Good morning, Mr. Pouty-Pants!
Commander Sorbet.
What now?
It's Planet 448, sir.
The native uprising has gotten worse.
We can't keep them down for much longer.
Fine. Then send more soldiers.
That's the trouble, sir.
With all the fighting on other worlds,
we barely have any to spare.
What?
Damn it. Disengage. Disengage!
This is Sorbet. Report.
Have you tracked down the remaining
Namekian survivors yet?
I'm sorry, Commander.
We've deployed a small army of spy drones,
but they haven't turned up anything.
We still can't find them.
Well then. There's no choice, we'll go to Earth.
Planet Earth? But isn't that a bit too dangerous, sir?
I know they have Dragon Balls
and that female knows how to find them,
but she's in league with the Super Saiyan!
Without the Namekians, what else can we do?
Earth is a risk we have to take.
Besides, I have no intention of
involving that human woman.
Our spy drones may have failed in other systems,
but they've helped on Earth.
According to their data, she's not the only one
capable of finding Dragon Balls.
Tagoma! The two of us are going to Earth.
Sir! But why not send out a larger unit, sir?
It seems the Earth Saiyans can detect
substantial power levels without using a Scouter.
Obviously, more troops means a bigger risk of being noticed.
Understood, sir. We'll get the job done.
But Commander, are you sure you want to
go down there yourself?
Of course I'm sure.
Lord Frieza is coming back to life.
Commander Sorbet, look! I've found them.
Looks like they've already gathered six of them.
Then what are you waiting for? Let's move!
We have to catch them before they've got them all!
Yes, sir!
Don't disappoint me. You said the last one was here.
Uh. That's right. The ball should be
directly below this spot.
Of course, that's where it gets tricky.
The ocean floor's really deep here
so we'll need some kind of submersible.
Tagoma, dive down and retrieve it.
Right!
We'll, uh, be over here.
Mai! This is your fault for not moving
quick enough with the Dragon Radar!
Now these crazy alien jerks are gonna snatch 'em all up
and steal the wishes that should be ours!
You're the one who said we cooperate,
you should've just told 'em "no"!
Here's what we're gonna do now.
and you're gonna whip out that pretty little sword.
Then chop-chop-chop- pow-pow-pow
and they're finished!
If we're trying to beat 'em then shouldn't
I'm supposed to be the brains of this operation!
But very well. Let's roll!
Aah!
Just because I'm small doesn't mean
you should take me lightly, Earthlings.
Aah!
We didn't mean to get back home so late.
Hi, little Pan!
Oh, sorry Mommy wasn't here sooner!
Unkie Piccolo's green face must've been
really scary, huh?
Huh? You look worried, what's wrong?
I'm sensing some bad energy in that direction.
Huh. I do too, now that you mention it.
But, what could it be?
I don't know.
Aw, you're okay, sweetie.
You're okay. Mommy's right here.
All right, get on with it.
Look. After we do this,
are you the kind of guy who's gonna kill us?
Don't you worry, Earthling.
There's a chance we may have use for you later,
so it's in our best interest to keep you alive.
Now go on. Or don't you trust me?
Eeh. Sort of?
Hey. I have a boyfriend named Trunks,
and if anything happens to me,
he'll make you regret it!
I'm not going to tell you again!
Eternal dragon Shenron! By your name I summon you!
It just got dark. Could it be?
Yes. It's definitely Shenron.
I am the dragon, Shenron.
I shall grant you any wish. Now speak!
He's all yours.
Go on, Commander. This is our chance.
All right.
Let's just hope this works.
I wish for Frieza! Bring him back to life!
What? A-Are you deaf?
You told us I could wish for anything, right?
Of course, it can be done.
But his body was cut to pieces and obliterated many years ago,
and I cannot restore it.
There is little point in returning his soul to that form.
He's still in pieces, huh?
Well great. That sucks.
But think about it. With the new regeneration machines
we use for our troops, this may not be a problem.
Even if the damage is severe,
we should still be able to repair him.
Of course. That should work.
Hey! I don't care what shape he's in,
just bring him back like I told you!
It's unwise to be rude to a dragon.
Eh. Sorry. Pretty please bring Frieza back to life.
That better?
A foolish choice, but very well.
Hm.
Ah!
----It's his eyeball!
Granted. Now what is your second wish?
What? A second wish? I didn't know I get two!
Indeed. When Earth's Guardian was replaced,
my powers were altered as well.
A second? What should it be?
I could wish to bring King Cold back to life too.
Then we'd be really unstoppable.
We wish for a million zeni!
Hmm?!
Your wishes have been fulfilled.
I bid you farewell.
You'll pay for that!
Commander, wait!
There's no time for that!
The Saiyans may know we're here now.
We have to move quickly!
Agh! Okay, fine. Get off me!
I know we packed a cryo-preservation device
on the ship. We always do!
Don't just stand there, get it!
Yes, sir!
Augh!
This is Lord Frieza, after all.
His strength, our tech?
I'm positive we can put him back in one piece!
Um, excuse me, guys?
You're, uh, forgetting something.
I think you might need it.
Eh-uh!
Yes, good work, Earthling.
We'll remember you if we come back to this planet.
But next time we'll have Lord Frieza
and our soldiers, too.
Way to think on your feet, Shou!
Though you could've asked for more,
That would've been, you know, a hundred times better.
Uh. I just thought, this was enough.
If you're too rich you're kids turn out to be
jerks who own night clubs.
Uuh... Yeah! You're right!
Now who wants Mongolian barbecue?
--Yay! I'm starving! - --I want pudding too!
I'm getting a whole table of it!
It's gone now. Wonder what that was about.
Something tells me we're in trouble.
Ah... Welcome back, Lord Frieza.
It's great to see you.
And you are?
Uh. My name's Sorbet, my lord.
I was part of your support staff before...
in the Third Stellar Region?
Oh. You do look vaguely familiar.
Actually. I've been leading your forces, my lord.
Just in your absence, of course.
You've been in charge?
Hm...
Seems I've actually been brought back
Yes. Using Dragon Balls and our new regeneration machine.
Dragon Balls, you say? Ah.
Right, those orbs from that miserable planet.
The fact is we couldn't find the Namekian survivors.
So Tagoma and I risked our lives going to Earth.
We used the Dragon Balls there, instead.
Yes it's like he said, my lord.
I'm Tagoma and it was my great honor to play
such a vital role in bringing you back.
While I, Sisami, managed the fleet.
These two have both been outstanding warriors
rivaling even Zarbon and Dodoria at their peaks!
Hm. It sounds like you've done well, men.
Is it just hard to count the days when you're dead,
or did it take you a long time to restore my life?
Ah... I'm sorry, Your Lordship.
Between hunting down the Dragon Balls and developing
the regeneration technology, it wasn't easy.
Oh, I'll tell you what isn't easy.
Suffering for all of those years in Earth's Hell!
You must be relieved then!
We're so glad you're back!
Hm! I bet my empire's been falling to pieces
without me here cracking the whip.
And you only revived me because you were desperate.
No, sir! That's not it, I swear!
It just took us a lot longer than we hoped.
But on the bright side, it gave us time to improve our tech!
We've restored you completely,
without any cyborg support!
Our plan was to bring you back first, Lord Frieza,
and then King Cold, as soon as we could make another wish.
Hm! No, I don't think we need to
worry about reviving him.
Father was bloated with self-importance.
Yes. Of course.
Whatever you think is best, my lord.
Ah-ahh!
Just as I suspected, my skills have grown
a bit rusty around the edges.
It seems I may need to wait a tad longer
before exacting my sweet revenge.
Uh... Your revenge, sir?
Don't tell me you're surprised.
Of course my vengeance must be satisfied!
I won't rest until both those Super Simians are vanquished!
They'll pay for what they did to me
and they'll pay in blood!
Forgive me if I'm speaking out of turn.
But wouldn't it be wiser to forget about
the Saiyans, my lord?
And focus on the rest of the Universe?
Aah!
Commander Sorbet, help me!
Tagoma!
Shields! Raise the shields!
Either you brought the most cowardly of my troops
to my welcoming party, or the Frieza Force
has become woefully faint of heart.
How do you expect us to run an Empire that strikes
fear across the galaxies while we're cowering from
a handful of Saiyan garbage?
But--But sir.
That Saiyan, Goku, has gone through
a great deal while you were gone.
He's faced all sorts of foes and prevailed.
What are you telling me?
He's more formidable now than when he bested me?
Uh... Yes, sir.
I know that's hard to hear, but it's the truth.
I'd expect nothing less from that monkey.
I'll just have to become stronger myself.
It's as simple as that.
But my lord, he even beat Majin Buu!
That's the last battle our drones recorded.
Who knows if there were more!
in the Universe I was never to challenge.
Beerus the Destroyer and Majin Buu.
You're telling me Goku beat that Buu?
Uh... Yes sir.
Then he's even mightier than I dared to dream.
This could be most salubrious for me.
Uh. I'm not sure I know that word, sir.
It means beneficial to a person's health and well-being.
And what could be more salubrious for a conqueror
than the motivation to become so strong
he's never dethroned again?
Um, as you say, my lord.
I've never trained a day in my life.
Imagine what could happen if I unlock my latent potential.
Hold on. You mean, you could get stronger?
Stronger than your final form?
Of course, my minion. Now shut your gaping mouth
If I train in earnest for the next four months...
Yes. I could reach a power level of
one-point-three million.
Look, I already told you!
I am a super-elite galactic patrolman!
Now go and get Bulma for me!
And like I keep telling you,
Bulma won't take visitors without an appointment!
You foolish human! Do you have any idea how far
I've come to tell her the Earth is in danger!
Oh, Taco, long time no see!
Not Taco, Jaco!
Well, either way, it's been a long time.
So what do ya say, Paco?
How 'bout I show you my beautiful goldfish?
A fish made of gold?
Wow, those eyes are more like what you see
in an Erukan bull frog.
That's because these are pop-eyed goldfish.
Pretty cute, huh?
Whoa...
Hey!
Hold on! I don't have time for this!
Oh. Right.
Oh, wow, it really is Jaco!
Long time no see, space cop.
What brings you down to our planet?
I had an interesting talk with your sister, Tights.
She tells me you're buddies with the man who
defeated Frieza. Is that true?
Huh? Well, I guess, technically there are
two people who've beaten Frieza.
The first, of course, was my teenage son, Trunks.
And the other person was our old family friend, Goku.
Granted I hadn't given birth to him at that point
'cause he came from the future in a time machine.
Right now he's a cute little boy.
The future? You tell me that like it's no big deal!
Galactic law specifically states altering time
is a serious felony!
Well then those laws are clearly stupid.
The reason I'm really here is to see this friend of yours
who's beaten Frieza. I have grave news to tell him!
Yeah, that's not happening today, Jaco.
Right now he and my husband are on some planet
doing who knows what with Lord Beerus.
Lord Beerus?
Oh, come on. You're in the Galactic Patrol
and you don't know Beerus?
Lord Beerus the Destroyer!
They're friends with Lord Beerus?
That's impossible! You can't be friends with
someone who doesn't actually exist!
Think that if you want, but it's your funeral.
I don't have time to debate cosmic theology with you!
Frieza's been resurrected and is on his way to Earth as we speak!
He's got a thousand men!
Huh? He's alive again?
The same Frieza who put me through all of that trouble
back on Planet Namek?
Though I never actually met the guy--
I'm not sure what he looked like.
I did a quick sketch.
Okay, that's not what I was picturing.
But seriously, he couldn't be back!
Right?
Wrong.
And with a thousand soldiers?
And now that I've told you, I'm outta here.
Because I'm young and smart and do not feel like dying.
Well, good luck guys.
You could've told us that first,
instead of playing with goldfish!
Hey! Wait! Come back, Jaco!
Wait, Frieza's back?
Oh, Whis! Hello!
Where are you, Whis?!
I've got a strawberry sundae right here!
If you want it, you better come down and eat it,
before the sun melts it! It's a hot day today!
Dessert, really?! I just told you Frieza's back!
Trust me, this is the best way to get his attention.
I need details. How long 'til Frieza gets here?
Hmm. I'd say in about an hour or so.
You jerk! Why didn't you say that?!
Now I have no time to warn anyone who could help!
So rude.
Come on! Let's go!
We did it! We're as rich as rich guys!
Can't wait to spend this loot!
Hey, watch it, lardo!
Please don't.
Crap, they're coming for us!
I'm gonna floor it. Hold on!
Smoke 'em, boss!
This pig thinks he can keep up with me?
Well, suck on this!
Awe yeah!
Hey, what the hell?!
Yeah, that was dangerous!
You think that was dangerous?
Are you kidding me?
You just robbed a bank!
Ooh...
Come on, guys. Stop stealing stuff.
You're better than this.
We'll never do it again! Please!
We're sorry. We play too many video games!
Don't tell my mom!
Huh?
What? Why's Bulma calling?
You're go for Krillin.
Oh, sorry Bulma, but you got bad timing.
Yeah, I'm in the middle of a bust.
What? Frieza? That's impossible.
Right. Right. I'm on it, okay!
I'll find Master Roshi and get him up to speed, don't worry.
Okay. I'll see ya soon.
Frieza, he's...
He's come back to life?
I should be going too.
but I'm still a lot stronger than you are.
Maybe, but it's more important that you stay here
and take care of our little Marron.
But actually, there is one more way
you can help the cause.
I think I should go old shcool!
So Goku and Vegeta aren't even here right now?
They're on some other world with that cat?
We just have to hope they get our message soon
so they can join the fight.
At least we still have Buu and Gohan around, though.
They can buy us some time!
Well, see ya, babe!
He's so cool.
We'll be arriving at Earth shortly, my lord.
You're telling me you've had a decade
and the most advanced fleet of all time,
yet you only found one of the Saiyans who killed me?
Yes, believe me, sir. We started hunting for
the other one the moment after you passed on.
But no matter where in the Universe we looked,
It's possible he simply retired to some backwoods world,
or maybe even died.
We're confident the only two Saiyans on Earth
are Goku and Vegeta.
Unless you count their half-breed offspring,
one of which is fully grown.
Fine. We'll start there.
But Lord Frieza, once you get revenge,
what's to stop someone from using the Dragon Balls
to bring the Super Saiyan back to life all over again?
Ha! A worthy concern.
That's why I'll destroy the Earth while destroying him.
Then the Dragon Balls, as well as that Hell,
will be permanently expunged.
I see, my lord.
That reminds me, do you remember our contingency
in case things don't go as planned?
Yes, of course. I'll be ready.
Good. Let's go.
Oh. I love spring.
Quit your daydreaming!
Damn it! He's just mocking us!
Huh?
Really, Kakarot? Even now you've gotta
get a shot in at me?
Relax, Vegeta! That was an honest mistake!
Oh, my. Such bickering.
Ugh! Kakarot, just stay outta my way.
It's time I got Whis all to myself!
What? Vegeta, wait!
Down you go.
Huh?
Hm.
Easy now.
I-I can't move.
Aah!
Haaa!
Who's got the upper hand now?
Okay, boys, I think we're done for now.
Neither of you yet possesses the necessary speed.
Look. I even signed both your tops!
What? When did you do that?
You two are still thinking before you move,
rather than just moving.
I'm afraid this habit is especially strong
with you, Vegeta.
This overthinking is limiting your fighting speed.
Messages can only travel through
your nervous system so fast.
When you rely on thoughts for physical action
you lose precious fighting time.
You really do like to overthink everything, Vegeta.
You're only thinking less because you're an idiot!
Your end goal should be to master the ability
to have each part of your body think and move
independently of the other parts.
But I admit this is exceedingly difficult.
In fact, not even Lord Beerus has mastered it,
and he's a god.
If you can overcome the learning curve,
you'll be able to avoid any danger, however severe.
So, allow me to take you through every step
of the training required, in a most meticulous fashion.
In exchange for delicious foods, of course.
You mean your body reacts without you having to think?
That's exactly right!
But, uh, Mister Whis, it looks like
you stepped in some poop.
Ew, ew, ew!
Well my feet do think for themselves,
but I said nothing about my shoes.
Anyway, let's get back to you, Vegeta.
You are clearly an extraordinary fighter
on your own. And yet,
for whatever reason, you're always
one step behind Goku, am I right?
Oh, you just had to bring that up didn't you?
Do you know why you're Goku's lesser?
Please teach me, oh-wise one.
You walk through life with a chip on your shoulder,
and your nerves wound too tight.
This tension makes it hard for you to move
and fight at your full potential.
And so, your first lesson is learning to relax.
When there's a chance to rest, you must take it.
Whis is right. I do love me a good nap.
But you have problems, too.
Ooh!
What was that for? That was a total sucker punch!
Being too relaxed can also be a weakness.
And don't even get me started on
the issues with your overconfidence.
No matter how strong you are physically,
if you let your focus waver, you're set up to fail.
I've noticed many times where you're so sure
of yourself, you let your guard down in battle.
Heh. He's got that one right.
Well I still think it was cheap shot.
What is going on up here?
Some of us are trying to sleep, you know!
That's one heck of a sneeze!
If we got hit by that, Whis would be
scraping our bodies off the ground.
He gets like this when he's sleepy.
Could be worse. He once plunged this planet
into darkness when he accidentally
destroyed those two suns.
Wait, if he blew 'em up,
then how are they out there now?
Are you guys powerful enough to make stars?
Of course not. In rare cases like that one,
I simply perform a temporal do-over.
I reverse time to right before the incident happens,
and then instead of letting Beerus do it,
I give him a quick bop on the noggin.
All right, what the hell are you? Explain.
Now what's the best way to explain this?
I'm simply the life form that's known as Whis!
At the moment, it's my job to look after Lord Beerus.
As you've no doubt seen, he has some eccentric manners
and a mighty temper.
So I need certain skills to cope with him.
Sounds like the old Destroyer can be...
Hey! What are you two punch-jockeys doing up here!
Ee! Oh! Hi, Mister Lord Beerus, sir.
We asked your servant Whis to train us.
I figured that much-- I'm not a fool.
What I mean is how did you two get here?
Don't be mad, your lordness!
We got in touch with Mister Whis
and asked him to bring us here!
had to hitch a ride with him! It was the only way!
So, Whis brought you here. Hah! Let me guess.
All it took to get on your good side
was something high in calories.
Yup! You guessed it.
And why is it so important to build your strength, Goku?
I hope all this training isn't your secret way of
gunning for the job of Destroyer.
Oh, no I'd never want your job!
All I want is to get stronger!
And I won't let this clown leave me in the dust,
so I'm training too.
It hadn't dawned on me 'til now just how poorly
If you ever found a way to work together for once,
you would be able to go toe-to-toe
No one asked to hear your opinion, Whis! Can it!
Please. We tried that once and I'll never
Vegeta doesn't bug me as much as I seem to bother him,
but when it comes to fighting, I work on my own!
Well, I've said my peace.
Hmph. So, what was the price?
What mouth-watering dish did you bring?
Ah, yes! This time, a delicacy called, "pizza."
Ooh. What a ridiculous name for a food!
Is there any left for me to try,
or did you already eat it, you swine?
Don't worry, my lord, I made sure
to save some leftovers for you!
Excellent! I shall eat pizza.
But if it's not absolutely delicious,
I'll destroy you both for interrupting my slumber,
do you hear me?!
Loud and clear, sir!
I'll heat it up so it tastes better.
Hold on a minute. I heard that.
When I asked what they brought you,
you used the phrase "This time."
Does that mean you Earth-huggers have come here
repeatedly while I was sleeping?
Aah!
----What the hell?
They're here!
It feels like they set down near North City!
Make some room, you're blocking the view.
Destroying a city is such a fun way to say, "Hello."
Ah! That cold-blooded monster!
He's gonna pay for this!
Hm?
Heh!
I didn't bring Chiaotzu or Yamcha.
These guys are too dangerous for them.
Yeah, Bulma made me promise I wouldn't say a word
about Frieza's comeback to Trunks or Goten.
Knowing those two, they'd challenge him to a duel.
The cavalry has arrived!
Sorry we're a little bit late.
We figured we should stop by Korin's place first
to pick up some Senzu Beans.
Wow, Krillin. It's sure been a while since
I've seen you go full cue ball!
I know! Back in fighting shape.
But let's talk about you for a moment.
What is going on with that tracksuit?
Oh, right. Heh. It all happened so fast,
I had no time to find my gi.
Gohan. Have you kept up on your martial arts
training at all?
Not really, Master Roshi.
But I can definitely still turn Super Saiyan
when I want to, maybe!
Is Goku not here yet?
No, but he is coming soon, you'll see!
Oh look, the little bald one!
I have a distinct memory of killing him back on Namek.
Ha! Well it seems the Dragon Balls can resurrect
the powerful and the pathetic.
The Dragon Balls?
So they're the ones who summoned Shenron.
Well. I'm guessing the creepy white and purple guy
in the hover pod is Frieza.
Which means you're a better artist
than I gave you credit for!
Bulma! Why would you come to ground zero
of Frieza's invasion!
I haven't had any luck contacting Goku or Vegeta yet,
so I figured I'd be safer with you guys!
Jaco, get out of that spaceship
and help my friends fight these jerks!
Negative! All I said was that I'd give you a lift.
Oh come on! You're a galactic patrolman
and there are freaking aliens invading the planet!
Isn't this your job?
Okay, I'll help. I'll take on some of
Frieza's soldiers, preferably the weaker ones.
So who's Mister Spaceman?
Beats me. I'll never understand how Bulma
has so many weirdo friends.
Hmph. I thought this might be
a Super Saiyan arriving,
but that symbol is for the Galactic Patrol.
Hey, creep!
Were the first two losses not enough?
How'd you come back to life, anyway?
Hey, stop! You should be more polite
with guys who can kill you!
Well there aren't many humans who know who I am,
so I can only assume you were on Planet Namek
during my battle with your filthy Saiyan friend?
I'll give you one final chance to tell me
where that fool Goku is.
You're not just obsessed with revenge,
you suck at it, too! What took you so long?
Suffice it to say that I was tied up for a bit longer
than I would have liked.
Well as stong as Goku's gotten,
he's gonna make your face look even worse!
If I were you, I'd leave before I start a fight I can't win!
Stop it, Bulma. You're not helping!
If I've come all this way and he no-shows,
I suppose I'll just have to execute his friends.
The grief that would cause might be worth the trip.
Gohan, you've gotten a lot stronger too over the years,
you can handle him, right?
I can handle his men. I guess.
But this is serious, Bulma.
I don't think you understand what kind of
opponent Frieza is.
It took my dad everything he had
and Frieza's powered up to a totally different level.
We can't beat him.
Huh? Oh. Oh crap.
Uh, sorry Mister Lord Frieza, but Goku is still
on his way back to Earth. Do you mind waiting
non-violently for just a little bit longer?
I've already spent years waiting patiently in Hell
for the chance to get revenge against the Saiyan.
I will give Goku another ten seconds to show.
What? Just ten seconds?
Stingy jerk! Screw you!
Well don't say I didn't give you a chance.
Soldiers! Give them everything you've got!
Here they come!
Right! Let's do this!
So by my estimation,
your quota's a hundred and seventy soldiers each!
That should hold the line 'til Goku and Vegeta get here!
Hm!
Kamehame-Ha!
Oh crap.
Ha!
Hu-ah!
Aah!
Bang!
Hya!
The odds are way too high against us.
Don't fight in one place! Spread out!
For a Frieza Force they're a pretty motley crew,
which works for me!
What the--?
----Whoa, whoa, whoa, ow!
Gotta jet!
Tri-beam ha!
Kamehame--
You should learn to respect your elders!
Eh?
Destructo Disk! Ya!
Got a present for ya!
Huh? Uh-ahhh!
What was that about, freak?
Don't worry, I didn't forget you.
Hu--aaah!
Ah. That takes a load off.
Say your prayers!
These guys just don't let up!
Aah!
Hey buddy. Thanks. That was close.
Sure, you'd do the same. Right, pal?
Stay here and get some rest. I'll be right back.
Full force, attack!
Later!
Ya!
Huh?
Whoa!
I don't know you,
but you've got some moves!
The feeling's mutual. Who are you?
I'm just an Earthling that knows how to fight!
Really? I thought you were too strong
and too funny-looking to be from here.
No. How are they winning? This can't be!
Oh, this is not surprising me in the least.
That son of Goku could wipe out my thousand-man
army in an instant, if he was so inclined.
Watch him closely and you'll see his attacks
are deliberately non-lethal.
The boy has a soft heart, like his father.
Despite all my heinous provocations on Namek,
Goku still couldn't will himself to destroy me.
He's a noble man of great moral clarity.
So pure. It makes me want to vomit!
Lord Frieza. Sorbet.
Permission to join in the battle?
Hmm. Good idea.
I'll start with you, Namekian!
Hm.
Special Beam Cannon!
Rest in peace.
--Aah! - --Gotcha!
Aah!
----Mm!
Hey Piccolo!
I had him, Gohan!
Maybe so, but let's not take any chances.
Hmmm.
What the he--?
No. It's not fair! Not Sasami too!
You'd only seen recordings of these monkeys in action.
Until you've felt the heat of a Super Saiyan
staring you down, you can't possibly
comprehend their power!
Although, I didn't expect his son to transform.
Here.
--Here, want one? --No thanks.
It looks like Frieza's finally ready to fight.
Pathetic. Not that I couldn't tell the moment I awoke,
but the Frieza Force has suffered quite the decline.
Eeh.
Please, forgive us.
They're a lot stronger...
than we thought they'd be, your lordship.
Oh it makes little difference.
But the aesthetics is another matter.
I can't stand the sight of all your anemic,
broken bodies dressed in my uniforms.
Everyone get back, now!
Jeez. Glad I don't work for him.
Wow. They're just as impressive as ever.
But the real threat hasn't even started fighting yet.
The terror of Frieza is so legendary,
even the Galactic Patrol is afraid of him.
Your friends could all be dead meat, you know.
Telling me that is not helpful!
What are you doing here anyway?
The more fighters we have the better our chances!
Oh don't be absurd. I've already done more than
enough in this fight. My superiors would never
expect me to challenge the Evil Emperor himself!
We have a strict policy against suicide missions.
What do ya think, boys?
If all five of us team up, do we have a shot against him?
I'm sorry, but no.
He's in a completely different class than we are,
Yeah I was thinking the same thing but I had to ask.
Just wanted to make sure I wasn't being a chicken.
So the Earth's valiant defenders
aren't going to advance?
I suppose I'll have to entertain myself
by killing you, one by one.
I remember when Goku's son was just a little boy.
It's so touching to see children grow into their own.
Gohan!
There we have it! Not even a
strapping young Super Saiyan can match
the unstoppable force of nature I've become.
Come on, stay with me.
Yeah. He's in real trouble.
I think his heart stopped beating.
He can't swallow a Senzu Bean.
Give me some room!
Down the hatch.
My! That's an interesting development.
Apparently you Earthlings have attained a wonder drug.
But how much time can it buy you?
A few minutes, at best?
Hey. How many more of those Senzu Beans
do we have, Krillin?
Uh! We've got one more, that's it.
Ha-ha-haaaa!
Hey, Whis!
You hollered, my lord?
What's this stuff called again?
The gooey, stretchy substance on top?
Let's see, what was it called? Starts with a "C."
It's cheese.
Cheese! Cheese, that's it!
It's a bit pungent but I love it,
especially when it's all melty!
Aw come on, Lord Beerus.
Do you really have to interrupt our training
to talk about food?
If I want to, yes.
And I don't recommend you take that sort of tone
with a Destroyer again.
Don't forget, your planet's culinary feats
are the only reason it continues to exist.
But if you prefer, I can destroy it now
and you can practice in peace.
No, no, that's okay! I'm sorry.
Ha!
Someone's not checking his messages!
You got a call from Earth a while ago,
and I sense it's important!
Uh!
Oh yes, you're right. It seems I did miss a call.
I wonder if it's another delectable food offering
from Lady Bulma. Wouldn't that be nice.
Oh, it is! And what's she call it?
A strawberry sundae?
I can only hope it tastes as magnificent as it looks.
Well the girl certainly has piqued my interest.
I'll just check in and find out more.
Hurry, I want to know too!
Hello, Lady Bulma?! This strawberry sundae of yours,
it wouldn't happen to be a "sweet," would it?
Oh? Is that Whis?
What the hell took you so long?!
I've been waiting forever!
Vegeta and Goku are there, right?
Well tell 'em to come home, now!
And I don't want to hear any crap about training!
It's an emergency!
That evil scumbag Frieza has come back to life,
and the Earth's in danger!
Scumbag am I?
--Frieza's back to life? - --Say what?
That can't be true. No way.
After all these years?
Just hold on! We'll have Whis take us
It takes about thirty-five minutes at maximum speed.
Are you nuts? We can't wait that long!
Use your Instant Transmission, Goku!
This isn't a joke!
Uh, I've gotta sense my target for it to work, Bulma,
and I'm not sure I can from this far away.
Frieza's energy is huge, right?
And the guys will help too!
Hey, Goku's about to use Instant Transmission
and he needs a clear signal to lock onto!
Everybody power up to max!
Huh? Okay!
Uh... What are they doing, my lord?
I'd guess it's a distress signal to their savior.
I've got it! Here, Vegeta, let's go!
What? Please. You're actually asking me
Just do it, okay! You know how Bulma gets!
We've gotta get there before she says something
to piss off Frieza!
Next stop, Earth!
Ugh!
Oh!
Dad!
Did we make it in time?
Yeah. I mean it was close, but sure.
You know just once it might be nice for you
to show up at the start of the fight.
Yeah, sorry.
The guest of honor is here at last.
I've been waiting such a long time for you.
Hm.
I didn't think I'd see Vegeta here too,
but monkeys do travel in troops.
All that really matters to me is
I finally get to destroy you.
I thought we were done with you for good, Frieza.
How did you come back to life?
His lackeys used the Earth's Dragon Balls.
It was about six months ago. Isn't that right?
It was poetic, using Earth's dragon
to save me from Earth's Hell.
Oh, you can't imagine the depths of my suffering there.
I spent most of my days strung up
like a damn pupating moth,
trapped over a field of delicate little flowers
where bands of angels and fairies
and enchanted stuffed animals lived!
They played songs and danced asinine jigs
was when they would get their next warm, fuzzy hug!
Instead of ruling the Universe with an iron fist,
I was serenaded by teddy bears!
Well don't try to put that on me, Frieza.
You're the one who came to Earth looking for a fight.
That's the only reason Trunks took your life.
I had to come here, that's what you don't get.
Because I'll never be able to sleep in this Cosmos
knowing that I share it with you!
Your death is my remedy. That's why I've been
training intensively every day since my return;
to make sure I won't lose to you again.
Having to put a real effort into anything
was a first for me, Goku.
I'll make sure you suffer for that, too.
You're a lot stronger now than the last time
I saw you, Frieza-- there's no question about that.
and in case you didn't notice, I've gotten stronger, too.
The first time we fought I made mistakes
and you caught me off guard.
To ensure that won't happen I'm going to
take my final form from the start.
Uh! Holy crap. That's incredible.
Just what kind of training did he do?
Guys. This is way worse than I thought.
If there was ever a time to run for the hills, this is it.
I'll tell ya this, you're no pushover,
If you weren't rotten to the core, you'd actually
make a perfect sparring partner for me.
What a waste of talent.
That's just the sort of small-minded drivel
that makes your existence so intolerable.
Go on. Channel that Super Saiyan glow I hate so much.
To be honest, Frieza, I'm not so sure I need to yet.
Well, well, well.
Our monkey's wearing even bigger britches now.
That's right.
Fine. The black-haired Goku's pelt
will look just as good on my wall.
Hm.
Aah..!
Yaaah!
How's that possible?
Frieza's more monstrous than ever,
but Goku hasn't taken a single blow!
I feel like I'm stuck in some kind of bizarro nightmare.
How can one Earthling have that much strength?
Well he grew up here, but he is a Saiyan, you know.
You're obviously joking.
The Saiyans were a brutal warrior race driven
to extinction-- there can't be one here.
It's true. Actually my husband's a Saiyan, too.
Two Saiyans?! Ah, come on!
I'll pretend I didn't hear that.
It was my job to keep this world Saiyan-free.
That would be way too much paperwork.
Take this!
Aah!
Seriously? That's all you've got?
----Ooh!
Huh?
Stop! This has gone on long enough!
You promised me we would take turns, Kakarot!
Jeez, man! Ow!
I barely got warmed up, you know!
What? Are you serious, guys? Really?
Oh...
Well how flattering.
No matter how far a pet strays,
he still knows who holds his leash.
Your gesture isn't lost on me, Vegeta.
But stay out of this fight. I want to crush Goku myself.
There, you see? Let me fight him just a little longer,
and then we can switch off!
Hm...
Hmph. Damn it.
Hm!
Well this is unexpected.
I knew a great deal of time had passed since our battle.
And I knew you were the self-improvement type,
but you've climbed higher than I thought.
I tried to warn you, Frieza.
It's fortunate I trained so hard,
or I might actually be scared.
I knew it.
You've been holding something back, haven't you?
That's well deduced for a simpleton.
I've held back just like you.
Then let's both go all in.
No more tricks. No reserves.
Very well, monkeys first.
Sure about that? I don't want you to get discouraged.
But fine, I'll show you.
They're coming back down.
I can't tell what they're up to.
What do you think?
So what is this, Super Saiyan with blue hair dye?
It's a little more complicated than that.
You don't have the patience for the full story...
so let's say I got a taste of something called
Super Saiyan God, and now I've learned to
tap into that power on my own.
Not bad at all, Goku.
This is just further vindication.
If I hadn't evolved to a new level myself,
then this might have proven rather perilous for me.
I think it's time you stop talking
and start showing me, Frieza.
His power. It's amazing!
What? Frieza has a new form?
I know gold's a bit gauche, but I wanted to ensure
you grasped my new position atop the pecking order.
And for the sake of your feeble mind,
let's keep the name simple as well.
We'll call this "Golden Frieza."
Of course, I hope you've realized
this iteration has far more to it
than a shimmering new façade.
I noticed. To be honest, you're more powerful
than I was expecting as well, Frieza,
and it's definitely got my heart beating a few ticks faster.
This is going to be quite the epic battle,
my old nemesis.
Sure as hell won't be an easy one.
So you want to take that turn right now, or what?
Auh! Don't pawn him off on me now, Kakarot!
He told us he wanted to fight you, remember?
Okay, let's give this a shot.
Hm.
Ah!
Good afternoon!
Whis and Lord Beerus! Are you here to help?
We've come here for that offering of
"the strawberry sundae."
I trust that you've brought it with you, Bulma?
Huh? Oh, yeah, I've still got it.
It's in Jaco's ship.
Does it taste as good as it looks?
I hope so, since I hate traveling for nothing.
I'll have to destroy your planet if it's average.
Look. It's not a good time for dessert!
Eee! Okay, okay, I'm getting it now!
Just don't blow us all up if it's
a little melted, all right?
Was that too much? I'm still getting used to this.
Okay, it's all yours.
Oh boy! It looks even more delicious in person!
Here goes!
Mm-mm-mmm!
This uses that dairy concoction known as
"ice cream" as its base, correct?
Interesting. These red things look like the brains
of those giant frogs on Planet Manu.
Oh no, it's some kind of fruit! That's even better!
It's such a burst of flavor!
Try it, Whis. It's great!
Yes I know. I've already had one.
This dessert's simplicity is deceptive.
Speaking of good, look at Frieza.
He's clearly gotten stronger.
Yes. Goku is having trouble with him.
Mmm. Oh, Bulma! What is this sweet, white substance?
Um, no, that's just whipped cream.
Ah!
Look at Vegeta, just watching.
The Saiyans would win if they fought as one.
Yes, if they worked together they'd clearly be unstoppable,
but they're far too proud to do that.
You mean too stupid.
You said it, not me.
Hmm.
Damn it. Hate to admit it, but I'm having some trouble.
You say that like it isn't obvious.
There's no way around it, Frieza,
It took me years of blood and sweat to reach this level,
but you've caught up like it's nothing.
Surely you're not trying to play on my mercy.
Not even Goku could be that naïve.
I commend you for putting up a good struggle.
But I won't stop until I've had my revenge
and you're in far too many pieces to count!
Yes. You're so close!
Uh...!
What? Beerus?
That not's polite, Frieza, you forgot to say "Lord."
Lord Beerus, that's what I meant!
But, uh, what are you doing here?
Well I would have thought that was obvious.
I stopped by to eat this fantastic sundae.
But--But Lord Beerus, I came here for vengeance,
are you planning to intervene?
Now why would I possibly care about that?
You're free to do as you please, Frieza.
But just do it farther away from my ice cream.
I don't want to confuse your combat dust for sprinkles.
Then you seriously didn't come to stop me?
I just told you to do as you please.
I'm a Destroyer god. I'm not here to take sides.
Hold on! You mean you'd really let Frieza win?
It's not my fight, is it now?
What're you talking about?
If Frieza wins, he'll kill us all!
As long as you keep supplying me with fine delicacies like this,
I'll make sure that your life is spared, at least.
You just stay close to me.
Bulma. Is that actually Lord Beerus the Destroyer?
Do you think you can get a quick picture
You're more than welcome to ask him yourself, Jaco.
But don't blame me if the guy disintegrates you.
Uh, never mind.
Well, then. Want to pick which limb I take first
or shall I surprise you?
You sure you want to keep going?
You're better off leaving on a high note, while you still can.
You just got a new life, and I'd hate for you to waste it.
You can't think I'd retreat with victory so close at hand.
What sort of fool do you think I am?
Kakarot, I'll take my turn now, if you want.
Aw, come on! That's not fair!
The only reason you're volunteering now is 'cause
you see his weakness too!
See my weakness?
This is truly becoming a farce!
I hurl you through cliff sides and you want to
talk about my weakness?
Fine, I'll play along.
What is my fatal shortcoming?
It's not affecting you yet, Frieza, but it's about to.
You're too eager for revenge, that's why you'll fail.
Let me take a wild guess about your training.
You bolted to Earth the moment you achieved this
new golden form of yours, didn't you?
And so what if I did? What's your point?
Your new form is burning through more power
than your body can supply.
You should've waited until you were used to
this form and knew how to regulate it
before you started picking fights.
Hm! Is that what you cling to? Well in that case...
I'll just stop wasting my time and kill you right now!
Huh?!
Eh!
W-What the--?
Mmm.
Interesting. The Saiyans' prediction is coming true,
and the tables are starting to turn.
Did you really think I wouldn't notice?
That was my strawberry you so casually devoured.
That's a lie and you know it!
How many have you had?
I've eaten three.
But I've only had two of them.
Nice try, my lord, but I know that you've had four.
There were eight to begin with and I am capable of math.
You're forgetting something.
I am the diety, Whis.
Eh...
Ka...
me...ha...me...
Ha!
I'll send it back.
Oh yeah!
See? I told you you'd run out of gas.
Now take my advice and get out of here.
And live to fight another day.
I'll be here for a rematch when you're ready, I promise.
Damn you!
Why? Why?
This shouldn't be happening!
I am Lord Frieza!
Huh?
Exemplary marksmanship, Sorbet.
Uh! Thank you, I live to serve!
Good thing for contingency plans, right Goku?
As if I'd allow even the slightest chance
of losing to you again!
Hmmm...
Goku!
Wake up. Torture's no fun if I can't hear you scream.
You know, I did try to warn Goku this might happen.
Clearly a dirty move by Frieza, but effective.
You have to give him that.
Your obsession with showing me leniency
borders on the pathological!
You're too strong for your own good,
it's made you overconfident!
A fearless fool who insists on second chances
and habitually lowers his guard.
"Here lies one of the strongest mortals in the Cosmos,
felled by a common ray gun!"
How pitiful does that feel?
Now you're the one on the ground facing defeat.
You won the battle but then you lost the war.
And the dream I clung to in that damned cocoon
is finally at hand!
Now to pick the fruit of my labor--
the fruit called revenge!
Ooh, now there's an interesting thought.
We could make this moment so much more delectable!
Oh, Vegeta, come down here for a second!
Wouldn't you like to do it?
I know you despise this Saiyan underling
for daring to be so uppity.
So I'll let you kill him to prove you've realized
your folly and re-pledge your loyalty, like the old days.
Do it and I'll spare you, at least.
Vegeta, no!
Shut your mouth, woman!
Hey. I really botched this one, huh?
Whis tried to warn you and yet here you are.
I guess you always will be a naïve idiot.
Thanks for the offer, but I can't.
it's our rivalry that keeps pushing me to get stronger.
I can't afford to kill him.
What if I sweeten the deal?
Take Goku's life and I'll appoint you
the Supreme Commander of the entire Frieza Force.
Of course I know at the moment it only consists of Sorbet,
but we'll rebuild it stronger than ever!
You would make me your Supreme Commander?
Is that a real offer?
Should I take that as a "yes"?
Damn it. Now I may actually regret this...
Huh...?
But I've already made my decision.
I'm going to pulverize you until there's nothing left.
Ah! You dare say that to me?
Use your head. Do you actually think I would
stay loyal to you after you blew up the planet
I was destined to rule?
Well, I wonder what the prince would do if he knew
you authorized Planet Vegeta's destruction from the start?
Shh! Keep that under wraps!
Get down here, Krillin.
Your buddy Kakarot needs a Senzu Bean.
He's fading fast.
Okay, I'm coming!
Oh, I don't think so!
What the--?!
He's wasn't kidding. You're in bad shape.
Good thing that space cop didn't want his.
Thanks, Vegeta. You really saved my neck!
Ha! You can thank me by staying out of this fight
from now on. I'm finishing this!
Yeah, of course! It's your turn anyway. Have fun!
Please. If you believe you can defeat me,
then you're more delusional than ever!
That's right. You had no idea, did you?
I've been a Super Saiyan for years, and now...
I too have the power of a god.
Uh!
You of all people should know this about me.
But I don't share Kakarot's taste for forgiveness.
I'm sending you back to Hell.
Ha, ha. Your threats are as empty as your title.
All hail Vegeta, prince of no one!
No, this can't be real! This is not the way this ends!
At least try to face your death with some honor.
And don't dream of resurrecting again.
You can all go to Hell without me!
What?!
Uh-oh. Whis, quickly!
Right!
No. How could anyone be that evil?
There's nothing left. He destroyed the Earth!
Vegeta. Trunks. Mom and Dad. They're all gone.
No. That heartless tyrant.
He couldn't just die. He took the whole planet with him.
You're wrong.
I'm afraid Frieza is most likely alive.
His species is able to surviving in a vacuum.
Tactically speaking, that was a pretty ingenious move.
It's not fair. He took everything!
The Dragon Balls were destroyed as well,
so we can't even summon Shenron.
There's no way we can reverse what Frieza's done.
This is my fault.
Damn! Frieza was right about me!
I should have finished him off when I had the chance!
Agreed. Then are you ready to make this right?
Huh?
You failed to protect your planet
because of your own leniency.
The only way to avoid this outcome
is to send Frieza back to his flower garden.
What? But isn't it too late for that?
Not quite. I can turn back time, remember?
Three minutes is as far back as I'm able to manage.
That do-over thing...
Temporal Do-Over.
You actually paid attention for once!
No, this can't be real! This is not the way this ends!
At least try to face your death with some honor.
And don't even dream of resurrecting again.
You can all go to Hell without me!
Frieza!
What? No!
Ha!
Damn you, Goku!
Whew, I guess we're safe now.
Selfish glory-hog! Do you have any shame?
Hey, just take it easy, Vegeta.
It's not what it looks like.
I can explain, okay?
Oh no, you're not smooth-talking your way
out of this one, Kakarot!
You told me it was my turn!
It's all right, Vegeta!
Goku just saved you and the whole world!
You should be thanking him!
What does she mean? Saved the world from what?
I want answers!
That's right, we time-traveled.
I was worried about you, Dad.
...just don't call me funny-looking, okay?
Well who would have thought?
I'm not sure I can live this down.
What sort of Destroyer helps bring a world back to life?
We can't thank you enough. And don't worry,
you'll get plenty of food out of this.
We'll throw you a huge feast.
Right after we track down the Dragon Balls
and put North City back together, that is.
I look forward to it greatly.
That is the real reason I turned back time
to save your world, you know.
You sure you don't want to arrest him?
Manipulating time is a serious Galactic offense.
Oh, my official response is that I didn't see anything.
Keep walking. I'm not going to thank you.
This just means we're even.
Take it easy, I didn't come to talk about that.
I'm just curious what you think about Whis saying
if we'd team up in these battles then people like Frieza
wouldn't even have the chance to knock us out.
Should we practice fighting together
in case we need to sometime?
Hmph. I'd rather die than ever do that again.
Glad to hear it, Vegeta. I feel the same way!
'Bout time we agree on something.
Welcome home!
No!
- Yay! - No!
