1. Behold the Ginyu Force!, before the battle
38 linesThe unlikely trio of Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma embarked for Namek, home world to Kami and Piccolo, where a new set of Dragon Balls awaited. Unfortunately for our heroes, their destination was to become a heated battleground for the power-hungry Frieza and Vegeta...
Having stealthily relocated six Dragon Balls from Frieza's ship, all Vegeta required was the seventh and final Ball, leading him to Gohan and Krillin. Meanwhile, several immense energies were closing in on the planet, signaling yet another shift in the already tumultuous balance of powers...
Hey! The Grand Elder said someone or something is headed straight for Namek!
What?!
It's Goku! It's gotta be! About time too!
You think? Wait...
I'm sensing more than one presence.
No... The Ginyu Force!
That scum Frieza! He summoned the Force to Namek!
The Ginyu Force?
Listen and listen well. The Ginyu Force is comprised of warriors with equal... no, perhaps GREATER strength than I. And there are five to contend with!
They'll zero in on our location with their latest scouter models and come to kill us within minutes!
What... How can that be...
Can you not sense the power they possess?! There's only one way we're getting out of this ordeal alive.
Use the Dragon Balls. Make me immortal. I'll leave their collective corpses in a smoking crater!
What he's saying might be true.
I sense five powers total. All evil.
...I-In that case, why not make Gohan immortal?!
The half-pint may have power but his combat experience is virtually nil!
B-But that would mean... we came all this way for nothing!
The Dragon Balls can grant three wishes.
Meaning you'll still be able to make a wish or two, too.
Wow, three wishes?!
We're wasting time!
We'll all be dead if we don't act fast!
Faced with a threat of unprecedented proportions, Gohan and Krillin formed a temporary pact with Vegeta. But Frieza's top-secret weapon, the Ginyu Force, were inching ever closer...
Recoome!
Burter!
Jeice!
Guldo!
Ginyu!
Together we are... the Ginyu Force!
Y-Yes, you certainly are.
Thank you for summoning us, my lord.
Give us a command and it shall be so.
The Force's orders were thus: seek out the traitorous Vegeta and retrieve the stolen Dragon Balls...
I sense them coming.
They're fast. Too fast, dammit!
2. Behold the Ginyu Force!, after the battle
14 linesThough Gohan and Krillin fought well, Guldo's abilities proved too much. Frozen in place, it seemed the end was near for the valiant duo... until Vegeta entered the fray, putting a permanent end to the green trickster.
You're the last person I thought would come to our rescue! Heh heh.
Thanks, Vegeta.
This is no time for celebration!
The real fight starts now! Don't expect any more free shots.
You seeing this? Veggie boy just offed poor Guldo!
This isn't good.
It's downright terrible, that's what it is!
We had pose-strikin' down to a science! How are we gonna make jaws drop with just FOUR members? Aesthetic blasphemy, I tell ya!
Now's where the hard work really begins...
Meanwhile, having completed an intense training regimen at 100 times Earth's gravity, Goku was now moments away from landing on Namek...
T-minus ten minutes until arrival.
They say this Frieza's even stronger than Vegeta...
Don't die on me, guys!
3. Relentless Recoome, before the battle
11 linesWell, vegetable head...
WE'RE up to bat now!
Tch...
You. Tiny tots. Feel free to help out ol' Vegeta here, okay?
And do what you gotta. You won't catch me cryin' "cheater," no sirree!
For the love of, Don't kill the KIDS, Recoome!
...'Cause WE'RE gonna kill them! Bah ha ha ha!
Those snarky... They're already writing us off as dead!
Recoome here, ready to rock!
Hyah!
Haaaaaa!
4. Relentless Recoome, after the battle
11 linesSneaky sneaky! I'll give you points for creativity!
But unfortunately for you... now you've gone and ticked me off.
...!
Yo, Burter! Jeice!
I call dibs on these two! That cool?
Ugh. Fine.
But dessert's on you later, capisce? I want a parfait! Chocolate!
Heh heh heh...
End of the line for you, maggots!
Grr...
Even the combined efforts of a powered-up Vegeta, Gohan, and Krillin were not enough to faze the towering power of Recoome. Was there a way out of this lethal predicament...?
5. Imminent Showdown, before the battle
12 linesI'm... the son of... Goku!
