Last Dragon Ball Z Kai...

Danger closed in upon Planet Namek from the skies above–

Frieza's reinforcements!

And with time running out, Krillin, Vegeta, and Gohan forged an uneasy alliance.

Elsewhere, Frieza stood by, as his most elite team of warriors made their grand entrance.

We are the Ginyu Force!

First Up for the Ginyu Force!

Guldo's Time Freeze!

Ah, yes, well done Ginyus...

A pleasure to see you, as always.

Thank you, Lord Frieza. We always aim to please...

I assume you have a special mission in mind for us?

That traitor Vegeta has stolen and run off with

the Dragon Balls that I've been working ever so hard to collect.

Your "mission," is to find him, subdue him, and then bring him to me.

Then we'll see if I can't "persuade" him to tell me where he's hidden them.

Ah, well if that's all it is, it's as good as done.

Our Scouters are already tracking his location.

He's actually on the move not too far from here.

And in a hurry from the looks of it.

Is there something wrong?

It seems Vegeta's not traveling alone...

He has two others with him, both with fairly substantial power levels...

Really...?

Ah... it must be those same little pests who interfered with us before..

So they have been working together all this time.

What do we do with them?

I don't care. Have fun.

As you wish... They should make good sport for my men.

Lord Frieza, we brought those new top-of-the-line Scouters you ask for...

Good. Excellent work.

It's Showtime, men!

Hut-hut-hut! Ready...?

Hut-hut-hut-hut-hut-hut-hut! Let's go!

Ginyu! Force!

Yeah!

The Ginyus are on the move...

And they're gaining...! Hurry! There's no time!

Now beginning final approach to Planet Namek...

Touchdown in 20 minutes.

It was nice of King Kai to send me some new clothes,

but he didn't need to send this many!

So... there's someone even stronger than Vegeta down there...

Hang on, guys... I'm coming.

Ten more minutes.

Strange, though... I don't feel scared or nervous...

If anything, I'm perfectly calm...

I know what's waiting for me, but still I feel...

I feel nothing.

Maybe training in all that intense gravity knocked a screw loose or something.

They're right down there!

Now they're mine!

Hello, Vegeta.

Hi, mate.

Long time no see.

Damn it...! A few more steps and we were there!

I don't suppose that would be a Dragon Ball you're holding there?

An' lookee here... We got five more just like it.

Seems we've made quite the score.

Frieza should be pleased...

The idea is to collect seven of these things, is that right...?

So, we've got five, you've got two...

I'm no mathematician, but I'd say that adds up nicely.

You are a genius.

Vegeta wasn't kidding–

I wouldn't last two seconds against these guys!

Their power's incredible!

This guy in front–

his power makes the rest of 'em seem like kittens!

What...! You think I'm just going to hand this over?

Forget it!

Well, this one doesn't seem like he's all that tough, at least.

So, how'd he get mixed in with the rest of these brutes?

Stay back...! I can't handle your stench.

Why you–!

Don't try and get greedy on us, Guldo...

I don't think we ever decided this was your kill, now did we?

Look, Vegeta, just give us the ball...

We're still gonna kill ya no matter what you do, so how 'bout it...?

Be a sport.

Question...! These fancy new Scouters of yours,

they aren't equipped to track Dragon Balls, are they?

What if they're not?

Then you lose!

Welcome back.

Miss me?

Wha–?

H-How can... anyone be that fast?

I suppose you thought you were being clever...?

I guess you forgot...

When it comes to raw speed, Burter is the fastest in the universe.

Now then... The other one.

Destroy it!

Wait, where'd it go?

What the–?

So, it seems the rumors are true after all.

What are you talking about? What rumors?

That fat little blob...

Somehow, he has the power to slow down or stop time at will!

But that's... impossible.

Don't be so sure there, buddy.

Now that we've got that business out of the way...

I say it's time we had some fun...

Let's show our friends here a good time.

And when he says "a good time"...

he doesn't mean we're gonna play dress-up and braid each others hair... uh-uh...

