Previously on Dragon Ball,

King Piccolo launched an attack on the Eastern City,

laying it to waste, and declaring himself

ruler of the sector.

Meanwhile, Tien Shinhan,

consumed with his desire to destroy King Piccolo,

mastered the Evil Containment Wave.

I've done it.

Goku downed the dangerous Ultra Divine Water

in hopes of increasing his abilities.

The gamble paid off, as he was rewarded

with mysteriously strengthened powers.

I don't know. I feel different, but I just can't explain it.

King Piccolo began his reign of terror

with a nationally televised announcement

of horrific proportions.

My first decree is to abolish the police

and release all criminals!

I want riots! Order is legally dead!

As a result of Piccolo's savage policies,

pandemonium erupted in the streets as reason

gave way to unbridled chaos.

Tenshinhan's Determination ! !

"Prelude to Vengeance"

Guys, come in here! It's another news bulletin.

Good afternoon, my loyal citizens.

I have more news of terror and mayhem!

As members of my new order,

you should all prepare for destruction.

Lousy monster! Who does he think he is?!

Get ready as I unleash the most glorious terror imaginable!

Is he serious?!

No need to worry, however.

I've taken care of all the arrangements.

I know that all of you share my enthusiasm.

Because, it is a privilege and honor

to be a part of this event.

You're gonna love this!

Your planet, heh, my planet,

is divided into 43 sectors.

Each is represented by a slip of paper

which has been placed in this box.

To commemorate the anniversary of my rule,

I declare this day, May 13th, as Piccolo Day.

As part of this annual celebration,

I'll draw a slip from the box each year.

And guess what folks. There's more.

The chosen sector will host that year's celebration,

which will culminate in its destruction.

And I will do the honors.

No! You wouldn't!

I am not without mercy.

The sector's annihilation will be instantaneous.

There will hardly be time to feel any pain.

That's horrific! Why would you do something so cruel?!

Hm! It's nothing new. This world celebrates

occasions with explosions in the sky.

Mine are just a little more dangerous.

Besides, I can't wait to see the terror on peoples' faces.

And after all, it is my celebration.

That maniac!

He's an A-1 sicko.

Please, don't worry. This is meant to be happy fun time.

The drawing will only be held once a year.

That means, if you're lucky,

some of you may live another 43 years.

Or not!

43 years?! Oh, how generous!

I'd rather be destroyed now than have to live my life in fear!

But seriously, I wish to maintain

an open dialogue with my subjects.

So, if for any reason you are displeased

with my plan or any of my policies,

please feel free to pay me a visit.

My door is always open.

Tell me what's on your tiny little minds. I'm here for you.

And once you've unloaded all your emotional baggage,

I promise to remove your troubles, permanently.

Daddy! I'm so scared. Please say you'll defeat him.

Please say you'll save me from that mean old King Piccolo!

Uh, well, you see ChiChi, uh, Daddy wants to

defeat that monster, but it's impossible, mmm sweetheart.

But Daddy, is he really stronger than you?

Afraid so, Muffinhead.

No one of this world can defeat that beast.

Uh, what about... Goku! That's it!

Goku can defeat him, right Daddy? Right?

No. No way. Not even Goku. Sorry.

Yes he can, Dad. Goku will defeat King Piccolo! I know it!

Now Goku can beat Piccolo. Don't you think?

I don't know.

See, the outcome rests in the hands of fate.

Goku has the necessary skills.

However, that's not always enough.

That doesn't fill me with confidence.

Anyway, at a time like this, I'd rather be filled with food.

I'm gonna stuff my belly with everything I can fit into it!

Go for it. Have as many Senzu Beans as you want.

I don't want beans at a time like this!

I'm a gourmet at heart. I want something special!

Oh!

It's time for a road trip.

I'll find something really tasty!

Do you mind if I borrow your Nimbus Cloud for a while?

Like I said before, the Nimbus Cloud

will do you no good, Yajirobe.

You have to be pure heart to ride it.

Heh. I'll tell you something.

My heart is as pure as the blue skies.

Hm!

Watch me!

More like a pure bowl of pudding. Have a nice trip!

Uah!

Here!

Ah...

Uh! Aah...!

Huh?

Papa, isn't that...?

–Yajirobe! –Mm?

Uh! What happened to Goku? Is he all right?!

Easy, easy.

Your friend is fine as far as I know.

He's gone now though.

Oh.

Please be careful.

Goku.

I must confess I'm not long on patience.

Why wait for tomorrow when I can have fun right now?

Today I will draw the first lot.

Not so fast, monster!

The Evil Containment Wave will have you soon!

Let's see. Who will be the first to go?

Hm. Let's see...

Oh, not too far away.

Heh. Looks like sector 28! Your time is up!

Ha! Get ready. I'll be visiting you very soon.

Uh! Oh no! Please, not sector 28!

That's West City. It's where my parents are living!

