Original subtitles

[NARRATOR] On the last episode of Dragon Ball Z,

the citizens cleared the streets as the boys in blue

unloaded on the swooping giants above!

Don't shoot!

They're just trying to get their baby back!

[VIDEL] Come here, little guy!

I found him!

[NARRATOR] And when the greedy circus promoter went berserk,

Saiyaman had to knock the giant dinosaur out,

so he could arrange for a peaceful reunion,

and the arrest of the trigger-happy promoter!

[GOHAN] He'll be just fine! Wait and see!

[NARRATOR] But just when he thought the trouble was over,

Gohan ran straight into an ambush!

My gosh, isn't that funny! Yeah!

I saw Saiyaman get scratched in the same spot!

And that's exactly who you are! Mr. Saiyaman!

Yikes! Busted! I can't believe it!

The secret identity of Saiyaman is public knowledge!

[NARRATOR] That's right! The cat's out of the bag!

Gohan is Saiyaman! And now he's at Videl's mercy!

I wouldn't exactly say that it was public knowledge!

Only I know! But maybe I should schedule

a press conference, what do you think?

[PASSENGERS screaming]

[MAN 1] Oh, my gosh! It's gonna crash!

[ANCHORMAN] And there you have it, folks,

the cries of horror on Flight 336 were turned into

shouts of joy as the disaster over downtown

was narrowly averted by Saiyaman--

the remarkable hero who seems to have

made a home in our fair city!

No one knows who he is or where he came from!

Channel Ten's Nick Hornby is at the scene!

How amazing!

Great Saiyaman, there seems to be no limit

to your incredible power!

Please, sir!

Can you tell the folks at home a little bit

about who you are and why you came to our city?!

[GOHAN] Hm! You bet! Sure!

[NICK HORNBY] Mm! Huh?

[GOHAN] Hiyaaa! Ho! Here we go!

I'm the man with the plan! To uplift the good!

And root out the bad!

'Til we're living like we should!

Hiyaaa! Whoa, ho! Uh, huh!

Now you understand that I'm the... Great Saiyaman!

Blah! What a geek!

[BULMA] So I heard you're going to take part

in the World Martial Arts Championship!

Yeah.

Wow! Well I must say, I'm a little surprised, Gohan!

It's not like you have to prove yourself or anything!

[GOHAN] I know! But Videl Satan discovered my secret!

She's blackmailing me into it!

Again?! Good grief, Gohan!

You get blackmailed more than a politician!

What is it with you and all these girls!

"Videl Satan"... That sounds so familiar!

[BULMA gasps] She's not that goon Mr. Satan's daughter?

That's her!

She's a classmate of mine at Orange Star High School!

She's nice! Always fighting crime like I am!

She's a good girl!

But I've never met anyone as obstinate

and pushy as she is. Except for my mom.

And now that she knows who I am,

she's determined to show that she's stronger than me

by beating me in the tournament!

[TRUNKS thinking] Man! Gohan's such a nerd sometimes!

If it was me, I'd just beat that ol' girl up!

[BULMA] So this Videl girl is rude and pushy, huh?!

Just to you, or to everyone!

[GOHAN] Just to me!

I see!

[GOHAN] Ever since I showed up as Saiyaman

she's been hounding me and saying that

she wouldn't rest until she unmasked me!

And she's not the type of girl that you can keep a secret from!

Gohan, it sounds to me like this girl likes you, silly!

I know it sounds strange,

but that's the way girls operate sometimes!

There's a good chance that you could get out of

competing in the tournament by asking her out on a date!

Nope! Tried that! She wasn't interested!

Not her! I think what she really wants is to beat me up!

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to compete!

But they don't allow head protection

in the tournament, so I need to come up with a new disguise!

Ahhh! What a shame!

You don't see superheros wearing helmets very often!

It's a nice touch!

[TRUNKS] Actually it's kinda stupid!

[GOHAN] Videl did call it a trash can...

Ouchee! That hurts!

I guess I don't know what's "in" nowadays!

I must be getting old!

Let's see!

We need to come up with something simple, yet chic!

And I think I know just the thing!

[BULMA] Taaa-daaa! Well, whatd'ya guys think?!

All right! I love it! Now that's what I call style!

Hey! Whatd'ya think, Trunks?! Pretty cool, huh?!

Yeah, it's great!

[TRUNKS thinking] If you like looking like

a total geek that is!

