[NARRATOR] On the last episode of Dragonball Z,

the battle between Captain Ginyu,

leader of the Ginyu Force, and Goku began!

[NARRATOR] In an effort to test his own strength,

Captain Ginyu tried to get Goku to reveal his true power,

but the Saiyan would not play Ginyu's game, at first...

Now, let's go!

[NARRATOR] But as Goku increased his power level,

Ginyu began to reconsider his strategy.

Ahh... No way!

[NARRATOR] Does the captain of the Ginyu Force

stand a chance against Goku?

Find out today!

[JEICE thinking] Man o' man!

Now I see what Burtur and I were really up against!

We didn't have a clue!

undred housand! Fighting power one and seventeen

Oh no!

That's only three thousand away from Captain Ginyu's maximum!

[GOKU growling]

What?! Darn! No way! Hey! Hey, stop that!

[GOKU shouting]

[GOKU] Actually, I'm just getting warmed up!

[GINYU] Oh, a wise guy, huh?! Now, let's see here!

What?! One hundred and forty thousand!

No! It can't be!

[GOKU] I think your friend's having a nervous breakdown!

[JEICE] He's just cooling off, mate!

He'll be back!

[GINYU yelling]

[GOKU growling]

One hundred and fifty thousand! Unreal!

[growling continues]

[GOKU shouts]

Jeice! Look out!

[GINYU grunts]

[JEICE] Whoa!

[GINYU laughs]

[GINYU gasps]

Here! Try these on for size!

[JEICE] Watch it!

[JEICE] Captain! I think it'd be wise if we left and got Frieza!

[GINYU] Shut up, Jeice, I'm in charge here!

[GOKU yells]

Wha--? Huuuuuuh?!

[GINYU] So this is the real you!

undred a housand! One eighty

Astounding! Incredible!

Man, we should be getting

the heck out of here right now!

Yeah, I've seen about all I want to see!

There's no need to be scared of me!

Just say you're sorry for what you've done

and leave and no harm will come to you!

What? Apologize?!

[GOKU] That's right!

[GINYU] We're the Ginyu Force! We-We never apologize!

Uhh.

[GOKU] I'm sorry to hear that!

[GINYU] You don't scare me!

We don't bow to anybody, not even a guy like you!

Although, I must admit...

we've never really faced anyone like you!

[GINYU wails]

[BULMA] Huh?!

Oh, my gosh! What happened?!

This is horrible!

Man...

Hmm...

[BULMA] I had no idea it was this bad!

This is just awful!

How could anyone do this to these people

just for the Dragon Balls? It doesn't make sense.

Man...

Gosh, and here I was thinking I had it bad...

[BULMA] Oh, you poor little guy. Ooh...

Oh, Goku, hurry up!

We need you!

[GURU] What are you looking for, Dende?

[DENDE] I was hoping that Nail would come back, Guru.

[GURU] Try looking below, to your left.

[DENDE] It's him! Guru, Nail's come back!

[GURU] Who is it, Dende? I can not see very well.

[DENDE] It's Nail, Guru! Nail's come back.

[GURU] It couldn't be Nail! I sent him on a mission.

[NAIL] It is I, Guru.

Nail, why have you returned?

I asked you to help the Earthlings,

can't you respect an old man's wishes even in his last hour?

[NAIL] I know what's coming, Guru.

And you do too.

You also know that I can't be anywhere

except by your side at this time!

[GURU] There's nothing you can do, my son.

You know that.

[NAIL] But, Guru, I have to try!

[GURU] But you can't succeed.

[NAIL] Then I'll die trying!

[GURU] Nail!

Mmm. You're a fine young man.

Hmm...

Isn't that the place over there?

[KRILLIN] I don't know, it all looks the same to me.

[KRILLIN] Hey, you were right, Gohan!

This is it!

We better hurry!

[KRILLIN] Where is she? Uhh, Bulma, where are you?

Come out, come out wherever you are!

Hm, I guess she's not here.

Hey, Bulma!

Well... Huh.

