Shrouded in the dark and fog of night,

strange and frightening things may lurk about...

Unexpected evil could be just around the corner...

And sometimes, the line between nightmare and reality

can shift in an instant...

Goku Goes to the Demon World

"Goku Goes to Demon Land"

Life can be a drag when you're

the strongest kid around looking for a challenge!

But Goku will try anything to make himself stronger

for the next Tournament!

One thing is certain: our hero won't have long to wait

before a new adventure finds him

on his journey around the world!

What are you doing, young man?

Oh, this? I'm training myself!

Ahhh...

Well, you'd better find someplace else to do it.

It's not safe here.

What do you mean?

Look... do you see that castle down there?

Hmm? Ohh...

Stay away from it...

It's surrounded by a town of demons!

Demons? Like ghosts?

Yes!

And at the castle this very morning,

they found that the princess was missing from her room!

The fiends must have snatched her away

in the middle of the night!

Everyone thinks the demons snuck through

the Portal of the Dead to get her!

The Portal of the Dead? What's that?

It's the doorway between our world

and the demon world.

Oh, I see.

You should get out of here right away, little boy.

For your own good!

Wait. I can quiet that tummy.

They're just leftovers, but you're welcome to them!

Thank you, lady!

Bye now!

Bye!

Looks pretty normal to me.

Hm...

Huh?

There's an upside-down demon outside!

–Oh! –Take a look!

What was that?

You'd better get your eyes checked out.

It's just a little boy!

Wait! No kid is that strong!

He's got to be some kind of supernatural being!

Anybody there?

He's so fast!

Unnaturally so!

He must be an evil spirit!

That really wasn't very nice!

I only came here to try and help you!

Come out now!

Wait! Hang on a minute!

Stop... Let's talk about this.

Are you sure that this boy is capable

of rescuing Princess Meesa from Demon Land?

He may not look like much,

but he seems to be highly trained and incredibly strong.

You should have seen him lift that boulder

like it was only a pebble!

Oh, and there was the tree, too.

I think he may be our best hope, your majesty.

I believe what you tell me, but as strong as he is,

he still may be no match for Shula.

He's the best fighter in all of Demon Land!

If I may say so, it's worth a shot, sir.

The kid said he was willing to take on any opponent,

and the tougher, the better!

Well, I suppose we don't have a choice.

Yum! That was so good! You have a great cook!

I'm totally stuffed!

Well, boy, what do they call you?

Are you talking to me? My name is Goku.

Hey, there, mind your manners now! You're talking to the king!

Goku?

Yes, King?

You realize that you may not be able to come back

once you've gone through the Portal of the Dead, don't you?

Why wouldn't I be able to come back?

Once the demons find out that you have come

from the living world, they won't rest

until they've captured you.

Then they will keep you as their prisoner in Demon Land

for the rest of your life.

Then I just won't let myself get caught!

That's a laugh!

Why are we laughing?

Because you're so terribly naïve!

Of course you'll be caught!

There are thousands of demons there!

It will be impossible to escape them all!

This boy is just playing around. Get him out of my sight!

Hey! What are you doing?! Let go of me!

Why'd you do that? I haven't done anything wrong!

Huh?!

If you have a problem,

you could try talking to me about it, you know?!

I really must apologize.

I misjudged you. Forgive me.

Sure!

I've never heard of a child being such a great fighter,

but now I've seen it with my own eyes.

Who was your teacher?

Oh, he's called Master Roshi.

Roshi? You mean the Turtle Hermit?

He's legendary among the martial arts masters.

isn't he?

Mm-hmm!

Still... As I mentioned to you earlier, the demon called Shula

is the most fearsome warrior in the entire underworld.

Many brave men have faced him and lost.

Each paid a high price for their failure.

They were never to be seen in this world again.

I'll get your daughter, and I'll come back!

I hope so.

What is that?

Shula has jammed the Portal of the Dead with his sword.

Now the gate is stuck open

and the fiends have been able to come and go as they please.

The villagers are terrified!

They always come and steal our harvest.

We barely have enough to feed ourselves!

Okay! I'll go get it back!

Wait a minute!

This mission is too important to run off unprepared.

If you're going to rescue Meesa,

you have to wait until the time is just right.

Why can't I go now?

You must have patience. There is a time for all things.

Beating the demons is possible if you go about it wisely.

I'll wait if you want me to.

Oh, so that's where the Demons come from,

the Pot Hole of the Dead.

No, the Portal of the Dead, it means the "doorway"!

Now, do you see the way Shula's sword props the gate wide open?

That's why the spirits are able to roam freely in our world.

I see...

So why don't you just pull it out?

No one has ever been able to budge the blade,

not even an inch.

For the sword to loosen, Shula must first be defeated.

If we can't remove it, the door will stay open forever.

And our village will remain doomed to be tormented

by these fiends for all of eternity.

That guy is really tough to beat, I guess?

From what I've been told, he has never lost a fight to anyone.

Okay! I'll just pull this out first!

Stop that. You'll just wear yourself out.

It will only move when Shula has been defeated.

Whew! It didn't wiggle one bit!

To beat Shula's curse, you must beat him.

It's the only way.

I'll fight him then.

He can't be as tough as they say.

