Last time on Dragon Ball...

Fortuneteller Baba told Goku and ChiChi of a magical furnace

that could extinguish the mysterious flames

surrounding the Ox King's castle.

Desperate, the brave pair set out on their new quest,

which led them to the treacherous Mount Five Elements.

After navigating their way through perilous terrain

and lethal obstacles, Goku and his fianceé

finally locate the magical furnace and much more.

I... guess we found it.

Goku was shocked to find

his deceased grandfather, Gohan.

The young hero's surprise turned to dismay

upon learning Gohan now served the caretaker

of the magical furnace.

Despite their urgent pleas,

Annin was unwilling to shut down the raging furnace.

In theory, if the magical fire were extinguished,

the plains of existence would be thrown into utter chaos.

Actually, it sounds like fun.

Annin, please!

You must help.

Grandpa!

Mm-mm. Mm-mm.

I'm sorry. The flames cannot be put out, for you, or anyone.

Now, think about it.

You wouldn't want to be responsible

for the world's greatest disaster, would you?

And now, the conclusion.

Mount Frypan Ablaze !

A Deadly Split- Second Decision

Mount Frypan Ablaze !

A Deadly Split- Second Decision

"The End, The Beginning"

Do your worst flames! Rise as high as you wish.

I will not meet defeat before I see my daughter

in her wedding dress!

I will keep it safe... no matter what!

You can't ignore this. Unless the fire is put out,

it will destroy the Ox King!

I beg you! Please save my father.

Hmm.

Annin?

Gohan, please...think about what you're asking.

You would have me sacrifice this entire world

to save but one life?

I guess I'm just not as ready to give up yet!

Goku, that's enough! Watch your mouth!

Mhm... mhm.

Fine, I'll do it myself! Now tell me how to put out the fire!

These noodles are delicious. Here, try some.

I'm not hungry!

Goku, that was extremely rude!

Annin, he begs for your forgiveness.

I'm so sorry.

ChiChi, you don't have to apologize.

What was that for?!

Goku, stop!

Your gums are showing. Are you this rude to everyone,

or just to the people from whom you're seeking help?

If you wanna put out the fire so badly,

I suggest you turn that handle over there.

Turn to the right.

Annin, please!

Wait!

Goku... wait! Stop it!

Goku!

Grandpa, let go!

No, I won't let you do this!

If the flames go out, something terrible will happen!

I have to do this, Grandpa!

You don't know what you're doing!

Let go!

Gohan!

Let me give you a lift.

Enjoy the furnace!

Goku!

Are you all right?

Nice trip? Did you get a good look at the steam

coming up from the furnace?

Yeah.

That steam turns into fog,

which covers the top of Mt. Five Elements.

That fog is what I believe to be the problem.

Uh? Fog?

That's right, dear. Fire makes steam, steam becomes fog.

Take away the fire, and surprise, no more fog.

What's so... bad about that?

Calm down and listen.

The fog is the only way in and out of the path

that runs between this world and the next.

When a person's life is over, they pass into the Other World.

However, on the date of their passing,

or during a special festival, they can return to this world

and meet their descendants.

This journey can only take place through the fog.

Without it, the gateway would be sealed forever.

Losing the fog would not only inhibit spirits

from traveling to this world, but those that are already here

would be trapped for all eternity.

That would include the evil ones.

Eventually, the dark spirits would overrun the Earth

and destroy everything.

This is not just a theory.

It will come to pass...

...should I allow you to turn off the furnace.

What if the furnace were only turned off for a short time?

Long enough to put out the fire around my father's castle,

but without dissipating the fog completely?

Won't work.

What do you mean?

Because, if the magical fire goes out just once,

it would take 200 years to re-ignite.

In the meantime, this world would grow cold and dark.

Evil would take hold, and I can promise you,

it won't give up its stranglehold for tender mercy!

Isn't there any way to put out the fire

that threatens my father?

Please! I beg of you. Don't let my father die!

There is a way, but...

Really?

Hmm.

Round two!

Huh?

Ah.

Oh, Annin!

Goku, how could you be so disrespectful?

This lady is Tajoro! She has been the caretaker

of the magical furnace for over ten thousand years!

Ten thousand years?

You're not old! You're ancient.

Child! How dare you insult me! You're in my world now!

Sire! Abandon the castle! Hurry!

