After seizing control of King Castle, Piccolo Daimao finally became king.

Meanwhile, Tenshinhan, burning with desire to defeat Piccolo,

mastered the Mafuba by himself.

I did it...!

It's flawless!

I'm coming for you, Piccolo!

Also, Goku drank the Super Spirit Water

and unlocked unknown strength after undergoing intense pain.

Power... I'm overflowing with power...

However, at exactly the same time,

Piccolo Daimao announced his horrific new policies on television.

Criminals! Do whatever you want to do!

We Mazoku will eliminate all who cling to the idea of "justice"!

What followed was widespread robbery, murder, and violence...

The world was on its way to becoming a living hell.

"Tenshinhan's Resolve!!"

Hey, another special news report is coming on!

Now then, my beloved citizens!

I have even more evil, horrific news for you all!

He just doesn't quit!

Very soon you will all experience an even greater fear of dying!

Fear of dying...?

Pay close attention!

What do I mean by "an even greater fear of dying," you ask?

Do you happen to know just how many sectors the world is divided into?

That's right, 43 sectors.

So I had a lottery box prepared with slips of paper with 1 through 43 written on them.

Today, May 9th, should be celebrated as the day I, Piccolo-sama, took the throne!

Therefore every May 9th will be celebrated as Piccolo Day,

and on that day, a lottery will be held.

And then...

...the sector whose number is chosen...

...will personally be erased by yours truly!

Why, you...!

Don't worry, my explosive energy blasts last for but an instant.

There won't be time to feel any pain.

Why?! Why would you do such a thing?!

You don't know? I merely wish to see the people with fear-ridden faces!

The people's suffering, screams, and moans...!

There isn't anything as satisfying as these!

Damn you!

He's a freak!

But don't worry, the lottery will be held only once a year.

Which means some lucky people will get to live for 43 years...

...while fearing for their lives the entire time, of course!

43 years?! I'd rather die than constantly live in fear!

To those who have any problems with my way of doing things...

Come to King Castle any time you want!

You can even fire your missiles at me, I don't care!

Just know that all who oppose me will find themselves in an early grave!

I'm scared, Dad!

You can beat him up, can't you?

Of course not! It's hopeless!

Even I could never win against Piccolo Daimao...

He's that strong?!

Strong isn't even the right word!

There's no one in this world who could defeat him!

Goku...

Yeah! Goku might be able to beat him for us!

No, not even Goku would stand a chance!

He would, too!

Goku can do it, I just know it!

Do you really think Goku can win?

I don't know.

But the one thing I can say is that if Goku loses to Piccolo, the world's done for.

That's how things stand.

You can't be serious! Damn it...!

In that case, I should eat as much tasty food as I can while I still got the chance!

You can have as many senzu as you want!

Who'd want any of that crap?! I'll have you know I'm a gourmet!

It ain't about just filling stomachs, you know!

You don't say.

So, yeah, give me one of them Kinto'un thingies!

I'm gonna go back down and look for some tasty stuff!

I already said you can't ride them!

You need to have a pure heart if you want to ride on a Kinto'un!

For a wizard, you sure aren't a good judge of character!

To put it bluntly, my heart is even purer than the blue sky itself!

Watch!

Oh, my...

Judging from how he is, I'm sure he won't die.

Father!

Oh, it's him!

Ow...

Hey!

What happened to Goku?!

He left to go fight Piccolo Daimao.

What an idiot...

Goku-san...

Goku...

Okay, then!

Let's celebrate this day by conducting the 1st Annual Lottery.

Damn you!

Soon you'll get a taste of my Mafuba!

So which sector will it be...?

Oh, this is rather close by.

Sector 29...

West City!

I'll be there soon!

You'd best run as far away as you can!

What did he say?! West City?!

That's where Mom and Dad are!

West City? That's great news, Honey!

I'm glad it wasn't where Bulma lives.

That's great news!

Oh, but you know, Honey...

West City, isn't that...?

This is Kame House, respond, Tenshinhan!

Tenshinhan! Please!

Don't let Piccolo go to West City!

My mom and dad are there!

I'm taking him down! Without fail!

Ain't you heard what's goin' on yet?!

What're you doing?!

Can't you move that thing any faster?!

Hey! Piccolo Daimao's coming! This is the end!

What are you doing, Dear?

We need to leave right away!

It'll be just a minute!

I can't find Tama!

Tama!

Tama?

Oh, my...

Tama! Tama!

Oh, there you are!

Tama!

Let's leave together, okay?

So you found Tama by chance! [Tamatama = "by chance"]

What are you saying at a time like this, Dear?

Oh, no! I completely forgot!

I forgot to water the plants this morning!

Oh no! The poor little plants will be so hungry!

Okay, we've got to hurry!

I'll need your help, Honey!

Sure thing.

West City is in an unimaginable panic

and all traffic out of town is at a standstill.

Mom, Dad... I hope you're alright...

Who're you?!

Hand over yer food.

And yer money! All of it!

He asked who you are!

As you can see, we just got outta prison!

Escaped convicts?!

Escaped convicts?

Don't be stupid.

As per Piccolo Daimao's orders, all prisons have been shut down for good!

Which means we're legally free!

The world's turned into such a great place!

Now make with the money and the grub!

Shall I have this here gal pour us some booze?

Keep your filthy hands off me!

Feisty...

That felt good!

Yamcha!

You're dead!

Take this!

Yamcha!

–Yamcha... –Yamcha-sama...

It's hopeless! The world's gone mad!

Goku and everyone else is dead!

And there's no guarantee Tenshinhan'll succeed...

No, I can't sit around here doing nothing just because my leg's not healed!

I'm going, too!

Wait for me, Piccolo!

Wait just a little bit more!

Piccolo-sama, the preparations for your flight have been completed.

Excellent! Let's go to West City!

Time to enjoy the little people's suffering!

There it is!

I made it to King Castle in time!

There you are, Piccolo!

What might this be?

Piccolo! Down there! Now!

You're in for a world of trouble!

Already a fool with no value for life has shown up.

There are quite a few less-than-brainy types like that out there.

Very well. I'll play with him, but just for a little bit.

It will serve as an excellent warning to others!

I'll broadcast his ragged and torn body on television!

So that pathetic flies such as this guy won't come after me!

I see.

Fly faster, Kinto'un!

What's the matter? Are you afraid, Piccolo?!

I have no reason to be afraid.

Come!

Today I'll make an exception and play with you!

Aren't we a little overconfident?

I hope you have fun when the tide suddenly turns against you!

This Denshi Jar will look good in your castle.

Hurry up! West City is waiting to be annihilated!

Oh, you're able to use a levitation technique.

It would seem you've got a little bit of training under your belt.

I need to get a little closer...

But because you possess martial arts skills–

however meager they may be– you will have to be eliminated.

You're getting ahead of yourself.

You haven't won yet.

People these days have no manners at all.

Is that how you speak to your king?

Don't make me laugh!

Who honestly recognizes you as their king?

Just a little more... Five more meters until I can use the Mafuba!

It seems you excel in talking big.

Okay, then. Let me introduce you to my new underling!

After all, there's really no need for me to deal with you personally.

What?

What is this?!

What the...?!

Your name will be Drum.

Show him the strength of Mazoku soldiers!

Monster...

I'll be the one to show you real strength!

He's close!

I'm coming for you, Piccolo!

Will Tenshinhan be able to defeat Piccolo Daimao?!

Hurry, Goku!
