away from me like that!

I wouldn't have been so nice!

Thanks, Krillin. I know that wasn't easy.

It really wasn't...

And it didn't feel right letting him go after everything he did...

But I've got an idea... and if it works,

we might be able to undo the damage that he's do–

Oh... he's coming back?

Hey!

Hey!

Gohan!

Woah... Is that Chi-Chi?

Gohan! Where is he?

My baby!

Gohan!

Gohan! Are you okay?

It's alright, baby, Mommy's here!

Come on, Gohan! Wake up, baby!

You're going to be okay...

Mommy's here... Mommy's here!

Don't worry. Gohan will be just fine.

Goku's the one who's really hurt.

He'll live, but he's in pretty bad shape...

Hey... Hey, d'you hear me? He's over–

You poor thing...

I promise, from now on I'm never gonna leave your side, do you hear me?

Your Mommy won't let anything happen to you!

Oh, Gohan! I've missed you so much!

What have they done to my poor baby?

Goku had a pretty rough time of it too, you know.

– That's just wrong! – Oh, no... No!

Goku?

We're here!

Talk to me, Goku. Are you okay?

Looks like they really did a number on you.

It's... not so bad... but I'm sorry... He got away... guys.

Well done! Not just anyone can run off a Saiyan warrior.

Korin? Is that you? Hey!

You're right... You wouldn't believe how strong that guy was.

The four of us were lucky to survive.

I just wish I could say the same for everybody else...

Bulma, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but...

Krillin... it was on TV!

Then you know, huh?

Then I guess you also know about Piccolo and Kami.

Since they're gone... that means...

the Dragon Balls are gone, too.

I know all that, okay? Just shut up!

I guess you already explained?

Yes... Sadly.

It's just a shame that Piccolo wasn't one of the ones to make it.

Well, excuse me, for livin'!

Who asked you?

The only reason you're still standing is because

you were hiding like a big fat coward the whole time.

Hey... You take that back!

If you'd been there, maybe Piccolo wouldn't've gotten killed,

and then everyone else could come back!

You ever think of that, jerk?

Hey! if it hadn't've been for my help,

everybody here would be dead, including Piccolo!

It's not like I asked for this headache!

Leave me alone!

Alright... alright!

Bickering is not gonna solve anything.

We need to get our friends some medical attention...

'Cause I'm all out of Senzu Beans.

Easy, now... Careful... Watch your step!

Sleep Gohan...

This is where the battle started, right?

Where Yamcha and Tien went down?

We're close. I think it was a little farther that way.

Please don't cry, Bulma...

I know it looks pretty bad right now... it is bad...

but that doesn't mean we should just quit trying, you know?

Not yet... Not when there's a chance we might be able to fix everything.

It's definitely a long shot... but... it might work...

And unless I'm missing something,

I think it's possible that everyone the Saiyans killed can be brought back to life.

But... how's that possible?

Good question!

Well... I don't wanna get everyone's hopes up if it's nothing.

Wait, that's right...

He started to say something about this before I fought Vegeta.

It's okay, Krillin... What are you thinking? Tell us.

Well... the truth is...

I'll explain it all later... It looks like we're here.

Go ahead and set her down here, Master Roshi.

We'll start getting the bodies on board.

Alright... One more to go...

But I haven't seen Chiaotzu anywhere... Have you?

There's no body... he blew himself up trying to kill a Saiyan.

Oh... right...

Goodness, it's terrible. Such a senseless loss...

If there was only some way to turn back the clock

and prevent this tragedy from happening.

The way things stand... far too many decent people have made too great a sacrifice.

This is wrong... and here we are powerless to change anything!

It's so infuriating!

Well...

Let's get going...

I'll take the wheel, okay?

There... I'm calmer already.

Good... That's good.

Gohan! You're finally awake!

There there, now! You can relax!

Your mommy's right here!

Mom, is that really you?

My precious baby boy! You must be traumatized!

After everything you had to go through!

We're all proud of you, Gohan.

You really came through out there.

We couldn't have done it without you!

But what happened? Where's the Saiyan?

Well... I guess I kinda sorta... might've let him get away.