Sire! Hurry! Get out! Save yourself!

What's taking Goku so long?

Very soon, there won't be any king or kingdom to save.

Oh... the villagers.

I'm okay! I'm right here!

Wait!

I see him there!

Three cheers for the Ox King! Hip-hip-hooray!

He's tough. I'll give him that.

But this is a question of time, and his is running out.

What is Goku doing?

Stay still!

Goku!

Well, if you think that's something, try this!

N-No, it can't be!

Uh?

The Bansho Fan!

That's right. Should I wave it again?

Goku, no!

Listen, I think I know of a way to save your father

without extinguishing the fire!

Goku!

The Bansho Fan cannot put out the fire alone.

We need something to fill the hole

in the bottom of the furnace.

What do you need? Tell me and I'll go get it.

Be warned. What I need won't be that easy to get.

Don't worry. I can handle it.

What is it?

The bottom of the furnace is made

of the octagon-shaped eggshells from the fire-eater bird.

Fire-eater bird?

Not only do we need egg shells to fill in the hole,

but we need honey from bees that live

in octagon-shaped honeycombs to hold the shells in place.

–Well... –Uh. Wait!

I have what we need.

ChiChi, you're incredible!

You have both of them?

Will these do?

Good enough, dear.

Goku.

Save your happiness.

Uh?

The chance that our plan will actually succeed

is slim to say the least.

I do not plan on failing.

The only thing that is certain,

is if you fail, you will die.

We must try. Go on.

Hmm.

Goku, in ten thousand years

I've never met as brave a heart as yours.

Very well. I will lift the pot,

while you go into the furnace and fill the hole.

Okay, let's do it.

Annin, I beg you to reconsider.

You know as well as I that inside the furnace

is the sea of fire. Not even Goku could survive in there.

This plan is folly.

But your grandson has the Bansho Fan.

I understand.

Listen. You have a chance, but the danger is immeasurable.

From over the furnace, you must wave the fan once.

This will part the flames and create a path.

Follow along this path until you reach the hole,

fill it in, and get out. The time allowed for all of this is

as short as the blink of an eye.

Goku, the rest of your life hinges on this moment.

I will succeed.

Goku, the furnace is gigantic.

It's as large as a mountain on the inside.

Are you sure you're up to this task? Are you ready?

Hmm.

ChiChi will make a beautiful bride.

I would have loved to see my little girl

in her mother's dress.

Gook luck, Goku, my boy.

Please be careful!

Goku, Gohan's description of the furnace is not exaggerated.

However, the furnace is even more ancient than I am.

Should some chemical flowing from the pot

have eroded more than one hole,

you will not have enough supplies to fix the damage.

Hmm.

Ox King, can you hear me?

Answer my call if you're still alive.

ChiChi.

Good or bad, this will all be over in a moment.

Heyah!

Ah!

I've reached the bottom!

Uh?

Where is it?

Goku.

Ox King.

Are you there?

That's it!

Goku, please! Time is running out!

I'm coming, ChiChi!

Uh oh, not much time left. Focus!

Gohan, we don't have any more time!

Bad news. I'm running out of time.

Uh?

Power Pole, extend!

Come on, work! I have to make it!

If he's not back by now, he's finished.

Goku, please.

He made it!

You made it back in one piece! You're safe now!

How did it go? Did you fix the furnace?

Mm-hm.

Well done, Goku.

As the caretaker of the furnace,

I would like to extend my deepest gratitude.

This is the first job you've completed as a couple.

Judging by its success, you should be very happy together.

Hm. You too, Grandpa.

Have a happy life with Annin.

Well...

I'd hate to be on the clean-up crew.

Ohh no, Ox King!

I saved it! The dress didn't get a scratch!

You scared me!

Father!

Oh?

ChiChi! Goku!

Something good did come of this. I think I got a tan!

Thank you!

Thank you all for joining us

on this day I've been waiting for my whole life.

I'm so glad my father's here to see it.

You look... beautiful. Your mother would be so proud.

You were right about this dress. It's perfect.

I can't imagine this day without it.

Goku, welcome to the family.

Hm.

Goku and ChiChi's wedding ceremony

ends in joyful bliss for one and all.

But what future lies ahead for the newlyweds?

The future? Well, it couldn't hurt to take a peek!

Mm... mmm... mm.

Ohh.
