Previously, on Dragon Ball...

Goku met Kami, the Guardian of the Earth,

and learned that Piccolo transferred his powers

to a new incarnation, Piccolo Jr., just before he died.

Goku has agreed to train with Kami for three years,

hoping to become strong enough to beat Piccolo once and for all

at the next Martial Arts Tournament.

I won't let you down, Kami.

In exchange for Goku's vow,

Kami recreated the Eternal Dragon,

and it didn't take long for Bulma to choose a wish.

Master Roshi, Krillin, Chiaotzu,

and everyone else killed by Piccolo

have all been brought back to life.

Goku must learn a great deal

to stand a chance against Piccolo's new form.

Now his difficult training begins.

Faster than Lightning ! !

Faster than Lightning ! !

"Quicker Than Lightning"

Mr. Popo, are you sure this'll make me stronger?

Even you asking is wasteful. Countless unnecessary moves.

Like the wings of a fledgling bird,

they can flap, but they cannot fly.

Uh, okay.

You must be like a stone.

A stone?

Calm and still, so that rain and wind cannot move you. You see?

Oh, that's easy!

How's this? I look just like one, right?

Stones do not have voices.

Ouch! You're making my head bumpy!

Nor do they feel pain.

Being a stone is a lot harder than it looks.

Yaah!

Nice run! You've improved, Krillin.

And I'm still set on easy mode.

Hold up, little buddy.

I think it's my turn to tap in.

Yeah, let's roll.

Hey, Puar, can you help me?

Sure. I do this for Yamcha all the time.

Huh...?

Shh!

Aah!

Chop, chop, Puar.

You don't want my skin to look like a fire engine, do you?

Now don't miss any spots, okay?

You don't have to worry about that, my princess.

Huh...?

Yee-haw!

Back-spasm!

That's it! You dirty old man!

Oh, okay, we've learned our lesson here!

Please, put the gun down!

So this is what it's like being a stone.

It's neat. You're always relaxed,

and your mind just wanders around, like a bee.

It's like dreaming, but better.

I get to pick whatever I want to think about.

Hey, I wonder if Master Roshi and Krillin

are back to life yet.

I sure do miss them.

And Chiaotzu, too.

Mm-mm-mmm.

Oh.

Oh. Stones don't think about things either.

They just sit, and think of... nothing.

Now you're learning how to truly relax your mind, Goku.

Okay, maybe a little too relaxed.

Let's try this from a new angle, shall we?

I'm going to practice my stick routine.

Watch me, and don't move.

Sounds good to me!

Are you frightened?

No, why would I be?

I saw the stick's not long enough to reach me.

True. Now, keep staring at it closely.

Don't move.

If you move, you fail the test!

Hey!

Okay! I give up!

Why did you move from your position?

Because that stick grew like my Power Pole. It was gonna hit me.

Incorrect. It's no Power Pole.

It's just a regular, finely carved piece of cedar.

Huh?

Hey, you're right, but that doesn't make any sense.

I'm sure I saw it moving closer toward me.

It was an optical illusion, Goku.

You can't always trust what your eyes see.

Huh?

That's why you must see without them.

What am I doing now?

I want you to put on that blindfold and catch this cat.

I get it. So I use my ears instead of my eyes!

I got ya, kitty!

Uhh...?

Hey!

Hold on.

How'd you get all the way over there?

Huh?!

You really move fast!

Over there again, huh? Tricky.

Wait? This way? No, that way. Slow down a second!

Hey!

Gotcha!

Ow! That didn't work.

Hey! Two bells? That isn't fair, Mr. Popo. You cheated!

What am I supposed to learn from that?

Well, maybe you're supposed to use another sense.

Like what?

One cannot describe sight to the blind.

You'll have to stumble upon it yourself.

And the sooner you relax your mind,

the sooner it will come to you.

To learn something, I think of nothing.

Wow, Mr. Popo, I have a long way to go, don't I?

You said you learned all of this up here with Kami, right?

Do you think I can do the same training

that you did with him now?

Pretty please?

It isn't pleasant. Are you sure you want to?

Yes.

Fine. Follow me.

I trust Mr. Popo has warned you of the dangers of this.

Mm-hm!

I'll do anything you tell me.

You risk a pain far worse than death.

It doesn't matter.

Go to Mount Rumble, fetch the Sacred Crown

and place it on your head.

A sacred crown?

You mean those round things that kings and queens wear?

That's correct.

Ooh, that sounds exciting!

I'll go get that crown and be back here in no time!

Oh, wait a second, I just have one question.