[KRILLIN] Keep your eyes open for the Dragon Radar, Gohan.

[KRILLIN] Maybe a mountain lion drug her into this little cave!

[GOHAN] I wouldn't want to be the mountain lion!

[KRILLIN] Yeah, I guess you're right.

Oh, brother! I can't believe it.

You leave a girl stranded in the middle of nowhere,

and she's still gone when you need her.

[GOHAN] Hey, Krillin. Check this out.

[KRILLIN] Oh, yeah. Wow.

Some sort of hieroglyphics, huh?

ki! No, silly! This is a track from Bulma's air

She took off somewhere!

[KRILLIN chuckles]

Oh, great, a ruthless killer is about to find

the key to immortality and she's out cruisin' somewhere!

Bad timing, huh?

C'mon, Gohan! We've got to find her!

Without the Dragon Radar, this is hopeless!

[FRIEZA] Oh, and what do we have here?

Well, well, well...

[FRIEZA chuckles]

Well, I guess it's time for you to get going, my little brother.

I know you can do it!

[GURU] Come here, boy.

[DENDE] Yes, Guru

[DENDE] Yes, Sir?

[GURU] I have a gift for you to help you on your mission.

[GURU grunts]

[DENDE whimpers softly]

[GURU] It's okay, Dende.

Don't be scared of this new power

that you feel within you, son.

It has always existed inside of you, I merely uncovered it.

Must I go?

[GURU] The sooner, the better, my son.

Goodbye, Guru!

Please take care of yourself while I'm gone, okay?

[GURU] Be strong, my little warrior.

It pleases me that in these dark hours,

a flame so small burns brightly.

[GINYU] Of course, I know what you are now!

You're not an ordinary Saiyan, you're a-a... a Super Saiyan!

Huh?!

Call me what you want, it doesn't matter to me.

Because the outcome is still going to be the same!

This is what Frieza was afraid of,

this is why he destroyed the planet Vegeta!

[GINYU] Aargh! Why me?!

Rrgh! I am the great Captain Ginyu!

[JEICE] That's it, Captain! Remember who you are!

Sir! He's making you lose your composure

and forget about style! Don't let him do it!

[GOKU] My offer still stands! We don't have to fight!

[GINYU] Hmm...?

[GOKU] You can still choose to admit you're wrong

and leave this place!

Alright!

One way or the other, let's settle this right now!

It's your choice!

You're serious, aren't you!

You'd let us go? We could leave just like that?

Mm-hmm. Yeah, why not?

You're the ones who will suffer most

for what you've done to these people.

It's bad karma!

Bad karma?

[GOKU] That's right!

You'll have to reap what you've sown.

[GINYU thinking] Wait a second. Something's not right here!

Super Saiyans are supposed to be radically efficient

killing machines. But this guy is as gentle as a lamb!

He must not be a fully developed Super Saiyan,

which means he still has weaknesses!

And I think I just figured out

what this guy's greatest weakness is!

Yeah. Yeah! Yeeaah!

I thought I was dealing with a lion here

but now I realize you're just a pussycat!

Huh?

[GINYU] You heard me! Ha ha ha!

Yes, my friend!

It's hard to win fights when you're way too forgiving.

[GINYU] And I know you wouldn't even hurt a fly

if you didn't have to, would you?

[GINYU chuckles]

[FRIEZA] Oh, to sip from the cup of eternity,

and fly free on wings of immortality!

[FRIEZA giggles]

[DENDE] Hm?!

[FRIEZA] Hmm?

It's just a brat.

Kids are learning to fly so young these days.

[GURU] The evil one has arrived, Nail.

[NAIL] Yes, Guru. I feel his presence.

[FRIEZA chuckles]

[FRIEZA] Hello, is anybody home?

[NAIL] Yes, I'm home. Welcome, "friend".

[FRIEZA] Why, thank you very much.

I'm a visitor here, touring your lovely planet

and I happened to find seven Dragon Balls!

A man at the gift shop told me about

the legend behind the balls; about the wish.

