The true identity of Piccolo Jr. is finally recognized by the crowd, which flees in terror, and news of the discovery breaks on TV. Piccolo then uses a new technique to increase in size, and his fight with Goku continues.


[NARRATOR]
Last time on Dragon Ball,

the tournament grew more
intense when Junior struck

Goku where it hurt
the most, his pride.

[PICCOLO JR. chuckles]
Do you wanna know why you're

gonna lose this match?

Because of your
bleeding heart mercy.

You must make Kami very proud,
being his perfect stooge.

[GOKU growls]
I'll stop you!

[PICCOLO JR. cackles]

[PICCOLO JR. yells]

[KRILLIN]
Hey, wait, the Dragon Balls.

Goku, Kami's safety
doesn't matter!

[GOKU gasps]

[Using the power
of the Dragon Balls,

the dragon can heal his wounds.

Hey, you're right.
Why didn't I think of that?

[PICCOLO JR.]
Get out of my sight!

[GOKU]
Ka... Me... Ha... Me...

Ha!

[NARRATOR]
In a flash of blinding light,

the arena was struck by terror.

Goku's battle cry
shook the heavens.

And above, the crowd's
pandemonium gave way

to Junior's screams of horror!

[PICCOLO JR. screams]

[ROSHI grunts]

--[ALL groaning]
--[CHICHI coughs]

[ALL gasping]

Goku?

[GOKU]
Uh?

[GOKU panting]

[ALL sigh]

He won!

[KRILLIN laughs]

No. Look up.

[KRILLIN]
Huh?

[ANNOUNCER]
Huh?

[gasps]

Wha-? Somehow he survived,
but that's impossible!

[ALL gasp]

[PICCOLO JR. growling]

You have failed!

You thought your simple
parlor tricks could destroy me.

[PICCOLO JR. growls]

But as you can see,
I'm still here!

Yeah, I know. Are you going
to float up there all day,

or can we continue this fight?

[PICCOLO JR. growls]

Well, tick-tock.

I'm waiting, impress me.

[ALL gasp]

Uh...

I don't like this game.

[ANNOUNCER] Goku launched
a devastating attack that was

nothing short of spectacular!

However, either by extreme luck,
or extraordinary stamina,

Junior has survived,
and he doesn't seem happy.

Uh?! Uh...

He could use a new tailor.

Yep.

[ANNOUNCER] Uh... Yes, sir!
Things are getting tense.

[WOMAN gasps]

Sit down! I can't see.

Wh-What if...
What if they recognize him?

Well, then things are
gonna get a lot worse.

Ya know, that looks
like King Piccolo.

[CROWD]
Huh?

[PICCOLO JR. growls]

[PICCOLO JR. chuckles]

--Hey, that's King Piccolo.
--Huh?

King Piccolo? We're doomed!

--[MAN] He'll destroy us all!
--[PICCOLO JR. growls]

He looks mean with those horns.

And ugly.

Silence, you worms!

I am King Piccolo, reincarnated!

[KRILLIN groans]

Let it be known
throughout the world,

once I've disposed of Goku,
I will be your King once again!

Not only has King
Piccolo been reborn,

but his reign of terror as well!

[PICCOLO JR. laughs]

[gasping]

[PICCOLO JR. laughing]

[PICCOLO JR.]
Run!

[laughing continues]

Out of my way you, you idiot!

--[DRIVER yelps]
--[THIEF growls]

[KING]
What? Piccolo?

Yes.

[KING thinking]
The horror has returned.

[NEWSMAN] We interrupt your
regularly scheduled program

to bring you this
breaking story.

Our reliable sources have
confirmed that a contestant

at the 23rd World
Martial Arts Tournament

has declared himself
King Piccolo, resurrected!

[CROWD gasping]

[panting]

[THIEF B]
Outta my way!

[MOPED DRIVER]
That's my hog!

[ROSHI, YAMCHA gasping]

[ANNOUNCER stammers]

[PICCOLO JR. chuckles]

[gasping]

[BULMA whimpers]

[ANNOUNCER whimpers]

Attention, ladies and gentlemen,
if you can hear my voice, run!

It's true! The fighter known as
Junior is in fact King Piccolo!

--[LAUNCH] We're right here.
--[ANNOUNCER whimpers]

Break time's over.
No more distractions.

[GOKU]
Hm.

Go! Get out of here, all of you!

I can't do this if
you're still in danger.

Okay.

Sorry, looks like you've
lost your audience.

--[BULMA chuckles nervously]
--[ANNOUNCER whimpers]

[whimpers]

Goku, leave!

No, I have to fight.

Forget about destroying
this world.

I won't let it happen.

Why don't you reserve
passing judgment until

after you've seen
my latest technique?

What?

[PICCOLO JR.]
It's a real showstopper.

[PICCOLO JR. grunting]

[grunting continues]

[yells]

[yelling continues]

He's glowing.
That can't be good.

--[BULMA, OOLONG gasping]
--[PUAR screams]

[PICCOLO JR. growls]

What?!