Where exactly is Mount Rumble?

I'll take you there now. Just stay where you are.

What is this place?

It's a special transportation room.

It allows the Guardian of Earth to go anywhere he desires.

Whoa!

Crazy! Where am I?

Wait up!

Hello.

Do you know if there's a place called Mount Rumble nearby?

Very scary! It sure looks like a place a sacred crown would be!

Thank you!

It feels creepy around here.

I hope there aren't any monsters at the top.

Why do they call it Mount Rumble, anyway?

There it is! The crown! Wow, it's shiny.

That's great! Didn't have to beat a monster!

I was at least expecting some wild dogs or something.

It's sticking to me!

Struck by lightning, that's just bad luck.

The lightning must be aiming for this crown.

Gotta go!

Pipi!

Pipi! Where are you?!

We'd better turn back, sweetie.

Mom! It's that boy I saw!

Hmm...?

Well, hello again. Did you save me from the mountain?

Yes, and not a moment too soon.

Churi spotted you in the water.

Mm-hm!

Your name's Churi? Oh, my name is Goku.

Hi, Goku.

So, you live here with just your mother?

Yes. And Pipi, of course.

Pipi?

Pipi's the name of Churi's pet bird.

They go everywhere together. She's taken care of him

ever since he was a little, fuzzy baby.

Ohh...

Pipi flew off yesterday and we haven't been able to find him.

Churi is worried sick.

You don't have to be upset, Churi.

As soon as I get done with my mission,

I'll help you track him down myself!

Oh, do you mean it?

Mm-hm!

And what is your mission, Goku? We don't get visitors much.

Well, I'm supposed to climb Mount Rumble

and take the Sacred Crown without getting zapped.

The real Sacred Crown?

Yeah. Why, have you heard of it?

Uh-huh. Right, Mom?

It is a well-known legend throughout the mountains.

They say that whoever retrieves the crown

will become the strongest fighter in all the world.

Whoa! Really? How cool!

I'm gonna be the strongest in the world!

Huh?

What?

I've got to get all the way down

without the lightning hitting me. But how?

It's so fast, I don't have time to react.

It doesn't even seem possible.

Help! I'm slipping!

Hold on tight! Don't you let go!

You're gonna have to pull yourself up, somehow, sweetie!

I can't! I'm scared!

What's going on?

Churi's on the roof!

We don't have a ladder! I-I can't help her!

Oh, okay. Tell her not to go anywhere.

I'm on my way, Churi.

Just give me your hand, okay?

Keep stretching. You're a little too far away.

I can't!

Are we safe?

Yeah! That was kind of fun.

Oh, Goku, I can't possibly thank you enough.

So what were you doing on the roof, anyway?

I... I thought if I went someplace high,

Pipi would see me and come back home.

You really care about him a lot, don't you?

My goodness, Churi. You should be ashamed of yourself.

What if Goku hadn't been here?

Pipi was close. I could feel him flying through the air,

looking for me.

Wow, amazing. He was all the way up in the sky,

but you could tell where he was?

Mm-hm.

You imagined it.

Uh?

There!

What are you talking about, sweetie?

I'm right here!

Churi, please!

Can't you hear it?

Hear what?

You're starting to worry me, dear. Please come back inside.

Pipi! You're really back! Yeah!

I knew it was you!

You have the loudest chirp in the world!

What did you run away for?

It's truly a blessing.

I guess. I was thinking more like confusing.

How did you know he was here?

I'm not sure. I felt him chirping.

Felt him?

She felt him.

She heard him without her ears!

Thanks a lot, Churi!

Are you leaving?

Well, come back soon.

What Mr. Popo said makes sense now!

I've got to see the lightning with all my senses!

I've got to feel it!

Aahh...

I'm calm as the sky, and still as a stone.

Hmm...

You must use another sense.

Feel the movements of the air around me,

and then you'll be able to see me.

You need to get rid of your redundant moves.

You must be more tranquil than the sky

and yet quicker than lightning.

I feel it!

Uwaah!

I'm the strongest in the world!

Mastering his senses is harder than Goku thought.

Was that fourth bolt of lightning

more than our little, headstrong hero can take?

Will he ever stand up on Mount Rumble again?

Don't miss the next exciting 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!

This time I'll be up against a big guy who can evade lighting!

Woah! I'm so excited!

I wanna fight him as soon as possible!

You need to learn to hide your presence.

Huh? What'cha talkin' 'bout?

Next time on Dragon Ball:

"As Quietly as the Sky"

Don't miss it!

As Quietly as the Sky

As Quietly as the Sky
