Original subtitles

[NARRATOR] Previously on Dragon Ball Z,

Piccolo took on the ruthless Frieza in a one-on-one battle.

With Piccolo and Nail becoming one,

it appeared the fight against the all powerful Frieza

had finally turned around.

[NARRATOR] Was the Namek pair strong enough?

At least for a while it appeared so.

All we have to do is fight as one.

[NARRATOR] As Frieza learned of the Namekian trick,

he upped his efforts, launching an incredible blast.

[NARRATOR] But the new Piccolo reflected it,

sending it straight back to the evil Frieza!

However, it would take more than that to stop this villain.

[NARRATOR] Piccolo gathered his strength for another

massive assault against Frieza.

[FRIEZA screams]

What the...?

[NARRATOR] But when the smoke cleared,

Frieza was still standing.

[NARRATOR] The battle continues... today!

Oh, wow. It looks like Piccolo whipped Frieza's butt!

No! It is not over with!

Hey, Vegeta, from what I've seen, Frieza's finished!

[thinking] Oh, these morons just don't get it!

There's no way that Frieza's dead!

And they think this is easy...

All right! Thanks to Piccolo, Frieza's finally bit the dust!

Right on!

[thinking] Now I see why Piccolo wanted to merge with Nail.

Their combined power was just too much for Frieza to handle!

[thinking] Frieza's power level is way down! Come on, guys...

You gotta tell us...

Did Piccolo defeat Frieza,

or are we still stuck up here in this eternal limbo?!

Let's put it this way, he's our only hope.

[KING KAI] Hmmm...

[PICCOLO grunts]

[ALL gasp]

[PICCOLO grunts]

[FRIEZA growls]

[GOHAN screams]

[FRIEZA laughs]

[PICCOLO] What the--?!

Ah! It doesn't matter how quick I make a move,

he still beats me!

[PICCOLO grunts]

[FRIEZA chuckles]

What'd we do now...?

Don't worry, Gohan! It's just like they say:

"It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings!"

Well, I'd say she just hummed a few bars.

[thinking] I've got to find a way outta here.

I could save myself at least...

[thinking] Nail...

[GOKU] Oh no! Piccolo! What's happening?

Piccolo!

Well, King Kai?!

It is out of my hands.

All we can do right now is trust in Piccolo.

[BOTH growl]

[FRIEZA chuckles]

[FRIEZA] Well, it looks like the tables have turned again,

my friend, and this time for the last time!

So, are you ready for a taste of your demise?

Because it's coming up right now!

[thinking] Darn it, Frieza's taken a beating

and he's still not down!

How did I ever think I could beat him on my own?

[FRIEZA] Hmm...?

[bones popping]

Alright, Frieza. I don't have all day.

What?! You're serious?

Hmph.

[FRIEZA] Well, I will give you bonus points for courage.

[FRIEZA laughs]

[FRIEZA] But that's all one could expect from a Namek.

Sticks and stones, Frieza.

[thinking] Piccolo, you idiot! Don't make him any angrier!

What the--? Piccolo!

I think I get it!

Piccolo's gathering up his strength inside from Nail,

and then he's going to turn it all on Frieza!

Huh...?

It's time you feel the wrath

of all the Nameks you've destroyed!

[PICCOLO yells]

[FRIEZA laughs]

[thinking] I can feel Piccolo's strength. It's growing!

And it's bigger than it's ever been!

Piccolo! I know you can beat him!

Go for it! Come on!

Perhaps I was wrong about this one?!

[FRIEZA] Well, I don't know about you, but I'm ready.

So, whenever you're finished "powering up",

then maybe we can get started, hmm?

[FRIEZA chuckles]

[PICCOLO yells]

Huh?

[FRIEZA grunts]

Huh?!

[PICCOLO laughs]

[GOHAN & KRILLIN laugh]

Oh, by the way, you cow-headed clown,

I'm only getting warmed up.

[FRIEZA growls]

--[KRILLIN laughs] --Yeah!

Did you see that?!

[DENDE laughs]

You did it, Nail!

I can't believe it's over, Krillin.

Me neither.

[thinking] It looks like Piccolo really did it this time.

And with Frieza out of the way,

it's only a matter of time until I destroy the rest of them!

[VEGETA chuckles]

And for good measure!

[PICCOLO growls]

[ALL grunting]

[GOHAN] You think Frieza's history?

[KRILLIN] I hope so!

It's over!

[ALL gasp]

What does a Namek have to do?

I just wish you could get it through your head...

You can't defeat me!

Just watch me!

[FRIEZA chuckles]

Your problem is you don't know how strong I really am.

See, there is one thing I should tell you about,

and that's my power to transform.

You didn't see my first transformation,

but I have others.

