Previously on Dragon Ball,

the sacred land of Korin was visited

by the cruel Mercenary Tao,

sent to destroy Goku for the Red Ribbon Army.

Bora, friend to Goku and sworn protector of his people's land,

challenged the invader... and lost,

leaving his son Upa, and Goku,

to face this awesome threat alone.

That's it!

Me... Ha... Me...

Haaaa!

Dodon Ray!

His task seemingly accomplished,

Tao stole the Dragon Balls and fled.

Goku! You're alive!

Wait! Upa!

If I can collect all of the Dragon Balls

I think I can bring your father back to life!

Now, in order achieve his goal,

Goku has begun the climb up the impossibly high Korin Tower,

hoping to attain the Sacred Water.

According to legend, this enchanted drink will

greatly increase the strength of whoever consumes it.

But no one knows this for certain,

for no one has ever made it to the top...

I sure hope that's it...

Karin- sama of Karin Tower

"Korin Tower"

Oohh...

Go... Don't stop...

Almost... there!

I made it... I'm finally here...

Now where is that water?

Maybe it's hidden somewhere.

Huhh...

Is it in here?

Bulma!

Hang on, I'm almost done!

Wait a second, can she hear me?

Bulma!

Krillin!

Huh?

Stop that!

What?

Bulma! I'm up here!

I must be losing my mind.

She's so silly!

What happened to all the water?

It just disappeared!

What's in this one?

Hey, Chi-Chi!

It's me, Goku!

Hey! That's me!

But how can I be there if I'm right here? Wait, I remember.

I didn't think this day would...

That's when I visited the Ox-King!

It already happened!

You big joker!

Unbelievable!

I wonder who's in this one.

Huuh...?

Whoaaa...

Weird... What was that all about?

Relax, kid. Don't stress out.

You just had a vision, that's all.

The big three: Past, present and future.

Hello? Who is it? Where are you?

I can barely hear you. Come on up.

I wasn't at the top after all.

The Sacred Water must be up here.

Okay, I'm here.

Where are you?

Hello?

Well, alright.

It's about time you joined the party.

Party...? Come on, show yourself.

Take the blinders off, babe.

I'm right here.

You're pretty spry for a kid your size.

I enjoyed your climb.

Look, I'm not here to play games.

I need the water.

Come closer.

My name is Goku.

I'm here for the Sacred Water.

Can you help me?

Like I haven't heard that one before.

What's your name?

Korin... Keeper of the Tower.

Korin?! Then you have the Sacred Water?

Of course.

We're surrounded by sacred water.

Every drop on this planet.

I need it. That's why I'm here.

I was told that if I climbed this tower,

I would find water that would make me stronger.

Please, it's important.

Ah, and what would you do with this strength?

I would use it to help my friends.

That's a noble statement for a child.

What does my age have to do with it?

Ask me again when you're older...

Look, kid, no hard feelings.

It's just not your time.

No, wait!

I climbed the tower. Now please give me a drink.

That is the rule... right?

Are you certain the Sacred Water is what you need?

Mm-hmm.

Is that... from your heart?

Yes, sir.

I... say no.

What?!

Mommy, what is it? What does it say? Mommy?

It says the twentieth anniversary campaign of the...

Oh dear, the killer!

That's Tao. Now's your chance... do it.

Everything is arranged as you ordered, sir!

Welcome back, sir.

The refreshments are in the room and your bath is being drawn.

Excellent.

Boil five minutes... Then crack and serve.

I hope Goku makes it to the top safely.

He's all I have left...

I don't understand.

Why did you waste my time? I didn't even get to see it!

You mean the Sacred Water that's on top the fountain?

Huh?

But-But I thought, I mean, you said, it-it...

Ugh. If you're done falling all over yourself,

maybe we could continue.

Why do you want more strength?

Oh, see I've been collecting the Dragon Balls

and that's how I met Bora.

He gave me the Four-Star Ball.

And then he was killed by this mean–

Yeah, alright, alright. Easy on the speech, okay?

You're hard on the ears.

Don't talk? But you asked me to.

Just lock your jaw for a minute, would ya?

You have to defeat Tao the Mercenary to retrieve

your Dragon Balls and then collect the other three

so you can wish Upa's father back to life.

Is that the gist of it?

What?! How could you know all of that

when I didn't even say anything about it?!

I–read–minds.

But don't worry, kid, there weren't that many chapters.

Aahh...

Amazing!

Thanks, but you're an easy audience.

Pure minds are like looking through glass.

So it's alright then?

Don't worry, I'll get it.

This is great!

I can't wait to see how strong it makes me!

How does it look up there?

Fine. I've got it.

Are you sure?

No problem.

Haaah!

You said I could have the Sacred Water!

If that's what I said, then don't mind me.

Have all you want...

Go on. What are you waiting for?

Okay. Then I'll try again.

What's the big idea?!

You said I could drink... Didn't you?

That's right...

If you can get around me.

Alright, then. Two can play at that game!

–Look! –Hm?

Not that this isn't any fun, but before you play the game,

maybe you should read the directions.

Come on. It's right here...

Keep your eyes on the prize.

You liar! I'm gonna get that bottle! Count on it!

You hear me?!

Come on! O-Oh! It's getting heavy.

I understand if you want to give up.

No hard feelings!

Wuh-oh!

You're too fast. I can't catch you.

That's right, if you keep that attitude.

You can't retrieve what your mind can't conceive.

Get it? All you're doing is reacting to me.

Learn to anticipate your opponent's actions.

Okay.

Be careful!

Oh no! Everything's getting wet!

Huh...?

Master Roshi! Are you coming inside?

Oh, you go on in. Don't worry about me.

These old bones need a workout.

Something's brewing up there.

I haven't seen a storm like this since...

You can't be that tired.

Come on. We're just getting started.

Korin, tell me, has there ever been anyone

who was able to climb the tower and get the bottle from you?

Yes. But only one, about 300 years ago.

Exactly how old are you anyway?

Eight hundred years. Give or take a few.

Eight hundred years?!

Oh, wow. You're really old!

Show some respect.

I'll tell you something else...

The only person who ever succeeded in drinking

the sacred water...

...was the man you call Master.

Wait–What?! Wh-What are you saying?!

Judging by the way you move,

I'd say... your teacher is the old turtle-hermit, Roshi.

You mean Master Roshi, my Master Roshi climbed this tower...?

Is that how he became so strong, by drinking the sacred water?

Mm-hmm.

That's right.

Whoaa...

I can't believe Master Roshi was the first one here!

Believe it or not, it's true.

He was a tricky one.

Why do you say that? Was he really fast?

How long did it take him to get the bottle from you?

Whoa! Just three minutes?!

No, sir. Three years.

Th-Three years?!

If it took Master Roshi three years

to get the Sacred Water, how long will it take Goku?

Let's hope he brought a snack.

Tune in next time, for another 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 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!

That Karin or whatever cat is really fast!

You aren't reading my movement at all!

You need to focus, or you'll never be able to catch me!

What was that?! I'm not leaving here before I've drank the Super Holy Water!
