Last time on Dragon Ball,

Goku overcame the pain Piccolo inflicted on him,

and threw everything he had at his out-of-control opponent.

It's time for your terror to end!

It was a showdown between two fierce warriors,

and it was clear that only one of them would survive!

Luckily, Goku summoned enough strength to bring

the curtain down on Piccolo.

I won.

I did it!

Goku scored a direct hit,

finally ending Piccolo's spree of terror.

Hello?

Oh, Goku!

Even though he was exhausted from battle,

Goku had no time to waste.

He had to retrieve his Power Pole

so that he could climb to Kami's temple in the sky,

in the hope that Kami would revive his friends

that Piccolo had pummeled into oblivion.

But one question remains:

Can Goku convince Kami to help him?

The Temple Above the Clouds

The Temple Above the Clouds

"Temple Above the Clouds"

Huh?

I found the Power Pole!

Boy, that didn't take very long.

This is just an example of Kami's will at work.

Good work.

Soon you'll be ready to meet Kami.

Let's go!

I'm ready to go right this minute.

Fine. Then I'll meet you on the roof with your Power Pole.

Sure!

Now, take the Power Pole,

and put it in the hole in the roof top there.

Okay.

Now hold on to the pole, and it will take you to the temple.

So, like this?

Yes, that's it.

Now command your pole to stretch and you'll be on your way.

I see. So it's like an elevator, isn't it?

Ah, ah!

I want you to take this bell with you.

What's this for?

Only a person with that bell can meet Kami.

Uh, okay.

I'm all set. Get ready. Here I come, Kami.

Uh, wait a minute.

You're going to meet Kami dressed like that?

Your clothes are all torn up.

You should show him some respect.

New clothes?

Nah, don't worry. Your new clothes would get worn out, too.

What do you mean by that?

Are you trying to say I'll have

to fight Kami when I get up there?

Oh no, of course not. Kami's very gentle.

What exactly do you mean?

Oh, you'll see.

Oh, don't worry about it, it's safe.

Uh...

It'll all make sense when you meet Kami.

Now go, go. Be on your way.

Come on. Can't you be a little more specific?

That's okay! I'm still going.

Great, and good luck! You're gonna need it.

See ya.

Um, okay. Here I go.

Goku, watch yourself, and make sure you don't fall.

Power Pole, extend!

See you when I get back!

Sometimes, I wonder if he's afraid of anything.

Don't know. I gave up trying to figure him out a long time ago.

I've got a bad feeling about this.

I hope he'll be all right up there.

Master Roshi, Krillin, Chaiotzu,

this is for you.

I'll be seeing you again soon.

I just know it.

That does it. You're back in one piece again.

It's a good thing you're in excellent shape, Tien.

Ya should heal fast.

Thanks, but your kindness helps a lot.

Stop. There's no need to flatter me.

Hey, what about me?

Huh?

I sure wish I had a girl who looked like you,

and wanted to take care of me all day.

Uh...

Oh my. I made you guys blush.

Pig, shut it!

Don't make me get tough! Quit squirming,

and stand still.

And now a special announcement from the king,

to the boy who defeated Piccolo and saved the world.

You are to receive the Blue Star Medal for your bravery.

Hey, he's talking about Goku.

If you're out there young man,

please come and collect your medal

at your earliest convenience, for what you have done.

The citizens of Eastern City owe you our deepest gratitude.

Wow! The Blue Star Medal.

Hey, isn't that the highest honor in the whole world?

I hope that he shows up to get it!

I just hope that wherever he is, he's not in trouble.

I remember he said something about meeting Kami.

If that's true, I wonder how he's going to do it?

Great! That could be Goku.

Stay right there, you!

Sorry. W-We just wanted to talk to the boy who beat Piccolo.

Yeah, he's a hero and I want to get an exclusive.

What exactly is your relation to the little boy?

Care to make a statement at this time?

How old is the boy?

Have you known him very long?

Wow. Who woulda thought that a kid like Goku

could ever become such a big star?

Goku! Goku. Goku!

Lucky guy. I'm so jealous.

Come on, let's have a look at the kid already!

Are you hiding him somewhere in the house?

Uh... I don't know where he is right now.