[FRIEZA] But the balls don't work unless you have a password.

Would you happen to know the password, my good man?

Not me.

You should check with the Chamber of Commerce, "friend".

They have that sort of information.

[FRIEZA chuckles]

[FRIEZA] The Chamber is dead...

And so are you if you don't tell me the password.

[scouter beeping]

[FRIEZA] Hmm?

Hm...

Huh?!

Well, well. Friends of yours, I presume?

I hope you boys don't plan on ganging up on me now.

That wouldn't be fair!

Four strong men against just one of me.

Go back...

[FRIEZA] Hm...

Hmph.

So, we arrived just in time!

[NAIL growls]

Look! I can handle this! It'd be better

if you guys took off!

Oh, I get it, Nail.

You want all the glory for yourself, huh?

Well, forget it! He destroyed our village!

This guy is ours.

Bald and bold, heh!

[FRIEZA] Oh, my!

[FRIEZA] Goodness!

Well, I don't want to burst your bubble, boys.

But, you have the fighting power of a boy's scout troop!

We can play if you'd like, but it will be your last game!

[growling]

I've heard enough!

Guys, wait! Please, listen!

You don't have--

Don't worry about us, Nail!

Just take care of Guru!

[GURU grunts]

[GURU] My children...

Raah!

Haaah!

Rrgh!

[yelling]

[WARRIORS screaming]

[screaming continues]

[WARRIOR B grunting]

[WARRIOR C yelling]

[WARRIOR A yelling]

[WARRIOR A gurgling]

My dear man, do you know the password

which activates the Dragon Balls?

[grunting]

[wheezing]

Well, do you?

[FRIEZA] I can't hear you. Perhaps if I let go?

There!

[FRIEZA] Fool!

[NAIL] No!

oy? [FRIEZA] Why so blue, lizard

You look so stressed, but everything's fine!

Just tell me the password. It's that simple.

Or... your friend could tell. Would you rather have me

extract the information from your friend?

Look! My friend is very old.

He's dying as it is, and he doesn't need your help!

You wouldn't harm him anyway!

Think about it:

If he dies than you can't use the Dragon Balls

because he created the Dragon Balls.

And when he goes, they go with him, got it?

Ohh...

Besides, look; he's a very sensitive person.

He's spent his whole life healing and teaching our people.

On this planet, he's a prophet!

[FRIEZA gasps]

[FRIEZA] A holy man? Well, I must introduce myself.

I, too, am revered by people all over the Universe!

Hm...

Aah...

[FRIEZA] Hello, there. Nice to meet you.

My, my, he's not much of a conversationalist, huh?

[FRIEZA] Yoo-hoo! Are you mad at me because I didn't knock?

How rude!

Maybe you'd speak up if your friend here

was crying out in pain? Whatd'ya think?!

I think you would be the one crying out in pain

if you fought him.

He's not like the other Nameks that you've fought so far.

He's been fully trained in the Ancient Way!

Pure-hearted warriors always rise to a new level of strength

when forced to defend themselves against

the vile sort of darkness that you represent!

[FRIEZA] Listen here, you Green Blob!

Watch your mouth!

[VEGETA growls]

[GURU using telepathy] Nail, we must buy as much time

as we can for the Earthlings!

[NAIL using telepathy] Yes, Guru!

[FRIEZA] Alright, old man!

[FRIEZA growls]

You obviously don't like to exchange pleasantries.

Very well, then, let's cut straight to the chase, shall we?

What's the password?

[JEICE] That's it, Captain! You're looking good, mate!

eter! I'd say you're back to a full "ten" on the style

[GINYU] Yes, style! That's us, the mighty Ginyu Force!

We're professionals!

For us, killing is just part of the job!

But it's not like that for you, is it?

[GINYU chuckles]

You can't beat us!

[GINYU chuckles]

[laughing]

[NARRATOR] Has Captain Ginyu exposed Goku's only weakness?

Does the Saiyan from Earth have what it takes

to defeat the Ginyu Force?

Tune in next time for Dragon Ball Z!
