Dragon Ball (1995–2003): Season 9, Episode 25 - Goku Hangs On - full transcript

Piccolo charges up, stealing energy from everyone around him so that he can unleash a massive energy attack. Tien uses the Tri-Beam Cannon to create a shelter for all the non-participants to hide in, and the fight between Goku and Piccolo continues.


[growls] You really think
that you can beat me!?

[NARRATOR]
Last time on Dragon Ball...

[PICCOLO JR.]
Just be quiet!

[NARRATOR]
Ravaged and weary,

Goku continued his
fight against Junior

in the final match of the
World Martial Arts Tournament.

But it was clear to all,

this battle would determine
more than the new champion.

It would decide
the fate of mankind!

[GOKU]
Ah... Hm...

[NARRATOR] Goku's maneuver
left Junior seriously wounded,

but far from defeated.

The creature was determined
to destroy its foe at any cost.

[PICCOLO JR. laughs]

[grunts]

[yelps]

[roaring]

[PICCOLO JR. groans]

[GOKU gasps]

[PICCOLO JR.]
You can't hurt me...

Nothing you say...
or do can stop my power!

I am invincible! You will be
the first to witness my destiny!

[grunts, groans]

[NARRATOR]
Goku watched in horror

as Junior's screams brought the
eerie promise of a new threat.

[GOKU gasps]

Get out of here! Get out now!

It's not safe here! Leave!

Move it! Get as far away
from here as you possibly can!

[YAMCHA, BULMA yelp]

[GOKU grunts]

[GOKU thinking]
I've never seen so much power

summoned at one time!

[groaning]

Ahh...

[GOKU thinking]
He must be getting desperate

to go to such extremes!

[PICCOLO JR. groaning]

[PICCOLO JR. pants]

[PICCOLO JR. roars]

[BOTH sputter]

[ROSHI] Junior seems to
be absorbing our energy,

making himself stronger!

[sputters]

It seems that Junior is using
some sort of mysterious power

that drains the energy
from everything it its path!

Somehow it strengthens his own
body and weakens his opponent!

The audience has left,
you idiot!

What are you all doing?
You have to leave!

Didn't you hear me?!

Get out of here! Hurry!

You have to get off this island!
Run as far away as you can!

[whimpering]

[CHICHI] I'm not leaving
without you, Goku!

Just go!

[grunts]

I'll hold him!

[gasping]

Go--

Goku, listen, you can't stay
here! You must come with us!

I know how much the
tournament means to you,

but you have to turn away!

Give up before it's too late!
There's no more time!

Ah!

[PICCOLO JR. groaning]

[PICCOLO JR. laughing]

This is it! Take cover!

[TIEN grunts]

[TIEN] I've got to save
my friends! Tri-beam!

Everybody take shelter in this
hole! It's our only chance.

It won't do Goku any good
if we don't survive!

--[KRILLIN whimpers]
--He's right!

Hurry!

Wait up!

of himself! Come on!

--Let's go!
--[OOLANG whimpering]

[CHICHI yelps]

Goku, you gotta
get outta there?!

No!

Idiot... You can't fathom
the power you're up against...

If you had any brains, you'd be
on your knees begging for mercy!

No way... Get ready to lose!

Flee, Goku... Now!

[LAUNCH]
You're in danger! Move it!

[LAUNCH grunts]

Oh...

[groans]

[gasps]

[PICCOLO JR. sputters]

Surprised to see me?

You'll have to be
stronger than that, Junior!

Ahh... You're... here!

But that's impossible!
You should be dust!

[YAMCHA]
He's sweatin', Goku! Come on!

--[KRILLIN] Woohoo! Yeah, Goku!
--[CHICHI] All right, Goku!

Amazing! He took
that blast head-on

and yet he doesn't even
look singed. Unbelievable!

That's Goku! He
always bounces back!

You've used every
dirty trick in the book!

But you can't get rid of me. I'm
still here and I'm going to win!

[PICCOLO JR. grunts]

[GOKU]
Hmm.

Okay... It's time
to finish this!

[yelling]

Uh... Uh-oh!

I really think this
is gonna hurt!

even wasting his breath.

This means Goku's the...

Winner! You won!

[BOTH groan]

[BOTH laugh]

[ANNOUNCER sputters]

[ANNOUNCER] Oh my! Oh!
Oh my! He's not moving!

Do you think-- I mean, is he--

Oh. Do you think he
could possibly be...?

--[ANNOUNCER sputters]
--No way...

He's not that vulnerable...

Besides...

--You're right...
--[LAUNCH] Huh?

I'm still alive. And that
means, so is Junior...

He's asleep. Might I suggest you
start counting before he awakes?

Uh... oh, sure...

Excuse me, I have to count...

[ANNOUNCER clears throat]

And...

One... two...
three... four... five!

And six!

[ALL]
Seven!

[PICCOLO JR.] This doesn't
concern you... Stay out of it!

[YAMCHA, KRILLIN gasping]

Coward! If you hurt him,
you'll answer to me!

[CHICHI gasps]

Goku's in danger. We have
to find a way to save him!

Oh, please!

Call off the match!
Do something!
