[NARRATOR] Last time on Dragon Ball Z,

King Kai and Goku hopped a plane to the planet of the Grand Kai,

ruler of Other World!

[NARRATOR] There, hundreds of dead warriors were gathered,

practicing for centuries on this eternal training ground.

[GOKU] This place is a dream come true!

Look at all the fighters.

[NARRATOR] The tour turned quickly into a shouting match

with the arrival of West Kai,

who was showing off his prize fighter, Pikkon!

[NARRATOR] But before a brawl could break out,

the quirky Grand Kai appeared.

And he had an important mission for Pikkon.

[GRAND KAI] Hey!

[coughing]

--[CELL laughs] --Good odds!

Wouldn't you say, boys?

[GINYU FORCE] Yeah!

[NARRATOR] Down in the Hell,

Cell, Frieza, and the Ginyu Force were trying to take over.

What a fearsome team!

[NARRATOR] But as Goku watched in amazement,

the mysterious warrior Pikkon stopped the villains

with the greatest of ease.

[CELL yells]

[KING COLD grunts]

[FRIEZA gasps]

[FRIEZA grunts]

[NARRATOR] With fighters as strong as Pikkon in this world,

it looks like Goku has his work cut out for him.

[GOKU] You should've seen it, King Kai!

Pikkon knocked Cell out with one blow!

It was wild!

[KING KAI] Ah. Yes. I'm sure it was...

[GOKU] C'mon, King Kai, I'm serious!

[KING KAI] Goku, you'll soon see Pikkon's strength

is not uncommon.

[KING KAI] Knock knock! Anybody home?

[MAN] Greetings, King Kai! It is good to see you!

This is our newest student, Goku!

[ALL] Hello!

Goku, these are warriors from the North Quadrant.

Keep your ears open and you'll learn a great deal.

[KING KAI] Migoren here fought off an army of evil invaders

about 7,000 years ago.

Sarte bravely protected his planet from meteorites

3,600 years ago. And, there's this guy.

Olibu.

He's from Earth like you!

This is the guy who most of your heroic legends are based on!

As well as a few cartoons.

[KING KAI laughs]

[KING KAI] And I could go on!

All of them were righteous martial artists in life.

And here in Other World, they're all working on their

10,000 years of hard training.

That will earn them a private lesson

from the Grand Kai himself.

Huuh?!

Are you telling me that everyone has to train for that long

before he'll instruct them?!

Well, yeah! You have to show that you're perfectly qualified

or else you'd just be wasting the Grand Kai's time.

I guess...

[KING KAI laughs]

Did you think you could just knock on his door?!

[KING KAI laughs]

[VOICES] D-E-A-D! D-E-A-D!

Oh my gosh, it cannot be!

D-E-A-D! North Kai is really dead!

--We found a halo on his head! --[KING KAI screams]

And only one thing can be SAID!

Congratulations!

You're really...

[ALL] Dead!

Cut it out already! Just exactly how did they get in on this?!

I called them of course!

You know, none of us have ever seen a dead Kai before!

Not ever!

And so now... we'll have a big party!

Leave me alone!

Who are those people getting King Kai all worked up?

Those are his counterparts.

The tall one is South Kai...

And she's East Kai...

Wait, now how many of these Kai's are there again?

Only these...

Well, at least on their level

Think of it as a ladder.

On the bottom rung is all of space...

Higher up is Hell and then Snake Way...

At the next level are the planet's of the four Kais,

who oversee their parts of the Universe.

And higher still, above the four Kais and all the rest

is the Grand Kai's planet.

Ohh... I see.

And that's where we are right? Funny, I never knew this

the whole time I was alive!

Well, I never knew there was anything past the Earth.

There's just no denying it, you're one dead Kai!

Mind your own business, you nosy old hag!

[EAST KAI] You take that back!

--I am NOT nosy! --[WEST KAI] Hey! Knock it off!

A reunion's no time for arguments!

This is the first time we four Kais

have been together in 300 years.

So, we should prove which one of us is better

with a Martial Arts Competition.

[KAIS] A tournament?!

An Other World Tournament.

I think that's just a killer idea, West Kai!

Hah! Why, thank you, sir!