Oh, thank goodness!

At least Bulma doesn't live there.

My little pumpkin will be safe.

I feel sorry for those that live in West City.

Wait a minute. West City? That's where we live.

We should invite her over for brunch this week.

It's been too long since we last saw our little–

This is Kame House calling Tien Shinhan, come in!

Tien Shinhan! Do you read me?!

Please keep King Piccolo from going to the West City!

That's where my parents live!

Ugh... Don't worry.

Piccolo's reign is over!

Aah!

Do you call that driving?!

You're the one who ran into me!

Hey! What are you doing?!

Can't you make that thing go any faster?!

Look, you idiot! This is a bus! I'm not the one who's drivin'!

Meow!

Sweetheart, what are you doing?

We've got to get out of here. Traffic's going to be terrible.

Just a minute, Honey. I can't find Scratch.

Oh Scratch! Hm.

Scratchy?!

Uh...

Where is that cat?

–Meow! –Uh!

Meow, meow!

There's Momma's baby.

Here Scratch!

Promise you won't scare Momma like that again.

Meow.

Scratch, that's all you think about.

Uh! Well, excuse me!

I wasn't gonna leave her behind.

Are you sure you have everything?

Mmm!

The plants! I forgot!

I completely forgot to water them this morning.

Darling, you know how upset the chrysanthemums get

when they go without their morning sprinkle.

Thank you, Sweetheart, for reminding me

of the important things in life.

Thank Scratch.

Meow.

Again, riots and pandemonium

have beset the streets of this once tranquil West City.

This was the scene only moments ago.

It's insane out there.

Please let my parents be all right.

Who are you and what do you want?!

We want your food.

And your zeni. All of it.

And what if we don't feel like donating?

Too bad. Just consider us the jail break collection agency.

Jail breakers!

You got it!

We didn't escape. We were liberated by King Piccolo.

We're under his orders. We're legit!

The criminals are now the heroes, thanks to Piccolo!

That's right. All the prisons across the entire country

have been abolished.

Now, give us all your food and zeni or else.

Come on, Blue! Go get us something to eat.

And nothing instant.

Uh! All you'll get from me is a knuckle sandwich!

This one's feisty!

I'll just cook you... medium well.

Yamcha!

So long!

Yamcha!

Heh-heh!

Oh! This is the end of the world.

Everything's spun outta control.

Goku, Master Roshi, Chiaotzu, Krillin.

Everybody's gone.

Even Tien Shinhan.

I know my leg's not completely healed yet,

but I have to do something.

I can't just wait around!

I'm coming, Piccolo!

The end is near, Piccolo!

The seaplane is ready, your Majesty.

Perfect! I can't wait to hear their screams!

West City will fall, and I will enjoy every last minute of it!

There it is! King's Castle. I hope I'm not too late.

Not very spacious, but I love the décor.

I see you, Monster!

Oh good, a guest.

Why don't you come down from your fortress, Piccolo?!

I've got something to give you!

Heh. How very thoughtful of you. Did you pick it out yourself?

This world certainly has

a bountiful supply of idiots, sire.

Quite true, but they're so amusing.

Even so, we can't have upstarts running amuck.

I'll make an example of this one.

A live broadcast of this destruction should do the trick.

Yes sire.

Almost there. Come on Nimbus, let's go faster!

Let's go Piccolo. What's the matter?

Are you afraid of me?

Why are you in such a hurry to die?

Come on, now.

You're not the only one I have to destroy today.

That's it, stay smug.

Catching you off guard'll make my job that much easier.

Hope you like your new throne.

An electric jar!

Oh, let's go! I've got a schedule to keep!

I'm late for an extermination.

Hmm.

Oh, you do that almost as well as I.

Looks like someone's been practicing.

I have to find a way to get closer to him.

You must take great pride in your abilities.

Though it will take much more than a fancy landing

to defeat me, boy.

For once, I agree with you, creature.

I've come prepared!

That's the problem with the human race,

no respect for the superior species.

Superior? Don't make me laugh.

I'm surprised you can walk upright.

A little closer. Five more feet and I'll be able

to use the Evil Containment Wave!

Ha! The only thing big about you is your mouth.

You're nothing.

But if you think you're so much better than me,

I can give you a competitor I know you will find a challenge.

What do you mean?

It's a surprise.

Ugh! What is that?!

Uh! No! Not another one!

Your name shall be Drum. Your first official duty

will be to teach this idiot a lesson.

What are you laughing at?

With looks like that,

I'm surprised you have a sense of humor.

Piccolo! Arrrh! You're finished!

Tien Shinhan was prepared to fight King Piccolo.

But what of this new menace?

Will Goku arrive in time to help?

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!

H-He's strong...

And this monster is only a myrmidon of Piccolo...

I can't believe this!

Hah, so you were only talk.

Young fool!

How did you, having such a weak level, dare to oppose me?
