I got ya!

Previously on Dragon Ball,

Goku began his three-year training

for the next World Martial Arts Tournament,

making good on his pledge to Popo.

One cannot describe sight to the blind.

You'll have to stumble upon it yourself.

A pledge that forced him to undertake

the most rigorous training of his life.

Goku was more than happy to pay the price

for the revival of his friends.

However, the dangerous trials he faced took their toll.

Popo and the Guardian of the Earth watched with glee

as Goku bravely endured his electrifying challenge.

It seemed as though he had bested his shocking adversary.

Until...

As Quietly as the Sky

As Quietly as the Sky

"Secret of the Woods"

I'll never give up...

One way or another, I'll find a way to move faster

than the lightning...

Finally, you've awakened.

Uh... Uhh...

What happened?

You've been asleep for three whole days.

That long?

Everything seems okay, but I...

I could have sworn I was struck by lightning.

Yes, yes you were, in fact. But you recovered quickly.

That's great!

That lightning won't hit me again. I'll beat it this time!

Maybe later. But today, we're going to try something else.

No lightning?

Come, follow me.

Uhh...

Ohh.

This place again?

There is only one way to guarantee success

against the lightning.

You must shed all that you are and become blank, like the sky.

If you want success, do what I say.

To understand fully, you must first journey into the woods.

I get it! There's someone in the woods I have to fight!

Is that it, Popo?

I have told you all that I can.

You must go into the woods and see for yourself.

He's strong, right?

This is going to be a great challenge! Yes! Yes!

Now, are you ready?

Mm-hm!

Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha.

There's no end! It's a bottomless swamp!

Ka... Me... Ha... Me... Ha!

Ohh...

I sure could use something to eat. I'm starving.

There's no way I'll be able to do any training

until I've eaten something.

It's food!

Perfect!

That wasn't very nice!

Mmm...

It's all right now. I'm all dry.

Sorry about that.

I've been trapping rabbits and wild boars for years.

But this was the first time I've caught a human.

Your trap smelled delicious. What's your name?

My name is Mousse, and over here is my wife, Éclair.

Hello, boy.

I'm Goku. Nice to meet you.

And now, let me introduce you to my kids.

Children, come quick! Hurry!

Waugh!

You've got a lot of kids!

From the left, there's Cupcake.

Pudding.

Nice to meet you.

Donut.

Hi!

Jelly...

Welcome to our home.

...and Jam.

Hello, sir.

Creampuff.

My friends call me "Puff."

Cocoa, Cookie, and Crepe.

How do you do?

You have great names. I'm Goku.

Please eat supper with us today.

I'm afraid I don't have any more steak,

but Grandpa will return soon with lots of fish!

Mmm!

Well, how about that! Here he is now.

The fish were biting today.

Grandpa, Grandpa! It's great that you're home.

I missed you so much!

Can we play cards, Grandpa?

Grandpa, you promised to read the picture book.

Please! Come on!

Easy, children.

We have a guest. Welcome.

We still have plenty of food. Eat your fill.

I will. Thank you, sir!

So, tell us about your journey, Goku. Why come into the woods?

I'm here because of a promise I made to Mr. Popo.

Popo?

Popo? What a funny name!

No, it's not. Besides, I know a squirrel named Poppy.

Crepe is right.

What a nice squirrel. He doesn't like nuts, but he loves sugar.

Popo knows Poppy?

No. I doubt it.

Ahh. Poppy has issues.

He broke a branch and fell on Palepaw.

Poppy's on a diet, just like Papa.

So you see, it's very doubtful that Popo knows Poppy,

or Palepaw!

Who's Palepaw?

Hmm...

He's an angry squirrel.

With a mean face like this.

No, this is a mean face!

That's kind of what Mr. Popo looks like,

only he has one tooth.

So does Poppy!

–Wait, you're thinking –That's what we'll

–of Palepaw! –call him, one-tooth Poppy!

I think Poppy is a wonderful squirrel,

and he has a beautiful coat of fur!

Whoever this Popo is,

I'll bet Poppy and Palepaw could defeat him in a fight!

Popo's not the one looking for a fight.

That's what I'm supposed to do!

I'm afraid the only person around here

who likes to fight is Yaochun.

He's strong as an ox!

He lives up in the mountains, about 5 miles north of here.

Goku, you're not seriously thinking about visiting Yaochun?

Mm-hm.

Y-You don't wanna do that.

He'd mop the floor with you, honest!

