Previously on Dragon Ball...

Tambourine, brutal enforcer of King Piccolo was sent to hunt

down and exterminate the members of the Martial Arts Society.

One-by-one they fell. No matter how confident...

...or strong.

NAMU

Police are baffled as to the motives of the killer

and why only martial artists are targeted.

Alerted to the danger,

Master Roshi and his team fled Kame Island in search of safety.

King Piccolo hatched a new warrior, Cymbal,

and sent him on a mission

to retrieve the remaining six Dragon Balls.

Who do you serve my child?

Meanwhile, Goku,

ravaged from his confrontation with Tambourine,

stumbled through the jungle,

where he faced an even greater adversary–hunger!

I can't go on. Gotta eat something.

Luckily, Goku found some ammunition.

Things were looking up for our young hero,

until he was suddenly hit with another surprise.

I know you're there!

Come out and face me you coward!

I'm not a coward.

You're the sneak that stole my food!

Expecting to find Tambourine,

Goku was surprised by the new face.

But is the stranger friendly,

or another adversary for Goku to fight?

The Strange Guy • Enter Yajirobe ! !

The Strange Guy • Enter Yajirobe ! !

"Here Comes Yajirobe"

Hmm...

Ya thief!

Huh? What's that?

You heard!

I'm not a thief! I didn't steal anything of yours!

Oh yeah?!

Well, I don't recall inviting you to eat my brektis!

What's brektis? It sounds awful.

My fish!

Look, I don't steal.

Can you prove it's your brektis fish?

Hey, wait a minute.

Are you calling me a liar?!

If so, you'd better be prepared to fight.

Okay.

I don't know where you're from, big hair.

But around here, it's not polite to steal other people's food!

Oh, I see.

But you're fine with throwing giant boulders at strangers,

is that it?

My Dragon Ball! Now I get it.

You tried to hurt me because you're helping that monster,

weren't you?

Monster?

You know who I'm talking about.

The monster. He's big and green and he's got giant wings!

He took my friend Krillin's life.

And so now I'm after his!

Hey, that's a nice story, but my belly is still empty.

You stole food, now pay for it.

You're nothing but a thief!

Liar!

I'd rather be a liar than a thief! Thief!

So you admit that you're lying!

Why you!

Take that back!

Uh-uh!

You used your head. That wasn't fair!

I got you!

You hurt my nose!

Here, have a foot!

Hyaah!

My foot's stronger.

Oh well, have a nice nap.

Ready to give up? If so, I'll help you out.

I don't get it. I kicked him as hard as I could.

Who is this guy?

I've never been hit so hard in my life.

What's he made of, solid stone?!

This isn't going to be

as easy as I thought.

I still don't know what brektis is.

That one's all done.

Hardly worth the effort, but finished.

Hmmm... Who's my next victim?

You kids don't worry.

You should be safe here on this island.

But that doesn't mean you don't stay on your guard.

Yeah, well, that's really great advice

Master Roshi, but we can't hide forever.

If we don't find the Dragon Balls before King Piccolo,

none of us will be safe.

Hmmm...

You be careful, okay.

We will.

No, it isn't fair!

Huh?

My darn leg.

If it wasn't all busted up, I could go with you guys.

Don't worry. Just stay here and get some rest.

It's better this way.

If anything happens to us, you'll be the only one left.

Promise me, please come back!

Mhmm.

That's enough of that!

Don't talk like you're not coming home!

If any of you get splattered,

I swear I'll fill you with so many bullets,

you'll jump back to life just to beg me for mercy!

Uh, right.

Huh?

Oh, I sure hope we see those guys again.

Could you be any more pessimistic?!

Show a little faith.

They're going to be just fine!

At least, I hope so.

Enough about that.

Come on. I'll make a freezing capsule to preserve Krillin.

Eh heh heh heh heh.

We've spent a lot of time together,

but we know so little of each other.

So, I brought you my family album.

Thought you might want to look at some pictures.

Emperor please.

No one wants to see that.

I've got double prints if you see some you like.

Huh?

Uh, sire...

He doesn't share your enthusiasm.

You silly worm. His majesty is sleeping.

Huh?

He can rest with both his eyes open,

especially when he's bored.

Whew...

Finished.

Ooh! What a beautiful chamber.

Thank you. Now let's place Krillin inside, gently.

Hmph. He looks happy. Probably loves the attention.

He sure seems comfortable in there.

Alright, that's it. Time to close 'em up.

Whoa, tiny.

