Last time on Dragon Ball...

Now watch and learn...

You're about to see for yourself how powerful I really am!

Come on! I'm ready anytime you are!

Piccolo was furious that Goku dared

to challenge him, so he pulled out all the stops

and tried to clobber his pint-sized opponent.

But the wily young hero proved to be more than a handful.

Unfortunately, a well placed punch sent Goku flying,

and it looked like this battle was over

before it could ever get started.

With his competition crushed,

Piccolo now has free reign over Eastern City

and that's got everyone afraid for their lives.

Ha, ha. That's it! He's gone! Ha, ha.

Good riddance, kid!

Is Goku really gone?

Or is there a chance that some miracle will happen

and he'll be able to pull himself up

and face Piccolo one more time? Stay tuned!

Son Goku's

Greatest Crisis !!

Son Goku's

Greatest Crisis !!

"The Biggest Crisis"

If he was their best, then I stand alone

as the most powerful force on Earth!

No, I can't let it end this way!

My turn!

Ka...

–No, it can't be... –Me...

Ah! Goku is that you?!

Ha... Me...

That's impossible!

Ahh!

What?!

Ha!

Nice try, but that won't work on me!

Oh, yeah?!

Ah!

I gotcha!

A direct hit! He survived the Kamehameha!

Hey! I couldn't have hurt you that much! On your feet.

I'm just getting warmed up!

What are you, a monster?!

The only monster here is you!

This fight isn't over until only one of us is left standing.

Hear my words...

You won't be so lucky this time!

Hmm.

King...

Incredible! Goku's even more powerful than before!

Hang on! We'll be at the King's castle in about ten minutes.

Do you think Tien could hold out this long, Yamcha?

He must be okay. I haven't heard any news about him

from West City, but if there's any trouble

when we get there, I'm joining in on the fight!

Uh. Have you gone bananas?

You know how tough Tien is! How are you gonna help?

Huh?

Do you wanna bite?

No, I'm not hungry.

Huh?

Now a special news bulletin from West City!

At this very moment, the monster called Piccolo

is battling near the King's castle!

Good! Piccolo is still there!

Uh. So, maybe we should turn back now?

Hm?

Your highness, please. Let's get out of here!

Now is a good time to go!

I refuse to leave the castle!

But sir, something terrible could happen to you!

You're in great danger if you stay here!

I can't leave...

Listen to me.

The best thing for you to do is leave the city immediately

and come back when it's safe.

This is the only choice we have, sir!

Please, sir.

Very well...

But what about all those people out there?

I can't just leave them behind.

I wish there was something I could do about this.

Goku has the advantage! Piccolo can be defeated!

It looks as though two unidentified people

have surrounded Piccolo, and at this time, there appears

to be an intense battle going on inside the King's castle.

Two?

Did he say there are two people?

I thought Tien was the only one down there.

Here's a picture taken by telephoto lens

of what's happening inside the castle grounds.

We can't get any closer because it would be too dangerous

for our camera crew. However, I have some new information

on the two unidentified people.

One appears to be a young man, a very bald young man.

And the other is a small boy.

A small boy?

Uh? Could it be him?

That is all the information we can provide at

this time. Stay tuned for our continuing up to the minute

coverage of the War in West City.

Could it be?

Goku?

Ouch!

Without the use of that leg, you can't avoid me much longer!

Ow! I only need one leg to finish you!

Really? That I'd like to see!

Power Pole extend!

Yah!

Goku? How could it be him? It can't be him!

But no one saw him die.

Everyone just assumed he was dead.

I mean, don't you remember what Baba once told us?

He certainly is amazing...

I sense he'll be a great hero of his time.

Huh. You're right. I remember! It is Goku!

Then we don't have to worry

'cause he'll take care of everything!

Yeah! Goku's gonna to save the world!

Not bad for a kid, huh?

That staff is nothing but a glorified crutch.

I'll... show... you!

Uh. His body is growing!

Whoa! Look at him! It looks like he's going to blow himself up!

Power Pole!

Ha! Now your weakness is exposed!

No! He can't move!

I have you now!

Huh?!

Hm? That's strange. The picture's all broken up.

Look! Up there!

Mm? Ah!

What is that?

It looks like it's coming from the King's castle!

Uh?!

Uh, Suno, are you okay?

Are you all right, Grandma? Please wake up.

Dear...?

Huh?

Oh my... That was a really close one!

My castle... The city... Gone!

It is finished!

There is no one left to stand against my power!

Wait! I feel his spirit! No, it can't be!

I know I got him! There's no way he could move!

Yoo-hoo...

Up here!

Your friend's heroics shall prove to be in vain.

You saved me, Tien. Thanks!

Hey Tien, what's wrong? You okay?

Too bad...

He used up all his energy helping you escape from me.

Since you can't move on your own,

He's right. I'm exhausted.

I will send you away from this world together!

Come on... let's go. I'm ready... to fight... you!

Oh? Are you so stubborn?

The attack might not be as powerful as the last one,

but that doesn't matter, because it'll be strong enough

to destroy a little brat like you!

You should've given up a long time ago.

Now you're going to regret the day we ever crossed paths.

Goku...

Don't underestimate my Explosive Wave!

Now's my chance!

I guess it's now or never!

Darn it! I couldn't hit him hard enough because of my leg!

That's too bad! 'Cause you're gonna pay for that!

Not again!

That should solve that little problem.

That's more like it! I destroyed him.

Anybody up there?!

I don't believe it!

No way you're gonna get rid of me that easily!

With Goku proving more of a match than expected,

which warrior will have what it takes

to finish their most hated opponent once and for all!?

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!

D-Damn brat!

This time is the time to finish it off!

This Piccolo Daimao can not be other than victorious!

I... I will never give up!

Until the end... I'll fight until the end with all of my forces!

Next time on Dragon Ball:

"The Final Gamble!!"

Don't miss it!

The Final Gamble ! !

"Final Showdown"
