[NARRATOR] Last time, on Dragon Ball Z,

Goku's hidden powers had at last awakened,

as he transformed into a legendary Super Saiyan.

Faced with this new threat,

Frieza launched a desperate volley of attacks

but to no avail.

[FRIEZA yells]

[NARRATOR] For all of his might,

it seemed the once invincible Frieza

had finally met his match.

[FRIEZA] You--!

What... What are you?!

I am the hope of the Universe.

I am the answer to all living things that cry out for peace.

I am protector of the innocent.

I am the light in the darkness.

I am truth.

[NARRATOR] Now, with Planet Namek set to explode

at any minute, the final, decisive round

of this epic battle is about to begin.

Today, on Dragon Ball Z!

[GOKU] Ally to good!

Nightmare to you!

[FRIEZA whimpers]

[FRIEZA growls]

Bah! Super Saiyan.

So, out of that whole barrel of monkeys, one finally made good.

[FRIEZA chuckles]

[FRIEZA] Vegeta...

He was sure that he was the one.

Ha, ha! When he was a boy, that legend was his only comfort.

He tried so hard and failed.

What a dope!

He thought he was a jewel, but he was just a dirt clod.

[GOHAN] Hmm...

[GOHAN thinking] Gosh, what a battle!

Krillin, where are you?

We made it so far together...

I can't believe that you're not with me now...

We were so close!

[FRIEZA growls]

[FRIEZA] Huh...?

What?! No way!

[FRIEZA yells]

[FRIEZA growls]

Nooo!

[FRIEZA growls]

[FRIEZA thinking] This can't be!

I am lord of the Universe!

How could his power rival mine?

By toying with him

I gave him the chance to develop his power even more!

[FRIEZA growls]

[thinking] I should have destroyed this scum

the moment I first laid eyes on him!

[MELAKKA] Sir, all check-point communications

from the Ginyu Force have stopped!

And, Sir, Lord Frieza's scouter is still offline!

I can't even get a reading of their power levels!

That means... That means it's possible

that they've all been destoyed somehow!

[SOLDIER] Well, I say good riddance!

[gasping]

That's right! You heard me!

What?! Are you crazy?!

[SOLDIER] Frieza destroyed my entire race,

so let him get what's coming to him!

[SOLDIER screams]

You...

...idiots!

Live as slaves if you want to!

[CUI] No one double-crosses Frieza and lives!

[SOLDIER screams]

[CUI] Take note men, of what happens to someone

who decides to oppose Frieza!

[MELAKKA] B-But he was one of your own kind!

That man? My own kind?

Yes, he was!

[CUI] Listen!

Don't you men get it?!

There are no individual races anymore!

There are only two kinds of people now:

Those who obey Frieza... And those who disobey him!

And they never live very long!

So which kind of people are we?!

Do we support Frieza?

Good! It's better than dying!

Take my word!

Now, get back to work, you bums!

[beeping]

[BLUE] There we go!

Picking up a power level reading from Namek!

Isolated!

Wow, it's him! Frieza!

It's huge!

I'll say! It's off the scale!

[CUI laughs]

Excellent!

It looks like the boss is turning up the heat!

Huh?!

What's that?

There's one more, and it's huge, too!

How big?!

It seems equal in measure. No, wait!

It's actually a little bigger!

[BLUE] Here we go, sir!

Isolating signal right now!

[MELAKKA] Unbelievable!

[BLUE] Complete system overload!

[grunting]

[SOLDIER 2] Let's get out of here!

[SOLDIERS screaming]

[MELAKKA] Commander, she's going to blow!

[screaming]

[FRIEZA growls]

It's over.

You're finished.

[FRIEZA gasps]

[FRIEZA] How dare you?

Me?

Finished?

No one says that to me!

I reign supreme over all!

[FRIEZA growls]

[GOKU] Ka... Me...

Ha...

[FRIEZA growls]

[FRIEZA growls]

[FRIEZA growls]

[GOHAN] There it is!

Dad's spaceship!

It looks okay!

Hang on, Piccolo!

We're going home!

[DR. BRIEF hums]

[CHICHI] You sure have been up here a long time.

Are you sure you know what you're doing?

[DR. BRIEF] My dear, in this line of work,

patience is a virtue!

[DR. BRIEF yells]

Who said being a scientist isn't dangerous!

Just look at the swelling!

[CHICHI growls]

[beeping]

[SCRATCH] Meow!

[DR. BRIEF] Hm?!

Somebody has triggered the floor sensor in Goku's ship.

[CHICHI] Huh?!

Oh my goodness!

Who do you think it is?

Well, there's only one way to know for sure...

Now...

Let's hope this works!

[CHICHI] Is that Gohan?

It really is him!

Gosh, it's bad!

Gotta focus; there's no time to waste!

Huh?

My baby!

[GOHAN] Mom?!

Is that you?!

Gohan, I can't believe it!

It's really you!

You're still alive!

[ROSHI] Ask him about the others!

Are they okay?!

Krillin's gone...

Krillin?! He's gone?!

How dare you!

Gohan! What's going on?!

Is the fight over?!

No, Dad told us to take off while he handles Frieza.

Frieza got Krillin...

He's gone now...

[ROSHI] Is Goku winning?

I don't know. And I'm sorry,

but I don't have time to answer any more questions right now!

[CHICHI] Where are your manners, Gohan?

This is your mother speaking!

[CHICHI] Gohan, wait!

You come back here this instant!