And, to make things exciting,

I'll throw in a free private lesson

to whomever brings home the gold, baby.

[FIGHTERS gasp]

You mean... the winner of the tournament...

...gets a lesson...

...from you?!

Hey, that sure beats training

for ten thousand years, doesn't it?

A great chance indeed.

Like a dream...

[FIGHTER 1] Let's hear it for the Grand Kai!

[FIGHTERS cheer]

Wow, the last tournament was so long ago...

Okay! Follow the leader!

[FIGHTERS mumble]

[GRAND KAI hums]

[GRAND KAI] Oh yeah, turnin', baby.

[GRAND KAI hums]

[GRAND KAI] Aaaaaand stop!

[GRAND KAI] Now, I've done a little redecorating,

so watch the wet paint, y'all.

[GOKU gasps]

[OLIBU gasps]

[GRAND KAI] So, be honest now, whatcha think?

It's great!

[WEST KAI] Perfect for fighting!

[SOUTH KAI] Indeed.

Oh! Wow! This tournament's gonna be amazing!

I just can't wait to start fighting in this place!

What'd you say, boy?! You think you'll fight?!

Well, of course!

This is a serious bout, young man!

It is not for rookies!

Can it, East Kai!

If you'd open your eyes for a second instead of your mouth,

you'd see Goku's plenty strong for this tournament!

[EAST KAI] Hmm... Mm-hmm...

Guess I have no choice but to test your "qualifications."

Whu...?

If I lose in a race against you,

then I'll approve your participation.

There she goes again...

Indeed...

We can't take her anywhere these days

without her finding some excuse to go racing.

[GRAND KAI] Let's see it.

It's bound to be more interesting

than watching you four bicker.

[engine revving]

[EAST KAI moans]

Hear that engine?

[EAST KAI laughs]

Oh, please win, Goku.

That woman irritates the whiskers off of me.

[GOKU gulps]

First one to pass through the archway wins.

Ready?

♪ Ready! ♪

Go, go, Goku! Beat her!

Now on your mark...

Set...

[gun fires]

[FIGHTERS scream]

[EAST KAI] Yoo-hoo!

Ya-hoo!

[EAST KAI giggles]

[GOKU screams]

[EAST KAI] Huuh...?

[GOKU chuckles]

[thinking] The boy's got more spunk in him than I thought.

[EAST KAI giggles]

[EAST KAI] I'll just have to throw her into...

hyper speed!

[GOKU yelps]

--[EAST KAI laughs] --[KING KAI gasps]

Come on, Goku, win one for the team!

[GRAND KAI] It's gonna be close one...

[EAST KAI laughs]

Hey! Get off my tail!

[BOTH gasp]

The Archway! I'm going to win!

[brakes screeching]

[BOTH gasp]

Ha-ha!

But, the...!

Grand Kai!

[GRAND KAI] You both ran a very good race.

But the winner is...

Oh, I knew it!

Myself.

What does that mean?!

We all agree I got here first.

And by the rules, that means I win.

Yes, but...

You didn't even tell me you were going to be a part of this race!

Well, you didn't even bother to ask me.

[GRAND KAI laughs]

[crowd roaring]

The Kai's sure have done a stupendous job

whipping this old arena back into shape.

[EAST KAI] We must win!

Or you'll all be grounded!

[SOUTH KAI] Remember what we've talked about.

Slow and steady!

[WEST KAI] They're all wasting their breath.

You're going to make us champions, Pikkon!

[PIKKON] Yes, of course.

Pikkon is fighting in it too?!

Yeah!

It's gonna be great!

This tournament will be much more intense

than anything you experienced while alive!

You must be very careful!

Sure.

[MUSHROOM MC] Ladies, gentlemen, and everything in-between!

The Other World Tournament will now begin!

In celebration of the North Kai's death!

We'll start off our festivities

with a word from the Grand Kai himself!

You should fight fair.

And I want you all to fight clean.

But above all, fight like you mean it

and give us something to cheer for!

[FIGHTERS & CROWD cheer]

Thank you, Grand Kai!

Now I'll explain the rules of the tournament!

Each quadrant submits four contenders.

They will be pitted against each other

in accordance to the draw sheet that you see here.

The last person standing advances.

