Original subtitles

[NARRATOR] Previously on Dragon Ball Z...

Hidden deep underground, the sleeping Majin Buu

was closely monitored by Babidi and the demon king Dabura.

Their goal: to collect enough energy to free the monster

from his cocoon and unleash him upon the unsuspecting Earth.

[NARRATOR] Krillin and Piccolo learned the hard way

just how dangerous Babidi could be, but that didn't scare Goku.

[NARRATOR] He led Gohan, Vegeta and the Supreme Kai

boldly into Babidi's spacecraft.

But the evil wizard had stocked his ship with warriors

waiting on each level to do them in!

[NARRATOR] Using his Super Saiyan strength,

Vegeta made short work of Pui Pui,

the fighter guarding Stage One of Babidi's spaceship.

But Stage Two would prove much more difficult.

Standing in Goku's way was the monster Yakon.

A beast with a sweet tooth for light who found the energy

of the Super Saiyan extra tasty.

[YAKON roars]

[NARRATOR] Yakon planned to make a meal out of Goku,

but he bit off more than he could chew,

and that caused the gluttonous ghoul to burst at the seems.

Once the smoke cleared, Goku and his friends

would be free to advance to Stage Three.

A proposition which made Babidi rather nervous.

[BABIDI] ...Who will protect me?

[DABURA laughs]

For Stage Three, I will be the warrior they must battle.

I am Dabura. I am the Demon King!

And you will have my word that I will fill Majin Buu

with their energy when I destroy every one of them.

[GOHAN] You'd think Babidi could have at lest

varied up the décor a little bit.

All these Stages look the same...

[VEGETA] Get used to it.

I have a feeling we're going to be here for a while.

Well, hopefully the next fighter through that door

will be worth the wait.

Gohan! Your next!

Goku! Listen to me! This is not a game.

Babidi's henchmen come from the four corners of the universe and

every one of them is incredibly strong.

We've all been lucky so far,

but I think from now on we should all fight together.

Nah. Don't you worry about it, Supreme Kai.

Gohan doesn't need any help.

Besides, that would be unfair!

[gasps] Unfair?!

Well... Vegeta and I both got to fight alone,

so don't you think Gohan should have a turn for himself, too?

[GOHAN] Yeah! I can take care of myself.

Just wait, I'll show you!

[whimpers]

Yes! Go and get them!

[chuckles] Master, I am going to crush them all!

Ah! Where are you going, sir? Level Three is the other way!

[BABIDI] Dabura's going to get into the fighting spirit

in the meditation room!

The meditation room?

[grunts]

Ah, I see!

That's how he focuses his incredible power!

[BABIDI laughs]

Guard! Listen, I don't want you to open that door

until Dabura tells you to.

Yes sir!

[BABIDI] I'm glad he's taking this seriously.

He can be such a devil!

Oh, I just can't wait to see the look on all of their faces

when Dabura walks through the door.

[giggles]

[GOHAN] Boy, it's getting late...

How long is Babidi going to keep us waiting?

Relax, Gohan.

He's probably just having trouble finding anyone

strong enough to fight you.

[GOHAN] Yeah...

So, uh, I wonder how they're doing

back at the World Martial Arts Tournament?

[GOHAN] I don't know, Dad.

I mean, we did sorta leave 'em in a bit of a bind.

I would have preferred to fight you there, Kakarot,

than come to this place.

This has been a waste of my time battling these cretins.

[GOHAN chuckles] I know what you mean, Vegeta,

I was looking forward to duking it out in the ring

with my Dad, too.

[GOKU] Oh yeah?

I'm ready for the both of you! Anytime, anywhere!

[SUPREME KAI thinking] These Saiyans are impossible!

They enjoy the thrill of a challenge so much

that they ignore the dangers of fighting!

Reckless!

[CROWD shouting, yelling]

Hey! What's the hold up?!

How long do we have to wait?!

You better start the match or else!

[ANNOUNCER whimpers]

So you want to disqualify them?

[FRIAR D] Well, they haven't come back yet!

[FRIAR E] It's our only choice!

[OX-KING] Did I miss anything?

Are they ready to start?

No way.

They can't start until Goku and the other guys come back.

Bulma, I'm worried. Where do you think they could be?

[growls] They're pretty far away, wherever they are...

And I sense that they're in some sort of trouble, too.

[YAMCHA] Huh...

Okay, if they're not back within the hour, they're disqualified!

[FRIAR D] But that leaves only five fighters

in the whole tournament!

[FRIAR C] Hmm...

That'll never work.

[TRUNKS] Oh no, did we miss the start of the competition?

[GOTEN] I think we're just in time!

[MR. SATAN] Hmph.Those sissy cowards haven't come back yet.

I guess I scared them off.

Oh well, the show must go on!

At least the four of you have enough guts

to stick around and fight me.

[KILLA talks incoherently]

[TRUNKS grunts]

Well, it's time!

Look, it's Mr. Satan!

Hey, Mister Satan!

