Original subtitles

[NARRATOR] Last time on Dragon Ball Z,

a menacing force is rapidly approaching.

[FRIEZA] There it is... Planet Earth, dead ahead.

[GOHAN] I feel it too! This isn't good!

[NARRATOR] A force that greatly concerned Gohan.

[GOHAN] But who is it?

Dad, where are you?

[NARRATOR] The power seemed to be felt by everyone on Earth.

[YAMCHA] Wait! How do you know?

I know! I make it my business to know! Unlike you!

There's two of them, Chiaotzu!

My gosh! I've never felt anything like it!

Tien, I'm scared!

[NARRATOR] Even King Kai sensed the malevolent prescence.

[KING KAI] I know, Bubbles, yes! I can feel it too...

[NARRATOR] It's time for our heroes to get ready,

because this danger is worse than they think.

[CHICHI] Oh no! Dad!

[GOHAN growls]

[NARRATOR] Frieza's back!

And he's got his evil eye set on Earth.

[GOHAN growls]

This can't be happening!

[GOHAN] If Frieza's really on his way here,

then we're gonna need all the help we can get!

Come on, Krillin. Where are you?!

[KRILLIN] Hey!

[GOHAN] Krillin! A-Are you sure it's Frieza?

Are you sure it couldn't be someone else?

No, Gohan, I can smell him!

I'll never forget that stench!

If you think that your little friends can escape me,

you're sadly mistaken!

Krillin! Look out!

[KRILLIN gasps]

[KRILLIN wails]

This time you won't come back!

[KRILLIN whimpering]

[KRILLIN yelling]

Help me! Ah--!

[GOHAN] I just can't figure it out!

I thought for sure my dad finished off Frieza

once and for all!

So did I! But it looks like we were both

wrong this time, Gohan.

[KING COLD] Ah, yes!

I've always so enjoyed the last few quiet moments

before laying a planet to waste.

But I must say, I'm feeling almost as anxious as you

to reach our destination, Frieza.

I'm quite curious to meet this Saiyan!

After all, I've heard so much about him,

one could hardly blame me.

[FRIEZA growls]

Seems something's got your blood boiling. Yes, son?

Mm-mmm! We mustn't let our tempers get the best of us.

[FRIEZA] You've got me figured all wrong, Father,

I was just admiring the view!

It's simply electrifying, I'd say!

[FRIEZA chuckles]

[YAMCHA] I can't believe how fast Vegeta is!

I can hardly keep up with him!

[VEGETA thinking] Perhaps Kakarot wasn't as strong

as I had imagined, after all! Frieza's still alive!

And I can sense that his power level

is even greater than before. But I'll soon show him!

So is mine!

[CHIAOTZU] I don't like this, Tien! They're coming!

I sense them!

[CHIAOTZU whimpers]

[SPACESHIP CAPTAIN] We're in final approach

to Earth, your Excellency.

[KING COLD] Very good.

This is the place where he'll be touching down!

[YAMCHA] Are you sure, Vegeta?

Yes, I'm sure! Now zip it!

I don't want him to know we're waiting!

[YAMCHA growls]

[BULMA] Hello down there!

[YAMCHA] It's Bulma!

Vegeta! Yamcha! I'm coming in!

[PUAR giggling]

[PUAR] Yamcha!

[YAMCHA] What in the world are you two doing here?!

We came to see Frieza!

I missed him on Namek

and I'm not going to let that happen again!

Are you crazy?! Do you realize what he'll do to you

when he finds you here?!

Yes, of course I do!

He'll come down and blow up the planet

but I want to see him before he does it.

What's so wrong with that?

Besides, I hear he's kinda cute!

[VEGETA] It's amazing how every time you open your mouth

you prove you're an idiot!

[YAMCHA] Huh?

Tien! Chiaotzu!

Huh?

[TIEN] Vegeta! I didn't realize you were going to be here too!

Is that okay?

[TIEN] As a matter of fact, it isn't!

I still haven't forgotten what happened the last time we met!

You disgust me!

How can you stomach him, Yamcha?

Ha! Loser!

What?!

Hey, cool it, guys!

This is no time to fight, okay?

[TIEN growls]

[VEGETA] Hmph.

[YAMCHA sighs]

It's Frieza, isn't it? How long 'til he lands?

Could be any time now...

Be quiet! I'd rather Frieza's scouters didn't

detect us because of your incessant jabbering!

Besides, all this scary talk is upsetting the Namek.

[YAMCHA] The Namek?

[ALL gasp]

[YAMCHA] Piccolo!

How long have you been standing there?

[PICCOLO] Long enough to hear all of your senseless bickering!

Look, Gohan! Down there!

[GOHAN] Wow! It looks like everybody's here!

[KRILLIN] Guess it's safe to say we came to the right place!

Hey there!

Wow! Gohan! Krillin! You made it!

Huh? Hey! Any word from Goku?

[BULMA laughing]

[BULMA sighs]

[PUAR sighs]

[YAMCHA] I just thought I'd ask...

[PICCOLO gasps] He's here!

[ALL gasping]

[ALL growling, gasping]

[KRILLIN] He's landing just over that ridge!

