Previously on Dragon Ball...

In an effort to recover the stolen Dragon Balls

and Dragon Radar, Goku pursued the wily General Blue

through the skies on his Flying Nimbus!

In the end, the high-speed aerial chase crash-landed

them both in a bizarre place known as Penguin Village.

There, with the help of some new friends,

Goku was able to recover the four magic balls,

but Blue managed to escape with the Radar!

Luckily, a local scientist, Sembei Norimaki,

was able to help him construct a new one,

thus enabling our hero to once again resume his quest.

Almost there.

Maybe this next one will finally be my grandpa's Dragon Ball.

The Sacred, Yet Ominous Land of Karin

The Sacred, Yet Ominous Land of Karin

"The Land of Korin"

Ah! What I wouldn't give for some conditioner.

This heat is absolutely murdering my hair!

It's that little runt's fault

that I'm stranded out here like this.

I promise, he is going to pay for every single split-end!

Meanwhile, at Red Ribbon Army Headquarters...

Enter!

Excuse me, Commander,

but the boy has been tracked traveling west,

just as you expected.

Hmm...

Right into the hands of Captain Yellow...

That reminds me, has he been able to locate

the Dragon Ball yet?

No sir, he's had quite a few setbacks.

Well, that figures...

Enough! I've had it with all these silly games!

Buffoons!

They've been diggin' here for days now, and no results!

What you want?

Captain Yellow, sir!

We have located the Dragon Ball. I'm looking at it right now!

Where is it?

It's down there, sir. Just below us.

I don't see anything.

Look closer to the edge of the crater, sir.

It's there!

Well how about that? Stop the presses!

Ya done somethin' right for once!

I don't know how we're going to retrieve it–

The helicopter, imbecile!

We take the helicopter into the volcano!

Yes, sir!

I'm gonna grow up and catch all the fish in the ocean!

Son, you should not take more than you need.

If you respect nature, she will always take care of you.

Oh...

Yay! That was so fast! Oh, Daddy, you're the best!

Huh?

Noooo!

Dady!

Do not cry. We were never in any danger.

We live under the watchful eye of the Guardian.

We must thank him for protecting us from harm.

I have it. Now get me outta here!

Come on...

Everyone away from here right now!

W-What's happening?

Mount Kana has been disturbed. Something is wrong.

Now, call back headquarters and find out

exactly where the Dragon Ball has gone!

Yes, Captain.

Calling base. Base come in. Come in base.

West. The Dragon Ball has moved approximately

five miles to the west.

Copy that!

Troops! Head west immediately!

It's over.

Daddy, are you okay?

Yes, no damage done.

Huh?

Ow!

Hm...

What is that thing?

I do not know.

I have never seen such an object before.

Oh! It's so pretty!

Ugh! The jungle!

Won't be easy to find a Dragon Ball in there.

Heh. Well, whatever.

This is as good a place as any to set up camp.

Soldiers, prepare to land!

Huh?

Daddy! Those gigantic birds are gonna land on us!

Those are not birds, little one.

Those are vehicles, called helicopters.

Wow! I can't believe anyone would live out here by choice.

Who are you?

Oh, yes. I'm Cap'in Yellow

of the Red Ribbon Army.

We'll be setting up our mobile headquarters right here.

Here?

Yep. And there's plenty of work to go around,

so we can put a big fella like you to good use.

No thanks.

You must leave.

This is no place for people like you. Now, go!

I wasn't askin' for your permission.

Captain Yellow, do you see what's in his hand?

The Dragon Ball!

Now, hand it over, ya painted peasant!

You will receive nothing from me.

Whatever. Pulverize him!

- What the–? - No! No way!

Guns are but useless toys. Get me my spear, Upa!

Sure, Dad!

Do you have any idea who you're tangling with?!

Ya better turn over the ball before you get hurt.

The ball is of no concern to me.

But this is sacred land, and I am here to protect it.

You must pay for the destruction you have caused.

Sacred land?!

You gotta be kiddin' me, this dump?

It is the truth.

The guardian of our people was born here,

and this beautiful monument was built to honor him.

He still lives here still today,

high above us at the top of the tower.

Leave here. Otherwise be prepared to face my wrath.

Daddy, look out! Behind you!

Men! Destroy 'im!

Looks like the Dragon Ball's stopped moving, at least.

Don't you see? Guns can't hurt me!

Good riddance.

Whoa! Daddy!

Stay here while I dispose of these troublemakers.

Okay!

Captain Yellow here.

Are you there headquarters?

Sir, Captain Yellow sounds frantic.

He's calling on the radio right now.

Captain? What?!

The men were overpowered and only you could escape?

What happened to the Dragon Ball?

Well uh, w-we ran into a little snag...

Enough with the excuses, Yellow!

Retrieve the Dragon Ball at all costs!

It's more valuable to this army than your life!

Yes, sir. I-I understand. I-I'll try harder.

Can't you handle anything right?

Commander Red!

Here! Listen up, Yellow!

Uh, he-hello, Commander Red, sir.

You have exactly one hour.

That is 60 short minutes to bring me the Dragon Ball

or else I'll be forced to send in Tao.

Did you say Tao?

But sir, Mercenary Tao? Isn't that a bit excessive?

Can it! I need the ball and the kid eradicated

so I can complete my plans!

Of course if you fail, Tao will exterminate you

along with whoever else gets in his way.

Keep that in mind!

I see. This guy, the obstacle, he has a son.

I'll use the boy as a bargaining chip to get the Dragon Ball

I bet Dad's gonna be really hungry

when he gets back.

Daddy! Help me!

Oh no, Upa! Son?!

Hang on, kid. Now where's your pop?

What do you want with my son?

Ah, there's your devoted dad!

Daddy!

Now, fool.

If you ever wanna see your son back, give me the ball.

Just toss it right to me. Understand?

That does it!

It seems he's got everything under control this time.

We may have this Dragon Ball in the bag,

but we still have a problem: the kid.

Excuse me, sir, About that. It looks like the boy

has almost reached Captain Yellow's location.

Of course. He's just in time...

...to mess things up!

Here is your ball. Come down here and get it.

No way, that's a trick.

You'll hurt me if I come down there. Throw it to me.

No, I am true to my word. I am not as despicable as you.

I should be getting close to it now.

Help me!

Huh? What?

Throw it up here!

Hey, I've seen a symbol like that before.

What's that?

I know! That plane belongs to the Red Ribbon Army!

And just who might you be?

Upa!

Hello!

We have lost contact, sir.

You know what to do.

Poor kid. I kinda feel sorry for him.

I'm sure Tao is going to work him over pretty good.

And that's putting it mildly, I would think.

I've heard of people keeling over just because

Tao looked at them funny.

Imagine! What if he actually used his fists...

Thank you for saving my son.

Oh, you know, it was nothing.

No trouble at all really.

Thank you. You're nice!

Oh! You have it! The Dragon Ball! It's right there!

Please, can I see it?

Oh, you were looking for the ball, too?

One, two, three, four!

The Four-Star Dragon Ball!

I can't believe I finally found my grandpa's Dragon Ball!

What is this Dragon Ball?

And why do so many search for it?

I'm home!

Hey, man. No trespassing unless you want a bruising.

That's right, you just keep pushing me, buddy!

How quickly they forget when you're gone!

General Blue!

Quit your blubbering and open the gate.

At your service. I am Mercenary Tao.

Goku has finally succeeded in recovering

his grandfather's Four-Star Ball.

But how long can he hold on to it,

now that the Red Ribbon Army has called in

the infamous Mercenary Tao to take it away?