[CROWD cheers]

[CROWD] Mr. Satan! Mr. Satan! Mr. Satan!

Thank you my friends!

I know you came to see a show of strength

and I'm gonna give it to you!

Mr. Satan always comes through for his loyal fans! Yeah!

[CROWD cheers]

You the man, Mister Satan!

Yeah! Come on, show us what you got, Mister Satan!

[MISTER SATAN] Yeah-ha-ha!

[growls, chuckles]

That old guy's a clown, isn't he?

[GOTEN] No. Clowns are funny.

[MR. SATAN] Now, listen here, guys.

The only thing that's gonna satisfy this crowd

is some action.

[FRIAR E] There are only five fighters. What do you suggest?

A battle royale!

[FRIARS] A battle royale?!

[MR. SATAN] Yes!

Disqualify the cowards who took off

and have all five remaining fighters duke it out

in the ring at the same time.

The crowd will go wild! They'll love it!

In fact, this'll probably be

the single greatest moment of their lives!

And you can take that all the way to the bank!

Ha-ha!

Hey! Great idea!

Leave it to Mr. Satan to come up with a great plan like this!

Uh, Mr. Satan?

It's just that...

Well, I'm a bit concerned...

Yeah? Speak up!

It sounds like you got a problem with my great idea or something.

Uh?

All right, if you don't like it, I guess I'll just go home...

No don't do that! I-It's a wonderful idea, sir!

Good! It's settled! Tell the crowd!

Right!

Ladies and gentlemen!

Sorry to keep you waiting, but I now have some terrific news.

At the suggestion of Mister Satan,

we have decided to hold a battle royale

among the five remaining fighters!

All five will take to the ring simultaneously,

and the last one standing will be the winner!

[CROWD cheering]

Yeah! Three cheers for Mister Satan!

Oh my! I think I'm in love!

Mister Satan it looks like your battle royale idea is a hit.

It was very courageous of you to suggest it.

Uh. What?

Well, yes. Of course.

Defending your title against four challengers at once

is no easy feat.

To be honest, if you were anyone else, I'd say you were a fool!

[laughs] The last thing a champion like me

ever worries about is the competition!

Yes, of course.

Everyone knows that you're the best fighter on planet Earth.

Right? He's great!

[MR. SATAN thinking] I'm done for!

A battle royale, huh?

Oh no, do you think it's going to start

before Goku and Gohan get back from where ever they are?

[ROSHI growls] That's "if" they come back!

What are you saying, old man?! Of course they'll be back!

[sighs] How else will I win my prize money?

Now let me tell you the names of the participants

in the battle royale, and I'll start with

the most important fighter first!

You know him, you love him! It's Mr. Satan!

[CROWD cheers]

[MR. SATAN thinking] This is it! It's showtime!

[MR. SATAN grunts]

[squeals, whimpers]

--[MR. SATAN yells] --[CROWD cheers loudly]

[ANNOUNCER] Now, here's the blonde bombshell

with the wacky name! Let's hear it for beautiful Number 18!

[Yo! I got your number, baby!

[ANDROID 18] Hmph.

[OX-KING] Hey, Number 18!

Good luck!

Go, Mommy! Get 'em!

--[ANDROID 18 giggles] --Next, we have a guy

who was defeated in the first round of the last tournament!

Say hello to Mighty Mask!

This is it, Goten! Let's give the people a show!

[GOTEN] Let's do it!

[BOTH wail]

Now meet our next contestant.

He's a force to be reckoned with! It's Killa!

[grunts]

And last but certainly not least...

This fighter made it all the way to the finals

last time he was here...

The ladies love him! Here he is! Jewl!

[FEMALE CROWD MEMBERS] We love you, Jewl! [giggling]

[ANNOUNCER] There you have it!

The battle royale will be among these five skilled fighters!

[grunts]

Are you ready, Goten?

[GOTEN] I'm kinda nervous.

We never fought in the adult division before...

Nahh.

[ANNOUNCER] There you have it, ladies and gentlemen!

One of these five fighters will be our next World Champion!

So don't move a muscle,

this colossal brawl is about to begin!

[KILLA talks incoherently]

Ah! No thanks.

It's not Mr. Satan I'm worried about, it's Number 18!

And once she's down, I'm coming after you, stupid. Right?

[GOTEN] Yeah!

[KILLA gasps, stammers]

Man, you talkin' funny!

Hi there... Do you come here often?

You sure are beautiful... Why not throw the fight

and have dinner with me instead?

Whatta ya say, sweetheart? Come on, it'll just be the two of us.

I promise.

Get lost...

...you insect.

[JEWL] What?! What'd you say?! Don't you know who I am?!

All right! It's time!

So... Glue your eyes to the ring and your backs to your seats!

Get ready, 'cause here comes the Battle Royale!

[CROWD cheers]

[ANDROID 18] Hm?

[growls]

[CROWD] Mi-ster Sa-tan! Mi-ster Sa-tan! Mi-ster Sa-tan!

