"The Magical Fire-Eating Bird"

Well?

Hold on...

Come on!

Aha! Here we are!

So the rumors were true after all.

Gyumao-sama!

Is there any chance of putting it out?

Heck no!

Nobody could put this monster of a fire out!

Hi! It's been a while!

Let me see...

Who might you be again?

It's me!

Don't tell me you've forgotten?

Goku-san! What a fine young man you've become!

How've you been, Urigome (blockhead)? !

It's Umigame.

And who might this be?

I'm Son Goku's wife.

Wife?

Is the old timer around?

The Turtle Hermit?

He hasn't returned from the Tenkaichi Tournament yet.

Eh?

Oh, that's right...

The tournament just ended a short while ago...

And they don't have a Kinto Un of their own...

So it'll take a while for them all to get home...

Do you need the Turtle Hermit to help you with something?

We want the Basho Fan.

The one that he threw away after using it as a pot stand?

I doubt we could ever find it now...

That was several hundreds years ago, after all.

That's not what we're here for, though.

We're going to make a Basho Fan.

Eh? Make one?

We heard there's an old book that tells how to make one!

If you're looking for old books, there are several in the back of the closet.

Hurry! Show us!

Certainly. No problem at all.

Come on, Urigome-san! Hurry up!

My name is Umigame...

Let's go!

Here we are!

The Turtle Hermit Style

Basho Fan... Basho Fan...

Let's see...

Oh! Here it is!

One swing of this mighty fan will cause a heavy gale,

two swings will summon the thunderclouds,

and three swings will bring down a torrential rain!

It is made of the feathers of the magical Fire-Eating Bird,

which dwells inside the crater of Mt. Kiwi, at the southern end of the world.

The Fire-Eating Bird?

As its name implies, it's a bird that consumes fire.

That's it!

Are you cold?

No, your back is nice and warm.

Is that it?

I think it might be.

It's so hot... !

Watch your step, Chichi!

A bird that lives by eating fire? How weird...

Isn't it just a fairy tale, though?

Dunno.

But we don't have any other clues, so...

What is it?

Don't you hear it, Chichi?

W-what's that sound?

The Fire-Eating Bird... !

I-it's getting closer!

Be careful! It's dark in... !

Don't move, Chichi!

Sorry for waking you up!

Good thing we chose to do this in the morning!

But who do you suppose they are?

They're probably looking for the bird too.

We better look sharp.

They might've already found it!

Let's hurry!

It's okay...

Sorry we woke you up!

Huh?

Stop!

That was close...

Chichi!

Goku!

Are you okay?

I- I'm fine...

But...

What is it?

W-what is this? !

What's the matter? !

What a humungous egg!

It might be that Fire-Eating Bird's egg... !

Stop right there!

Don't touch that egg!

Goku! Hurry up!

Is this the Fire-Eating Bird's egg, Mister?

That's right.

Who are you two? !

I'm Son Goku!

I'm his wife!

We're looking for the Fire-Eating Bird.

Where's the mother bird?

There isn't one.

It died. A long time ago.

40 years ago, this mountain exploded in a violent eruption,

during which the Fire-Eating Bird died when it was crushed by a boulder.

The legendary Fire-Eating Bird no longer exists in this world.

All that remains is that single egg.

It's amazing that it was able to stay alive these past 40 years...

The heat of this volcano kept the frail creature alive.

It's a miracle of Mother Nature!

When will it turn into a chick? !

I haven't the slightest.

I'm not even sure it will hatch at all.

We're back to square one, then...

Let's go back and see Fortuneteller Baba.

Who are you? !

We're here for the egg.

What? !

We're extremely grateful that you found the egg for us!

Sorry, but we'll be taking it now.

Huh? Aren't they...

What foolishness is this? ! Who would give you anything? !

Save your big talk until after you've seen him!

The man whose face strikes fear in the hearts of even the worst of evildoers!

Robbery! Tattle-telling! Speeding!

Blackmail! Stealing other people's food!

He'll do anything if it's for money!

His name: Mister Pilaf Daimao!

H-he's...

You know him?

What a beautiful egg!

Beautiful because it's the only one in the world!

I could sell this to an obsessed fan for 100 million Zeni!

And with that much, world domination will finally be more than a pipe dream!

That's right!

You're all mine!

Keep your filthy hands off of it!

Whaaat?

You!

Right.

Hey, you, girl. Come over here.

I'll have you know I'm someone's wife!

Come on! Just do it!

Aha! Tricked you!

Hand over the egg if you want her to live!

Wow! What a cute hat!

You look like a baby!

Think I'm bluffing? !

I'll do it if I have to!

I'm serious!

I could swear we've seen him somewhere before...

Yeah, I was just thinking the same thing...

Hey, what's his name?

Goku. Son Goku.

Son Goku?

Son Goku, huh?

Son Goku? !

Shuu! Mai!

Put the girl in a world of pain!

H-h-help... !

Oh no you don't!

Darn it!

N-now I remember!

Y-you're Son Goku... !

Pilaf-sama!

Well, don't give up, Mister!

You too.

I hope it hatches.

An eruption?

Oh no... !

It's the...

It couldn't be... !

Am I dreaming? The Fire-Eating Bird is still alive... !

That's the Fire-Eating Bird?

It wasn't dead after all!

Watch out!

We have to get out of here!

If you're hungry then eat more!

Good for you, your child's still alive!

We have to leave too!

Kamehameha!

Goku! The feathers!

Kin... ! Huh?

Look!

Feathers!

Hurray!

What does it mean?

These can put out the fire?

What are you doing?

I heard we could make a Basho Fan out of the Fire-Eating Bird's feathers...

A Basho Fan?

Ah, you mean that powerful fan?

That story you heard was just a bunch of nonsense.

The Fire-Eating Bird would run out of food

if its feathers could put out fires...

Then that book was...

...obviously pure nonsense, you moron!

I was drunk when I wrote that crap!

I guess we really are back at square one...

The Basho Fan, eh?

Hold on, I once heard where it was.

Really? !

Yes.

I've heard that to the north of here there's this place called Ice Mountain,

which even the Fire-Eating Bird is too scared to get near...

Thanks!

Let's go, Chichi!

Or was it to the west?

Without even a single moment to feel disappointed,

Goku and Chichi have taken to the sky again

after catching wind of a new clue!

Will the Basho Fan really be there? !
