Previously, on Dragon Ball...

Tien Shinhan unleashed his newest technique,

Quadruplication!

Goku was stunned by the crafty trick,

as the Four-Tien Army attacked.

Goku attempted to combat the overwhelming odds.

However, as the match progressed,

it became clear that Tien's relentless assault had

taken its toll on both his opponent, and the crowd.

Though he considered Goku an ally,

the three-eyed warrior was determined to defend and renew

his title as Master of Martial Arts.

Focus!

It wasn't long before Goku struck back,

disrupting Tien's force with a blinding light.

You made the first one worse by breaking into four!

Ah! No!

The battle was fierce.

But, in the end, Goku proved to be unstoppable.

With mighty force,

Goku piled on yet another victory

to his list of accomplishments.

Goku wins the first match of the semi-finals

and now goes on to the championship round

where the 23rd Master of Martial Arts will be determined.

Just enjoy the adulation of the crowd, Goku...

...while it lasts...

Junior was eager to begin his next fight,

this time against a mild-mannered Hero. Get ready.

The 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament is about to continue!

Who's Stronger ! ?

God vs Piccolo Daimao

Who's Stronger ! ?

God vs Piccolo Daimao

"Kami vs Piccolo"

You were terrific! No, I need to show more excitement.

Goku, you were horrific– I-I mean–you were terrific!

Hey, let go.

Good fight.

Yeah. He's definitely grown.

Our first fight lasted forever, and I barely won.

This time around, I barely kept up with him.

Goku can adapt to any fighting style.

His technique is flawless.

He is the strongest opponent I've ever faced,

and I believe he was holding back.

Huh?

It's true. There's no other logical explanation.

He didn't use the Kamehameha, not once.

I can't wait for the rematch.

Wow! Tien is either very brave or very... nuts.

Whoever fights Goku in the final round

sure has their work cut out for 'em.

This next match is an important one.

It will determine who will fight Goku in the final bout

for the title.

The outcome is unpredictable, but one thing is certain.

This battle will be a spectacle you won't want to miss!

So find a good view and get ready to welcome

the mysterious Junior and his unpredictable opponent, Hero!

That's me... Time to go.

ChiChi, I need to speak with Hero, alone.

Can you wait outside?

Huh...?

Hmm...

Is that you, Kami?

Goku.

That's a good disguise. I had no idea who you really were.

That was the point. This human masquerade worked well.

You came to defeat Junior, didn't you?

Why are you so interested in him?

Because he must be defeated and you can't do it.

Huh?

He is way out of your league.

No way! Are you sure?

Listen to me, Goku. Junior is a destroyer.

He will annihilate you and the entire human race

if he gets the chance.

To defeat him, you must understand his mind,

and as you know, we were once joined as one.

As Popo told you, Junior and I are bound by the same fate.

Even if you could destroy Junior, you would not,

for fear of killing me.

Popo... He should not have told you this.

He was trying to protect you. I'm glad I know the truth.

Now that you know,

can you honestly say that you will destroy him

when the time comes?

If you do not commit 100%,

you will fail and your race will die.

I can stop Junior without ending his life!

You cannot betray who you are.

Junior knows this and he will use it against you.

Your honor will be his greatest weapon.

There is more at stake here than just two lives.

If you can't see that, then you have already lost.

You're wrong!

Is this microphone on?

There seems to be some miscommunication,

but don't worry, the match will start soon.

Uh, Mr. Hero, we're waiting on you!

Don't hold your breath. The twerp probably ran away.

What's up?

Looks like he's having a conversation with Goku.

With Goku?

I wonder what those two could be talking about?

Whatever it is, they don't want me around to hear it.

That's strange.

I had no idea that they knew one another.

Look, Goku, you are very skilled,

and I don't pretend to know

all the training you've been through.

I left the bulk of your studies up to Mr. Popo.

But I do know this matter with Junior must be settled.

And I'm the only one to do it.

Please, you've got to trust me. I know I can defeat Junior.

If I'm right, you won't have to die!

I appreciate your concern, Goku. You have an honest heart

and I have no doubt you mean well.

I'll tell you a secret.

Death is a very scary proposition, even for Kami.

Have no fear. I will do what I must, and nothing more.

Ah, ladies and gentlemen, Hero has arrived!

Get ready! This is sure to be an amazing battle!

For a moment,

I thought you had developed a brain and threw in the towel.

Oh, ho-ho! Sorry. This is a big arena.

I got lost on my way here.

Somebody should have drawn him a map!

Next time, open your eyes!

Hero seems like such a clown.

I just don't see how he could be strong enough to beat Yamcha.

Perhaps being disarming is part of his strategy.