I won't lose to the likes of you!
Well, ain't that precious? You still have the strength to talk gibberish!
We'll just have to fix that!
Gohan!
He's in danger!
You sense something on your distant home world, I see.
Unfortunately, you aren't strong enough to help.
...
...Train, Piccolo.
Right now, that's the best way for you to contribute.
Hmph. I don't need you telling me that.
6. Imminent Showdown, after the battle
5 linesWait for me, Gohan...!
While Piccolo awaited resurrection in the Otherworld, Gohan and friends were staring death in the maw. Their struggle against the Ginyu Force seemed hopeless, until...
Destination reached. Welcome to Planet Namek.
Gohan, Krillin. Hang on, I'm coming!
Time to show 'em what I can do after training in 100x gravity!
7. Goku Finally Arrives!, before the battle
12 linesFinally, Goku had touched down on Planet Namek! He rushed onto the scene, bringing Gohan and Krillin back from the brink with Senzu Beans.
Miss me? Sorry to keep you waiting.
Th-These guys are packing some real power, Goku. I know you can feel it too.
Even Vegeta couldn't hold a candle to them. Look!
Vegeta. Up to his old antics again, I see.
Still, he saved your skins in this fight, it seems.
And with that, Goku gave his third and final Senzu Bean to Vegeta.
I get that you're hoping to wail on this bruiser four-against-one, but trust me, even that won't,
Actually, no.
Being that Vegeta and I still have to finish our fight on Earth...
Huh?
... I'll be taking these guys down solo.
8. Goku Finally Arrives!, after the battle
11 linesSorry, but...
...you were wide open! My body practically moved on its own!
S-Son of a...
Dad... beat him?
Am I seeing straight?
Wh-What the... What happened to Recoome?
That was only a tap!
His strength has ascended far beyond that of any Saiyan.
Was the legend true after all?
Is Kakarot a Super Saiyan?!
The Super Saiyan, a being that commands awe from even Vegeta. But what is it exactly? And could Goku really have become one?
9. Showdown! Jeice and Burter, before the battle
9 linesWhat'll it be, guys?
Ready to go home to your own planet?
Hear that, Burter?
The twit's still got more nonsense to spout!
Apparently he thinks he defeated Recoome with strength.
Recoome got cocky. The punk snuck in a lucky shot, probably grazed a pressure point, and, boom.
It's called a fluke! The scouter shows his power level hardly changed.
We're the Ginyu Force, my friend. Cream of the crop! And you're about to see just why!
So that's a "no" to leaving, I take it.
10. Showdown! Jeice and Burter, after the battle
38 linesWhat the hell are you...?
A Saiyan... from Earth. So they say, anyway.
Stop screwing with me!
No Saiyan's that fast! None!
Maybe 'cause no Saiyan's ever trained on 100x gravity...
...until now.
F-Fine! But it takes more than speed to win a fight!
Flit about all you like!
Oh, I've got more than speed up my sleeve.
Wanna see?
The fruits of Goku's labor become painfully apparent to Burter when the Saiyan instantly overwhelmed him with overwhelming speed and power.
You don't stand a chance! Save yourself the trouble and give up.
Lug these guys into your ship and go home.
Th-This is some kinda bad dream!
He cleaned our clocks without breaking a sweat!
Hey! He's hightailing it!
What a piece of work, leaving his friends behind.
Meanwhile, Ginyu had returned to Frieza, a complete set of Dragon Balls in tow.
With all seven Balls now in Frieza's possession, would the villain's desire for immortality be fulfilled at last?
I didn't expect to have all seven so soon.
It was a good thing I summoned your squad, after all. A commendable job, Ginyu.
You do me a great honor with such praise, my lord.
Ho ho ho! It is rare I feel excitement such as this!
The emperor of the cosmos shall now reign for all time!
Dragon Balls!
I command you to grant me my wish, eternal life and youth!
...
...
N-Nothing's happening.
Are you immortal now, my liege?
I certainly don't feel any different.
Perhaps there's more to the process...?
There must be some sort of code, one only Namekians are privy to.
It seems we will require the help of the locals!
Unable to activate the Dragon Balls on his own, Frieza turned to his scouter in hopes of seeking Namekians to ask for advice. Leaving Ginyu in charge of the ship, he soared off into the distance... on a direct course for Guru's location!
