Cataclysmic Clash! Final Showdown with Frieza (2024)

We need to move the Dragon Balls without Vegeta knowing!

That way, even if he notices the dragon's been summoned, we'll still have some time to spare!

Well, well...

It would seem you're not a complete waste of space after all.

Hurry up and transform already, Frieza!

What's the wait? Get it over with and show your true form!

Oh, my! Someone's done their homework.

And just how did you know about that, hm?

Let's just say your lackey Zarbon isn't very tight-lipped!

I'm impressed... You have quite the power lying within you... That's quite a shame.

If only you were whole again, then you may have been able to defeat even Frieza...

Are you telling me that if I assimilated with Kami again, I'd get even stronger?!

Exactly... Frieza overwhelmed me. However, I got a chance to gauge his strength.

Sorry to say but I can't help you on that front.

I have no intention of becoming one with that guy ever again!

Then assimilate with me!

I am the last remaining warrior-type Namekian left on this planet...

Interesting proposi- tion, but I'm gonna have to decline!

I don't want to share my personality with anyone else.

You need not worry... Your personality will remain yours.

I will simply act as a catalyst so that you can obtain further power...

Fine... Let's give it a shot.

P-Promise me... that you'll defeat... Frieza...

You don't have to ask. I was planning on doing just that.

At least, if I can... I've got my own reasons.

What amazing power! I never expected this much more strength!

Wow... Turns out assimilation is worth it, after all!

There exist beings in the universe who are able to change form to suit their needs...

Whether it be for camouflage or to conserve energy...

But my case is rather different...

I assume this form because I have so much power, I can barely control it!

Tsk, it's a bluff. He won't get much stronger.

When I attacked Planet Vegeta, I subdued the planet without even needing to transform!

Listen here, Vegeta... You pose no threat to me, just like your father before you.

Don't go getting cocky just because you beat him.

I surpassed my father when I was still but a child!

Careful now... I'm through playing gentle. I just have too much power at my disposal now, you see...

My power level would be over 1 million by now if you were to measure it...

(pant...pant...) (huff...)

Seems you're not just some useless twerp, after all...

Still, unlucky for you that you have me as your opponent... All you did was make me even angrier.

He should be bleeding out right now! How is...?!

Curses! Now this rat is standing again!

But why?! I knocked him right to death's door!

Thanks to his Saiyan lineage, his power level surged after his recovery from the brink of death.

Luck seems to have turned in our favor, even if only slightly...

Piccolo!!!

Sorry to keep you waiting.

...

So that's Frieza, eh?

Looks about right... Fits the description of a terrifying monster from top to bottom.

And here I was thinking all the Namekians had been erased.

However, it seems that you are different to the others I killed. You don't seem like a pushover.

Let's do this... Time to clean up some space garbage...

You're a tough one, alright...

...

W-Wow! Piccolo is amazing!

Feel the pain of all the Namekians you killed!

You seem to be misunderstanding. Do you think this is my full strength?

What did you say?!

Heh... So you are unaware that I possess the ability to transform, after all...

How about I teach you a lesson, too? It's time you learned true fear!

Transform?

Every time I transform, my power further heightens, you see.

And I have two more transformations left. Catch my drift?

Wait... But that's impossible!

Oh, is it now? Well, feel honored! For you will be the first to witness this transformation!

Now feast your eyes! You are about to witness Lord Frieza's second transformation!

Phew... Sorry to keep you waiting...

Now, then... How about we begin round two, eh?

(pant...pant...) (huff...)

How strange... This brat didn't have this much power before... He's nothing like he was before I almost killed him...

Of course! He must be a Saiyan too!

You've gotten stronger, Gohan...

I'm... proud of you...

But, Piccolo... It's impossible...

I put everything I had into fighting him... But it didn't so much as faze him one bit!

I can't allow even one Saiyan to live... Not that I believe in the ridiculous legend...

...like the so-called "Super Saiyan"... Still, I'd rather finish the job completely.

I can tell... I just need to face death once more, then I WILL become a Super Saiyan! I am sure of it!

All I need is that Namekian brat who can heal me afterwards...

Now, then! Killing you will be a simple affair even in this form!

But before I do, I will show you something even scarier than death... My ultimate strength!

He must be joking... He surely can't get even stronger...

Feast your eyes while you can! I will show you my final transformation...

Behold... my true form!

Come on, then! I'm waiting, Frieza!

I have just this moment to become a Super Saiyan!

Ngh... Dammit, Frieza!

His power... His Ki is out of this world...!

Let this be a lesson not to judge a book by its cover...

I'd prefer any of his other transformations to this...

Now none of you will be coming back to life.

No! Dende!!!

Dammit!

He realized Dende was the one who had been healing us!

You weaklings.

Go sit back and watch, got it?

Vegeta... Do you really think you can beat this monster?

That's some confidence you have, dear Vegeta...

Or did I frighten you so much that you've simply lost your mind?

Laugh while you can, Frieza.

After all, I have become what you fear most... A Super Saiyan!

...

Ha ha ha... You never were a good one with jokes.

Let me be frank with you, you will not be able to beat me at your current strength.

A Super Saiyan? Don't make me laugh! That's just some baseless legend!

Ngh... So this... is my limit...!

No...! I refuse to believe it!

I'm stronger than before! I can feel new strength welling up within me!

I'm coming, guys! Just hang on!!!

Sorry I'm late, guys. Thanks to you, I'm feeling a whole lot better.

You can leave the rest to me.

So you're Frieza, huh?

Somehow you're smaller than I was expecting...

Another vermin still lurking about...

Vegeta and I promised to fight each other again.

That means I called first dibs.

...

Hmm...? Something's familiar about this one...

Wait... Kakarot...?! But that name means... You're a Saiyan!

Ah...!

I refuse to allow even one Saiyan to live!

You're quite the fool. You should have just accepted your fate.

Maybe you're right...

Frieza! You'd better pull out all the stops! This time, I'm certain he's the one you fear the most...

That's right... A Super Saiyan!

Frieza... Prepare to meet your maker!

It's time for you to suffer!

I told you already...

I don't want to hear any of your pitiful attempts at humor.

Hey! Vegeta can barely move! He can't even fight back right now!

What's the point in finishing him off?!

You're still as soft- hearted as ever, Kakarot... You ought to toughen up a little!

Throw away that sentimentality and you could become... a Super Saiyan!

Sorry, but I can't be as cold as you are, no matter what.

Not only that, I don't even know what this Super Saiyan is supposed to be...

Well, let me tell you, Kakarot... Ngh... Gagh!

Don't say anymore! It's just worsening your condition!

No, listen to me, Kakarot... Our homeworld, Planet Vegeta...

It wasn't a meteor that wiped it and our people out...

You talk a lot for someone who got shot through the heart.

You still intend to prattle on?

It was him! Frieza blew it up! He destroyed the planet...

...of the very Saiyans who'd been working under him, doing as he commands!

...!

Everyone but us was killed... Your parents... My father, the king...

Frieza feared the birth of a Super Saiyan who would arise from our race...

Hmph... You talk too much.

So, please... I beg you... Defeat Frieza... Please...

He must...die... by a...Saiyan's... hand...

...Vegeta...

For you to shed tears... not to mention asking for my help... It must've really hurt you...

I never thought he'd stop his babbling.

Now then... Let us resume the show.

Vegeta... I never really liked you... But I could sense your Saiyan pride...

Now if you don't mind, I think I'll borrow some of it myself...

...

I am...a Saiyan raised on the planet Earth!

Now, for the sake of all the Saiyans you killed, and also all the Name- kians you slaughtered...

I will put an end to you!

Hey! You ain't gonna dust anymore planets!

You are tenacious...

Even I'm starting to grow impatient.

Yeah? That makes two of us.

Heh heh heh...

Let's put an end to the warmup, shall we? I think it's time for me to go full throttle...

You and me both.

You ARE strong...

Surprisingly so, in fact. Worthy of my acknowledgement...

Gee, thanks.

But I've begun to tire of this fight. I was thinking about settling this soon.

But I will ask you this first... How do you feel about working for me?

Now I KNOW you've gotta be joking...

Did you really think I'd say yes to that?!

To be honest, no.

Very well... That leaves you only one path out of this... Death.

You sure about that? I won't tap out that easily.

You are a confident one. But you can't fool me.

Despite saying you would fight me at full strength, you still have some power left in reserve.

Noticed, huh?

But even so... By my calculations,

I'd wager about 50% of my max power would be more than enough to turn you into cosmic dust.

Oh? That's quite the bold claim...

One bluff too many, if you ask me.

I've had a lot of fun. It's been quite some time since I've had such a workout.

Oh man! It didn't faze him in the slightest!

He wasn't bluffing after all... He really was only using half of his power...

Grr... That was close... Just where did he get all this power from...?

...I'll teach that Saiyan...!

You're not as lively as you were earlier.

Have you already used up all your power?

Ngh... He's right... I barely have any strength left...

Looks like...using the 20x Kaioken...was a bad idea after all...

So, it would appear we've reached the end.

Are you about ready to die now, hm?

...

If we don't do any- thing, then Frieza's going to kill Dad...!

I can't sit by and watch any longer! I'm fighting too!

Wait! Look! Goku's planning something...

Wh-What in tarnation...? But...he's got such little power left...

...?

It's the Spirit Bomb!

Please... Planet Namek and all other planets around it, I'm begging you...!

Give me your energy, even if it's just a little...!

The Spirit Bomb was the one move I didn't want to use... It's so powerful, it has the potential to destroy the planet.

But if I don't stop Frieza right here and now, the universe will be in danger. I've...gotta do it.

What's he doing? Probably got some kind of useless scheme cooking up.

What could he hope to achieve when he's barely able to stand?

The one big drawback of this move is how long it takes to gather the required Ki...

Please...! Just a bit longer! Don't look up...!

What's taking so long?! Hurry up Goku! Is the Spirit Bomb still not ready?!

Frieza looks about ready to blow his lid!

Do it, now!!!

Dad! Piccolo! I'm so glad you're alright!

Gohan... Sorry for worrying you.

Let's go home. If we go in the spaceship I used to get here, it should take five days to reach Earth.

Namek is in pretty bad shape, I must say...

But hopefully Grand Elder Guru and all the others will be able to rest in peace now with Frieza gone...

Huh? Wait, Piccolo, how do you know about Grand Elder Guru?

No... No...!

Piccolooo!

Even I thought I was done for...

You managed to put me on the ropes...

As if! What do you take us for?! We can't just abandon you!

You think I'd allow them to waltz their way out of here? Not one of you leaves this planet alive...

I may have suffered a little damage, but I am still capable of eradica- ting vermin like you!

Ngh... Waaaah!

Gokuuu!

...!

Heh heh heh...

So...who's next? The child, perhaps?

Y-You're not... gonna get away with this...

I just...won't... let you...

D...Dad...?

Wh... What the...?!

Gohan...

Take Piccolo and return to Earth! He's alive, but barely.

Uh...Uhh...

Get out of here while I still have some control over myself!

O... Okay...!

What the... He's transformed...?

But I thought Saiyans could only turn into apes... What's going on?!

Just go already, Gohan! If Piccolo dies, so will Kami! And you know what that means, don't you?!

Don't worry about me! I will return to Earth, later. I promise!

B-But... How will you?

Stop with the ques- tions! Just listen to me and go!!!

...Thank you, Dad...

Thank...you...

...

I'll be waiting...

Waiting until you come home safe and sound...

Bwa ha ha ha!

You really think I'd allow you to escape just like that?

Enough's enough, you monster...

Your reign of terror ends here. No more innocent people...

...will die because of you! ...Like Krillin...

Grk!

Wh...Why! You...filthy Saiyan...

Dad...I get it now... Vegeta was right all along, wasn't he?

You did it Dad. You've finally become...a Super Saiyan!

It's over!!!

Frieza!!!

I can't show you any mercy... Not anymore...

...What... are you...?!

Tch! Like you don't already know! I'm a Saiyan who came all the way from Earth for the purpose of defeating you!

I am the legendary warrior, with a pure heart awakened by rage...

...! I can hardly believe it...

But it seems you really ARE a Super Saiyan.

...

This is the greatest shame I've had to bear!

To think that he... That a SAIYAN would...!

It's over, Frieza.

Let me tell you this... I'd rather kill myself than let myself die by your hands...

...

Do as you please.

But I won't be dying! It will be YOU who dies here today.

I can survive in outer space! But what about a Saiyan such as yourself?!

This planet is finished!

Tch!

I held back too much!

That's because you were scared of killing yourself too. Serves you right!

And thanks to that, here I am, alive and well.

Alive and well, you say? Hmph, yes, the planet may have avoided an explosion, but its core remains unstable.

In just five minutes, an explosion will occur that will blow this planet to smithereens!

Five minutes is more than enough.

I'm going to beat you, then escape this planet with my friends.

Oh, sweet delusion... The one with a hope of surviving is me, not you.

The time has finally come to show you... 100% of my power! Your defeat is nigh!

Why did you wait until now to show your full power?

I get it now... Your body can't handle the strain of using all your strength for sustained periods.

...

I won't let you buy time for yourself!

I'll put an end to this once and for all!

You persistent little monkey... Hmph, very well!

This time I will pulverize you, like I did to that pathetic human!

Like that pathetic human...?

Are you talking about Krillin...?

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT KRILLIN?!

This planet is already shrinking... Either you die by my hand or the planet's.

Either way, as you can't breathe in space, your death is inevitable.

Maybe you're right...

I quit.

What...What did you say?!

You QUIT?! What's that supposed to mean?!

Your Ki has started slowly dwindling ever since the moment you started using your full power.

So what would be the point in prolonging the fight?

...!

I'm over it. There's no point beating you now that you're trembling in fear for your life.

You may continue living as you are, but know this Frieza: you'll be living with that shock forever etched in your heart.

...Y-You...

Give up evil... for good.

I don't want to see your face ever again.

P-Pah... Cease this foolishness!

I will NEVER lose!!

I will NEVER lose!!

You really are a fool to the very end.

Don't say I didn't give you a chance to survive this...

Agh... Ngraaagh!

You dug your own grave, but this end is an unfitting one, even for you...

Grr... Dammit...! Damn it all!

Now if you don't mind, I'll head back to Earth...

And you will die alongside the planet you chose to destroy.

There. I gave you some of my Ki...

You should at least be able to move, even in that state. But now you're on your own!

Well... Color me surprised.

To think...that you would actually grant me some of your energy...

You said you can survive even in space, right? Better leave this planet while there's still time.

Live, and learn to cherish life from now on!

Planet Namek is already about to explode... Where are you going to go?

No matter where you go, space will kill you in the end. The only thing awaiting you is death!

You're right. There's no time for me to return to the spaceship I came in.

So I thought I'd take yours instead.

Ha ha ha! Vegeta already wrecked it. You'll never get it off the ground!

Oh, the sweet irony... You won the fight, and yet it is you who will die, while I survive!

...

I will not die here.

I am the strongest in the universe! Which is why...

Which is why you must die by my hands!

...

The planet's gonna blow!

Dammit! AAAHHH!