[MR. SATAN thinking] Come on! I'm ready.

What are they waiting for? Let's get this over with!

[JEWL thinking] I'll show her!

No girl has ever turned down a date with me!

[KILLA thinks incoherently]

Now! Begin!

[CROWD roars]

Haaa...!

Killa!

Haa!

[JEWL grunts]

[KILLA squeals]

[JEWL grunts]

[MR. SATAN whimpers]

[KILLA groans, mumbles]

[JEWL groans]

[MR. SATAN whimpers]

Wow! I never would have guessed it!

Both Killa and Jewl are out of it! They're both history!

Look at that! Number 18 kicks butt!

Well, I'll tell ya, that Mighty Mask is pretty good, too!

Yeah! Go, Mom! Get 'em!

[CROWD cheers]

[OX-KING] Hang in there Number 18!

You can do it!

[CHICHI] Give it all you got!

[MR. SATAN thinking] Those two went down easy!

Maybe if I'm lucky, the next two will take each other out!

Yeah... But I'd better keep my guard up!

These guys look kinda tough...

[thinking] At least I still got the crowd on my side.

[ANDROID 18 thinking] That guy with the mask

is no ordinary fighter... He's got an unbelievable punch!

How does he do it with those tiny arms?

Hey, Goten. Listen! Krillin's wife is a whole lot stronger

than he is so we better be careful, okay?

[GOTEN] Yeah, I got ya!

[MR. SATAN] Who wants some of this, huh?!

I got two fists of fury and there's one for each of you!

[TRUNKS] We'll take care of him later.

[GOTEN] Yeah...

[MR. SATAN grunts]

[growls]

[ANNOUNCER] Ladies and gentlemen only three fighters remain

in the battle royale!

Mighty Mask, Number 18, and our current champion Mister Satan!

It's come down to this!

And only one of these three will emerge the victor!

[MR. SATAN chuckles]

[thinking] First, I'll get that Mighty Mask

with a few of my flashiest moves...

[MR. SATAN yells]

[CROWD] Mis-ter Sa-tan! Mis-ter Sa-tan!

[thinking] Now what would be the best way to knock

that 18 girl out of the competition?

[MR. SATAN yells]

[MR. SATAN] Quick and painless! After all I am a gentleman.

[thinking] Those poor saps never knew what hit 'em!

Yeah! I showed them!

[MR. SATAN] Yeah!

[ANNOUNCER] Wow, Mr. Satan is already declaring victory!

That's what I call showmanship!

[thinking] Yeah, I won again! Aw, it was all too easy...

He's such a blockhead.

[GOTEN] That's for sure.

You! You with the mask on!

Are you ready to get the pummeling of your life?!

Pay attention!

I'm gonna teach you real martial arts!

[laughs]

Number 18 first, then Mr. Satan.

Got it?

[GOTEN] Okay!

[yells]

[TRUNKS, GOTEN growl]

[MR. SATAN yells]

[yells]

[TRUNKS growls]

Yaah!

[MR. SATAN gasps]

[gasps]

[ANDROID 18 grunts]

[TRUNKS grunts]

[ANDROID 18 gasping]

[MR. SATAN whimpers]

Wow!

Whee!

Since Goku isn't in the fight,

I guess I'll just have to cheer for Number 18!

Get 'im! Number 18! Go!

[OOLONG] Oh! Oh! Oh!

Yay, Mommy!

[ROSHI] Hmm...

[ROSHI thinking] Eh? What was that?

[TRUNKS] Not that way!

To the right. To the right!

[GOTEN] I'm trying! I'm trying!

[TRUNKS] Whoa!

[TRUNKS gasps]

[GOTEN] Trunks! It's no good! It's time to fly!

[gasps]

[ANNOUNCER] And they're off!

Their fists are flying and so are they!

[BOTH grunting]

[GOKU] Aw, man! What's the hold up?

Let's smash the door in!

No, stop! Don't do that!

I'm sick of all this waiting!

Please!

Whatever you do, Vegeta, you mustn't create a shock!

[BABIDI laughs]

Ah, good...

How's Dabura doing?

Sir! He's still meditating.

[BABIDI] Good!

Soon he'll be ready to go crush the three intruders.

I can hardly wait!

[chuckles]

[NARRATOR] The meditation chamber has served Dabura well.

Now, with his mind and body focused,

his power at its maximum,

the Demon King is ready for battle.

But so are the Z-Fighters!

They know that they've got only one more opponent to beat

before reaching the heart of Babidi's ship

and the evil wizard himself.

And Gohan's itching for a fight!

[NARRATOR] Meanwhile, the Battle Royale rages on!

Number 18 and Mighty Mask vie for the top prize,

and while they exchange volley after volley

high above the Earth, Mr. Satan's chances of winning

the Tournament are crashing to the ground!

Faced with not one, but two challengers

of incredible strength and speed,

it seems the champion will have no choice

but to relinquish his title...

Which of these fighters will win the day?

Stay tuned for scenes from the next Dragon Ball Z!
