Previously on Dragon Ball...

Danger descended upon the normally tranquil land of Korin.

My Daddy!

Bora, protector of this sacred land,

found himself locked in a bitter struggle

with the ruthless Mercenary Tao.

Here, have your spear.

Goku looked on in horror

as the fight took a sudden, deadly turn.

But by the time he moved in to help, it was already too late...

Bora has paid the ultimate price

to protect his land and defend Goku.

Now Goku is determined to avenge his sacrifice.

But will he be any match for the Red Ribbon Army's hired thug?

Mercenary Tao gets down to business in today's episode

of Dragon Ball!

The Match !!

Kamehameha vs Dodonpa

The Match !!

Kamehameha vs Dodonpa

"Tao Attacks!"

That's all?

Piece of cake.

Goku?

I'm not... done yet!

I see. You're a glutton for punishment.

Amateur!

Hmmm...

Settle down, boy.

Oww!

Goku, no!

Hmm...

Well, the boy at least takes a better beating than most.

Hm?!

Hey! Ouch!

So... you're back on your feet.

I would advise against that.

That hurt!

My turn.

Ka...

me...

ha...

meee...

Haaa!

Uhh...?

You ruined... my outfit!

You're still standing?!

Dodon Ray!

Hmm.

So this is what the army wants so badly?

Whatever. I guess my work is done here.

But... before I go back I must have new clothes,

thanks to him!

That robe was custom made too...

Now...

Hey! How could you do that to my daddy?!

Ahh!

You should thank me for letting you live, little boy.

It would seem that Tao has everything

well under control now.

Wait a moment. Something strange is happening.

What d'ya mean?!

Look at the radar.

Only three of the Dragon Balls are moving.

Apparently this one is still in the land of Korin.

Here's the ball we currently have in our possession.

But the three that are in motion

are heading in the wrong direction.

Where that man going? What's he up to?!

Huh?

What happened to you...?

Yeah, what's the matter, big guy...? Did you get blasted?

I'm telling ya, man.

You look like something the camel drug in.

Hey, can't you talk?

Did you get hit on the noggin'? Y-You got amnesia?

Or maybe you're just senile.

Huh?!

Hu-Huh...?

Fine then. I guess you want me to rearrange your face!

Hrmph!

Be quiet! He didn't mean that.

And why not?

Because...

Take a good look at his face!

Eh, what about it?

It's Mercenary Tao!

Uhh...

You are drunk!

This guy looks nuthin' like Namecary–

Uh, wait a second...

It is him...! M-Mercenary Tao!

I need a garment made.

Somebody show me where to find a tailor!

His shop is over there!

I want it to look exactly like this;

every stitch, every detail, everything!

O-kay. Come back in ten days.

No, you have, mmm... three.

Three days?! That's impossible, sir.

Oh, you'll find a way.

Now I need something to wear.

This'll do.

Oh, yes. Make yourself at home.

Now... get started. I have a schedule to keep.

Yes, I've heard about your work.

Now that I think about it, three days is plenty!

Please... call me if you need anything.

Anything at all!

Where's your telephone?

Oh! It's right over here!

Commander Red! Mercenary Tao on line one.

Tao, where have you been?!

How did it go?

Did you take care of the boy nuisance?

Of course. Everything you asked.

I've had to stop on a bit of an errand,

but I'll be there in a few days to deliver your prize

and collect my fee.

The brat's really gone, huh?

That's right. And I accept cash only.

Yeah, I got it!

Now are you absolutely sure

you've collected all four of the Dragon Balls?

What?!

There are only three!

One short! Check the boy's body.

He probably had one of the Dragon Balls in his clothing.

Right. Well, we can take it from here...

He's no longer a threat,

so I'll just send a man to retrieve the ball.

I mean, how difficult could that possibly be now?

Great. See you in a few days.

We'll see you then, Tao.

That's a relief. Everything's in place.

That man is certainly worth the fee.

Oh, Daddy...

I wish I had been strong enough to help...

I wish I could have saved Goku, too...

Huh?

It's amazing that such a little child could have caused

the Red Ribbon Army such enormous problems.

We were so careless.

Ha! Well, what d'ya know?!

What do you want?

Hey!

Goku! You're alive!

My Grandpa's ball!

Having it in your shirt like that must have protected you!

I think it saved your life!

Yah!

Didn't get me!

Headquarters! Come in, Headquarters!

Can you hear me?! Anyone?!

This is headquarters.

This is urgent!

Hmm...?

Power Pole extend!

This is headquarters! Do you copy?

We've lost communication!

What?!

Not again...

Hmm..

Grandpa...

I guess your still looking out after me, aren't you?

I'm really sorry I couldn't help your dad...

It's... It's not your fault, Goku.

Why does it have to be this way...?

Now Upa's all alone, just like I was...

Oh, Grandpa, can't you tell me what to do...?

There's got to be some way I can help...

Wait! Upa! If I can collect all of the Dragon Balls

I think I can bring your father back to life!

What?! Can you really do that?!

I think so!

If I find all seven, I can have any wish that I want!

But remember? The bad man that hurt my father

took your bag with the other Dragon Balls.

That's right! He sure did!

Dodon–!

Well, the next time I see him,

I'll just have to take them back!

Then I'll only need three more!

That guy is really strong, though...

I'm going to have to find some way to beat him!

I just don't know what to do...

My Kamehameha wave didn't even leave a scratch!

I've got to use something else!

Why don't you try to climb Korin tower?

What? Uhh...

Hmm...

Oh, I think you can make it, Goku!

That's right.

If I climb all the way to the top, I'll get to drink

the water that'll make me super strong, won't I?

If the stories are true.

I wish I could ride my Nimbus up there.

But I have to make it all the way up by myself, don't I?

Yes, that is the only rule.

Hmm...

Ha-ha! Okay, I'd better get going!

Then good luck, and be careful!

I bet that Tao guy will come back to get my Dragon Ball,

so you should find somewhere safe

to hide until I get back, okay?

I won't be long.

Watch your step!

I believe in you, Goku...

You can do it...

Hm?!

This is Commander Red.

What do you want?

Listen...

Yes?

I think that that kid may still be alive.

What?! That's impossible!

I told you I took care of him, Commander!

Well, something strange is going on over there.

I want you to go and check it out immediately!

I'll be available again in three days.

Call me then.

That will be too late! I want you to go right now!

You can't order me!

I'm not one of your little soldiers

Is he going to look into it?

I can't even see the top yet!

Oh, it's way past my dinner time...

I'm so hungry!

I think I'll just take a little nap...

I hope I'm almost there...

I-I'm so tir-ed!

You can do it, Goku!

That's it? Piece of cake.

That's it! I will never give up!

No matter what I'm gonna make it to the top!

Goku continues his perilous ascent

to the top of Korin Tower.

But what mysteries await him at the summit?

You'll have to tune in to find out!

Don't miss the next exciting 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!

Upa! Watch me!

I'm definitely going to drink the Super Holy Water and become stronger!

After that I'll put that assassin away!

Hey, Hermit! Give me the water!

Huh!? He isn't here?

Huh? Who are you?
