The Cell Games were approaching.

That was diverting.

A savior, such as the young man

who long ago defeated Piccolo Daimao, may appear once again.

Let us now pray to God.

Pray, he says. Our god is no longer up there.

Dragon Soul!

"A New Kami-sama! The Dragon Balls Return at Last."

Let's see, where is Kaio-sama...?

There he is!

Yo, Bubbles, long time no see. How are you?

Kaio-sama, hey, could you wake up for a minute?

It's me, Son Goku.

Goku?

Oh, Goku. So that's Super Saiyan, huh?

What's up? Are you here out of the blue to kill some time, or something?

Tch, you sure are taking it easy, huh?

Ain't you aware that something awful is happening on Earth?

You don't say.

I see, the Artificial Human Cell, huh?

That certainly is awful.

I have to say, awful things sure do seem to happen around you, one after another.

So I was thinking of finding a Namekian to become the new Kami-sama,

and also bring back the Dragon Balls.

It would sure help to know the direction

of the planet the Namekians are on.

All right, I'll give it a shot.

I sure do hope I'm able to find them.

Mister Popo seems lonesome, what with Kami-sama gone.

I suppose he would be. I mean, all alone there, at the temple?

Of course he'd be lonesome! And besides--

Put a sock in it! Pipe down! I can't concentrate, you know!

Aa...!

Aa ii uu ee oo!

Take this seriously, would you?

Sorry, sorry.

I found them. I found them! This time, it's for real. This direction.

Really? Thank you!

All right, this way, huh?

Even far away, if I know the direction,

I may be able to sense out their Ki.

That's amazing. Instantaneous Movement, huh?

When did you manage to learn that move?

Oh yeah, I know.

Instantaneous Movement is the Yardratians' specialty technique.

You had the Yardratians teach it to you, didn't you?

That makes sense. I have to say, that must be handy, huh?

Be quiet, would you?!

That's for earlier.

I did it! This is the Ki!

No doubt about it, this Ki is Namekian.

Thank you, Kaio-sama!

W-What?

Whew! A whole bunch of Piccolos!

G-Grand Elder...

W-Who are you?

U-Um, my name is Son Goku, and I've come from Earth.

Oh! You're the Goku-san who fought Freeza on Namek, and saved us all!

Yeah, but Planet Namek ended up exploding.

Ahem. It would appear that there is a terrible disturbance on Earth.

Huh? You know that Cell is on the rampage?

We don't know anything particular.

We've just felt an evil Ki carrying all the way to our world.

Well, that'll make a long story short.

The truth is, I'm here looking for someone to be our Kami-sama.

A Namekian who can restore our Dragon Balls,

so we can bring back to life the people killed by Cell.

It sure would help if one of you would come to Earth with me,

and become our Kami-sama.

E-Earth?

I understand. In that case, I have the perfect person for the job.

Really?

Hey, Dende!

Come on over here.

R-Right.

This is Dende.

He is a good friend of your son, Gohan-kun, and Kuririn-san.

Ever since we left, he's been saying that he misses Earth,

and that he wants to see Gohan-kun and the others again.

That's great! But he has to be able to do Dragon Balls.

That's all right. Don't let his size fool you.

Dende is an outstanding Dragon-type.

He's sure to make you a fine Kami-sama.

He is? That's great.

Nice to meet you, Dende.

S-Sure. I'm pleased to meet you.

Okay, let's take off, right away.

Right away?!

Thanks.

We'll make sure to take responsibility for Dende and look after him.

Goodbye, everyone!

--Take care. --Do a good job now, Dende.

Goku-san, we're praying for peace on Earth.

Mm-hmm, thank you.

Kaio-sama, it worked! This is Earth's new Kami-sama.

Well, see you later.

Hey! I just got back from the new Planet Namek.

D-Dende?!

This person new Kami-sama?

Yeah.

C-Can Dende really serve as Kami-sama?

He'll be fine!

Hold on a second. I'm going to go grab Kuririn and Gohan, okay?

All right...

People of the world, I have terrific news!

The ultra-master of combat sports, our hero, Satan,

has decided to enter the Cell Games martial arts tournament!

The super-hero, Satan!

Satan...! Satan...! Satan...!

Hmm? Who's that?

The world champion combat sportsman.

Are you sure about this, Mister Satan?

Your opponent, Cell, is strong enough to wipe out an entire army.

That was nothing but a trick.

He just planted explosives ahead of time.

I could see right away that as far as fighting sports go,

he is a rank amateur!

I, Satan, promise you that I will crush that crazy, tinhorn punk!

You hear, people of the Earth?!

Good grief, there's no helping an idiot like that.

Goku-sa! Just where did you go, leavin' us to fend for ourselves?!

Chichi, hold on!

Kuririn, Gohan, come with me.

I brought back our new Kami-sama.

You know Dende, right? The Namekian?

Huh? Dende?

Ah! Gohan-san, Kuririn-san!

It really is Dende!

It's been so long, huh? I'm so glad you came, Dende!

Say, is it true you're going to be the Earth's Kami-sama?

Y-Yes.

Sure enough. You've always shown a lot of promise.

We'll be able to see each other every day now.

By the way, Dende...

Are you really able to use Dragon Balls?

He'll be fine, I tell you. The old Namekian guy I talked to

said that Dende was an outstanding Dragon-type.

