"Goku Goes to the Demon World"

While undergoing intense training, Goku continued traveling south.

What're you doing?

Me? I'm training!

Whatever the case, you'd best not go any further.

Why not?

See that castle over yonder?

At its base, there lies a village of demons!

A village of demons?

Yes!

Why, just last night the princess was kidnapped,

and now everyone is in a panic!

Rumor has it that when night falls,

monsters come out from the Demon World Gate to cause havoc!

What's the Demon World Gate?

The gate that separates this world and the Demon World.

So you see, you'd best take another route! Heed my advice!

I have some leftovers, you can have them if you'd like.

Thank you!

Bye now!

A village of demons...

There's a monster with a head for a crotch!

Huh?

Huh? It's just a cute little boy!

Really?

Whadya mean, cute little boy? !

That's a really strong monster, that is!

Oh, my!

Hey! Anyone here? !

He really is a monster!

That was dangerous!

I'm not a monster!

If you're not gonna come out, then... !

Wait!

W-wait... !

You genuinely believe that this boy will rescue Princess Misa?

Yes.

While his body is that of a young boy,

it appears he has undergone extraordinary training

and is nearly as strong as...

...no, many times stronger than any of the monsters.

But if he enters through the gate

he will most likely have to battle Shura,

the Demon World's best martial artist.

Yes. This lad says that he wishes to fight strong opponents,

regardless of who they may be.

It certainly sounds like we can count on him.

It's been so long since I've had anything this good!

That hit the spot!

What name do you go by, my boy?

Who, me? I'm Son Goku!

Hey, now! Can't you speak to the king with a little more respect...

Goku.

What?

Pass through the Demon World Gate and you may never return.

Are you certain about this?

Why won't I be able to return?

Horrifying demons and monsters live there.

If they found out you came from this world,

you would be captured and kept there for the rest of your life.

Then I just won't let them capture me!

How ignorant... !

What's ignorant mean?

There are hundreds of thousands of monsters there;

you could never escape capture!

I have no time to discuss such foolishness with children!

Throw him out!

What're you doing? !

Let go!

I haven't done anything wrong!

What's the big idea? ! I just wanna fight strong guys!

Oh, my!

Well done! I have been truly rude to you. Please forgive me.

I had no idea a boy like you could use such superb techniques...

Who taught you?

The Turtle Hermit.

The Turtle?

Oh, Muten Roshi-sama!

The man known as a martial arts god... I see...

But as I said previously,

it will not be easy to bring Misa back without fighting Shura.

Countless brave martial artists have challenged him,

yet not a single one has ever returned.

I'll be fine! I'll come back for sure!

Truly? !

What's that?

Ever since Shura's sword was plunged into the Demon World Gate

the minions of the Demon World have started coming out every night

to wreak havoc here.

They take all of our crops back with them just like that!

Okay! I'll go there and get her back!

Wait!

You have the important job of rescuing Misa.

We know where they are headed. We must choose the time.

What's that mean?

Everything has its most opportune time.

They will get what is coming to them. Just be patient.

I'm ready to go anytime, but...

So the Demon World is on the other side of this gate?

Correct. Once you've stepped inside, there is no return.

However, because of that sword, the monsters of the Demon World

now come and go as they please.

What's the deal with the sword?

That sword is Shura's letter of challenge to us humans.

Until we defeat him, it will never come out,

and until it comes out, the door to the Demon World will remain open

and they will do as they please.

This Shura guy's that strong?

Unfortunately, he has never heard of defeat.

Okay! I'll pull out the sword then!

It's hopeless. As long as Shura remains undefeated...

Whoever pulls out that sword will be a true warrior, indeed.

It won't budge at all...

Because Shura's curse has been placed upon it.

So I just need to beat up this Shura guy, right?

I'm really excited all of a sudden! I'll be back!

Be ever careful.

Okay!

Hey! Where's my snacks? !

Coming!

Come on, this is just a bunch of crap!

What're you doin'? !

You haven't sneezed lately, have you?

