Original subtitles

[NARRATOR] Last time on Dragonball Z,

Cell continued his campaign of terror

carving a path of destruction by draining the life force

from anyone who got in his way.

Krillin found out first hand Cell's awesome power

when he went head-to-head with him

and ended up trapped and helpless.

Luckily, Piccolo and Tien showed up just in the nick of time

to chase the android creature away.

The whole experience left Krillin a little drained,

but it could have been a lot worse.

[CHICHI] Goku? What?

[NARRATOR] ChiChi was surprised to find Goku out of bed

and even more surprised

to see that he was back to his old self again.

[GOKU yells]

[NARRATOR] That's right, Goku has made a full recovery,

but there's no time to celebrate.

[GOKU] Hey, I'm alright. Just relax now...

It's time for me to start my training once again.

There's a level beyond that of a Super Saiyan.

Huh?

[NARRATOR] Is Goku still running a fever?

What is he talking about?

[GOKU] And I will rise to claim it!

[GOKU grunts]

[GOKU growls]

[GOKU chuckles]

Yeah, I plan on being stronger than a Super Saiyan!

[ROSHI yelps]

What's that?! Did you say stronger than a Super Saiyan?!

I don't think it can be done!

[ROSHI grunts]

I can do it!

It's the only way to beat Cell.

And I won't know if I don't try! Will I?

A year...

To know for sure, a year's all I'll need.

[ROSHI squeals]

A year? But that's a long time!

Sure it is! But we both know a place

where it could be done in a day!

[ROSHI] Hmm...?

[CHICHI growls]

Hey, ChiChi, I'd like to take Gohan with me

if that's okay with you!

That's a joke, right? Right...?

[GOKU gasps]

Well... What do you think I'll say, Goku?

[CHICHI growls]

Huh? Yeah! Go ahead. I can't stop you.

But I want you to make sure

Gohan gets as strong as possible.

...'Kay?

[GOKU] Sure!

Now, if I let Gohan

go and battle those androids with you,

you have to promise to let him study when he gets back alright?

[ROSHI thinking] Hmm... Interesting.

ChiChi never lets Gohan put down the books .

This must be some kind of a trick.

--[CHICHI giggles] --[ROSHI gasps]

I want you and Gohan to give it all you've got!

Thanks, ChiChi...

[thinking] I could never deny you anything, you big lug!

[CHICHI] Goku, I don't what I'd do without you.

That's sweet...

[ROSHI stammers]

Well, see you!

[kissing sound]

[GOKU] I'll miss you, ChiChi...

[CHICHI] I'll miss you too...

[GOKU grunts]

[ROSHI gasps]

He disappeared! How'd he do that?!

Come back... soon.

Are we there yet, Yamcha?

[YAMCHA] Soon.

Well, hurry up!

We don't want Cell to get away again!

We have to stop him... And quickly!

[PICCOLO] But we have to find him first.

Aww... We sure need Goku...

--Now! --Wha--?!

--That'd be really nice... --It's my... Dad!

Goku?!

Sure would be great if he'd show up.

It's Daddy!

Goku? Huh?

Hey!

Yup, I must be losing it.

I'm starting to see things!

[KRILLIN gasps]

Goku?

Hi, Krillin!

Goku!

[KRILLIN laughs]

[GOKU] Whoa!

[laughing continues]

Goku! You came back!

[GOKU laughs]

[KRILLIN] Uh-oh... There goes our ride.

[TIEN] Hey, Yamcha, swing her around and grab those two!

[KRILLIN] I can't believe it!

[GOHAN sighs]

You're back!

Yeah. So when do we eat?

--Goku! You nut! --[GOKU laughs]

You're back to normal alright!

Well... A guy's gotta eat, right?

[GOHAN whimpers]

[GOKU] Hmm?

[whimpering continues]

[GOKU] Hey, why the long face, kiddo?

There...

[GOHAN chuckles]

[GOHAN] I missed you, Daddy!

Kamiccolo!

[PICCOLO gasps]

Huh?

[GOKU] What? Did I say something wrong?

Listen, I've been through some changes.

But my name is still Piccolo.

And don't forget that!

Sure thing. No problem!

--Well, what?! --[GOKU laughs]

Uh... Hey, Piccolo...