It sounds like a worthy challenge!

I'll say one thing for you, little man,

you've got a lot of spunk chasing after Yaochun!

Thanks. I guess Yaochun is the reason Popo sent me here.

I can't wait to fight him!

Well, you won't find him alone.

I'll take you there tomorrow when I go fishing.

Haah!

This time I'll win for sure!

I hope we get to fight each other in the tournament finals.

Yeah.

You guys are acting like big shots,

but don't forget about me.

I've already died once. That makes me unstoppable!

But, Master, I don't understand.

But you've always trained us for the tournament.

It's kinda your job. Why won't you help us this time?

I do appreciate your predicament,

but in case you hadn't noticed,

I'm a little busy right now.

Does anybody have a socket wrench?

Please, Master.

Can't you see we're desperate?

You're the only one here who can give us guidance.

All right. There is one thing I can tell you.

You boys will never be a match for Goku

unless you change your routine.

Look, let me share with you a little story.

It all started when I was about your age.

I was brash and confident, and I had a full head of hair!

I was even better looking then, than I am now.

Anyway, I happened to run into this lovely nurse named Iola,

who it turned out was in the same book club

as my sister's best friend's cousin.

Now that's serendipity.

Thank you, Master.

I think I can speak for everyone here

when I say that was most insightful.

Uh, yeah.

Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

That's why I'm here.

What a way to inspire!

Thank you.

Master, how can a young bald guy ever meet beautiful girls?

Well, that skill just comes naturally.

Eh, right boys? ...Right?

–Pardon. –Excuse me, Master.

Goodbye! Nice to meet you!

Goodbye! So long!

So, do you go fishing every day?

I sure do.

I leave home at the same time and get back at the same time,

just like clock work.

No change in the last 60 years.

Wow! Sixty whole years? That's a long time.

And a lot of fish!

You've caught fish every time you've gone out?

You better believe it,

and not just for my family but the neighbors, too.

Even the bears hit me up sometimes.

If it weren't for me, the whole forest would starve!

Here you are. Good luck.

Thank you.

You be careful.

And I hope you catch a bunch of fish!

I'd be happy with the load I caught yesterday.

Bye!

Take care!

That's got to be him.

Who are you?

My name is Goku. I'm looking for Yaochun. Are you him?

I am.

Good. Will you please fight with me?

What?

Are you serious about this, little boy?

Mm-hmm!

All right. But I won't hold back.

I'm ready!

Here I come!

Weird! He's left himself completely unguarded.

I don't believe it. I've been beat by a kid.

But I'm... faster than lightning.

You are strong!

Are you serious? Are you really faster than lightning?

Of course not! I just say that to scare people.

Then you're not the one. Oh well.

If Popo didn't send me here to fight Yaochun,

then who am I supposed to meet?

I wonder if there's even

a strong warrior around here.

Oh, so we meet again.

Hi, Karinto. When did you get here?

Why are you so surprised?

This is the same rock I sit on every morning.

But just a little while ago...

You must have been half asleep. It doesn't really matter.

Care to try your luck?

Sure!

I've caught fish before, but only with my bare hands.

I've never used a pole.

You're holding the pole too tight.

You need to relax those arms and take it easy.

Oh, like this?

That's better. Remain calm like the water.

Take in a deep breath. Now.

Exhale. Look to the sky.

Huh?

Isn't it beautiful?

Oh, wow.

Keep looking up. Feel the world around you. Concentrate.

I see what you mean. Wow! Everything is so calm and quiet.

What's wrong? Having trouble keeping focus?

Close your eyes.

Remain perfectly still and concentrate on the sound

of the running water.

Soon you will feel its rhythm.

The water sets the pace for the fish.

Once you can feel its rhythm, you will be one with your prey.

Don't rush it.

Relieve yourself of all anxiety. The fish can sense your stress.

Once you've cleared your mind,

you will sense the approaching fish

before it ever bites the string. Focus.

Pull up!

It's a keeper!

By the way, did you find the man you were looking for?

Yes. I did meet up with Yaochun.

But you did not find what you were seeking.

He still hasn't learned anything.

I'm not sure I agree.

I've got another one!

Leave some for tomorrow.

With a simple lesson,

Goku found joy and laughter

that had been in short supply over the last three years.

Join us for more fun and excitement,

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!

What's next up in my training, Popo?

You'll go to many places, and learn lots.

There you'll meet people you know.

Huh?

People I know?

Next time on Dragon Ball:
