"Mt. Frypan Ablaze! A Deadly Split-Second Decision"

Damn it!

No matter what happens, I must protect this wedding gown

until Chichi gets the chance to put it on!

Chichi!

Old man Gyumao'll burn to death if we don't put the fire out!

Please! Save him!

Annin-sama...

You think saving one life is more important than the fate of this world?

I don't know anything about that!

Goku! How can you talk like that? !

Come on! Tell me how I can put the Eightfold Furnace's fire out!

This is good. Want a bite?

Get that outta my face!

Goku! How rude of you... !

- Please forgive him, Annin-sama... - Please forgive him.

Chichi! There's no reason to apologize!

What's the big idea? !

Goku-san!

Well, well, well...

Looks like you're a pretty energetic boy.

If you want to put the Eightfold Furnace fire out that badly,

then try turning that handle to the right as far as you can!

Then the fire'll go out!

A- Annin-sama!

- OK, then! - Goku!

Goku! Stop!

Goku!

Grandpa, let go!

No! Terrible things will happen if you put the fire out!

Stop!

Grandpa! Let go of me!

I can't!

Grandpa!

Gohan-chan!

Go have a look at the pan on the Eightfold Furnace!

Goku!

Goku! Are you all right? !

Yeah.

Well? There was a lot of steam coming up from the pan, right?

Yeah.

That steam turns into mist and rises out of the summit of Mt. Gogyo.

That mist is the problem.

The mist?

Putting out the Eightfold Furnace's fire would leave us without any mist.

What's that got to do with anything?

Goku.

That mist actually serves as the entryway connecting this world to the next.

Everyone who dies in this world goes to the next one through it.

During certain spiritual holidays, when the inhabitants of the other world

return to the homes of their descendants,

they always use the mist to come and go between the two worlds!

If the fire goes out and the mist disappears,

the souls of the departed will be unable to journey to the next world,

and the souls that returned to this world will be unable to go back.

Unable to die peacefully, all the spirits will be left to wander aimlessly.

The dead will rise from Hell and this world will be thrown into chaos!

In that case, Annin-sama...

Do you think you could put the fire out for just a little bit?

Short enough that the steam won't disappear?

No way.

Why not? !

If the fire goes out, it will take at least 2000 years to get it going again!

During that period, a horrific age of darkness would descend upon the world.

You don't want that, do you?

So there's no way to put out the fire caused by the Eightfold Furnace?

I beg you!

Isn't there anything you can do?

There is something I can do...

Just as I thought!

Annin-sama!

Goku! What are you thinking? !

Annin-sama has been the Pyre Keeper

and caretaker of the Eightfold Furnace for tens of thousands of years!

Tens of thousands of years? !

That makes her an old lady then...

Now you've done it!

You just said something you shouldn't have!

What are Goku and Chichi doing? !

It's now only a matter of time until the tower crumbles away!

The villagers...

V-villagers! Up here!

It's Gyumao-sama!

He certainly doesn't give up easily.

But now it's only a matter of time...

Goku! What are you doing? !

How about this? !

Goku-san...

Dammit...

Two can play at that game!

I-it can't be... !

Is that the Basho Fan? !

That's right.

Want me to use it again? !

G- Goku-san!

Girl! There is a way to save your old man without putting the fire out!

Goku-san!

The Basho Fan alone can't put out the Eightfold Furnace's fire.

What we need is something that can cover up the hole

that formed at the bottom of the Eightfold Furnace.

Like what?

I'll go get it right away!

They're not very easily obtained items, unfortunately.

Not very easily obtained?

What are they? !

The bottom of the Eightfold Furnace is made out of egg shell fragments

of a bird known as the Fire-Eating Bird.

The Fire-Eating Bird?

And to firmly keep the egg shell fragment in place over the hole,

we'd need some honey made by bees that live in octagonal beehives.

Chichi!

I have them both!

Chichi! Great job!

You have them both?

These, right?

That's all we need!

Goku-san!

It's still too early to get excited!

We might not even have one chance in a million of succeeding.

One chance in a million? !

If you fail, you will most certainly die!

I'll give it a shot! What do I do?

Goku. You, if anyone, may be able to pull it off.

While I lift the Eightfold Furnace pan slightly off the fire,

you get inside the Eightfold Furnace and patch the hole!

Inside the Eightfold Furnace?

B-but Annin-sama... !

The inside of the furnace is a sea of scorching flames!

Not even Goku could withstand them... !

This is insanity!

That's where the Basho Fan comes in.

I see!

Listen carefully.

Swing the Basho Fan once from above the Eightfold Furnace,

thereby splitting the flames into two sections and creating a straight path.

Go down the path and patch up the hole at the bottom of the furnace.

But you'll only have but a few seconds to do it in.

Goku.

Can you bet your whole life against that one moment?

I'll give it a try!

Goku. The Eightfold Furnace is large in size!

It doesn't look like much, but a tall mountain could easily fit within it!

Are you sure you're ready for this?

How I wished I could've given this wedding gown to Chichi to put on...

Good luck, Goku!

Be careful!

Goku. The bottom of the Eightfold Furnace is shaped like a bowl.

So if there were a hole inside it, it would be at the very center.

There's no doubt that the liquid that has spilled out over all these millennia

has caused the hole at the bottom of the Eightfold Furnace to form!

Gyumao-sama!

Gyumao! If you're alive, say something!

Chichi...

Here we go, Goku!

A single second will determine success or failure!

The bottom of the Eightfold Furnace!

Dang! Where is it? !

Goku-san...

Gyumao!

Right here!

The fire's out... !

Oh my! Did Goku really do it? !

Coming back up!

Damn...

Am I gonna make it in time? !

Goku! Y-you better hurry... !

Damn, I'm not gonna make it!

Extend, Nyoibou!

Dammit! Am I gonna make it? !

He's not going to make it!

G- Goku... !

I made it!

Goku-san!

Goku-san! I'm so glad you're alive!

I was really worried there for a minute!

Does this mean the fire at the castle is out? !

Thank you, Goku!

Sorry for the trouble, Chichi.

As the caretaker of the Eightfold Furnace, I sincerely apologize!

Goku! This was your first ordeal as husband and wife!

Live in happiness!

You too, Grandpa!

Live happily together with Annin-sama!

Gyumao-sama! Are you all right? !

Gyumao!

Gyumao... !

Gyumao!

As you can see, the dress is perfectly unharmed!

You lunkhead!

Dad!

Chichi! Goku!

They truly did spectacularly!

Thank you for being here today to celebrate our wedding!

I will definitely live in happiness!

Chichi... You're so beautiful...

Just as beautiful as your mother was...

Dad.

Thank you for the wedding dress.

I'll never forget this!

Goku. Take good care of Chichi.

Yes.

Goku-san!

Goku's and Chichi's wedding has ended without incident.

Do days of happiness lie in wait for the two?

In honor of the wedding, I'll look into the future for you and see!

Let me see here...

The next story takes place a full 5 years from now!