Alright then, you're grounded!

Do you hear me, Gohan?!

Hey, just what do you think you're doing, Gohan?!

Get back here right now!

I'd destroy us both before I let you live.

Either way, you'll never make it out of here alive!

We'll see about that.

Guess what?

I just had a brilliant idea.

I've figured out how to beat you!

Hmm?

Your power is amazing

but there's more to winning than that!

Sometimes it's the smartest one who wins, not the strongest!

[FRIEZA laughs]

[GOKU gasps]

Now, say goodbye to Namek!

[GOKU yells]

Die, planet! Die!

Say goodbye to Namek!

Can't stop it!

[GOKU gasps]

[FRIEZA laughs]

[GOKU gasps]

[FRIEZA yells]

[CHICHI] What's happening?! What's that light?!

It looks like the planet is exploding!

[DR. BRIEF] Unbelievable!

It can't be!

[ALL scream]

Gosh! Oh, no... No!

I don't want to die!

[BULMA screams]

[BULMA screams]

[GOHAN grunting]

[GOHAN] Whoa!

Dad, hang on!

[KING KAI] Huh...?!

[KING KAI] Oh, my! Dear me!

[CHIAOTZU] What's the matter, King Kai?

What happened?

[KING KAI] I'm afraid it's bad, guys...

What?!

Tell us, please!

[KING KAI] Goku was doing well, extremely well!

But now he's finished...

It's all over...

Huh?

What?! No way!

It looks like Frieza won this one, my friends.

Goku had Frieza against the ropes!

With his new power, Goku had Frieza totally outclassed

in strength and speed!

Then how?!

What went wrong?!

M-Maybe Goku's still okay!

No, I wish that were possible, Chiaotzu...

Frieza got desperate.

He was losing the battle.

So he used his trump card.

He couldn't beat Goku, so he destroyed Namek!

Destroyed Namek...?

But then... That means...

That means that there was no longer any atmosphere

or air for them to breath!

I'm afraid it's all over...

[CHIAOTZU gasps]

Gosh! Goodness...

[YAMCHA] But what about Gohan? And Piccolo?! And Bulma...?

[KING KAI] All gone, I'm afraid...

[TIEN] It looks like we'll be sticking around for a while.

[KAME] King Kai! Can you hear me?

This is Kame.

Kame? Oh!

Yeah, sure. How's the weather there?

[KAME] Uh, yes, the weather happens to be very pleasant

right now, King Kai. But we have other concerns.

Do you remember my trusty assistant Mr. Popo?

Short guy?

[KAME] Yes, that's him.

Well he's been searching for the Dragon Balls

and he's doing very well, bless him.

He already has five of them!

[KING KAI] Hmm...?

Kame... exactly where are you?

[KAME] Why, I'm on Earth, of course.

Hey..

That means... Huh?!

Hey! That means that... you're still alive, Kame!

[KAME] Huh...? Why, yes, I do have a little indigestion

but I don't think it's anything that serious.

[KING KAI] Do you know what this means, Kame?!

Piccolo must still be alive!

Huh?

Yes, I couldn't be here if he wasn't.

But you know that better than anyone, don't you, King Kai?

Well, guys, Piccolo's alive!

Really?!

[CHIAOTZU & YAMCHA gasp]

[KAME] King Kai, are you still there?

This is Kame.

Hello, is anyone home? H-Hello?

Hey! Be quiet, will ya?!

Ah! Oh...

Hey! He is alive!

Namek's still there!

[BULMA] Oh, man! This is great! Just great!

[BULMA grunts]

[BULMA] No way...

I'm not giving up now..

I've come too far!

Rrrgh!

Whew...!

[BULMA] Guys, where are you?!

[thinking] You can do it, Dad!

I know you can!

It looks like we're going into overtime, you guys!

Goku is fine!

And so are Gohan, Piccolo, and Bulma!

We're back in the saddle!

[ALL gasp]

Yes! We can still do it!

[CHIAOTZU & TIEN cheer]

Darn.

I held back too much power.

So, you couldn't do it.

You couldn't go through with it after all, huh?

Hmm?

I don't blame you.

Destroying both of us to make sure

that I don't win isn't any way to fight.

It's just another way of giving up.

You still don't get it, do you?

[FRIEZA chuckles]

[FRIEZA] I didn't plan on destroying myself,

just you and the planet!

[GOKU] Hm?

[FRIEZA] I can breathe in space and you can't.

That means if the planet goes

then you won't have any more air to live on.

And I shall be victorious!

Five minutes.

That's how long you have.

This planet is still going to blow;

the core has been completely disintigrated.

Hmph.

Five minutes is all that I need!

It won't take that long to beat you

and leave with my friends on my spaceship.

You underestimate me.

The true depth of my power escapes you.

Well, it's time that you experience

the ultimate Frieza!

Yes, a very rare occurrence indeed.

One hundred percent of my true power!

You never really had a chance to beat me!

It's over!

Can your body handle the stress from all that power?

Well, I don't think that it can!

In any case, I'm not going to give you the time

you need to power up!

[GOKU growls]

This battle ends right now!

[NARRATOR] In just a few minutes time,

Planet Namek is going to explode!

[NARRATOR] Hurry up, Gohan!

There's no time to lose.

You've got to find Bulma and bring her back to the ship.

That's right.

Keep a keen lookout, guys.

The decisive moment has finally arrived

on next exciting episode...

of Dragon Ball Z!