If you fall from the ring, start to cry,

or give up, you lose the match.

And poking in the eyes,

orr hitting below the belt are plain mean and are not allowed!

Needless to say, you can't kill anybody in this tournament.

'Cause...

--They're already dead! --[CROWD cheers]

--Now... --[CROWD cheers]

let's get this crazy show on the road!

There's big prizes at stake!

The winner will receive bragging rights, a gold medal,

and a special private lesson from the Grand Kai!

Can't the winner get a good pastry

or something else instead?

Don't you be silly!

[MUSHROOM MC] Who here wants to win?

--[FIGHTERS] Me! --[CROWD cheers]

[MUSHROOM MC] Who's wants a lesson from the Grand Kai?

--[FIGHTERS] Me! --[CROWD cheers]

[MUSHROOM MC] Are you SURE?!

--[FIGHTERS] Yeah! --[CROWD cheers]

Then let's get started with today's first match!

Fighting first for the North Quadrant

will be the heroic Olibu!

And against him, from the East Quadrant,

our good friend Chapuchai!

Don't fret about his size!

Attack his foot!

Do your best, Olibu!

The East Quadrant fighters are all known for their speed!

Stay on your toes!

[gong crash]

[OLIBU growls]

[CHAPUCHAI screams]

[grunting]

[MUSHROOM MC] And the Other World Tournament

is off to an electric start!

Wow! Chapuchai is moving so quickly

it appears there are seven of him in the ring!

You've gotta think!

[CHAPUCHAIS] Haah!

[CHAPUCHAIS grunt]

Oh! What a spectacle!

The copies Chapuchai made of himself

have actually all collided with each other!

[CROWD cheers]

Mysterious...

[gong crash]

[grunting]

[gong crash]

[grunting, laughing]

[yelling, grunting]

[gong crash]

[yelling]

[grunts]

[CROWD cheers]

[MUSHROOM MC] Next up in the arena are Goku,

the newest face from the North Quadrant, and Caterpy,

a long time favorite from the south side of space!

This should be interesting!

[gong crash]

[CATERPY chuckles]

[GOKU] Huh?

[CATERPY chuckles]

[CATERPY growls]

Don't look into his eyes!

[CATERPY shouts]

[GOKU yells]

Darn it!

[CATERPY laughs]

You can't escape me now!

Goku!

[CATERPY laughs]

--[GOKU laughs] --[CATERPY] Goochy-goochy-goo!

--[laughing continues] --[KING KAI groans]

[GOKU laughs]

Caterpy is giving Goku the tickle torture!

Could he be any cheaper?!

Yeah, how do you like that, little man?! Goochy-goo!

Just give up! Say you give up!

[GOKU laughs]

[KING KAI whimers]

South Quadrant must be a very peaceful place...

[laughing continues]

--[CATERPY] Yeah! Say give up! --[GOKU] O-Oh, man!

--It's the only way! --[GOKU laughs]

--Tickle, tickle! --No, please--!

[GOKU laughs]

[GOKU] I... don't... give up!

[GOKU growls]

[CATERPY grunts]

[CATERPY groans]

Uhh... Gee, guy...

You're not very strong...

You... meanie!

Picking on me like that!

You're...

gonna be sorry!

[GOKU yells]

[CATERPY sobs] He hit me!

But aren't you supposed to fight in a fight?

[GOKU gasps]

What a development!

Caterpy's begun his metamorphosis!

[FIGHTERS gasp, mumble]

What's... he doing?!

He's become a pupa.

In time he will change into his ultimate form!

Pardon me, South Kai,

but may I just ask you how much time

this metamorphosis of his is gonna take?

[SOUTH KAI coughs]

I'd say somewhere in the neighborhood

of about twelve hundred years...

[ALL gasp]

Ahh... I don't think I can wait THAT long to finish this!

Yeah... Well, neither can I.

So Goku wins this round by default!

[FIGHTERS & CROWD cheer]

Guess...

They like me...

[cheering continues]

[NARRATOR] And so, the Other World Tournament has begun...

Can Goku, in his rookie attempt, punch his way to the final bout?

And what sort of strange maneuvers

will his next competitors employ?

Stay tuned for more of the excitement on Dragon Ball Z!
