[NARRATOR] Last time, on Dragon Ball Z,

two unwelcome guests, Frieza and his father, King Cold,

descended upon the Earth, only to be confronted by

a mysterious stranger,

a young man determined to thwart

their evil plans single-handedly.

[NARRATOR] And when the strange young man vanquished

Frieza's entire crew in a flash,

his bold purpose seemed a little more plausible.

You're about to find out what it's like to fight

a real Super Saiyan!

And I'm not talking about Goku!

What?!

[yelling]

No!

[NARRATOR] And so the battle between the unknown

Super Saiyan and Frieza, the Warlord of Evil, began!

[NARRATOR] After a blazing attack at point blank range,

Frieza's father, the wicked giant, King Cold,

was convinced that the battle was already over.

When in fact, it had just begun.

Hey! Frieza!

Huh?!

[NARRATOR] Who is this radical Super Saiyan?

And where did he come from?

FInd out today!

[FRIEZA gasps]

[grunting]

[KING COLD] Frieza!

[KING COLD wails]

They're right there! Look guys!

Huh?

[shouting]

[ALL gasping]

[KING COLD growls]

He... beat Frieza!

Effortlessly!

But who is he?

Who knows?!

Let's just hope this guy's on our side!

[BULMA] You guys are crazy!

They just look like tiny little dots way up there!

How can you even tell who they are?

It's probably Goku, you guys.

Mister Super Saiyan.

He has a knack for showing up at just the right time...

Yeah! He's such a stud! Gosh!

No, it's not Goku. No way.

--Huh? --Huh?

But he's definitely a Super Saiyan!

[VEGETA growls]

Wha--?!

See ya!

Wait up!

Man! Can't miss this!

Hold it, buddy-boy! I'm not being left behind again!

Oh, wow!

[BULMA laughs]

This is great!

[BULMA laughs]

[YAMCHA] Hold still!

[KING COLD growls]

Super Saiyan.

I'm impressed.

To encounter a fighter of your caliber

is a rare occurrence indeed.

But it does present quite an opportunity.

You see, I can appreciate a great talent such as yours.

My eyes are not blinded by pride like my son's were.

Join me, and take Frieza's place at my side

as the supreme ruler of the universe!

Not a chance!

Now don't be too hasty...

Imagine:

This and every other world would be but the merest of baubles

in your collection.

Play things for your amusement.

Subject to your every whim.

No?

Alright. But grant me this.

Allow me to examine your sword.

A weapon of such obvious quality practically begs to be admired.

[KING COLD chuckles]

[KING COLD] You have nothing to fear from me.

Hmm?

[BOY] So you want to see my sword, huh?

Here! Catch!

[KING COLD chuckles]

[KING COLD] Yes...

Yes, indeed. Remarkable craftsmanship.

And I have a hunch that you would not have defeated my son,

were it not for this sword.

What do you say?

Believe what you want to.

Hah!

[KING COLD chuckles]

Alright then, I will!

[KING COLD] I say that without this sword you're nothing!

That's what I believe!

[KING COLD growls]

[KING COLD yells]

[KING COLD gasps]

[KING COLD whimpers]

Heh.

[BOY] So much for your theory.

[KING COLD grunts]

[KING COLD yells]

You should know that a weapon doesn't make the man!

Wait, you dirty, little Saiyan!

[KING COLD screams]

Huh?!

[gasping]

[KING COLD screams]

[KING COLD grunts]

First Frieza! Now him! Whoa! Man!

[thinking] Who is this kid?

Wait! You can't! Nooo!

Please! I am defenseless! Please?

I'm not bad! My son was evil, but not I!

I wanted nothing but peace! I meant you no harm!

I swear it!

I am-- I-It's the truth! Noo!

[ALL gasp]

Wow! Just like that! Bam! They're gone!

[TIEN gasps]

And it looks to me like this guy hasn't even come anywhere close

to breaking a sweat!

[KRILLIN] Yeah!

Let's just hope he doesn't decide to come after us!

Hmm...?

[GOHAN & KRILLIN whimper]

I'm heading off to a place near here to meet Goku.

Would you guys like to come?

--What? --Huh?

Wha...? How weird!

How does he know about my father?!

[BOY] Come on, it's this way!

Goku should be arriving there in a couple of hours!

[GOHAN] What...?

[ALL] Huh?

[thinking] Hmm. Alright. What's this guy up to?

[thinking] I don't know who he is, but he's no Super Saiyan!

Of that I'm certain! Kakarot and I are the only Saiyans left!

He can't be one of us! It's impossible!

Hey, follow me! Don't worry, I won't bite! This way!

Well, I'm going for it! He knows my Dad!

Yeah, possibly! But how? We've known Goku his whole life.

I'm in! He seems pretty cool to me.

Plus he saved us from Frieza. He can't be all that bad, huh?

I say we go.

Well, I don't trust that guy. No way.

You don't trust me either. I say go.

Definitely! I've got to find out who he is.

Huh?!

You're all nuts!

--[BULMA] Whoooo! --[YAMCHA] Stop fidgeting!

[BOY] Wow! My tracking unit still works

with the original satellite!

You rule, Gramps!

Yeah, this is it.

Look out, you guys! He's up to something!

How about a cold drink?

Goku's not due to arrive for two more hours.

It's pretty hot and dry out here.

Well, I don't see why not.

Huh?

Yeah!

Wait! Gohan!

[BULMA] Chill out, Krillin!

They're just sodas.

[GOHAN] Ooh, wow! What a great selection!

[BULMA] Hey! I'm starting to like this guy! He has root beer!

[GOHAN] Orange for me!

Ahh! Good stuff!

