Previously on Dragon Ball,

after a near fatal battle with King Piccolo,

Goku retreated to Korin's Tower to recuperate,

meeting some old friends along the way.

Master Roshi attempted to trap King Piccolo using

the Evil Containment Wave,

but was defeated.

King Piccolo realized his dastardly ambition for power

by calling upon the Eternal Dragon and wishing for youth.

As you wish.

Unfortunately for all, his desire was granted.

Restored, the new King Piccolo wasted no time implementing

his scheme of world domination.

He vowed to wreak havoc across the globe.

King Castle

on the Offensive- Defensive ! !

King Castle

on the Offensive- Defensive ! !

"Siege on Chow Castle"

Presently the world is divided into 43 sectors.

Each sector is ruled by a king.

We are currently approaching the Eastern City,

home of King Furry.

This is his sector, as is the surrounding area,

also the north area, which is covered with snow.

There's also a desert and furthermore–

Enough!

Eh?

Such a boring locale.

Let me show you something fun.

Oh!

Beautiful! Soon this will be their reality.

Yes, sire.

Huh?

Hm? We've arrived at King's Castle.

Then, let's go. It's time to take our first step

in creating a new world order.

Huh?

I forgot to mention, sire,

today the town's citizens are celebrating

their King's 20th term.

Good.

Or perhaps they knew we were coming and decided

to start celebrating your ascension early.

Maybe so!

Here comes the car!

Welcome, everyone!

Allow me to extend a big hello

from the citizens of Eastern City

to everyone around the world watching us today.

We're gathered here for an amazing parade

commemorating King Furry's 20th term in office.

What makes this king so loved and revered by his subjects

is his stellar political record,

highlighted by a dogged pursuit of world prosperity and peace.

Oh, here he comes now!

You see him? Ah! I can't believe it!

Let the little cretins enjoy themselves while they can.

Soon enough, they will die.

Shall we?

Goku! Goku! I missed you so much!

It is an honor. Welcome.

Do I look stronger?

Since you left, I've been taking combat lessons from my father.

I'm gonna be a great warrior, just like you!

That's great, Upa. Boy, you've become very strong.

Goku!

Are you hurt?

You are looking ill. Is it serious? What's wrong?

He nearly got himself killed...

...by a terrible monster named King Piccolo.

Goku decided to try and fight him all by himself.

It was a dumb thing to do.

Hey! I don't know who you are,

but you'd better stop talking that way about Goku,

or you'll be sorry!

Quiet down before I step on you.

What did you say?!

Upa.

Aw , but Father!

Yajirobe is telling the truth. I was beaten.

But no one can hurt you, Goku!

It is difficult to believe.

I came back

to see if Master Korin could help improve my strength

like he did before.

You're going to climb the tower!?

Mm-hm.

Sure am.

Goku, why don't you rest here a few days?

You'll never make it with that wound.

Don't worry, Bora. Yajirobe will take me there.

Uh–! Are you nuts!?

You're strong enough to climb Korin's Tower.

Well, I appreciate the vote of confidence,

but why do I have to do it?!

He's right, Goku! You don't wanna rely on a guy like him!

Stay outta this, squirt!

Heh. Nice teeth. Anyway, it's none of my business.

I'm headed home, guys.

I don't wanna get involved in anything dangerous.

I didn't come here for trouble.

I came here for food, and since I'm obviously

not going to get any,

I'd be crazy just to stand around here

listening to this half-pint's insults.

You're a big coward!

I'll see ya around, Goku.

There's plenty of food. It's up in the Tower.

Nice try, buddy.

I'm serious. Korin's food is the best I've ever tasted.

He loves to feed people.

What kind of food?

Hm. Stuff like Senzu Beans.

Senzu? Strange name for beans.

I think it's delicious.

Did you just say delicious?

There must be more than beans in those beans!

It's your job to hold on tight. I can't help you if you fall.

Thanks a bunch.

Allow me to help you on your way.

Huh?

The things I do for a meal! Now you're positive

the food's up there, right?!

Of course I am.

Be safe. Hold onto his hair.

Ready to go?

Thank you.

Can we get going?

Good luck! Safe trip!

Ow! My hands!

We flew all that way, and we still can't see the top!

I can smell those beans.

I hope there's some left when we get there.

Nobody's eatin' my beans!

All that I see before me is now mine. Not too bad.

Hey! Hold it!

Freeze Mister!

All units to Gate 3! Emergency! Emergency!

Please, forgive me. I wish I were with you right now.

We're here. This is where the Dragon Balls

were last spotted.

Hurry up! I wanna check it out.