But... who cares?

After that beating we gave him,

I wouldn't be surprised if we never saw Vegeta again!

Especially now that he knows what we're capable of!

Hey, where's Dad?

I'm right here, Gohan. Right behind you.

I made it, and it's all because of the great job you did back there.

You sure are somethin', you know that, lady?

Hey... Aren't you were supposed to be Goku's wife?

You haven't even looked at the guy since you got here...

Put down your "baby" and go check on your husband, already!

Why... you little brat! No way!

It's because of him that my son got into this mess in the first place!

There's no reason Gohan had to get involved!

But... They needed me, Mom! I had to help save the Earth!

I don't want to hear another word on the subject!

It's a mother's duty to protect her children... not the Earth!

Hey, Goku... She give you this kinda lip at home?

You never finished...

What did you say about... bringing everyone back?

Well... it's just a thought.

Okay... Here it goes...

See... The Saiyans already knew about the Dragon Balls when they got here,

they heard us talking over that communicator Goku's brother was wearing.

They weren't here for revenge...

At least not entirely.

They seemed a heck of a lot more interested in finding the Dragon Balls, so they could make a wish.

You think so?

Yeah.

But it's what they said about Piccolo that caught my attention...

Do you remember what they said he was?

They... called him a "Namekian."

Which means... Piccolo and Kami... well...

It sounds like the two of them might have been aliens.

You just figured that out? Dude, they're both green.

But it's what Vegeta said after that, that's got me thinking.

Play time is over. Eliminate them! Now!

What about the Dragon Balls? I thought–

The Namekian is of no use to us anymore.

Let's just say I have a hunch that if we put our green friend's home world next on the list

of planets to conquer... we'll get answers.

So? They know where Piccolo's from... Big deal.

I heard that, too!

I just didn't know what they meant...

but they acted like they'd be able to find more Dragon Balls on Namek!

That's right. So If we can get to this planet Namek...

and I know that's a really big "if," but if we can find it somehow...

then we might be able to bring those Dragon Balls back here!

Oh, I get it...

All we'd have to do then is wish for everyone

who was killed by the Saiyans to be restored to life.

And I'd get to see Piccolo again!

Gohan! What are– What are you talking about?

They'd all be alive!

And if Piccolo comes back, then Kami will, too!

And if Kami comes back, so will the Dragon Balls, or if not, he can make more!

Yes! That's an amazing idea!

It... might even actually work!

We at least have to try!

Hello, friends. Goodbye, Saiyans!

Guys... That's a whole lot easier said than done.

We could never pull that off...

It's like finding a needle in a haystack... It's hopeless.

Not for you... I bet you could find it, right?

Do you know how many planets there are?

Maybe if we had some clue where to look for this No-Neck,

or whatever it's called, but we don't!

Don't worry... Leave that to me.

You hear that, King Kai?

I bet you know just about every planet in the universe, right?

Do you know where Planet Namek is?

What kind of question is that?

Of course I know where Planet Namek is!

I'd be a pretty sorry king if I didn't know my own realm.

I can give you its exact coordinates.

That's... incredible!

He's the King Kai you told us about?

But... we all hear him!

It's like he's in the room with us!

Alright, King Kai...

You're coming through loud and clear.

Go ahead, we're all listening!

Hm... Namek... Namek...

Let me try to give you the coordinates in Earth terminology.

Here we are... Now... um...

It says here you'll keep a bearing of SW-66.

Hold on... No, that's not right...

This thing might as well be written in Japanese.

Maybe this is it: SU-83 by 9045-YX...

Yeah, yeah. Try that one.

Wait... I wanna make sure I heard right.

You said 9045-YX?

You... understood that? I'm glad somebody did. I'm lost.

Hey, Master Roshi...

Can you take the wheel for a couple a minutes?

I need to do some math.

Okay... Sure.

As I recall, Planet Namek was once an extremely beautiful world,

populated by many, many Namekians.

But a long time ago, there was a major change in the planet's climate... horrible...

and as a result, all but a few Namekians were wiped out.

Cool. That's it. The Balls are gone.

Big whoop. Let's get outta here.

Eeh... you jerk!

Don't jump to conclusions.

We don't know what it's like on Planet Namek these days...

But... I'll check my antennae...

Hm...

I think I found it!

Yes... I see...

So... Kami, or... the Namekian who would become Kami,

escaped from his home planet and came all the way here to Earth.

And... if that's the case, that means two things must have happened.

Either Kami lost his memory...

or he was too young to remember...

Either way, it's safe to assume he's had quite a difficult past.

So have I. But I don't get it.

It doesn't make any sense...

These Dragon Balls can grant any wish?

If they made 'em... then they could have like...

I don't know... wished the climate normal again

and all those Namekians wouldn'ta died!

I doubt that would have worked.

Think about what Shenron said to us.

We asked to get rid of the Saiyans,

but he couldn't grant a wish beyond the power of the one who created the Dragon Balls.

They were too much for Kami...

so they were too much for Shenron, too!

See? It's because the Dragon Balls have limits that we're in this mess to begin with.

Well what good are they, then?

I mean, come on!

You might as well not even bother with them!

I've been dying to do that!

I found the Namekians!

It looks like there are almost a hundred...

Not nearly as many as there were before... but they're flourishing! Wonderful!

Wait... There's a hundred more guys like Piccolo and Kami out there?

Yes, that's right...

But I wouldn't worry about it too much if I were you.

The Namekians are known for their gentle nature...

They're nice... Like Kami was on your planet...

Piccolo had a mean streak,

but that was more the exception than the rule.

Remember, Piccolo and Kami used to be one.

Kami was exposed to evil in humans that he never would have known on Namek.

And when he decided to purge the darkness that crept into his nature, Piccolo was born–

the embodiment of all the evil he had encountered.

Yeah, that makes sense.

No wonder he was so mean...

There are enough jerks out there to turn anybody bad.

How true.

Alright! Then there isn't anything stopping us from

going to Planet Namek and using their Dragon Balls to bring everyone back to life!

Are you serious? That is so naïve!

Even if we do know exactly where this Namek place is, how do you plan on getting there?

Have you considered that?

How? Well, I dunno...

I guess I figured we'd go in a spaceship.

Oh, sure! And I figured you might've used your brain for once!

I just ran a few calculations to see how long it would take

a spaceship with the world's best engine-

built by my dad-to get us to the coordinates

that King Kai gave us.

Well? Guess... Never mind.

I doubt you'd come remotely close...

4,339 years...

and over three months...

If we survived that long.

Oh, no.

Well...

That had me worried, too, but I'm pretty sure I have it figured out...

Something was bugging me about the spaceship Vegeta escaped in, and then it hit me.

It was so small! Barely big enough for one person.

There's no way both Saiyans came here in the same pod!

Which would mean the ship that the other Saiyan came here in

should still be sitting right where he landed it!

Hey! You're right!

I bet we could find the one that Raditz came here in, too!

Actually, we can't... Not after what Gohan did to it.

That's my boy.

Still... one alien spaceship might be enough!

I can't say for sure until I see it, but I bet I can figure something out!

It's probably going to be somewhere around Metro East.

After the Saiyans landed, it was the first area destroyed...

We'll have to look for it another time.

Or... we could just use this and it'll lead us right to it.

See? It belongs to Vegeta...

It's what he used to summon his ship.

I saw it lying on the battlefield and I thought it might come in handy.

So what do you think, was I right?

Ha! You're right! This could actually work!

Yes! There's still maybe hope for our friends after all!

To Namek! And the Dragon Balls!

Suddenly, Planet Namek doesn't seem so far out of reach.

But the crew has much to do before they can start their journey.

Next Dragon Ball Z Kai!

Hey, it's me, Gohan!

Bulma! What did you do?

The spaceship just blew up into a million pieces!

That's not for you to worry about.

You should be focusing on your lessons!

Do you have any idea how behind you are at your homework?

I don't care, Mom. Homework can wait!

There are more important things to do right now.

Next time on Dragon Ball Z Kai:

The original Shenron on his home planet?

I want to go!

The Ship Resting in Yunzabit!

Time to Blast Off for Planet Namek