I think you look very cool! But make sure you like it

because your picture's gonna be

plastered everywhere after you win!

[VEGETA] Who says he's going to win?!

[GOHAN, BULMA] Huh?

[BULMA] Who could possibly beat him?!

Yours truly, that's who! If you'll enter, I'll enter!

[GOHAN gasps]

[VEGETA] You were a lot stronger than me when we fought Cell.

But while you've been hanging out in the library

and going out on dates, I've been doing nothing but

severe training the entire time!

Yep! That's all you've been doing,

I can vouch for that!

How come you Saiyans can train all day long

but you can't mow the lawn or take out the trash!

[GOHAN] Uh...

This is cool! Dad and Gohan are gonna fight! Wow!

[GOKU] I think I'll enter, too!

[ALL] Huh?

[GOKU] Gohan!

[GOHAN gasps] Is that you, Dad?! Please tell me that it's you!

No way! Wow!

[VEGETA] Hm? Kakarot?

[GOHAN] It's you! Dad! It's really you!

Hi, Son! It's great to hear your voice again!

Dad! Unbelievable! You're here!

Where is he?

Trunks, you haven't been telling Gohan the truth

about his costume, have you?!

[KING KAI laughs]

This is great! Father! Are you really coming back

to compete in the World Championships?!

Yeah! I'm allowed to come back for one day!

Baba checked it out for me!

It appears I have a little credit!

I'm excited! I can't wait to see everyone!

Tell your mom that I'm coming back!

For a whole day!

[GOKU laughs] All right! Yes!

He's flipped, Dad!

No, son! His dad's coming back!

Even I'm excited, Kakarot!

At having another chance to defeat you!

[GOKU] Mm-hm! We'll see!

I guess anything's possible! Miracles do happen!

Miracles, huh?! Oh, I can't wait!

[GOHAN laughs]

This is great! Gohan!

After you tell your mom, you should go to Master Roshi's!

Krillin's gonna flip when he hears!

Right! Definitely!

[TRUNKS] Who's he?

[GOHAN] An old friend, Trunks! Oh, hey!

Vegeta, if you're gonna compete,

you should wear a disguise! Maybe something like mine!

[VEGETA] Rrrgh! No way!

I wouldn't be caught dead in that thing!

[GOHAN] See you later, guys!

I'm gonna swing by Master Roshi's

and then tell Mom and Goten the news!

Tell everyone I said hi!

See ya!

Aw... There he goes! I hope he comes back soon!

Man! Mom's gonna freak out! This is so awesome!

[GOHAN laughs] Yeah! Woo-hoo! Yeah!

[GOHAN thinking] My Dad! He's always been

so full of surprises!

[FARMER humming]

[GOHAN] Woo-hoooo!

[FARMER yelps]

I'll be darned!

[GIRL panting]

[BOAR MAN cackles]

Enough of this! Take her out!

[BOAR MAN growls, grunts]

[GIRL screams]

[BOAR MAN grunts]

[GOHAN] Hmm!

[GOHAN yells]

[BOARMAN yelps]

[KHAKI MAN, BOARMAN groan]

Shame on you!

Shooting a gun at a helpless lady!

Fool! Idiot! Dope!

[GOHAN laughs] All wrong! Not even close, friend!

Yaaah! So you wanna know my name, huh?!

I am the defender of justice! And truth!

I... am... the Great--

[GIRL grunts]

[GIRL] You big dummy! How dare you!

What do you think you're doing?!

Now I have to do it all over again!

It took me all day to get that take right

and when I finally did, you blew it!

[DIRECTOR] Cut! What the heck is going on down there?!

Saiyaman's not supposed to be in this scene!

Hey! You! That was a great stunt,

but we've got to stick to the script! Understand?!

[GOHAN] Who me?! Me, sir?!

No, my mom! Of course you! Hot Shot!

There are plenty of stuntmen in this town!

The next time you do that you're fired!

I am?

Places! Let's see if we can get it right this time, people!

[CREW] Aw, man!

[BOARMAN] We almost had it, dude!

[KHAKI MAN] Yeah! That guy was crazy!

He's lucky we didn't kill him!

They're... actors?

All right! Let's get it right now, folks!

We're almost a week behind schedule as it is!

[GOHAN] Wow! I can't believe it!

They're actually making a movie out of Saiyaman!

Goten's gonna flip!

[DIRECTOR] Camera!

