Original subtitles

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

Majin Buu continued his random destruction

of the cities of the Earth.

With no greater motive than his own childish amusement,

Buu had already annihilated two thirds

of the planet's population.

And still counting!

[laughs]

[NARRATOR] Meanwhile,

Goku arrived at the Check-in Station.

Goku, I'm surprised at you.

You're not going to cut in line, are you?

I sure am! Don't tell!

You crack me up!

So long!

[NARRATOR] Inside, a grumpy King Yemma confirmed

that Gohan had not checked in! He was alive!

Really? Woo, hoo! Yay, yay! He's not dead! Awesome!

[laughing]

[NARRATOR] Using Instant Transmission,

Goku was able to find the special sanctuary

where Supreme Kai was overseeing Gohan's training

with the Z Sword!

[NARRATOR] It was a hair-raising arrival for Goku,

but now that father and son have reunited,

let the training begin!

[GOTEN, TRUNKS] Fusion! Ha!

[PICCOLO] Again!

[GOTEN, TRUNKS] Fu-sion! Ha!

You're not synchronized!

You've got to stay focused! All right, take a breather.

Listen. It's not just body movement.

Before you become one, you have to be one.

You've got to think the same thoughts,

breathe in the same rhythm!

How can I breathe when he's cuttin' silent ones?

Look who's talking! Your breath smells like death!

It does not!

Does too!

[PICCOLO] Errrgh! Enough!

What do you think you're doing?!

Get a hold of yourselves!

Can't you two sense what's going on below us right now?

Innocent people are being killed

and you're acting like this!

[TRUNKS grumbles]

[sighs]

Errm! All right! Are we ready?

[GOTEN, TRUNKS] Yes...

[PICCOLO] Then let's see it then!

[GOTEN, TRUNKS] Fusion! Ha!

[PICCOLO] Much better! Again!

[GOTEN, TRUNKS] Fusion! Ha!

[PICCOLO] Again!

[GOTEN, TRUNKS] Fusion! Ha!

[ANDROID 18] Fusion! Uhh!

I tell ya! It's enough to drive someone crazy, isn't it?

[ANDROID 18] I even dreamed about it last night.

Puar was trying to fuse with the Ox-King!

[BULMA] Ooh! How awful!

Hey!

What? You think you're about to win, don't you?

Well, forget it!

[KRILLIN] Let's see. Uh, which one do I want? Uh...

[KRILLIN] Hmm... It's so hard to know.

[ROSHI] Hm?

How strange! Fusing together!

It's hard to imagine those two as one boy.

[ROSHI] I wonder if boys can fuse with girls.

[BULMA] Good questions.

Aaah!

[ROSHI laughs] Why, thank you!

That's just the card I wanted you to pick!

Heh, heh!

Haaa...!

[grunting]

Huaaah!

[GOKU] Wow! Cool!

Haaa!

[GOKU] Yeah! Nice!

Looking good, Gohan! I'm impressed!

[chuckles]

[GOKU] I can't believe that you've mastered it

like that in one day!

That's incredible, son!

[SUPREME KAI] Yes! Handling the Z Sword in this fashion

is unprecedented.

You should be very proud of yourself!

[chuckles nervously]

Gohan! Whatd'ya say we put that baby to the test

and see how sharp it is?

Sure!

[GOKU] Great. I'll toss. You slice.

Sounds good to me, Dad!

Let's see now. Hmm... Yeah! Why not?

Uhuhhh, aah!

[GOKU] Let's start out with this small one.

[GOHAN] Right, Dad. Ready when you are.

[SUPREME KAI] That's a small one?

'Kay! Coming atcha!

I hope this doesn't over-stress the blade!

Nah! It'll handle it like a champion!

Just watch and see!

After all, this is the Z Sword!

[GOKU] All right! Batter up!

[grunts]

[GOHAN] Hu-aah!

[gasps]

[laughs]

My! That was superb, Gohan!

Thank you!

[KIBITO] Yes! Amazing! Truly!

[laughs]

I think you're ready for a big one, son!

[SUPREME KAI] Just a minute!

[GOKU] Uh?

How about more density and a little less mass?

Here, Goku. Catch.

Eee!

Whoa! What's this?

That is the hardest known metal in the Universe.

It's called Katchin.

Oh, Katchin?

[SUPREME KAI] Yes. This will be a much better test.

[GOKU] You're not kidding!

Hey. Gohan. Ready?

[GOHAN] Let her fly, Dad!

All right! Here it comes!

[GOKU yells]

[GOHAN yells]

[yells]

Eee!

Uh!

Huh? Oh, no! Now it's the Z Dagger!

[chuckles nervously]

Please! No! Tell me it's not true, Kibito!

It's true! It snapped in two!

Uh, oh! Wow!