Hmm.

Good! I've been wanting to test myself.

This should be fun!

Be careful in there, Goku!

See ya!

Hey! What's taking so long with that grub?

Whoa! Keep your pants on!

What's that supposed to be? You serving me garbage?!

What are you laughing at?!

Ehh... Ah...

Oh, well, uh!

Something in the air is tickling my nose!

I couldn't care less!

Now get lost until I need you again!

Yes, Launch...

While Goku is off on his own,

Krillin and Yamcha are hard at work preparing

for the World Martial Arts Tournament

under the direction of their mentor, Master Roshi.

His exercises are as grueling as ever,

and the pupils are quickly learning

to think on their feet!

I hope Goku's training is less dangerous than ours!

If I know him, he's probably getting himself

into some kind of trouble...

I'll bet you're right!

Who did that?!

Who goes there?

I'm going over there!

Wait! You need permission!

What's a "permission"?

You need a special pass from the Ruler of the Underworld

to go through here!

But I've never met him!

Then go back where you came from,

while you still have your life!

So foolish!

Let go!

You're mine, kid!

Hold it!

Huh?

You must be quite a special little boy

to push around great big Gola. He's no weakling, you know?

I must say, I'm pleasantly surprised!

What's your name, sport?

It's Goku. What's your name?

Melee.

I'm the girl to know if you want to get past this point.

So then maybe you can let me through so I can find Shula.

Huh?

Hey!

Wait a minute! Have you lost your mind?

You're not really on your way to see Shula, are you?

Yes, I'm gonna fight him and beat him,

and then I'm gonna take Princess Meesa back to her family!

Do you have any idea how dangerous he is?

I'm not afraid of him! Now where is he?

Are you absolutely sure about this, kid?

I told the king I'd help.

I always keep my promises, no matter how tough!

Honestly, Goku, he could tear you limb from limb.

Besides, Shula's marrying Princess Meesa tonight.

He's probably too busy to see you now.

They're getting married?

Yeah, he's planning a big party for all the underworld!

Then I'd better hurry!

Show me where to find him right now!

Okay! I'll take you to see him.

Just follow me, and don't fall behind!

No, Melee!

Don't be bashful, my darling.

You don't want to miss tonight's special entertainment, do you?

Ghouls and boys,

in honor of the impending nuptials, how about a fight?

Any brave soul want to put their skills to the test?

I'll do it!

Where did that boy come from?

This reeks of Melee's handiwork.

Agreed.

But it must be a joke. That kid's a creampuff!

I'd say that sounds like a fair assessment.

Oh, but don't come down

unless you're really strong, please!

How arrogant!

Go down there and make sure he loses.

Okay!

Is he my opponent?

That's right. You want to back out now, little one?

No! I can beat this guy!

Then I guess I won't take it easy on you after all!

Let's go!

Oh!

Shula won't let him get away with that!

Now it's getting interesting!

Anyone else want to challenge this boy?

No way. I want Shula to be my opponent this time!

Take that back!

You don't know what you're saying!

You must be brave or stupid!

I'm not either of those guys.

I'm Goku!

In that case, I'll fight you, as you wish.

So you're Shula?

At your service!

Okay! You must be Meesa!

Uh-huh.

I'm gonna save you!

Whoa!

Hey! I wasn't ready!

You're complaining already?

I'm just getting started!

Then let's go!

Hmph.

Amazing!

Yes!

You're really good! Very tough!

What the...?

But now it's my turn!

Ka-me...

Ha-me...

HA!

Now, Goku!

Come on! Let's get outta here!

You must be really strong to defeat Shula!

Nah, he's just been in this dark place too long!

He can't handle bright light! I think I just got pretty lucky!

Goku!

Don't forget to pull out the sword when you get outside!

Okay!

Take care, boy!

Thanks, but why did you help me?

Aren't you going to get in trouble?

It's good to shake things up around here once in a while.

It will blow over soon.

Go on! I'll take care of them!

Thanks! Good luck!

Yeah, thanks for everything!

I'll see you again sometime.

But not anytime soon, though.

Look! It's Meesa!

Oh!

Oh! Mom!

Right! The sword!

You know the rules!

You cannot go through here without a pass!

But Shula sent us to get the kid!

If he wanted you to go outside,

he would have sent you with a permission slip!

A rule is a rule!

I knew the two of you were in on this!

Oh, no! Shula!

It's okay! Head out!

It's out!

Now only those with a key can enter the living world!

The way it should have been all along!

That little kid... he did me in!

This must be yours. Heads up!

Thanks...

It's good for the soul to taste defeat sometimes, you know?

I guess.

Well, there's no use in letting a good party go to waste.

You want to come?

Why not?

Too bad about the wedding.

♪ For he's a jolly good fellow! ♪

It's another happy ending, thanks to Goku!

The demons are back where they belong

and this peaceful village can finally return to normal!

But this joyous celebration is just a brief break for our hero.

He's got to get on with his training

if he hopes to win the next tournament!

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!

Next time some kind of strange monster appears!

But, a really strong duo arrives at the same time!

And they want a head start on me!

But, something's strange...

Next time on Dragon Ball:

"The Ferocious Beast, Inoshikacho"

Don't miss it!