Live or die...
The choice is yours!
With the evil emperor now aware of Guru's presence, the situation had turned from bad to worse!
11. Guru in Peril, before the battle
24 linesFrieza wasted no time in paying the ancient Namekian a personal visit. His aim: learn how to activate the Dragon Balls...!
Have you business with the Grand Elder?
Indeed. I have gathered all seven of your Dragon Balls, yet am having trouble fulfilling my wish.
However am I to activate them? Do tell.
Leave this place.
I will impart no such knowledge to villains.
Oh, one way or another, I think you will.
Ending your puny lives requires no effort whatsoever.
The Dragon Balls were made by none other than Grand Elder Guru himself.
Kill him and they will disappear!
...!
"Grand Elder," was it?
...
I assume you, too, have no intention of revealing the secret your precious Dragon Balls?
Perhaps the sweet screams of this one here will persuade you to consider otherwise.
It will take more than you think to make Nail concede.
He is not like my other children whom you so viciously brutalized.
You leave me with no choice but to test your claim.
Best of luck, Nail. Buy as much time as possible.
Yes, Grand Elder.
To think Namekians foolish enough to oppose me in direct combat still existed!
You'll regret not talking before your... punishment.
As you likely have noticed, the Grand Elder has little time left.
Surely you would not want our skirmish to hasten his departure. Let us take the fight elsewhere.
12. Guru in Peril, after the battle
27 linesTsk, tsk. You disappoint me.
(Pant...)
My advice to you? Talk while you still have the chance.
I would gladly... take death... before bending... to you...!
As Nail continued to engage Frieza in mortal combat, Goku and Vegeta were locked in a heated altercation of a different sort.
You could've finished Jeice! But what do you do?! Let him go! Ugh, you disgust me...
It seems you were unable to complete your transformation into a Super Saiyan.
Super Saiyan...?
You'll never beat Frieza as you are! Sentimental fool!
His terror is far beyond your puny powers of comprehension.
Hey now. I actually think I've gotten pretty strong.
You're saying I still don't stand a chance against this Frieza guy?
That's right. And to make matters worse, he's likely used the Dragon Balls to gain immortality by now.
I wouldn't count on that.
What?
Why? Explain!
If these Dragon Balls are anything like Earth's, the sky would have gotten all dark when Shenron appeared.
But the weather's been just fine. I don't think Frieza's made his wish... yet.
"Shenron," you say?
So when all the Dragon Balls come together, this Shenron appears?
I got it! He must not know the password!
Meaning we still have a chance to make our wish!
Password...?
There's a damn password?!
Back at Ginyu's, a rattled Jeice arrived seeking help. Upon learning he had lost three crewmen, Ginyu erupted with rage.
HE'LL PAY!
I'll bury the cur personally! Get ready to witness a REAL fight! No, a funeral!
13. The Captain Cometh!, before the battle
16 linesAlthough he had fled the scene after witnessing Goku's strength, Jeice returned once more with his captain, confidence renewed.
You really pulled a number on us earlier!
But now the cap's here to kill you all kinds of dead!
I can tell this will be a fight to remember.
It's not often I'm forced to reveal my true power, after all.
I'll handle the big guy.
Krillin, Gohan. You two round up the Dragon Balls.
Sure thing! C'mon, Gohan!
Right!
Vegeta. Think you can handle the red one?
Recovering after almost dying like that, you should be loads stronger.
Hmph! So you knew...
Okay! It's go time, Vegeta!
Ha! It is indeed! So long, Kakarot!
Vegeta?!
You're mine!
14. The Captain Cometh!, after the battle
27 linesI-It can't be...!
How are you THIS strong?!
Actually, I'm stronger.
I can generate even more power in short bursts. Much more!
D-Don't tell me you're...
...a S-Super Saiyan?!
You know, Vegeta was going on about the same thing.
What's a "Super Saiyan," anyway?
It's the only thing Lord Frieza fears... you're telling me this guy is it?!
Don't mean to rain on your parade, but this fight's pretty much over.
I'd rather not drag it out. Leave Namek. Now.
What's his deal? A Super Saiyan's appetite for carnage is second to none. They're the most savage warriors in all of space!
...I see. You haven't completed the transformation!
...?
Heh heh heh. So you're NOT a Super Saiyan, after all!
