1. Behold the Ginyu Force!, before the battle
45 linesSeeking a new set of Dragon Balls, Bulma, Krillin and Gohan journeyed to Planet Namek, home of Kami and Piccolo. Unfortunately for our heroes, their destination had become a heated battleground for the power-hungry Frieza and Vegeta...
And then... Having stolen six Dragon Balls from Frieza's ship, all Vegeta required was the seventh and final Dragon 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 power...
Hey! Grand Elder Guru's saying there's another presence nearing the planet!
What?
It's Goku! Goku finally made it!
Really? Are you sure...?
Because I'm sensing more than one Ki source...
No... The Ginyu Force!
That scum Frieza! He summoned the Force to Namek!
The Ginyu Force?
Listen. 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 they would soon be faced with Frieza's secret weapon, the Ginyu Force, which had finally arrived on Namek.
Recoome!!!
Burter!!!
Jeice!!!
Guldo!!!
Ginyu!!!
Together we are... the Ginyu Force!
Y-Yes, you certainly are.
Thank you!
Give us a command and it shall be so.
That backstabbing Vegeta stole the Dragon Balls I collected and fled.
Make him suffer without killing him, then bring him here. I want to torture him until he tells me where the Dragon Balls are.
Our scouters have already picked up Vegeta's location.
Who do you suppose those two with him are? They seem to be quite formidable.
Those two runts who thwarted my plans before... So he's teamed up with them?
I want you to kill them.
Roger that! I will make it slow and painful.
See you soon, then!
And so the Ginyu Force took off on Frieza's command. The battle to decide the fate of the seven Dragon Balls was drawing near!
I sense them coming.
They're fast. Too fast, dammit!
2. Behold the Ginyu Force!, after the battle
17 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.
I never thought you'd be saving my skin one day, Vegeta...
Th-Thanks...
Don't get the wrong idea. It's not like I wanted to save you people.
It was just the perfect chance for me to get rid of that blasted Guldo.
Would you look at that? They put the boot to ol' Guldo!
Hmm... Not good.
Ah shucks... With one member down, our awesome fighting poses won't be so, well...
...awesome. We need to ask Captain Ginyu to come up with a new pose for four people.
Maybe later. Right now, we gotta decide who's gonna take on whom!
I've got dibs on Vegeta.
These guys seem a little peculiar...
This is where the nightmare really starts...
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!
Damn you!
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
13 linesWith unbelievable strength, Recoome of the Ginyu Force sent Vegeta and Krillin plummeting into the depths of despair and beat them to a pulp. And then his vile hand reached out for the young fighter Gohan!
I'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
4 linesPiccolo has certainly become more formidable since coming here.
But whether he can now defeat Frieza...
Wait for me, Gohan...!
While Piccolo awaited resurrection in the Otherworld, Gohan and company were faced with impending doom. Their struggle against the Ginyu Force seemed hopeless, but then...
7. Goku Finally Arrives!, before the battle
12 linesGoku had finally touched down on Planet Namek! He rushed onto the scene, bringing Gohan, Krillin and even Vegeta back from the brink of death with Senzu Beans.
Hey! Who the hell are you?!
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.
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?! F-Finish?!
I'll take care of them... by myself.
8. Goku Finally Arrives!, after the battle
9 linesSorry, but...
...you were wide open! My body practically moved on its own!
Y-You...puny...
...Huh...? D-Did Dad... beat him...?
N-No way... It can't be...
What?!
He's utterly surpassed Saiyan strength... A completely different fighter...
...from the one I fought on Earth... Is the legend true?! Is HE the 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
12 linesIn an instant, Goku defeated Recoome, who had nearly squashed Vegeta like a bug! Jeice and Burter couldn't hide their shock at the power of the mysterious fighter who suddenly appeared...
Wh-What the... What happened to Recoome?
That was only a tap!
What'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
37 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 rigorous training become apparent when the Saiyan instantly defeated Burter 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 returned to Frieza with a complete set of Dragon Balls in tow. With all seven Dragon 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 to track down the remaining Namekians. Leaving Ginyu to guard the Dragon Balls, he soared off into the distance...on a direct course for Grand Elder Guru's location!
Now...