[PICCOLO JR. grunting]

[PICCOLO JR. yells]

[ANNOUNCER whimpers]

Not good!

That's big.

[gasping]

Ah!

[ALL gasp]

[GOKU stammers]

[laughs]

[GOKU gasping]

Ha! From up here,
you look very small.

Incredible! How did you
make your clothes grow?

[ANNOUNCER whimpers]

Hey! Isn't that
against the rules?!

Uh, I'm afraid there's no
rule against getting bigger.

We left the rules
a long time ago.

Ah!

[grunts]

[PICCOLO JR. chuckles]

[yells]

--[PICCOLO grunts]
--[GOKU groans]

[ALL scream]

[GOKU grunts]

I'm allergic to flying debris!

[laughing]

--[GOKU grunts]
--[PICCOLO growls]

[PICCOLO JR. yells]

[GOKU]
Ah!

[PICCOLO JR. growls]

[GOKU grunting]

Nice speed.

[PICCOLO JR. yells]

Missed me!

[GOKU groans]

--[GOKU groaning]
--[PICCOLO pants]

--[YAMCHA] No!
--[TIEN gasps]

Goku, wake up!

[PICCOLO JR. growls]

[PICCOLO JR. chuckles]

Goku!

--[BULMA] Move!
--[LAUNCH] Hurry!

[PICCOLO JR. chuckles]

[GOKU groaning]

[ALL quiver]

Goku, let me help you!

[PICCOLO JR. grunts]

[GOKU]
No, don't.

Uh. Why?

I can't accept your help, not
without forfeiting the match.

[ALL]
Uh...

[chuckles] You'll forfeit
more than that, puny human,

by the time I'm
through with you!

Junior has achieved
quite a feat.

He's increased his size
without sacrificing his speed.

[GOKU] Your size
doesn't intimidate me,

and it won't help you!

Really, now are you
certain of that?

Oh yeah!

[PICCOLO JR. grunts]

[GOKU grunts]

--[GOKU grunts]
--[PICCOLO JR. groans]

[GOKU grunts]

Amazing.

--[GOKU grunts]
--[PICCOLO groans]

--[GOKU grunts]
--[PICCOLO gasps]

Goku!

Only he could do
something like that.

[PICCOLO JR. groaning]

[GOKU chuckles]

Goku's training must
have included a course

on how to defy
the laws of physics.

Huh?

After expelling a great deal of
energy on his Kamehameha Wave,

he managed to topple a giant.

You're right,
Master. I forgot.

He will win.

[PICCOLO JR. growls]
You insolent maggot.

[GOKU chuckles]

[PICCOLO JR. growls, yells]

--[PICCOLO JR. yells]
--[GOKU grunts]

[GOKU, PICCOLO JR. grunting]

That's it, get him!
Dodge, flip, spin, punch!

--[PICCOLO JR. yells]
--[GOKU grunts]

[GOKU grunting]

[PICCOLO JR. growls]

[GOKU grunts]

[PICCOLO JR. yells, groans]

[PICCOLO JR. groaning]

[GOKU groans]

[PICCOLO JR. chuckles]

[BOTH gasp]

[PICCOLO yells]

--[OOLONG] Watch out!
--[PUAR screams]

[stammering]

Goku!

[PICCOLO JR. grunting]

[PICCOLO JR. chuckles]

--[PICCOLO JR. chuckles]
--[GOKU muffled grunts]

He's been crushed!

Goku has been pinned
underneath Junior's foot!

That creep.

He was a great warrior.

[PICCOLO JR. grunting]

[ROSHI, KRILLIN]
Eh?!

[TIEN, YAMCHA gasp]

[PICCOLO groaning]

--[PICCOLO groaning]
--[GOKU grunting]

[GOKU grunting]

[YAMCHA]
C'mon, you can do it!

--[PICCOLO JR. growling]
--[GOKU grunting]

You can beat him, Goku!

--[PICCOLO JR. growling]
--[GOKU grunting]

[PICCOLO screams]

[PICCOLO groans]

[GOKU]
Mm.

[growls]
I hate you.

Ha, ha! I told ya your
size didn't matter.

It won't help you win the match.

All it really does is
make you a bigger target!

[PICCOLO JR. growls]

[PICCOLO JR. chuckles]

You think one lucky throw
is an accomplishment?

[GOKU gasps]

[PICCOLO JR. grunts, chuckles]

Why do I get the feeling
you're about to get taller?

[PICCOLO JR. grunting]

[PICCOLO JR. yelling]

[GOKU yells]

[PICCOLO JR. yelling]

--[ALL quiver]
--[ROSHI] Now that's big!

[PICCOLO JR. grunts]

[PICCOLO JR. chuckles]

What do you think?

We're in trouble.

[BULMA, PUAR gasping]

Goodbye.

Unbelievable!

He's as big as a volcano,
and he's about to erupt!

[PICCOLO JR. chuckles]

[ANNOUNCER]
Run for your lives!

Goku, come on! It's over!

[laughs]

Your friend is right!

[NARRATOR] Our hero's problem
just got a lot bigger.

Now that Junior is a giant,
is this the end for Goku?
