Dragon Ball (ドラゴンボール)

Last time on Dragon Ball,

a damaged, but determined Goku,

summoned one, last powerful punch,

and put a super sized hole in Piccolo!

-- --

This daring attack sealed Piccolo's fate for good.

I won!

But Piccolo wasn't about to lose the battle

and just walk away.

He had something special to leave behind for planet Earth.

Good luck, my son.

Get revenge for my demise. Destroy all of my enemies.

The defeated demon went out with a bang,

and sent Goku into a tailspin.

Luckily, Yajirobe was there to catch him before he hit

the ground. The battle was over,

but Goku soon learned that his dearest friends

had become victims of Piccolo's madness.

What about Master Roshi?

Is it true he's gone?

Yes, it's true.

And Chaiotzu as well.

The Eternal Dragon?

With no way of summoning the Eternal Dragon,

will Goku be forced to accept the loss of his closest friends?

Bye.

See ya!

What, is that--?

-- --

It's a little too quiet here.

Yeah.

I wonder what happened?

I'm not sure.

We'd better move in and get a closer look.

That looked a lot like Goku in that air car that just flew by.

So do you think he beat Piccolo?

Shh. Come on, hurry up.

If he did win, then I wonder what happened to Tien?

-- Shh. --

Is that Tien?

It's really you.

Yes, I'm very happy to see all of you again.

I guess that Piccolo was a pretty tough fighter, wasn't he?

He demolished a whole city by himself.

And you won. Mm.

Good. Almost there.

That's great! So Goku won the battle?

Yeah, you should have seen him.

I've got so much to tell you.

--Hi, T.V. Central? -- Uh-huh.

I just wanna let you know that the battle's over,

and everyone's all right!

Are you serious? It's really over?

That's right! He's been defeated. Piccolo is dead!

But how can that be?

Who in the world is powerful enough to do that?

Well, let's just say good has

won out over evil once again!

That's great, but I need a name to tell the people.

Bye!

Wait! Hello?

Ladies and gentlemen,

Piccolo is gone. He has been defeated!

There's nothing to worry about.

Eastern City, I mean the whole world is safe once again.

Did you hear that? Everything's gonna be all right.

It's over, we are free!

-- --

That's a big 10-4, Piccolo is no more!

The battle is finally over. We're free! Over.

Copy that! I'll meet you back at headquarters.

Over and out!

Without Piccolo around,

I can concentrate on all the other bad guys around town.

-- --

You're just in time! I decided to turn over a new leaf anyway.

Congratulations on behalf of everyone, my king.

Thanks, but I believe we owe everything to that little boy.

Hurray for Goku.

Thanks to him, the world is safe again.

Mm. That's right.

He won!

Hear that? It must mean Goku won.

Great! Thatta boy!

It's time to wake up, Goku. We made it.

We're at Master Korin's place.

Good to see you alive, Goku. Nice work.

Master, I need your help. Please, help me.

Hey, kiddo, don't worry about it.

I'll take care of all your wounds

until you are as good as new.

Uh? It's not that. Uh...

Huh?

I'm hungry.

No way! You mean he was really that powerful out there?

It's true, even I'm no match for him anymore.

As far as I can tell,

he must be the most powerful guy in history.

I bet Krillin would have somethin' to say about that,

if he were here now.

I'm sure he'd be jealous. Ya think?

That's 'cause he and Goku were

always trying to out do each other.

Outgrow each other?

-- Huh? -- Uh...

You know, I sure wish the dragon were around.

Without him,

those Dragon Balls are nothing more than worthless stones.

Uh?

Oh no, it's a giant egg!

Come on, I don't have all day.

We interrupt our regular programming,

to bring you a special presentation of our

award winning docudrama called,

"How the Mysterious Boy Defeated Piccolo."

Catchy title, huh? Enjoy!

Oh no, Jebediah! Help!

Help me. Ah!

--What's all the racket about? --

Come on, the whole world is at peace now.

Is it too much to get a little peace in my own home?

It was the biggest egg I'd ever seen. Huge!

I thought it was going to get me,

like a big fish floating by with nowhere to go.

A big egg?

Is it a dinosaur egg?

Yeah, it might be.

Oh! Maybe it could be a child.

You know, like a gift from the heavens or somethin'?

You're kidding?

I'd almost bet on it, my dear.

Then, crack it open.

Then go get my club. Hurry up!

Mm-hm.

Look at me!

I'm cured! Ha! Yeah, I feel great! I'm good! I'm great!

And a- one, two, three...

Those Senzu Beans really did the trick, huh?

I'm beginning to understand how

you were able to beat Piccolo on your own.

The way you've recovered from your injuries

is truly remarkable, Goku.

Master Korin, didn't you let Piccolo go because you were

afraid you'd lose to him if you fought him yourself?

Uh... I, uh...

Well, to be completely honest,

I thought the odds would be better if Goku fought Piccolo

instead of me.

I'm glad things turned out the way they did, though.

You fought an impressive battle.

You really should be happy to be alive.

Wow.

What else could I do?

Goku was our only hope,

and if he lost the fight that would mean it'd be up to me

to take care of things.

Mm?

It was all part of my plan.

Someone had to be around to collect all the Dragon Balls.

My boy, had you of lost, I'da revived you,

as well as everyone else destroyed by Piccolo.

So Master Korin, you knew about the Dragon Balls the whole time?

Of course I did. You see, I know everything.

Then I guess it's no big secret

if I tell you the Eternal Dragon was killed by Piccolo?

What did you say?

No, really? The Eternal Dragon is no more?

Oh, no. I never thought Piccolo was strong enough

to do something like that.

It's not fair!

If the Eternal Dragon was alive today,

he could bring everyone back to life.

There's nothing you can do about it, Goku. Just let it go.

People are always getting into trouble all the time.

It can't be stopped. That's just the way it is.

Mm-hm.

Yes, it's quite correct, but don't forget,

those people who were attacked by Piccolo

must spend eternity all alone,

and will never be able to rest in peace.

It's true. There is no way for them to go to the other world

because their lifeless bodies float in limbo.

The poor souls'll be lost forever,