Wait. Let me circle around the perimeter.

There could be enemies lurking we don't know about.

Well, I've got a better idea.

Let's fly over and keep heading south.

Staying here is suicide!

What's that?!

Tien Shinhan!

And that's Master beside him!

Master Roshi!

How could this have happened to them?!

Chiaotzu...

Tien Shinhan! We're the only ones left.

We have to work together to defeat Piccolo. Tien Shinhan?!

I'm sorry, Yamcha. There is something I must do, alone.

It's the only way.

I will learn the secret of the Evil Containment Wave.

No, it's too dangerous!

I must destroy that monster, no matter the cost.

That's why I was spared.

You can't go alone! I'll learn it with you!

No. That's not an option.

It's impossible to learn this wave unless you've witnessed it

first hand, as I have.

No, Tien!

Don't argue with me. My mind is set.

I have nothing left to lose.

Will we ever see him again?

Goodbye my friends.

What a man.

As long as I draw breath,

I pledge to you that I will guide our fair domain

under the principles of truth,

justice, and harmony amongst all living things!

Halt! You are trespassing!

To honor the King,

girls from all parts of the world

have gathered to present him bouquets of flowers.

First we have Cactus, from the desert land.

Welcome.

Thank you. I am honored to receive such beautiful flowers,

and I accept them as a symbol of peace.

Where is Suno? Is she there yet?

What was it like meeting him?

We shook hands. He smiled. What a king!

Wow! How wonderful! I can't wait till it's my turn!

What?

What should we do, sir?

Stay calm. Roll out the battle tanks of the 5th brigade

to the square at Gate 2, just in case!

And be quick!

Yes, sir!

We must preserve the peace at all cost.

Stop! I repeat, this is your last warning!

Ready! Fire!

Nice reception.

Next up, Suno,

representative of the northern village, Jingle.

That's me!

That's Suno! Look, she's on TV!

My little baby girl!

I'm getting sick and tired of climbing! This is insane.

I'm starving to death and we still can't see the top!

We're almost there.

Yeah, sure! You've been saying "we're almost there"

from the moment we started!

It's true.

Whatever! I don't wanna hear anymore! Just stop talking!

Come on, Yajirobe! Let's go on a trip.

There'll be food!

Aren't you having fun?

Oh sure! This is great! I love climbing towers

with my bare hands!

Hey, what happened? Where's the signal?

Suno.

Where is this king? I've come all this way

to meet him.

I'm beginning to think he's avoiding me.

I'm right here!

Sir! We've gotta get you outta here!

I'm not going to hide while that creature

wreaks havoc on the city.

The people are depending on me!

But, sir! It's my place to protect you.

Let my men do their job.

You can't help the people if you're not there to lead them.

Huh?

I'll keep them busy while you escape, your majesty.

Be quick!

Hold it! You can't go in there.

Oh, are you the welcoming committee?

Afraid not, I handle the good-byes.

And you've worn out your welcome.

You're fairly adept when fighting against machines.

How about pure muscle, you green freak!?

Ha! I thought you'd never ask.

But rather than fight, why not work for me?

You could shine my shoes, big boy.

Enough! Either you surrender immediately,

or I'll do my worst!

Surrender? Why should I surrender?

You're the one who's losing all his men.

Before you die, tell me, where is the king hiding?

Ugh! Forget the king. Settle for my fist!

Oh, my! Is this how we throw punches?

Where is the king?

Where you'll never find him!

Heh. We'll see.

I hope you have an answer for me.

I get paid by the hour!

Sire!

These clowns were decoys.

The king is escaping in his ship.

Leaving so soon?

Too bad my friends weren't here.

I know this bloodhound who would've

taken that monster down.

This is the end. There's nothing we can do.

We should've gone to the movies instead.

Mommy, is there someone who can stop the green man?

What about Daddy?

Isn't he stronger than the green man?

Nobody's daddy is that strong.

I know somebody.

I have a friend who I know could defeat him.

Don't stop there. Who is it?

It's Goku.

Goku?

Goku, wherever you are, please hear me. We need your help now.

Goku!

Oh, wow! Goku, look up! Is that the top?!

You no-good, lousy... How could you be sleeping

at a time like this?!

Wake up! Look! We're at the top!

Going somewhere?

With the king of Eastern City captured,

will King Piccolo make good on his first conquest?

Goku has reached the top of Korin Tower,

but can he hold out long enough to see Master Korin himself?

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!

We did it!

We're at Karin's lookout!

Woah... This sure brings memories!

The feast? Where's the feast?

Hey, Master Karin!