I-I guess it's probably called the "hardest metal

in the universe" for a reason, isn't it.

But he who masters the sword is supposed to have

the greatest power in the Universe!

Wield the sword and you can not be rivaled! It's legend!

Huh! I guess they must have exaggerated a little bit!

Hey, guys! Look!

There is definitely a bright side to all of this.

The sword training has made me a lot stronger and faster.

See! Maybe the legend means that the person

who is able to master the handling of the Z Sword

attains the greatest power in the Universe!

Hey, whatd'ya think?

Yes! It's possible!

Your power has definitely increased from handling it!

And if you're stronger at this level,

that means you'll be much stronger as a Super Saiyan!

Mm! Mmm!

Yes! Sure! That must be it!

Gohan doesn't need the sword, he's already gained the power!

Yeah but, does Gohan's power surpass Majin Buu's?

I'm not so sure.

[gasps] What are you saying, Goku?

That we don't have a chance?

[MALE VOICE] Quiet!

[BOTH shriek]

[MAN chuckles] Ahh! Much better!

[chuckles]

Uh, sir. We were in the middle of training.

[MAN] You call that training?

[laughs]

[SUPREME KAI] Who are you? How did you get here?

Who me?

Check out the hair-style, youngster.

And the ear-loops! Yes! Yes! Oh, and the dashing looks!

I'm just an older version of you!

Fifteen generations to be precise! I'm Kai!

What?! Fifteen... generations ago?

What? There're two Supreme Kai's?

[GOHAN] Mm-mmm!

[indistinct chatter]

[ATTENDANT 1] Please remain calm!

King Yemma is working as fast as he can!

Uhh! Excuse me, King Yemma?

What now?

Please, sir. We've been working around the clock.

Can we please just take a break?

Take a break?!

Uhh! We're starving, our armpits stink,

and our feet ache!

We just want to take a shower and get something to eat!

[ATTENDANT 1] My horns are throbbing, King Yemma!

We just need a little rest!

A little rest would do us all good!

But while I'm in charge, we get the job done first!

[BOTH sigh]

Try to remember the days when there weren't any souls.

And the two of you stood around doing nothing!

While still getting paid!

[BOTH whimper]

[ATTENDANT 3] King Yemma! More arrivals!

How many?

[ATTENDANT 3] They're all from Earth, sir.

We estimate one million five hundred thousand!

One million?!

[ATTENDANT 3] And a half, sir. Yes.

[YEMMA grunts]

This is ridiculous! Where's Goku when you need him?

You're how many years old?

Fifteen generations?

Remarkable, aye?

[coughs wheezingly]

Well then. Now. Yes.

I'm sure you're wondering how I'm still alive. So listen!

There was a terrible villain who lived way back then.

Well, not as terrible as Majin Buu,

but still pretty bad.

The only thing he feared was that

I would use my awesome powers to stop him

and his evil ways. So he tricked me.

He sealed me away inside the Z Sword!

From whence I came.

[SUPREME KAI] You mean you were trapped inside

the Z Sword all this time?

[OLD KAI] Mm, hmm! I sure was! Now I've got a cramp!

I don't think this guy looks as strong as he says, do you?

Not really.

Hey! Let's put him to the test!

What? Dad? I don't know if...

[GOKU] Sshhh! Watch!

Ya!

[OLD KAI] Aah!

[ALL yell]

[SUPREME KAI] Oh no, oh no, oh no!

Oh my dear ancestor!

[KIBITO] Please! Venerable Sir! Are you all right?

How dare you?! Babies! Babies in diapers!

That's what you two are!

Trying an attack like that on a fearsome presence like me!

Are you cracked?!

Aah!

But sir! That attack was just child's play!

My little brother coulda handled that!

All of my enemies feared me!

But not because of my strength!

My menacing capacities are what struck terror

into their hearts!

Capacities?

Menacing?

Hmm? What do you mean?

I'm not telling! Nope!

Give me one good reason why I should! Huh?

Blaaa, naaa!

[GOKU] Well, hmm... Let me see here...

I got it! My old master likes girly magazines!

We'll get you some!

Oh, boy! Uhh, Dad?

Goku, please! How inappropriate!

Hm! I have no need for such things!

With my omniscient vision,

I can see girls playing volleyball on the beach!

[laughs]

You call yourself a Kai?!

[GOKU] Hey, old man!

How 'bout we get you a date with a real live Earth woman!

Mm! Is she a good kisser?

Yeah! Of course!

[laughs]

[GOKU thinking] What luck!

This guy's just like Master Roshi!

Dad? Are you nuts?

How are you going to find someone

that wants to kiss that guy?

Hey! Don't worry. I can't go back to Earth, but you can.

This is all too simple. You can handle it, son.

It might require a little sacrifice, though.

Can you get Videl to do it?

Dad, I'm not going to ask my girlfriend

to kiss that old relic!

Okay! Okay! Sheesh! Who else do we know?

[ROSHI] Well, I haven't heard any Fusion Ha's in a while.

Piccolo must be giving them a break.

It feels a little strange to be playing cards

with the world being destroyed right beneath us. Hmm!

How weird! I just had an intense deja-vu, you guys!

Two cards.

Strange! I must've lived through this before. Yeah!

[chuckles]

Then you know you're about to lose!

Let's see. Come on! Please...

Yay! I did it! Ha-ha-ha!

Royal Flush! Read 'em and weep!

[ROSHI, KRILLIN yell]

[BULMA giggles]

[GOKU sighs]

Hm...

Okay, I have someone in mind

but she's not exactly a spring chicken.

Hm! It doesn't really matter.

As long as she's a good kisser!

Hey what about Bulma? She'd do it!

Do you think she's a good kisser?

What? Why are you asking me? I don't want any part of this!

Just getting the details straight!

Now was that with lipstick or without?

With! Definitely with! Yes!

Either way would be fine, really.

I think it's worth it if this guy's powers can help us win!

Bulma will listen to you Gohan.

One kiss could save the world!

Dad! Have you looked at that guy? Come on!

And what if his so called powers don't help?

Do you know how mad Bulma would be at me

if she kissed him for nothing?

It's a done deal.

Man, you're good!

So what are these "capacities" of yours?

[clears throat]

How shall I say this?

Guess I'll put it in layman's terms.

If I use my powers on a kitty cat that goes "meow,"

he'll go... [lion's roar]

Get it? [lion's roar]

In other words, an ordinary cat becomes a lion.

So you see...

Therein lies my talent--

I awaken people's sleeping powers!

[SUPREME KAI, KIBITO gasp]

Oh, so then... you're not really that strong yourself.

You fool! I can take a person far beyond his limits!

Ugh! The bird becomes an eagle! Get it?!

Yeah, it's just a little hard to believe.

[chuckles nervously]

[OLD KAI] Young people!

You! How would you like to

have your sleeping powers awakened?

Who? Me?

Yeah, you! Get over there!

Okay...

A guy like you with the power to break the Z Sword--

I can do something with you. Yes, you have great potential!

Funny though.

I always thought it would be a Kai

that broke the Z sword and rescued me.

But you're more of a shoe-shine boy than a hero, huh?

The Kai's being rescued by mere mortals.

Things have sure gone down hill.

Mm! Well, sir, I've always tried my best.

[OLD KAI] Keep your chin up, lad!

Keep your chin up!

There. Stay where you are, son.

Remain perfectly still.

Right.

Now just relax.

Wake up you lazy, no good powers.

Mmm!

Sleeping all of this time! How dare you?! Wake up!

[SUPREME KAI gulps]

[OLD KAI moans, grunts]

Uh...

[OLD KAI mumbles nonsensically]

[OLD KAI mumbles nonsensically]

Wake up, you! Sleeping powers! Wake up now!

Whoo, wooo, wooo!

[GOHAN] Uh, excuse me.

--[GOHAN] Uh... sir. --[OLD KAI] Quiet, please!

Be still. This is what sets the mood.

Sets the mood? But I thought...

Well, stop thinking. This is just the opening ceremony.

[nonsensical mumbles continue]

Good grief! Wow! What next?

Excuse me. How long is this going to take?

Five more hours. Power raising.

Twenty more after that.

[GOHAN] Aaah...!

[chuckles]

Well, bye guys. I'm gonna go take a little nap.

Do your best, Gohan!

Dad! Don't go!

[GOKU] Get me up when your sleeping powers wake up.

[chants nonsensically]

Well, Kibito this is quite an unexpected turn of events.

Yes, sir. Very odd.

Why me?

[GOTEN, TRUNKS] Fusion! Ha!

Fu...sion! Ha!

Good! You've got it! Your form is nearly perfect.

[BOTH] Ah-aah!

All right. Now it's time to see

if you two can actually do it!

Boys. Align your energies. This is it!

[BOTH] Right!

[PICCOLO] Remember. Breathe in the same rhythm.

And when you see each other,

don't think of yourselves as separate or different.

You're just seeing another part of yourself.

Okay! Ready?!

[BOTH] Yes!

[NARRATOR] It seems that Trunks and Goten are getting closer

to reaching their goal.

But what about Gohan?

Does the mysterious old Kai really have the power

to bring him to higher heights?

Gohan seems skeptical!

As Supreme Kai marvels at his ancient ancestor,

Goku drifts off into a dreamy sleep,

worlds away from any cares or concerns.

He'll need his rest...

for the next action packed episode of Dragon Ball Z!