...That said, there's no denying you're strong. Your body will do just fine!
Say what?!
BODY CHANGE!
What in the...
Why am I over there?!
Mwa ha ha...
Thanks for the shiny new ride! I promise not to scratch it.
In a last-ditch attempt at victory, Ginyu used his special technique, the "Body Change," to swap bodies with Goku. With the Saiyan warrior's immense strength at Ginyu's fingertips, have the tables been permanently turned on our heroes...?
Jeice! Let's head back to the ship.
Lord Frieza's due back any moment now.
This is bad.
Ginyu's bound to run into Gohan and Krillin!
15. Body Change, before the battle
24 linesVegeta, having abandoned Goku moments earlier, arrived at Frieza's ship. The Dragon Balls eluded him, however, they'd been hidden by the cunning Frieza and Ginyu.
The Balls have got to be here somewhere.
No matter. If I can't find them, the Earthlings will with their radar contraption.
As predicted, Gohan and Krillin arrived, Dragon Radar in hand, unaware of the Saiyan predator poised to ambush. They set about quickly locating the hidden Dragon Balls.
The moment of truth, Gohan! This is why we traipsed across half the galaxy!
What say we take a look at the Namekian Shenron, eh?
Yeah! Finally, we can bring everyone back!
Come forth, Shenron! Grant us our wish!
...
...
Nothing! Nothing's happening!
And what the hell's this "Shenron" the cue ball referred to?
Uh oh. Shenron's not coming out.
But why not?!
Krillin! We've got company!
Goku! Man, you had me on edge. For a second, I thought you were Ginyu!
I take it you kicked his butt and made friends with Red there?
Heh heh...
Goku? You look... off. What's with the smirk?
And why do you have one of those scouter thingamajigs on?
Wouldn't you like to know?
Huh?
Watch out, Krillin!
That isn't my dad!
16. Body Change, after the battle
52 linesY-You won't get away with...
DIE!!!
Th-This is madness. Vegeta's too powerful.
Time to jump ship...
He's gonna do it again!
BODY CHANGE!
Nailed it!
I can go back to my old body!
The hell?!
No! Get outta the way!
Heh heh heh.
Home sweet home!
Mess up my plans will you?!
At last, Goku had regained his body. However, wounds sustained from Vegeta had immobilized him completely. It seemed it was too early for our heroes to breathe easy just yet...
No matter. I'll just try again!
Your body's mine, Vegeta!
Uh-oh. This isn't good...
If Ginyu gets a hold of Vegeta's body, it's game over for all of us.
(Ribbit. Ribbit.)
Huh?
That's it!
BODY CHANGE!
(Ribbit... Ribbit...)
Yes! It worked!
What the hell just happened?
You really put the boot to me, Vegeta...
What happened to Ginyu?! Tell me now, Kakarot!
Ginyu's got this weird body switch technique. I threw a frog in the mix and made it backfire.
See the slimy critter over there? That's Ginyu.
What?!
(Ribbit!! Ribbit!!)
He won't be causing any more trouble like that.
(Ribbit)
Oh, fine. I'll let him go.
From elite warrior to pond-dweller. I almost pity you, Ginyu.
Against all odds, Goku and team had triumphed against the Ginyu Force. But the damage Goku had sustained while doing so was nothing to be sniffed at...
Hwa ha ha...
Reducing you doddering fools to atoms would be child's play now!
Is there a speck of decency in that black heartof yours?
Don't worry, Krillin. He won't kill us yet. He can't.
Kakarot's right. There is the matter of the Dragon Balls...
But before that, Frieza. Fighting him will require your help. Kakarot's especially.
...
Right now, we need to treat Kakarot's wounds and get him back to full power.
There's a medical machine in Frieza's ship which can do just that. Follow me.
The machine's an old model, but it shouldn't take too long before Kakarot's back on his feet.
He's not gonna drown in there, is he?
As for you two, it's time to get you kitted out in battle armor.
It'll afford you some extra protection.
Battle armor? You mean like YOUR getup?
Eesh. I'm not so sure the villain look fits me...
Our heroes prepared for the coming battle with Frieza. But would they stand a fighting chance? And who would be the one to summon Shenron from the hitherto dormant Dragon Balls? The clash on Namek was at last nearing its final act...