Hi! What's goin' on everybody?

It's Goku?

Goku?

Did you have any special training?

Hi! My name's Goku!

Mr. Goku, everyone's dying to know about

the battle you had with Piccolo.

Care to comment?

Well, before I do...

What is it?

How about a kiss?!

What?

Uh.

Mm-hm.

Yeah, come on, give me a big kiss, sweetie!

Let's go. What're you waiting for?

Oh, my head hurts.

Oolong!

That does it! Let's squash him!

Get some pictures of this.

What? Oh, no.

My, what a special birthday boy you are.

I hope this has been a very special day for you.

We're so proud of you, dear.

Yes, happy birthday, my dear!

Happy birthday!

Here's a present from the both of us to you.

Wow. What could it be?

A plane!

Great, thanks a lot! Thanks, Daddy. Thanks, Mama.

What?! Who's there?

Very strange. It's all clear.

Get him, Daddy.

Come back, you thief!

Sic 'em boy. Go get him!

Oh, my plane is all broken.

That must be the temple up ahead.

Wow! It's huge.

Korin was right, it's way up here.

I hope my pole can stretch all the way.

I made it.

Uh, uh?

Ah-ha!

Great, a ladder.

I wonder how Goku is doing?

I hope he's okay.

Hey, what kind of guy is this Kami anyway?

Come on, spit it out.

Well, let's put it this way:

I'm sure Goku will be quite surprised when he sees his face.

You mean that he's a really scary looking person?

That's right.

But Goku has seen him before.

Eh?

Mm-hm. And when he meets Kami, he'll be surprised.

There's no doubt about that.

Huh?

Uh?!

Hey. Hi.

Hi.

Hi. I'm Goku. I'm looking for someone named Kami.

Ah, yes. I know Kami, but my name is Mr. Popo.

Kami told me all about you. You beat Piccolo, didn't you?

What? How did he find out about that?

Kami knows about everything, my friend. Kami is great.

So, is that Kami's house over there?

Yes.

Can I meet him now?

Do you have proof

that Korin has approved of your being here?

Uh?

You mean this bell? Korin gave it to me.

Good, it's clear to me that you have been approved then.

Are you ready for the test?

Uh? What test?

The test. You must fight me, Mr. Popo,

and if you win the match, you will then be able

to meet Kami.

Sure, that sounds like an easy enough thing to do.

Okay, let's have a match.

You're the first challenger I've had in centuries.

This is exciting.

Great. So, we'll fight until one of us gives in, okay?

Sounds great.

Ha! Have I got a surprise for you.

Really? Please then, go ahead. Show me.

Here I go.

He's gone.

There you are.

Ouch! Hey!

Yes, gotcha.

Yeah, but I think that punch was just a lucky coincidence.

I won't let that happen again. Are you ready?

Always.

With this punch...

...you'll give up!

Oh. Got you again.

You're not very strong.

Please, are you actually the same guy who defeated Piccolo?

I am strong, so you take that back!

You're weak.

This time I'll get you.

Yes, please, come on.

Huh? You won't beat me.

Look what you did,

you frightened the birds away with your bad attitude.

Rrgh... Be quiet!

Don't make fun of me!

Ah!

Mr. Popo is very disappointed. Too bad.

I'm sorry, you will not meet with Kami.

I can't believe that Korin would even send you here.

No! It's not over! I'll get you!

Ka... Me...

Ha... Me...

HA!

What? I don't believe it.

He ate the Kamehameha Wave!

Why don't you just give up?

I'll try this one. This is the punch that beat Piccolo.

No way!

It's a shame that you have such great power,

yet you make such poor use of it.

You need to learn control,

because only then will you be able to pass this test,

and meet with Kami.

Has Goku met his match

in the jovial Mr. Popo, and if so, does this mean

he'll never get to meet with Kami and save his friends?

Find out, on the next 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!

U-Unbelievable!

This guy is super strong!

Ahem...

This is because God has been teaching Mister Popo a lot.

Huh?

Then this means that God is even stronger than you?

Next time on Dragon Ball:

"Enter God!!"

Enter God!!

Enter God!!

"Earth's Guardian Emerges"

Be sure to watch!