No time to delay!
With Frieza now aware of Grand Elder Guru's presence, the situation had turned from bad to worse!
11. Guru in Peril, before the battle
27 linesFrieza finally detected the existence of Grand Elder Guru... Sensing Frieza's approach and motives, the elder sent Dende to inform Gohan and company of the password to call forth the eternal dragon from the Dragon Balls. And then...
May I help you?
Indeed. I have gathered all seven of your Dragon Balls, yet am having trouble fulfilling my wish.
I want you to tell me. How do I get my wish?
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 see. I guess it is true then.
He is certainly different from the other Namekians.
...!
I assume you, too, have no intention of revealing the secret of 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.
Very well. If you insist on being so stubborn...
I will show you the terrible power that I, the greatest in the universe, possess!
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...!
Nail continued to engage Frieza in mortal combat to protect Grand Elder Guru and buy time for Dende to reach Gohan and the others. Meanwhile, Goku and Vegeta were locked in a heated altercation of a different sort.
You could've finished Jeice! But what did 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. Better say your prayers if you plan on fighting.
And to make matters worse, he's probably used the Dragon Balls to gain immortality by now.
No... I don't think he's gotten eternal life yet...
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?!
Meanwhile, a rattled Jeice sought help from Captain Ginyu after fleeing the battlefield. Upon learning he lost three members, Ginyu exploded with rage.
HE'LL PAY!
I'll bury the cur personally! Get ready to witness a REAL fight! No, a funeral!
13. Captain Ginyu Arrives!, before the battle
27 linesAfter seeing Goku's overwhelming strength and fleeing, Jeice returned with his captain to take revenge. But just how powerful was the captain of the Ginyu Force?
You really pulled a number on us earlier!
But now the cap's here to kill you all kinds of dead!
H-He's here...
Well, Goku? Think we can win again?!
Won't know till we try.
Looks like he's in a whole other league.
This is him? I sense a power level around 5,000.
That's right. It's a mere 5,000. Strange, isn't it?
If you only look at the scouter reading, you're in for a rude awakening.
I estimate his true power to be around 60,000...
He's a Saiyan! No Saiyan ever got anywhere near 60,000!
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. Use the Dragon Radar to track down 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!
Ha! It is indeed! So long, Kakarot!
Vegeta?!
An opening!!!
Vegeta... I bet he's planning to swipe the Dragon Balls while I'm busy here.
Better wrap this up quick. I can't let things get worse after they just got better!
14. Captain Ginyu Arrives!, after the battle
27 linesPower level 180,000?!
Is this real?! Is this your power?!
N-No wonder he creamed us...
Even the captain's top strength is 120,000... But...how could a Saiyan c-come this far?!
Let me tell you just one more thing...
This is nothing compared to when I use my power in bursts!
You...You must be...the legend!
The Super Saiyan!
Vegeta said something about that too.
I wish somebody would explain it.
The...Super Saiyan?! The mightiest fighter... in the cosmos?!
The legendary Super Saiyan... The only thing... that Lord Frieza ever feared?!
Do you see? You can't win. I don't want to waste time fighting.
You'd better leave this planet.
Wh-What...?! The legend of the Super Saiyan holds that he will love bloodshed and battle above all!
...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?!
What in the...
Why am I over there?!
In a last-ditch attempt at victory, Ginyu used his special technique, "Body Change", to swap bodies with Goku. With the Saiyan warrior's immense strength at Ginyu's fingertips, have the tables been turned on our heroes?
Jeice! Let's head back to the ship.
Lord Frieza's due back any moment now.
This is bad.
We're...or should I say, they're bound to run into Gohan and Krillin!
15. Body Change, before the battle
23 linesVegeta, having abandoned Goku moments earlier, arrived at Frieza's ship. But the all-important Dragon Balls eluded him, as they'd been hidden by Ginyu and Jeice.
The Dragon 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
51 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!
CHANGE!!!
Nailed it! I can go back to my old body!
The hell?!
No! Get outta the way!
Hehehe...
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.)
Hm?
That's it!
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 heart of 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.
Bring him aboard the ship.
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 the dragon from the hitherto dormant Dragon Balls? The clash on Namek was at last nearing its final act...