And each time, my strength becomes much stronger.

Which means all your efforts were against a weak me.

Understand?

Good! Now that that little business has been cleared up,

I think it's about time I finish you off!

[FRIEZA] Now you'll see I wasn't bluffing

because I'll be transforming before your very eyes.

Watch carefully now.

And keep in mind it's not my ultimate form.

I still have one more transformation!

You're full of it.

What's he doing?

Well, I'd say... he's in trouble!

Y-You're right. Especially if Frieza transforms again.

[thinking] You know, it's times like this I think to myself:

Why didn't I just become a shoe salesman?!

[FRIEZA] I suggest you stand back while I demonstrate.

Ladies and gentlemen, with great honor

I present to you

the most amazing transformation ever witnessed!

[gasping]

[FRIEZA laughs]

[FRIEZA] Take a good look, Namek.

'Cause after all, you'll never live to see another.

[FRIEZA grunts]

[FRIEZA chuckles]

[FRIEZA yells]

[FRIEZA grunts]

[FRIEZA groaning]

[GOHAN whimpers]

[groaning continues]

[KRILLIN whimpers]

[groaning continues]

[DENDE whimpers]

[FRIEZA chuckles]

[FRIEZA] So, tell me, how do I look?

I may not win any beauty contests,

but I'll beat your tail!

You? Disgusting.

[FRIEZA laughs]

Well, it doesn't look like Frieza changed that much.

Are you kidding?! Unless you've completely lost it, baldy,

Frieza's probably indestructible, now!

[FRIEZA chuckles]

I don't get it. How'd Frieza recover so fast

after everything Piccolo did to him?

[GOKU thinking] What's going on out there?

I can sense Frieza's power growing every second.

But if I don't get my strength back pretty quick,

we don't stand a chance!

And if that happens, I could never forgive myself.

[thinking] Frieza has turned into a far greater

monster than I ever imagined!

[FRIEZA laughs]

[PICCOLO growls]

[FRIEZA} You seem pretty sure of yourself,

so why don't you come and get a piece of me?

Well, it looks like I'll have to get the ball rolling again.

[FRIEZA] Ha-ha!

[PICCOLO chuckles]

[thinking] You may be stronger than me, Frieza,

but with my speed, you'll never catch me!

[PICCOLO gasps]

[thinking] It's not possible!

Well, hello there. Haven't we met before?

It's been so long waiting for you.

Boy, it looks like Frieza's way faster than Piccolo.

Faster, stronger, you name it! Frieza's has Piccolo beat.

[thinking] C'mon, Nail, hang in there!

[VEGETA chuckles]

Please listen. I have the power to heal you.

[VEGETA thinking] Ah, yes, the little green one.

He's going to come in handy.

[PICCOLO growls]

[FRIEZA chuckles]

[PICCOLO yells]

[PICCOLO grunts]

[YAMCHA thinking] We believe in you, Piccolo.

[TIEN thinking] Yes...

[PICCOLO grunts]

[FRIEZA laughs]

[PICCOLO growls]

[PICCOLO yelling]

[FRIEZA yells]

[PICCOLO grunts]

[gasping]

[grunting]

[FRIEZA chuckles]

Now, now, you're not giving up already, eh?

[PICCOLO growls]

[FRIEZA chuckles]

So you really thought your "superior speed"

was going to save you, eh?

Well, you're a lot dumber than you look,

you inferior little Namekian.

Looks like it's time to shut out the lights!

Haaah!

[PICCOLO grunts]

[groaning]

[FRIEZA chuckles]

[PICCOLO grunts]

[FRIEZA laughs]

[PICCOLO grunting]

Ahhh! Piccolo!

[FRIEZA laughs]

[grunting continues]

Oh man, would ya look at that?!

How much more can Piccolo take?

[PICCOLO grunting]

[FRIEZA laughs]

[thinking] Hang on, Piccolo...

[DENDE whimpers]

[grunting, laughing]

[thinking] What's happening, Piccolo?!

[GOHAN growls]

[growling continues]

[GOHAN screams]

[GOHAN growls]

Gohan! Come back!

Gohan!

No, Krillin!

What do you think you're doing, Vegeta?!

Come on, Krillin. Don't be a fool!

[KRILLIN] But... Gohan will never make it!

Look at me! if you really want to save your little friend,

beat me up!

Don't waste your time taking on Frieza. This is our only chance!

[thinking] If Krillin can beat me to within an inch of my life,

that kid down there will heal me and I'll finally become...

a true Super Saiyan!

[GOHAN yells]

[NARRATOR] Will Gohan arrive in time to save Piccolo?

Or is Frieza too powerful to defeat

since his second transformation?

And how will Krillin handle a battle with Vegeta?