He means we're gonna murder you!

Did you really need to explain that!

So what now...? Are we really gonna fight these guys?

I think you've already seen that we can't outrun them...

It's best that we all stand together.

From what I saw of you abilities on Earth,

I doubt the two of you will be worth much.

But it's better than nothing.

I'll take Vegeta myself...

The rest of you can do rock-paper-scissors or something

to figure out who gets the two little ones.

– Aw please, – Be real Captain, you gotta be kidding!

– that's so dumb! – We always get stuck with the little guys. It's not fair!

You took all the good kills last time, too!

C'mon, it's our turn to have some fun!

Fine... Fair is fair... In that case...

I'll take the Dragon Balls back to Lord Frieza, and explain the situation...

You boys can sort the rest out on your own.

Woo-hoo! All right!

Who's the greatest captain in the universe?

You...! Ginyu rules!

Okay, then the winner will get Vegeta...

And for second place...

The rest... Make 'em a set.

Good... let's go.

Ginyus ready!

Rock, paper, scissors!

Tie! Go again...!

Are you sure we shouldn't try to run away now?

Tie! Go again...!

Yeah! I win! I get Vegeta!

And I get the runts.

Oh well... It's better than nothing though, right?

Tell ya what, Guldo...

Once I've had my fun, you can finish 'em off.

Now if you'll excuse me,

Lord Frieza has a date with immortality.

No...! I won't let you have 'em!

Calm down...! You can't afford to waste your energy...

Let him go for now, and focus on beating these goons.

We have to get past them before anything else.

You... Come here a minute.

Aw, look... They're makin' a plan.

Don't let Guldo's ridiculous looks fool you...

He lacks power, but his psychic abilities will make him dangerous.

So keep your guard up.

Right.

Now, is it true that you came to this planet on your own?

Kakarot didn't come with you?

No, just us... But he is on his way. He'll be here soon.

Soon isn't good enough...! We need him here now...!

As much as I can't stand him, having him with us would help even the odds.

Why'd we ever come to this planet?

Nothing's gone the way we thought it would.

We couldn't get the Dragon Balls,

and now some bad guy's about to get eternal life...!

We can't just let 'em win, can we?

So who's first... Here, Guldo, why don't you take the honors?

Right... You just want me to clear out the runts so the big boys can play...

Some honor. Thanks buddy.

Quit messing around, and let's get this over with!

Hey, Gohan...

You remember that image training we did back on the spaceship?

Yeah... I'm with you.

Aww, well...

This should at least be fun for a second or two, I guess...

Okay. Ready?

Fire it up! Now!

Uh... What just happened?

You wish.

Freeze!

Lousy punks... They're gone!

W-Where are they...?

Ha...! Now I see them! Over there!

They got pretty far. Quick little buggers.

Okay, now I just...

D-Damn it... I'm running out of breath...!

Well, whadda ya know 'bout that...

Guess they've got some fight in 'em after all.

Yeah... They're reading much higher now...

Looks like they can raise and lower their power levels without transforming.

What a weird species.

You got some freaky little friends there, huh, Vegeta?

Unbelievable... Their speed and power are worlds beyond

what they were when I fought them back on Earth... but...

Nice moves, Gohan... Wow...

It's like you're just getting stronger by the minute there, aren't ya?

Well, I don't know about that,

but the power-up I got from the Grand Elder sure did help!

Still though...

I'm not as fast as this guy–he's way over there!

Yeah, he must've done that time-stop thing...

Let's go again!

Right!

Th-They disappeared!

Stop!

Time Freeze!

Gah! They were right on top of me, damn it!

Wait a second. Why in the heck am I running?

I can take care of both of 'em right now–

starting with that brat kid!

Oh crap!

Over there!

Ka... me... ha... me... ha!

We missed...! Damn it, we almost had him that time!

C'mon, get it together, Guldo!

Stop messing around...!

For real, you're starting to make us look bad!

Yeah...! He's Right...! You stink...!

If you can't beat these little pests

then we're gonna have to give some serious thought to kickin' you off the team!