[CAMERA MAN] Rolling!

[DIRECTOR] Action!

[SAIYAMAN] No! I'm scared of heights!

Please! Don't let go!

Nobody told me that I'd have to do this!

Don't let go! Please!

Whatever you do, don't let go! Let me off this thing!

Excuse me, sir! What are we gonna do?!

We're going to fire him, that's what!

I can't believe this,

that guy was a dead ringer for Saiyaman!

Where are we going to find another guy like that?!

We're already a week behind!

[GOHAN laughs] Do you really think that guy looks like me?!

What?! You?!

[GOHAN] Well, I just mean like Saiyaman!

I think I look alot more like Saiyaman than he does!

He doesn't look anything like Saiyaman!

Darn it! You're right!

But at this point, I'll take anybody!

Even a pathetic guy like that!

[DIRECTOR] All right, people! Places! This is it!

Uhh! Excuse me, sir!

What exactly am I supposed to do?!

[DIRECTOR] Announce to the villains who you are!

Now! Are you ready?!

[GOHAN] Yeah!

[DIRECTOR] All right, Hot Shot, let's see what you've got!

Camera?!

[ASST. DIRECTOR] Saiyaman Arrives! Take one!

--[CAMERA MAN] Rolling. --[DIRECTOR] Action!

I am the defender of liberty and justice!

Champion of the weak!

Shielder of oppression!

Cut!

Uh?

What the heck was that?! No! No! No! No! Look!

You're a superhero, you fool!

Why are you dancing around like a cheerleader?!

Hm?! Cheerleader?!

Now do it like Saiyaman!

Take note! Peace will prevail on Earth!

Saiyaman is here!

Preposterous!

Love is the answer! Not war!

[DIRECTOR] Cut!

I have come to set the captives free!

Evil will shudder when it hears my name!

[DIRECTOR] No!

Downpressors will have nowhere to hide!

[DIRECTOR] No, no, no!

I am the Great Saiyaman!

Cut! Enough! Enough!

Knock it off!

We're not trying to spoof Saiyaman

and make him look like an idiot!

This is a serious action-adventure movie!

But... I... was serious!

Nonsense! I know your type!

Punks! Shape up, kid! Now! Or your career's over!

Right! Sir!

[ASST. DIRECTOR] All right everybody! Places!

This is the Saiyaman Jump scene!

Huh?! Oh, man! Look how late it is!

I need to tell Mom the news!

And I still have to make it to Master Roshi's.

Quiet! Now! Ready?! Action!

[DIRECTOR] Just jump, bonehead!

Stick your arms out and fly! It's not dangerous!

That's a professional crane operator over there!

Hey!

[DIRECTOR] Now stop being a coward and jump!

I'm afraid I have to go!

Yes! Yes! Are you getting this!

Yes! Yes! Oh! No!

[CREW yells]

Sorry! Gotta get going! Bye!

It's not possible! Tell me it's not true!

He was the real thing!

[KRILLIN] What?! No way! Goku's gonna compete!

I don't believe it! This is amazing! Wow!

Hey guys... This is Krillin.

He doesn't fight anymore so he let his hair grow out.

Goku! Well, whaddya know...?

[KRILLIN] Well if you and Goku and Vegeta are going to enter,

why should I enter?!

[GOHAN] Aw, c'mon, Krillin! It'll be great!

[KRILLIN] I know it would be fun and all!

It would be like old times again!

Fighting in another World Championship with Goku

almost sounds too good to be true!

But I have to start training a lot

and I don't know how my wife would feel about that!

--[GOHAN] Hm? --[KRILLIN] Huh?

[MARON] Hey, Dad! Get the ball! Get it, Dad!

[KRILLIN] There you go, Maron, you little fire-fly!

That a girl!

Wow! She's adorable, Krillin!

How would you like to see your Dad

compete in a Martial Arts tournament?!

[EIGHTEEN] First she'd wanna know

if there's any prize money involved!

[GOHAN] Oh, hi! Nice to see ya!

And yeah, they pay out to the top five places!

First, the overall winner of the tournament

gets paid ten million Zeni!

Then it goes on down!

Second place gets paid five million...

and third place gets three million...

Enter, Krillin! I will! Why not?

[KRILLIN] Hmm...

[MARON] Hey, dad!

If you fight, I'll watch you!

[KRILLIN] Thanks, sweetheart!

[EIGHTEEN] Come on, Krillin!