Yeah. Just like me!

Heh! He's a buffoon by skill. Yours is all natural.

Uh, hey! Be nice!

Look! There's something different about Hero this time.

He looks serious.

Why didn't you trust me, Kami?

You don't have to do this.

Hey, Goku. What were you two talking about?

Ha,ha. I'll tell you after the fight. Everything's fine.

Right.

I hope.

Geeet ready! The second round of the semi-finals begins now!

Why the serious look, old man?

Don't fear. I won't hurt you for long.

You'll be dead before you know it. I want Goku!

Is that the extent of your plan? Destroy Goku, rule the world?

Your vision is as lackluster as your flawed heritage.

Piccolo!

So pathetic, you were always the weaker half.

Wh-What do you mean? Who are you?!

I know all about you!

It looks like they're having an argument.

Yes, I definitely sense some tension.

Hold on!

Tell me! Who are you?!

What? How? I mean, they flew with the... I mean, wow!

If you're having trouble seeing, ladies and gentlemen,

don't be alarmed. It's not your eyes.

These two seem to be moving with superhuman speed!

Yeah, you can say that again.

Huh... This fight is peculiar.

Hero is attacking Junior like they're at war.

For him, this seems personal.

Judging by his physique,

I should be able to defeat this human with a look.

But his fighting style is similar to mine.

How is this possible?

He's coming straight at me!

Time... for you to say... goodbye.

Hero's strength is astounding!

Uh. How is it possible for any human to do what he just did?!

Who is he? He's not a human, that's for sure.

Maybe. It's outrageous.

Whoever he is, his powers seem almost limitless.

He's been busy.

His fighting skills have improved.

I had hoped my disguise as a human being

would throw him off guard.

Unfortunately, any tactical advantage this form brings

is wasted on that pompous upstart.

Oh, really? Disguised as a human being.

Reading minds is dirty business, Piccolo.

You! Did you really think you could fool me

with that fragile disguise?!

Your hand has been played and you've been unmasked.

I can't understand a single word coming out of

either one of their mouths.

It's like they're speaking in an entirely different language.

You're... not alone. I'm confused, too.

What do you think you're doing here, Kami?!

Hmph. I'm sure my visit comes as no surprise to you.

But then again, you always were a little slow.

You know our fates are intertwined.

You won't do anything to hurt me.

I've come here to stop you, one way or another.

Both Junior and Hero are speaking a similar language.

Unfortunately, it's unlike anything we've ever heard.

But the meaning is clear in any tongue.

These two warriors are out to get one another! I think.

Whatever they're saying, they don't want us to know about it.

Where's a translator when you need one?

Hmph!

You're bluffing! There's nothing you can do to stop me

and you know it!

Did you really think you could come here

and talk me out my quest?!

I was born to rule everything, including this backwards planet!

Your skills have improved, but you're as deluded as ever.

You're right. Whatever befalls you, happens to me.

And I'm just fine with that.

You're insane! You'd commit suicide?!

Whatever they're saying, Junior doesn't seem very happy.

It's a matter... of life and death.

Your concern is touching but unnecessary.

The humans showed me a way to get rid of you

without harming myself.

Huh?! What are you going to do?

Kami's up to something, I can tell. But what?

Uh, Hero has revealed a bottle, and placed it on the ground.

It doesn't register as a weapon so... the match will continue.

However, he may be attempting to cast a spell on his adversary.

Look out!

You ready for your new home?

No, not that!!

Evil Containment Wave!

Oh, no!

–What? –He's using a bottle?

Just once I'd like to see a normal fight!

He's using the same technique that Master Mutaito

used to lock up King Piccolo!

Kami!

It's anyone's guess as to what's going on here!

But one thing is clear,

the light unleashed by Hero has begun to enshroud Junior!

You've sealed your fate, Kami!

That looks fun. Can I play?! Evil Containment Wave, reversed!

Hero, look out!

Everyone, uh, hang on!

You tricked me! But if I am to be imprisoned, then so be it.

But I will not condemn this body to my fate.

Go now. I release you!

Ha! There you are!

You may have defeated me, but you won't win!

It's up to you, Goku!

Destroy him! Destroy him!

What will you do, boy?

The Evil Containment Wave is the only thing

that could have stopped me, and it failed!

Nothing will stand in my way. This world is mine!

Now that Kami has been captured,

Goku must face Junior alone.

Can he defeat his deadly opponent

or will he be conquered, as Kami feared?

Find out 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!

G-God lost!

God is...

So, Son Goku!

The time has finally come to settle things!

This time I'll I won't let you away alive!

That'll never happen!

"With the Fate of the World in the Balance!"