--Old guy? --H-He means the Grand Elder.

Y-Yeah, the Grand Elder.

He gave you a ringing endorsement, so there's no doubt about it.

I think I can have some Dragon Balls finished in about 100 days.

100 days?! It's gonna take that long?

I know!

As long as you have the Dragon Balls you used on Earth before,

along with a model of the dragon, I can restore them right now.

Really?

The previous ones should be turned to stone and scattered around the world.

We have model of dragon made by Mister Popo.

Great! That's perfect, isn't it?

Hooray!

So, how about it? Can you make it so it grants three wishes,

--like on Planet Namek? --Yes.

Then can you make it so that with one wish,

many people can be brought back to life, like before?

For example,

"Please bring back to life everyone that was killed by Cell."

I-It's not something that I couldn't do with a preliminary adjustment,

but the number of wishes that can be granted will drop to two.

Huh? That's all it will take?

Yes.

That will do. Make them so we can do that.

Understood. Well then, the dragon model...

Mister Popo, bring the model out.

Right.

Here. Mister Popo made it.

Wow, what a fascinatingly shaped dragon.

All right, I will try.

Dende, good luck!

Take it nice and easy.

Right!

Tottoratto poppolunga...

Pooral pompo pittenpalo...

Pupa popo tottenpeppo puppipalo poppon pappa...

Parapul pepo!

I believe the scattered stone Dragon Balls have now been restored.

--Huh? Already? --Impressive!

Nicely done.

He certainly does appear to have outstanding power.

All right, well, I'll go get Bulma to lend me the Dragon Radar, and gather them together.

You do that, Goku.

Yeah. Gohan...

...you've had enough training,

so stay here and play with Dende until the Cell Games.

B-But...

It's okay, it's okay, don't worry.

Goku-san, is it okay if I ask you a question?

Hmm? What?

Goku-san, the reason you're so confident

is because you've discovered some weakness that Cell has. Isn't that right?

Nope. I doubt he has any weaknesses.

Well, I'm off.

Gohan-san, has he told you anything?

Goku-san has clearly said that Cell is stronger than he is,

and that he knows of no weakness.

So then, why is he so cheerful?

Father hasn't told me, either. He just says I should look forward to it.

Look forward?

You know, if he's telling you to look forward to it,

there must be some chance of us winning.

He may have just taken up a so-what attitude.

Oh, Son-kun! Hey, this Artificial Human is one amazing construct.

Doctor Gero may not have been much of a man,

but it's clear he was a genius.

Oh, yeah? Anyhow, Bulma, I'd like to borrow your Dragon Radar.

I brought back a new Kami-sama from Planet Namek.

Oh, nice going. Sure, it's in that drawer right there.

Thank you.

Yeah, looks like it's working fine.

Okay, I'm taking it with me.

Hold on!

Rats, I wanted to ask him a little more about Trunks.

Oh, well.

There it is. It really has become a Dragon Ball!

Ee-yow! Ow-w-w-w!

Found the second one.

D-Dad, how did it go?

And so, with everyone following their respective agendas,

time passed on.

This is dull. Ten days was too much time.

Whew, I'm finally done.

Not much time left before Cell Games.

Has Goku gathered Dragon Balls?

I've now gotten all seven of them!

Satan! I've been waiting for this!

Show us something good, Satan!

You're the man, Satan!

Satan-sama!

Cell, you're going to regret this!

You're going to share the same fate as this bus!

And so, ten days passed in the blink of an eye,

and the Earth was facing its day of destiny.

All right, I'll be off.

You be careful, Goku-sa.

Don't go dyin'.

Yeah, I know.

Gohan-chan isn't fightin', right?

U-Um...

Promise me you won't let Gohan-chan fight.

Well, I'm off!

Ah, hey!

G-Gohan-chan might be fightin', too...

--F-Father... --There he is.

It's time.

Huh? Where's Vegeta?

He went on ahead.

He did, huh? Vegeta must be pretty revved up.

I'll bet he's gotten even better.

What's wrong, guys? Why is everybody so down?

Are you nervous?

Goku, something bad has come up.

We had the Dragon Balls set up so that lots of people

could be brought back to life with one wish, right?

Yeah.

By doing so, those of us like you and me,

who have already died once, can't be brought back to life again.

I'm sorry. I should have said something at the beginning.

Oh, don't worry about it, Dende. We just have to not die, right?

Not die? This is Cell we're talking about!

It's okay, it's okay. Let's hurry up and go.

12 o'clock is going to come and go.

It's Yamucha-san and Tenshinhan-san!

We're coming, too.

We probably won't take part in the fighting, though.

All right. Come on, everybody.

One hour now remains before the Cell Games!

We are risking certain death to bring you this exclusive live coverage

of Cell's countenance before the fight.

Cell is not moving; he is not stirring so much as an inch.

Will the monstrous Cell be the one who wins the Cell Games?

Will it be the confident Goku? Or for that matter...

One hour remains until the showdown!

Heya! I'm Goku!

Okay, it's time to fight Cell--

Stand back, amateur! I, Mister Satan, will defeat him!

You're gonna get killed.

If he's going to be fighting, even I would do better.

Next time on Dragon Ball Z Kai,

"Satan's Crew on the Loose! The Curtain Rises on the Cell Games."

One thing the weak do is talk a lot!