At the very least, we'll make you sit at the kiddie table for lunch!

W-Wait...! They caught me by surprise, that's all...!

But now that I know their moves, I'm gonna finish 'em both off, right now!

There... He's distracted... Now's our chance, Gohan!

Right!

Whoa! Here they come!

Shaa...! Time to bust out my secret weapon!

W-What happened? Why'd we stop?

I can't move! It's like I'm frozen!

That's my Paralysis Spell...!

You're not gonna move 'til I decide to let you go.

Looks like all that fire you had before just went out...

Whoop-see!

Guldo must really be feelin' the pressure if he's bustin' out the big guns...

He hardly ever uses his paralysis trick unless he gets in trouble.

And against these little wimps, no doubt.

Now I'm gonna show you what happens when you embarrass me in front of the boys.

Uh-oh! Here comes a big ol' scary stick!

You better move out of the way or you're gonna get skewered!

C'mon hurry–it's getting closer!

Idiots... What were they thinking?

Even after I told them how dangerous Guldo's psychic powers were...

they still went charging in like fools!

Hey...! What's the matter...? Do something...!

It's not even moving fast–

are you really gonna let it get you? How embarrassing!

Oh, what's that you say...? You still can't move...?

Aww... Then I guess one of you's just gonna get stuck–

how 'bout you in the orange jumpsuit...

I'll think of something even more ridiculous to finish the kid.

Hey Gohan... If you're gonna break loose, now'd be the time!

Sorry, I can't...! My whole body's still frozen stiff!

Here it comes!

Whoa! Close one!

Damn it, Vegeta. No fair!

This... This was supposed to be a fight between me and those runts. Just us!

I believe those were your rules. I never agreed to follow them.

All is fair in war, Guldo. You should know that by now.

Never would I have guessed I'd go down like this...

not in a million years. Killed by a damn Saiyan.

Oh, this really is embarrassing.

Well, you won't have to feel that way for long.

Can't believe I'm saying this but, we owe you one, Vegeta.

Yeah, thanks.

Keep your thanks.

Do you think I care whether the two of you live or die?

I saw an opportunity to strike, and I took it.

It's that simple. Saving you had nothing to do with it.

Now, pull yourselves together... This isn't over...

and we won't get lucky a second time.

What the hell? You seein' this?

Damn Guldo went and got himself killed!

Whoa... This is bad!

Yeah, right, without Guldo...

that means our trademark Ginyu Force fighting pose is gonna be all outta whack!

Recoome!

Burter!

Jeice!

We are the Ginyu Force!

Yup... I knew it, the balance is all off...

The Captain's not gonna be happy about this...

We worked real hard on that pose...

Now he's gonna have to come up with a new one!

That's later...!

Right now, we need to pick who's gonna step in for Guldo

and finish off these little runts.

I still got Vegeta.

All right, Jeice! You n' me! Rock-paper-scissors!

You're on!

And... go!

Rock, paper, scissors! Tie! Go again...! Tie! Go again...!

Crazy... What's with these guys...?

It's all just one big game to them.

Yeah, I think that's the part that scares me most of all.

Tie! Go again...!

I have a feeling the real hell is about to begin.

Goku's arrival on Namek is but moments away.

However, waiting for him on the planet below is an enemy unlike any other–

Frieza, the most ruthless tyrant the universe has ever known.

Elsewhere, Krillin and Gohan prepare for the fight of their lives.

Can they withstand the onslaught of Burter, Jeice, and Recoome?

Their struggle continues, next Dragon Ball Z Kai!

Hey, it's me, Goku!

Sorry to keep you waiting, guys.

Just hold on a few more minutes and I'll be there.

This Recoome guy is a real monster!

I don't even know if Vegeta can stand up to him!

You can do it, Vegeta!

Don't let him beat you! You show that big bully who's boss!

Next time on Dragon Ball Z Kai:

What is with these Ginyu creeps?

They're totally insane!

The Nightmare Recoome!

Come Out and Play, Vegeta!