Yeah! Super!

Is there a grape, guys?

[GOHAN] Ha, ha! Yeah! Two grapes!

Oh boy!

Yeah!

[GOHAN & KRILLIN laugh]

[BULMA] Have we met? You look so familiar!

Uh, no. Sorry...

Excuse me, mister! But how do you know my Dad?

Actually, I haven't met your dad before.

I've only just heard about him.

[KRILLIN] Then how do you know that he's going to arrive

at this spot in two hours?

Well, that's uh... Sorry, I... I can't say.

Why not? I'll tell you! Because you're up to something!

Tell us now, tough guy! Who are you?

I wish I could. Sorry...

[GOHAN] When you defeated Frieza and that big guy,

you were a Super Saiyan, weren't you?

Yes... yes I was.

That's a lie!

--Huh? --Huh?

[VEGETA] Look my friend, Kakarot, the one you call Goku,

and myself, are the only Saiyans left!

Kakarot's kid there is half Saiyan, so if you count him,

that makes three of us!

There's no way that you could have Saiyan blood!

Huh?

Uh?

[GOHAN] Yeah, but.. we saw him! He just defeated Frieza!

And that huge guy! All by himself!

Well, I'm calling him a liar! Not a weakling!

Huh?

Oh, hey! You've got our logo on your jacket.

That's my Dad's company! Are you one of our employees?

No! Not exactly. Just a fan.

Oh, I see! Well, tell me your name,

and I'll recommend you to Dad!

I, uh, can't do that... I'm sorry, I know it's strange.

Ooh! Mystery man!

Is his shoe size a secret too?

Yeah! Why can't I have a secret name?

That's not fair! I bet you have a secret spy decoder ring too!

Knock it off, you guys! You're all jealous!

This guy just beat Frieza single handedly! So there!

Right!

Hah.

[OX-KING] Hey, Hello!

[OX-KING gasps]

Hey, ChiChi!

What is all that junk?

It's the latest in study equipment.

It teaches kids while they're sleeping.

[OX-KING] What?

Since I can't get Gohan to study during the day,

I'll just cram it into his brain at night!

Oh, yes! He'll be tired when he gets home.

So we'll start him off with a little math.

What makes him think he can just fly off like that

without saying a word?!

It's that TV!

--I'm throwing the TV away! --ChiChi! No!

[VEGETA] What are you looking at?!

[BOY] Oh, uh, nothing. It's just that I, uh, like your shirt.

[VEGETA] You would.

[GOHAN] Hey, Piccolo, do you mind

if I ask you about something?

What's that?

Well, uh... When Dende and the other Nameks

left to resettle on that new planet

you could've gone with them.

I was wondering why you chose to stay here with us?

They're your people.

Well, I might join them some day. But for now,

I feel like my mission is here on Earth.

Sometimes connections between people run deeper

than where they're from or what color skin they have.

Hey! Now check this out!

Is it me? Or do those two kind of look alike?

Well, now that you mention it, I can kind of see a resemblance.

Well.. I mean just in looks.

That other guy seems pretty nice.

But Vegeta has the personality of a stump.

Well, he's a prince.

So what?

Princes have to act bored.

Like the world's not good enough for them.

Huh? Vegeta seems more agitated than bored.

Like he's got a bad case of hemorrhoids or something.

[VEGETA] Why do you keep looking over here?!

Haven't you ever seen a pink shirt before?!

If you like it that much, you can have it!

No, no thank you.

Then knock it off, kid!

Maybe Goku met this guy somewhere

out in space, Chiaotzu.

He has been gone a while.

But he told Gohan that he hasn't met Goku.

[TIEN] But how can he know the exact spot

that Goku is going to land two hours before he arrives?

[YAMCHA] Maybe he's wrong! Maybe Goku's not coming!

[ALL] Huh?

[BULMA] Well, the only way to find out

is to wait two hours, right?

--[YAMCHA] Yeah! --[PUAR] Uh-huh!

[BULMA] Well, how long has it been?

[YAMCHA] One hour.

[BULMA} Well, then, just chill out for one more hour!

[YAMCHA] Well, you can find another ride home!

[BULMA] Fine!

Oops! Uh, sorry!

[BOY] Hey, uh, that's it! Two hours have passed!

Goku should be arriving any second now!

--[KRILLIN] Huh? --[BULMA] Really?

Okay...?

Huh...?

Huh?!

[CHIAOTZU] Oh, my gosh! Tien!

I know! I feel it too, Chiaotzu!

He's coming!

Man, that guy was right after all!

You're all nuts!

My woman's intuition isn't picking up anything

at all right now.

No, it's true! He's finally home!

My Dad's back!

[GOHAN laughs]

[GOHAN] Look! Up there! Dad!

[BULMA] Wow! Cool!

[KRILLIN] Last one there is a rotten egg!

[BULMA] Hey! Wait for me!

[BULMA} Wait up!

[GOHAN] Wow! Check it out! What a crater!

[KRILLIN] Yeah, no kidding! Boom! What a landing!

I hope he has some air bags in that baby!

[YAMCHA] Why? To protect the ship from Goku's head?

[TIEN] Yeah, really!

[gasping]

[GOHAN gasps]

Huh...? Hey, guys.

--[BULMA] Yeah! You made it! --[cheering, whooping]

--What took you so long, Dad?! --[cheering, whooping]

[cheering, whooping]

--Goku! --[cheering, whooping]

Welcome back to Earth, Goku! --[cheering, whooping]

How did you guys know that I was coming?

[NARRATOR] At long last,

Goku is reunited with his family and friends.

But how did this mysterious stranger know the exact time

and place of his arrival?

Is he friend or foe?
