I'll get you, kitty!

You're fast!

Previously on Dragon Ball,

Goku began a rigorous training program

to prepare himself for the next World Martial Arts Tournament,

and his meeting with King Piccolo's alter ego,

Goku attempted to outrun lightning.

The hero rejoiced over his supposed victory,

until the truth became shockingly clear.

Goku took a more subtle approach to his problem

by clearing his mind of all worry

and focusing on the world around him.

Slowly he became attuned to the rhythm of his environment and,

with help from Master Mutaito,

learned his spiritual energy was a mighty tool,

powerful enough to cut through fire.

But his attempt to cut through water

was unsuccessful,

leaving Popo and Kami in doubt of his potential.

Unwavering, Goku continued to practice

with a young Turtle Hermit,

who he met through time travel.

Will Goku pass this new trial? The answer is coming up next!

Goku's Opponent is... Goku ! ?

"Goku's Doll"

Hello, Popo. Would you mind

being my fighting partner once in a while?

Hm?

A bit early. You're still working on your mental training.

Mmm. I understand, Popo.

But, I'd still prefer a sparring partner.

Hm...

Aah!

Given the proper stimulus,

anything can flourish.

Oh, I've come up with a marvelous idea!

You wish to continue your training, correct?

Mhm!

Then I have a solution. I will provide you with a partner.

Really? Great! Is he going to be strong?

He'll be as strong as you are.

Perfect!

Give me your head for a moment.

Uuuh... Like this?

What did ya do that for?!

All will soon be made clear. Your practice begins at noon.

I can't wait to meet my new sparring partner!

Whoever Popo gets, I hope he's strong and dedicated;

Someone like me.

Hmmm. Hm!

Korin's legend... Is he really that famous?

Believe me, Yamcha, I was skeptical at first,

but it's true.

Korin is more than just a person.

It's a sacred land deep in the woods to the west.

One who successfully climbs Korin's Tower will meet him.

He's said to be the greatest Martial Arts Master of all time.

Deep in the woods? It doesn't sound like

anyone knows where his tower is exactly.

That's true. All we know is to head to the west.

Uuh!

Uh! Uh! Uuh?

Hm?

Hm?!

♪ Over those mountains, hoi hoi... ♪

♪ Over this river, hoi hoi... ♪

♪ A weird, old man who's been alive for 10,000 years... ♪

Do we always have to pick the hardest path?

Just think of it as part of our training.

Ah! Hm.

That's it!

Ah! All done!

Hey Popo! When am I going to meet my new partner?

Be patience, young one!

Mmmm?

Uuh...

Uh... Popo, is this– is this my partner?

He doesn't look very strong to me.

You may be surprised.

Uuh.

There are no rules to speak of in this match.

Simply continue fighting until one of you gives up.

Hmm.

I can attack him as much as I want to?

Correct.

Thank you!

He doesn't say much, does he?

You may begin!

I can't sense anything from him. How can he be so calm?

Wow!

It's like fighting a mirror. He moves the same as me!

Mm?!

The air is very thin up here,

but he isn't out of breath at all!

Aah!

Aaah!

You should never allow outside influences

to distract from a fight.

You're a worthy opponent, all right.

Ah!

It's called the Afterimage Technique...

Isn't it neat?!

Blah-ha-ha-ha!

Nah-na!

How'd you know where I was? That was impossible!

Aaah!

Ah-aah! Okay, I've had just about enough of this!

Ah! Ooh!

Uah!

Ta-da! Surprised?!

P-Po-Popo! What is that?!

It's a doll that looks and reacts like you.

I brought it to life with water and clay.

It's a fascinating technique!

A doll! No wonder I didn't sense any life from him!

You may continue now.

Hey, wait!

Fine! I'll join you!

This should be interesting.

This is crazy! I can't be beaten by a doll!

Aah!

The doll knows something I don't.

I can't see his moves but he can see mine.

Now you understand.

Your Spiritual Energy provides a trail

that the doll can easily follow.

Maybe I've been giving him the wrong kind of energy!

Ka... Me...

Ha... Me...

Ha!

Oh no! He used the Afterimage! Aah!

Aah!

I was wrong, Popo. We're not the same.

He's much stronger than me.

Listen to me, Goku. It's as I've told you before, dear boy.

Your speed and skill are matched evenly with the doll,

only you haven't finished your mind training.

Mind training.

Mhmm.

A warrior's strength is always important in a battle,

but it is not enough.

The mind is also a powerful weapon

and must be developed just like your muscles.

If you do not master your mind training,

you will never be able to defeat the doll.

I won't be beaten! Not by a doll!

I have to win. I'll never give up.

You missed my point.

Don't be hasty. You'll only waste valuable energy.

Just calm down.

I have to remain calm.

That's it... Just free your mind.

Incredible! He's so calm. I can't sense anything.

Something about that doll reminds me of Popo.

I have to clear my mind.

Yes, you must. It's very important.

Come on, focus!

If I can let go and concentrate,

I should have a fighting chance.

That's what you've done, isn't it?

Shake if off! Every thought.

Hm?!

You can't mimic the doll. Shake off all negative thoughts.

This is most unexpected– and if nothing changes soon,

you might lose more than just this fight.

I'm trying, but we're just too much alike!

Ooh!

Mm?

I-I did it! I hit him! Uh!

Hmm.

Uh–aah!

That's not calm, that was lucky. Concentrate!

I have... to remember... how I did that!

Uuuah...

I did it! I mastered my mind training and defeated the doll!

Not exactly.

Huh?

It was just good timing. The doll's energy ran out.

Uuuh...!

Uuuh...

I thought I defeated him with my skills.

No, you still need more training.

Yamcha and the others

continue their long trek to Korin's Tower.

Will they make it?

And if so, will Korin agree to train them?

With less than three years before

the next World Martial Arts Tournament,

will Goku be able to complete his training in time?

It's a race our hero cannot afford to lose,

for waiting to challenge him at the competition

will be none other than Piccolo's alter ego.

Stay tuned for the next adventure 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!

Finally Popo agrees to fight me.

I won't be beaten like last time!

Alright, come!

What?

Hide and seek?

Is that part of my training?

You'll never know before you try.
