Previously on Dragon Ball:

Goku launched a single-handed assault on Muscle Tower

that brought him face-to-face

with the deadly Major Metallitron.

This monstrous agent of the Red Ribbon Army

fought like a one-man killing machine

as he attempted to terminate our little hero.

And as Goku soon discovered,

a machine is exactly what he was!

That's right– the Major was a robot!

And with the firepower of a small army at his disposal,

this metallic menace kept Goku hopping

as he tried to bash, smash and crash his way to victory.

The situation grew more desperate by the minute,

but as Goku prepared to fire a final Kamehameha blast...

... the bionic bully ran out of steam.

Hmm. Looks like someone forgot to charge their batteries.

Is it really over?

Enter Ninja Murasaki

"Ninja Murasaki is Coming!"

Augh!

Luck is not a skill, but this child has plenty of it.

Murasaki...

Eliminate this nuisance immediately!

Aye!

The end is near, little lamb.

They call him a messenger of death;

swift as the wind, and utterly lethal.

You will not see or hear him, but he is there.

He strikes without warning.

If you happen to catch a glimpse of his silhouette,

then you are already dead.

Those foolish enough to resist him pay a terrible price.

And now, little lamb, he is coming after you.

Good spirits, watch over Goku and keep him safe.

Hello? Is anybody there?

Well if you are, I hope you're ready!

'Cause here I come!

Wha–What is this place?

It's so dark.

Hey, what–

It feels like a rock...

Who put that in the middle of the floor?!

Is that a...

It almost looks like they've got a whole forest in here.

Why would someone wanna plant trees inside?

I wish there was some light so I could see better.

Wow, this is–

Whoa!

Whoa!

Who is that?

Hey, who's there? Show yourself!

You are trespassing on private property.

You are the first person to ever reach

the fourth floor of Muscle Tower uninvited.

I am here to make sure you are also the last.

Who are you? And where are you?

I am a messenger of death.

The great ninja Murasaki.

The only time you will see me

is just before your final breath!

He's close. I can feel it.

But where?

Hi-ya!

You little brat!

Whew! That was close!

You weren't supposed to dodge that!

Okay, it's my turn!

Show yourself!

Right now!

You dare to challenge me?!

So be it!

Ah, what's the matter?

You can't find me? Try to keep up!

Haha!

Haha! Hoho!

Hohoho!

Hahaha!

Yah!

What's this?

Hey, did you drop this?

Give that back! Give it to me right now!

Give it! Now! Now! Now! It's mine!

Give it–Give it back to me! Mine! Mine!

Is that what you call showing my sisters the sights?!

You thief!

This is my personal property! Have you no shame?

Are you trying to ruin me?

No... you can keep it.

Thank you...

What did you do that for?

Ha! You think you are so clever.

Fool!

You have only seen what I have allowed.

But now you shall see nothing. I am invisible!

Yes, feel my power!

I am as transparent as cellophane!

Tremble!

For I am as the warm wind blows, silent but deadly!

Uhh... I see you.

Impossible! You are delirious with fear!

But you're behind the flag.

Huh?

I told Mother to put the tree pattern

on both sides!

Here, you see? Now I am invisible! Haha!

It's official...

He's a complete moron.

So you saw through my simple disguise.

Good... Now we can get on to more important matters.

Go to the tree and count,

and I will show you a trick beyond your imagination.

So we're going to play a game?

Ninjas don't play games! Understand?

This is a highly complicated maneuver!

What's it called?

It's... classified.

Go to a tree, count to 30, and try to find me!

Okay. I guess I can do that.

One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine, ten...

...thirteen, fourteen, fifteen...

...eighteen, nineteen...

...twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five...

Twe–

Uh... twe–uh...

Hey, what comes after twenty-five?

Don't turn around! Keep your eyes shut!

I am dealing with powerful forces,

which your tiny little mind cannot possibly fathom!

To become the rock requires privacy!

That means no peeking!

Wow, is the rock empty inside?

Intolerable!

How can you hope to comprehend the way of the Ninja

when you can't even count past number twenty-five?!

You are unworthy of my time!

Learn to count!

I know how to count...

I only get stuck on that one number...

Twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five...

Then comes twenty-six!

Good. Now save your counting for the tree.

And this time, be sure to keep your eyes closed

until you have recited all thirty numbers!

If you forget your place, then make something up.

I don't care, just keep counting, okay?!

Okay, okay, I understand.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

eight, nine...

Twenty-six, twenty-seven,

twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty!

Peek-a-boo, where are you?

Knock knock, open up!

Hope he's not down there.

Hello?

CONCEAL

Knock-knock, open up!

Where's that coming from?

He'll never find me down here.

I am incognito. I am like the fish.

Clever as the shark. I am one with the water.

Hey! Go away, frog!

Tag! You're it!

What's the matter with you?!

Are you crazy?! Just look at my tongue!

Look what you did to me, you savage monkey boy!

That was a dirty trick!

But don't worry– I'll pay you back.

Do you want me to hide while you count this time?

I am done with such child's play!

Witness the ninja's speed!

Follow me, little tortoise.

Just try to keep up with my dust!

Uh... uh...

Oh, a race! This'll be fun! Yipee!

You fool!

No one can match my speed! No one!

He's getting closer!

Time to slow down, boy!

Oww! Owowow!

I guess you get the point, huh? Ha!

Never follow in the footsteps of a ninja!

I'm back!

You nuisance!

You–You little brat!

You will suffer for this!

Moron... He is a moron...

Why me?

Get to work, Sergeant Major!

Do your job! Kill him! Kill him now!

Yes, sir. I will not fail you.

The boy will die...

...immediately.

My blade will see to that. Oho!

Now no more games.

Okay.

Oblivion... awaits you.

Who's that?

Is he on the next floor?

Enough talk!

My sword, once drawn, has never known defeat.

Can you say the same thing about your stick?!

Here!

Now you have a tail! Just like mine!

I'm gonna need my pole back!

You... will pay dearly... for this...

Can we break for a snack soon?

My favorite sword!

What have you done?!

Sorry, but nothing can beat my Power Pole.

Can we eat now?

I am unarmed.

Will you not fight me with your bare hands?

Okay. Sure.

What great confidence you have in yourself.

Wahh!

That wasn't fair!

You said you didn't have a weapon!

You really are a fool!

This is a match of life or death.

Who said anything about being fair?

You lied. You're not a very nice person.

Wahh!

Ohohohoho! Ahahahaha!

Good! Well played.

The outcome... satisfactory.

Game over! I win!

Has the unthinkable happened?

Has Goku fallen victim to Murasaki's deception?

Or is he just playing dead?

If he is down for the count,

things don't look good for Suno's peaceful village.

For without Goku to stop him,

General White can once again use the destructive force

of Muscle Tower to make good

on all of his dastardly intentions.

And what of the Village Chief,

locked somewhere high atop the fortress?

Who will rescue him?

If Goku can't do it, no one can.

There are many questions to be answered,

but one thing is certain:

With our hero at the mercy of the diabolical Red Ribbon Army,

no one is safe.

On the next danger-filled episode of Dragon Ball!

Be as brave as you can be, a childlike love of fantasy,

The world is a mystery for you and me.

A miracle, an adventure too, a single wish waits for you,

The beating of your heart will see you through.

When you think you can't go on, give it another try,

The power of your youth is strong, and as big as the sky.

Search all over the valley, the mountains and you'll see...believing in yourself sets you free!

Come on, I'll give you romance!

Come on, I'll give you paradise!

Liberate the “you” that you keep inside.

Come on, I'll give you romance!

Come on, I'll give you paradise!

Make your dreams come true; you'll see fantasy...magic can happen to you!

Heya! I'm Goku!

Geez! That despicable fellow!

They say being careless is your greatest enemy,

But that ninja sure knows a lot of techniques!

Huh!? This time there's five of 'em!

Which one's the real one?

What an awesome technique!