Don't mix 'em up with your vitamins. Heh.

Hmmm... Where's a good place to keep him?

This should do the trick.

Right.

I'm sure Krillin loves being stuffed next to your socks.

And your bloomers.

I heard that!

Wait, just kidding!

I should be close.

All right, I can tell you're not from around here.

What do ya call yourself, big hair?

My name is Goku. What do I call you?

I'm Yajirobe.

Yajirobe. That's funny.

Nyaaaah!

It beats Goku.

That does it!

Huh?

Uh?

What's wrong with you?

Uh...

Hey, that Dragon Ball you're wearing, it's not mine.

You have the one-star ball, not the four!

I don't understand.

Where in the world did you find yours?!

I found it in the jungle somewhere about three years ago.

Wait, three years. Then... Hmm...

Boy, do I feel silly.

This is all just a misunderstanding.

There's no way you could have helped that monster!

I told you I wasn't a liar. But you did steal... my fish!

Do you have any idea how long it takes

to cook a fish that size?

It takes hours!

Look, that's him.

What an ugly bird.

You won't get away this time!

How long you live depends on your answer to my question.

It looks like him, but that's not the monster I fought.

All right, be quick.

What do you want from us?

I seek a little orange ball with stars on it.

If either of you have seen one,

you'd better tell me or suffer the consequences.

If you want someone's help, you should learn to ask nicely.

Hmmm?

I don't believe it!

Score!

Nice necklace. Give it here!

Uh, if you're interested in the Dragon Balls, that means that

you must be partners with the same monster

who destroyed my friend Krillin and that makes you my enemy!

Huh? You'd better talk some sense into you friend.

Choose your words carefully, Monster.

He's not my friend.

Monster, do you have a friend with a mouth like this?

And eyes like this?

And he's got big wings, and he's mean and ugly,

but he's not as big as you?

Hmmm...

That sounds like, Tambourine.

Then he's the one I'm after.

I couldn't care less.

I'm here for the Dragon Ball. Period!

Sorry, I like it.

If you want one, go find your own.

This one belongs to me.

So what?

I like yours just fine, boy.

Heh heh heh.

Since you're so cocky,

I'd be happy to crush every bone in your body to get it!

Hmph! Try it. I'll break you in half.

No way. I'll take care of this creature.

Stay back. He's mine.

I'm fighting him. His ally killed my best friend.

I don't care. Your problems don't concern me.

This green thing insulted me and now he's going to pay.

Why are you so stubborn?

He's my new brektis.

Huh?!

There's an easy way to settle this.

Fine!

–I choose rock. –I choose rock.

–I choose paper! –I choose paper!

–I choose rock! –I choose rock!

You can't be serious.

You're playing over who will fight me?

–I choose scissors! –I choose scissors!

Oh come on, that's not how you play.

Everyone knows that dynamite always wins!

–Choose rock. I choose paper! –Choose rock! I choose paper!

–I choose paper! –I choose rock!

Hah! I win! Paper can wrap around the rock, silly!

I know, I know!

Try and do your worst. I want this fight to last a while.

Heh heh heh!

If you're so eager to die, who am I to stand in your way?!

I'll be eating you soon!

Hah hah hah! You were saying?

It looks like the only thing that you'll be eating is dirt!

Hmmm...

Huh?

It's been a strange day. I keep meeting strong enemies.

Ha! It's not the enemies' strength. You're just weak.

There is no weakness in me, monster!

Big words for small prey!

Hey, you don't look as scary with less teeth.

You're just as ugly, though.

You'll pay for that!

Let's see how much you like dancing!

Hmmm?

That lightning's a neat trick.

No one told me we were using weapons!

Sure you don't want help?

Positive! I can handle this beast by myself!

All right! Let's finish this!

Hahaha!

You're a good dancer. Dance! Dance!

Be silent! And fight...

...with honor to the end!

Aaaattack!

Hahaha! That's it! Come meet your destruction!

Hmmm?

Wow! You're fast!

Piccolo, what's wrong? You look ill.

Cymbal has failed me.

Clearly Yajirobe is no ordinary being.

But who is he?

Find out next time on 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!

Woah, you really are strong!

You bastard! What are you gonna do about my fish?!

By the way, your sword is really sharp.

Eh? This?

Don't distract me!

Ah!

W-What?!

Next time on Dragon Ball:

"Majuu: Tambourine Draws Near!!"

Don't miss it!

Majuu • Tambourine

Draws Near ! !