[MARON] Yeah! Come on, Dad!

You'll win if you do!

If you say so! I'll do it!

Hey! Maybe I should enter, too!

Whatd'ya think?!

[MARON] No way! You're too old!

Hey, Gohan, let's not tell Piccolo about it,

that way, I'll have a better chance

of getting into the top-five!

Oh! I don't know, Krillin! I was gonna tell him, too!

All right! But if you won't do me this favor,

I'm gonna have to be honest about your outfit!

[GOHAN] Huh?! What do you mean?!

I'm at the pinnacle of style!

I think you've lost your fashion sense

living way out here so long!

Ciao! See ya at the tournament!

Goku? If he's entering, it should be one to remember!

[GOHAN] So, whatd'ya say?!

[PICCOLO] Sure, kid, I'll do it! It actually sounds like fun!

[POPO] I'll bet Dende would enjoy the tournament as well!

That sounds great! Yeah! Come!

Hey, thanks! But, I'm not much of a fighter, Gohan!

I think I'd better stick to healing!

[PICCOLO] I do have one question!

You're not going to wear that in the tournament, are you?

What?! Man! Not you, too!

You don't think my outfit looks good?!

[PICCOLO] Mmm. Gohan... I can't lie to you. It's ridiculous!

Oh, my!

Of all people! Piccolo! I can't believe it! Really!

He wears a turban for goodness sake

and those pointy, little booties!

And who knows what that is that he drapes over his shoulders!

Oh my gosh!

Come to think of it, I used to dress just like him

all those years when I was a kid!

Man! Now I know why he said

my outfit looks ridiculous-- he's jealous!

You know! I guess I haven't even asked my mom

if I can participate in the World Championships!

[GOHAN] Wouldn't that be great: Gohan, son of Goku,

will not be taking part in the World Championships this year

because his mommy won't let him!

How can it be possible that a guy who saved the world

still has to take orders from his mother?!

Whaaat! My gosh!

Goku's coming back after all this time!

This is unbelievable!

[GOHAN] Mm-hm.

[CHICHI] Oh, my goodness! I hardly know what to think!

Your father's really coming home!

Good news, son! You get to meet your daddy!

Isn't that wonderful?!

You get to meet your daddy! Ohhh!

Good heavens, boys! This is too good to be true!

I'm in trouble though, aren't I?!

I look so old now

and Goku probably hasn't aged a bit!

People don't age in Other World, do they?!

Maybe if I have a facial and get my hair done

and I keep myself from crying so my face

doesn't get all puffy! Whatd'ya think boys?

[GOHAN] Yeah, sure, Mom!

And, uh, by the way, since Dad's competing in

the World Championships, you think I could compete as well?

Mmmm! Wow! My stars! Huh? Gohan, what are you saying?!

[GOHAN] That I'd like your permission

to enter the World Championships

and to miss some school so I can train...

What?! Are you serious?!

[GOHAN] Yeah, of course!

[CHICHI] Ahhhh! Gohan, you've got to be kidding!

You know your studies take priority over everything else!

What's wrong with you?!

[GOHAN] Mom! Dad's only gonna be here for a day!

And I'll never get this chance again!

[CHICHI] You'll never get this chance to prepare

for college again if you blow this one, Gohan!

[GOHAN] But the winner gets paid ten million Zeni, Mom!

If I win, it will be like getting a big scholarship!

[CHICHI shrieks] You could get a PHD with that kind of cash!

Wow! My son, a PHD! How wonderful!

Of course, you can compete in the tournament, Gohan!

Of course you can!

[GOHAN] Goodnight, Goten!

[GOTEN] Goodnight, Gohan!

Hey! You're gonna help me train, aren't you?

I'm going to need a real strong training partner!

Sure!

[GOTEN] Gohan?

[GOHAN] Hmm?

[GOTEN] What's my dad like?!

[GOHAN] He's like an angel, Goten!

[GOTEN] What's an angel, like?

[GOHAN] I don't know!

I just know that when they're around,

you feel happy inside!

All right! Nice warm-up! Now! Let's get started!

[GOHAN] This is a little trick Dad taught me!

Pretty cool, wouldn't ya say?

Yeah!

[GOHAN chuckles]

[NARRATOR] Gohan has begun his training

for the World Martial Arts Championship!

And with Goku joining in,

and all of the Z-fighters following suit,

this tournament promises to be the best one ever!
