Epic Battle! The Mighty Ones of the Otherworld

Goku's noble sacrifice paved the way for Gohan to emerge victorious against the evil android Cell. Peace had returned to Earth once more. As for Goku...

King Kai! Know where I can find the strongest guy in the Otherworld?

What's that? You want to meet him?

Hmmm...

You bet I do! As soon as possible, in fact!

So that I can fight him! I HAVE to know how strong he is!

I'd approach with caution, Goku.

One misstep with the master, and you're in for a world of hurt!

Wow... Just how strong is this dude?

Ahem! My boy. My foolish, foolish boy. This is no "dude"!

This is a man to be revered. He is the most respected figure in the Otherworld... The Grand Kai!

Grand... Kai?!

The Grand Kai. Reigning at the top of all galactic quadrants, north, south, east, and west, his strength is unparalleled, as is the veneration he commands. An excited Goku departed for that very man's planet...

On Grand Kai's planet, Goku found many a warrior like himself, ones allowed to retain their physical bodies. There, they continued an endless regimen of afterlife training. Among them was Paikuhan of the West Galaxy.

This is Paikuhan, greatest warrior in the West!

Goku is credited with saving planet Earth in the North Galaxy. He's a real hero!

And strong as heck, might I add!

What?! You would vouch for this man?

Well, I suppose every quadrant needs a hero. But he can't compare to Paikuhan here, I assure you that much!

Dream on! Goku's way stronger.

I think not. Paikuhan is the superior of the two!

You're delusional... Care to find out how much?

You're on!

Wait!

That voice! It can only be the Grand Kai!

Yep, that's my name!

So this is the dude?

Sorry to stop you mid-squabble.

Hey, Paikuhan? Go to Hell.

Wh-What?

He meant literally Hell.

That's an actual place on our side of existence, remember?

There's a bit of a situation downstairs, and I need my boy Paikuhan's help.

What kind of situation?!

King Yemma hurled some guy named Cell into the ol' fire the other day.

Turns out he's quite the troublemaker! Already got a whole company of crooks working under him. Frieza's one of them.

Cell has...

Frieza working for him?!

Get down there and rough 'em up all nice-like, will you?

Paikuhan!

You can't do it alone. I'm coming with you!

Nothing gets through to you guys, huh? Not even in death!

You haven't won this war, simian!

Stop this nonsense, Frieza!

C-Curses...!

You still can't beat me. You can't even come close!

Hmm? And you are?

If you've come to defeat me, you will leave sorely disappointed. In fact... You won't leave at all.

Paikuhan, wait!

Cell isn't like the others! He's on a whole other level!

That was amazing, Paikuhan! Taking Cell down without breaking a sweat!

That oughtta keep 'em in line for a century or two.

Paikuhan of the West Galaxy...

I had no idea the Otherworld was home to fighters THIS strong... I'm pumped!

It seemed warriors with strength surpassing even Goku's could be found here, in the Otherworld. Having witnessed his new rival's prowess first-hand, Goku's fighting spirit burned brighter than ever...