There's no way that we can defeat a power like Cell

in fight right now.

That's why I decided to start training again.

And I know a place

where I can get a year of training in a day!

Where is that?

[GOKU] It's at Kami's place!

So it's back to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

I see...

No one has ever been able to stay there for more than a year.

No one. It might be way more than you can handle, Goku.

Yeah. That's why I'm taking Trunks and Vegeta.

Surely one of us will be able to do it.

Then go, quickly! Cell gets stronger everyday.

And time is in short supply.

If we let Cell absorb 17, we're finished for sure!

True. Come on, Gohan!

[GOHAN] Huh?

[GOKU] Take my hand!

Right! Let's do it!

[GOKU grunts]

Wait. Before you go!

[GOKU] Hmm?

Hey! Is it true you guys will be gone for just one day?

That's cool. Train hard. We'll find Cell.

It's a deal.

[PICCOLO thinking] One day is more than we can afford.

It better be worth it!

Things are looking up! When those guys are done training

I know we'll be ready for Cell.

[KRILLIN] You bet!

We'll win. And the Earth will be safe once again!

Man, I just can't wait to get to Cell now!

His days of terrorizing people will be over for good!

[thinking] Yes! I can feel it! I know it can be done!

I can ascend beyond a Super Saiyan!

The only question is--How?

[thinking] Father! You're so proud and arrogant!

Well, I've got news for you: I'm not going anywhere!

If you can raise your power to the next level, then so can I!

I'm here to stay whether you like it or not!

[TRUNKS gasps]

Go... ku?

[GOKU] Hey, how's the training going, Trunks?

[TRUNKS grunts]

Not well...

I guess my father really doesn't want me to train with him.

He thinks I'll slow him down

and every time I get close he tells me to get lost!

Look at him! He's not doing anything!

He's been standing in the same spot,

staring into space for the last three days!

He hasn't moved!

Yeah, that is strange...

Maybe he's just waiting for a sign

or something to show him the way. Right?

[TRUNKS] Huh?

[GOKU] I'll go have a word with him.

Hey! Vegeta!

Kakarot, leave me alone.

Hey, hold on.

I just want to help you out, Vegeta!

I know what you're trying to do!

There's a room at Kami's place

where you can get a year of training in one day!

[VEGETA] Hmm...

I could ascend to the next level very quickly...

Take me there.

[GOKU] Sure, but here's theproblem:

Only two people can go in the room at once.

I'm going in with Gohan, so you'll have to go with Trunks.

[VEGETA] This better not be another one of your tricks!

[GOKU] Hey, would I lie to you?

We're all in this together now, remember?

This is on the level, I promise!

[VEGETA] Alright, I'll go! As long as I get to go first!

Sure!

[GOKU] You know, this is a great way for a father and son

to get to know each other.

[ANDROID 18] Hmm... What do we have here?

Ugh! Rubbish!

Maybe this one?

Eww, no. I don't think so.

How 'bout this one?

Hmmmm...

Whoever owns these clothes

should have their optic sensors adjusted.

They are obviously malfunctioning.

No thanks.

Just look at this place...

What a dump.

I can't believe Goku actually lives here.

[ANDROID 17] 18! Any sign of Goku in there?

[ANDROID 18] No. The house is empty.

Goku's friends must have warned him that we were coming.

[ANDROID 17] Hmph.

He's gone.

[ANDROID 18] Great.

[ANDROID 17] Can you track him and find his latest location?

It is difficult, but I will try...

He has moved some distance from this location.

My tracking mechanism has not detected his movements

for the last two hours.

Okay. Tell us what you know.

Alright. Goku, was last detected on a small island to the south.

[ANDROID 17] Then that's where we will go.

You're the boss.

[CELL chuckles]

[CELL laughs]

[COUPLE panting]

[WOMAN screams]

[COUPLE gasps]

[COUPLE screams]

[CELL growls]

[COUPLE whimpers]

[COUPLE screams]

[CELL laughs]

[PICCOLO thinking] They didn't deserve such a horrible fate...

[YAMCHA sighs]

[YAMCHA] These poor people never had a chance...

[TIEN whimpers]

[KRILLIN growls]

Darn it! We're always just one little step behind!

[PICCOLO gasps]

It's Cell!

[CELL] Look at those insects...