[PUAR whimpering]

[BULMA sobbing] [PUAR whimpering]

It's... like I dreamed! Frieza! He's really here!

Gohan, try to focus, bro. We need you!

[SPACESHIP CAPTAIN] Your Excellency, the landing process

is complete. We have reached our destination.

[KING COLD] Superb!

[FRIEZA giggles]

[ALL gasping]

[ALL gasping, grunting]

Now, there's no room for mistakes!

We've all got to keep our power levels suppressed

or else Frieza will pick us up on his scouters.

Ready?

[YAMCHA] This is crazy!

I've never felt anything anywhere close

to the amount of power I'm sensing right now!

I hate to say it, Yamcha, but this is only

the tip of the iceberg!

There's no way we're gonna last very long

against a massive force like that!

Hey, you guys are kidding, right?

I-I mean, you're not suggesting that we attack him?

Like Tien said, we'd all be wiped out!

I'm telling you, Frieza's a monster!

And attacking him is suicide!

[PICCOLO] But we have to try, Yamcha.

Unless we stop Frieza right here and now,

you may as well kiss the entire planet goodbye!

[YAMCHA whimpers]

[BOTH sigh]

[TIEN growls]

[VEGETA] He's right, you know.

You really have no choice. So what say we put an end

to all of this pathetic whimpering and go find Frieza!

Before he finds us...

[FRIEZA] So this is the planet Earth.

My, how very quaint!

[FRIEZA gasps]

[FRIEZA whimpering]

[FRIEZA growling]

[GOKU] It was enough to beat you, Frieza.

Now, live with the shame. Keep it bottled up inside, silently.

[FRIEZA grunts]

Poor, stupid Saiyan! You honestly think you've won?

Your puny mind never could understand.

I am Frieza, the most powerful being in the universe!

And you are nothing but a monkey!

[FRIEZA] You can't win. Because I am mighty

and you are not.

Now learn!

Learn what happens when you mess

with the most powerful being in the universe!

[GOKU] You fool!

[FRIEZA yelping]

[weakly] Monkey! He was just a monkey!

[CAPTAIN BLUE] Sire, much as we expected, the entire planet

Namek has been destroyed by the explosion.

And, well, uh, all though there seems to be no signs

of Lord Frieza just yet, your highness,

we are continuing our search among the debris

and we're very hopeful that--

Uh...

[KING COLD] You disappoint me, Captain.

It seems you lack confidence in Frieza's ability

to survive such a pitiful blast.

I tell you, my son is not so easily destroyed as a planet.

He is out there, alive!

So, please do go and find him, won't you?

[KING COLD chuckling]

[CAPTAIN BLUE gasping]

[CAPTAIN BLUE screams]

I've found him, Sire!

It's a very faint signal, but we have locked on

to Lord Frieza's position!

[KING COLD] Excellent! Have him brought on board immediately!

[KING COLD] Status report, Doctor.

[DOCTOR] Your Highness, we are working on Lord Frieza

around the clock, and I am confident

that we can rebuild him!

We have the technology to make him faster, stronger,

and in every way more powerful than he was before!

Even as we speak, a team of our brightest engineers

is working diligently to create the cybernetic attachments,

we will need in order to make Lord Frieza whole again!

[DOCTOR] Once these mechanical enhancements have been made

to his existing body, he will be able to realize

energy levels far greater than ever before!

Levels that would have been unsustainable

in his purely organic form!

Sire, I can whole heartedly assure you that Lord Frieza

will soon reestablish himself as the most powerful force

in the universe!

There!

[DOCTOR] Not too quickly, my lord!

Set a course for Earth, Father!

[KING COLD] Planet Earth? What ever for, my son?

I'd like to blow it up!

Change course!

[FRIEZA] I will make him suffer for what he did to me!

I will make this whole planet suffer!

Yes, do be quick about it! I'd rather not stay too long

on this pathetic little mud ball!

Not that I don't just love it here.

But I still don't see why we can't simply destroy

the planet right now!

You can be absolutely naughty, Father. It's impressive.

And here I've always wondered where I picked up

my knack for it.

I take great pride in the fact that I have taught you

all the necessary skills of life.

Use them well.

[FRIEZA] Indeed I will.

For it just so happens that I have also learned

from you the fine art of revenge.

Allow me to demonstrate by vaporizing all

of the Saiyan's friends, one by one.

[FRIEZA laughing]

And, my! Oh, my! Won't he be surprised when he returns home

and finds no one here to welcome him but me?!

[GOHAN grunts]

[YAMCHA thinking] Why me? I mean, I just got wished back

and now I have to face Frieza?

[VEGETA grunts]

[YAMCHA] I-I don't think I can do this, you guys!

[BOTH gasping]

[FRIEZA] Now all of you, begin your search!

And when you find them, show no mercy!

[SOLDIERS] Yes, sir!

[FRIEZA, KING COLD gasp]

[SOLDIERS gasping]

[FRIEZA, KING COLD] Hm...

Ah, so you must be Frieza!

[NARRATOR] Who is this myterious stranger?

And does he really think he has what it takes

to go head-to-head with Frieza?