It's up to me whether I sneeze or not!

Got a problem with that? !

No, not at all...

Meanwhile, Kuririn and Yamucha began their intense training

for the Tenkaichi Tournament under the Turtle Hermit's guidance!

I wonder what kind of training Goku's doing...

This is Goku we're talking about, so it's probably something insane...

I hope he's all right...

What're you doing? !

Where are you going?

That way!

You need a permit to pass through here.

What's a permit? !

The permit that Enma-sama and Kami-sama give to gods of death.

I don't have one.

Then go back and I'll spare your life!

Impudent little... !

Why, you... !

Stop!

What an amazing little boy.

To think he could best Gora, the strongest person in the Demon World... !

And that dexterity earlier...

Boy! What is your name?

I'm Son Goku. What's yours? !

Mela. I keep guard here so people can't come and go as they please.

Then you're the one who lets Shura come and go whenever he wants!

Wait!

Don't tell me you're trying to find your way to Shura-sama? !

That's right!

He kidnapped someone named Misa, and now I'm taking her back!

Do you have any idea just how strong Shura-sama is? !

I don't care how strong he is!

Are you prepared to die, little boy?

My grandpa told me that doing something people don't like is bad!

Screw up and you might find yourself torn limb from limb!

Plus tonight is Princess Misa's and Shura-sama's wedding celebration!

There's no way you'll get to meet him!

What's a wedding?

And there's gonna be tons of monsters there too!

I couldn't care less! You're friends of Shura too!

Goku, was it?

I'll show you the way. Come with me.

Mela-sama... !

There's nothing to be afraid of.

An enjoyable show is about to begin. Watch.

In honor of Shura-sama's marriage,

we will now hold a martial arts tournament!

Is there anyone here confident in his skills? !

I'll fight!

Who's he? !

It appears Mela-sama brought him here...

Mela? !

She must be trying to get on our nerves again...

Don't be foolish. If so, then why would she bring a boy?

What's the matter? Isn't anyone going to fight me? !

Cocky little brat! Make him suffer before you crush him!

You heard him!

You're my opponent? !

Now's your chance to run away, boy!

Attack me whenever you're ready!

I was gonna go easy on ya, but oh well!

Begin!

It's not over yet.

The real show's about to start!

Who's next? !

Hey. I wanna try fighting Shura...

D-don't be stupid!

Little runt! You've got some guts there!

I'm not a little runt! I'm Son Goku!

As you wish, I will fight you.

Are you Shura? !

That's right.

Then that makes you... Misa?

I'm Goku. I'm here to take you...

That wasn't fair... !

That was just a simple hello.

Now come at me!

Here goes!

Mela-sama... !

Look!

Ow... ! You sure are strong!

What? !

Alright, in that case... !

Die!

Kame...

...ha...

...me...

...ha!

- It's too bright! - My eyes... !

Goku! Now!

I'll take you outside now!

You're strong! You beat Shura!

No, he's just weak against light!

He was actually really strong! I'll have to train ever harder!

Goku! Pull out Shura's sword when you get outside!

Got it!

Take care!

Yeah! But why are you so nice to me?

We're not being nice.

We just have our own reasons.

Hurry up! Leave the rest to us!

Yeah! Later!

Thank you!

We'll meet again someday. But not too soon, I hope...

Oh! You're safe!

Misa!

Mother!

Misa!

Oh yeah...

Those without a permit may not take a single step past here!

Shura-sama ordered us to...

It makes no difference what Shura-sama said,

this is a Demon-Human World law!

So you were behind this...

S- Shura-sama!

Forget about them! Just go!

He pulled it out!

Looks like only the gods of death who have the key can come and go now.

Damn that boy. He certainly showed me up.

This is yours. You can have it back.

Thanks. Being hurt once in a while is good medicine, don't you think?

I guess. By the way, the party's still going on. What do you say?

Sounds fine with me.

Yummy!

And so the Demon World Gate went back to normal and peace returned to the village.

However, in Goku's eyes, it was nothing more than a short break.