I could squash them now, but I will wait...

I find them very entertaining.

[CELL chuckles]

Please follow me.

You will find everything you need here...

There's food, a bed, and bath.

It is not very luxurious, I'm afraid.

I require nothing more than the essentials.

This is not a vacation, this is work!

[GOKU] Ignore him, Mr. Popo. he's a little uptight today.

He's just eager to complete his training.

Yes, so then I can take care of you!

[VEGETA chuckles]

[MR. POPO] Here it is.

[GOHAN] Wow! So that's the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, huh?

[MR. POPO] Alright. Which group goes first?

Hey! You two, go on in.

Good. Right this way, please.

[MR. POPO] Once you cross the threshold,

you are to spend a year in the room.

But when you leave, only a day will have passed

in this dimension.

Good luck.

[TRUNKS] Hmm...

Thank you, Goku.

[GOKU] Good luck, Trunks. Take care of Vegeta, okay?

[VEGETA growls]

[GOKU chuckles]

I hope those two get along...

[VEGETA] What's so special about this place?

It's hot. There's less air.

And the gravity is different.

[VEGETA] Hmm...

What?! I don't believe it!

[VEGETA] Hm?

[TRUNKS] There's nothing here!

We're surrounded by total emptiness!

We're floating in a gigantic void!

[TRUNKS] What kind of a place is this?

[VEGETA] Too much for you?

Of course not. But...

Now, I know why few can stand a whole year in this place.

It's overwhelming!

It is. It is...

[TRUNKS] I must not let my Father see that I am afraid...

This is my chance to prove myself to him!

But I don't know if I can spend an entire year in this place...

It's too much for me...

It's too much!

[YAMCHA] If we can't sense Cell, then where is he? He's hiding!

Right?

That's what he does. And the world's a big place to hide in.

So what?! Then we'll just get out there and find him!

And fast!

If we don't, Cell will take total control of this world!

[PICCOLO growls]

[PICCOLO] We can chase Cell all we want,

but we're going to need Goku, Vegeta, Gohan and Trunks

to complete their training and transform into Ascended Saiyans

if we're going to beat him!

[REPORTER ] If you're planning on going outside today, don't!

The creature sightings are at an all-time high.

It would be a good day to stay in, and lock your doors.

These are dangerous times, folks, and we can only hope

that somewhere there is someone

--who can stop this monster! --[PICCOLO] I can't stand it!

Sitting here doing nothing

while Cell continues his reign of terror!

[KRILLIN grunts]

[PICCOLO growls]

[PICCOLO] Curse you, Cell!

[PICCOLO] Hn?!

[PICCOLO gasps]

[ANDROID 17] Hi... Can Goku come out and play?

[thinking] Oh, this is perfect!

It's exactly what I wanted for breakfast!

Goku is not here.

Not here?

[PICCOLO] Get up! We have company!

[KRILLIN] Huh...? What...? What's going on?

This better be good...

[PICCOLO] Stand your ground! I'll handle this!

Goku's not here, but perhaps I could take his place.

No thanks... But...

Tell us where he is and I might change my mind!

[KRILLIN] Oh no! I don't like the look of this!

Goku's gone now... So, why don't you go get lost?

Now, now.

It's not very nice to talk to your guests that way, you know.

Uh-oh! They look like trouble with a capital T!

Alright. Have it your way. There. That island.

You and me.

[ANDROID 17] Very well. If you really want to.

You three stay here. This is my fight now!

[KRILLIN] Huh?

[ANDROID 18 giggles]

Does Piccolo have a chance?

No way! The odds are against him!

No, he can do it!

He has to, at least until Goku gets back!

Come on, Piccolo! You can do it Piccolo!

[ANDROID 16] Hm?

[ANDROID 18] I think it's my turn to sit this one out.

[ANDROID 18 sighs]

[ANDROID 17] If you cooperate. I'll go easy on you.

[ANDROID 17 sighs]

[ANDROID 17] Last chance. Tell me where Goku is.

No. Go find him yourself!

[NARRATOR] It looks like Piccolo has thrown down the gauntlet.

Since uniting with Kami, he's more powerful

than he's ever been. But does he have the strength

to beat Android 17?

This could get messy, so don't miss the next exciting episode

of DragonBall Z!
