Dragon Ball Z (1996–2003): Season 1, Episode 15 - A Black Day for Planet Earth - full transcript

The Saiyans arrive on Earth. Master Roshi uses the Dragon Balls to resurrect Goku, but he must get to Earth fast.

Last time
on Dragon Ball Z,

Goku took a snooze and
was haunted by nightmares

of the two terrifying Saiyans

who are making their way
towards planet Earth...

That got him
back on his feet

and moving even faster
along Snake Way...

He came across a castle that
he thought was King Kai's,

but it turned out that it
belonged to the charming

but deadly
Princess Snake...

And oh boy, did she ever
live up to that name!

Once the Princess
shed her skin,

Goku realized he was in
the belly of a beast.

So he made a
hasty retreat...

But it turns out that the
Princess never lets her guests

leave her with
an empty stomach,

and Goku almost became
the hot item on the menu!

Not wanting to
end up snake food,

Goku shook the
Princess off his tail

by setting a trap
of his own...

Using himself as bait,
he tied the Princess up

and left her
tightly tangled

and got back
on Snake Way...

Now he's on
track again,

still in search
of King Kai

and the special
martial arts training

that he so badly needs...

Meanwhile, Gohan is doing
his own training on Earth...

It won't be long until
those two evil Saiyans

arrive on the planet.

I sure hope Goku and Gohan have
what it takes to stop them!

Every good
martial artist knows

that you have to train your
mind as well as your body,

and Gohan is no exception...

With his daily
training completed,

he keeps his mind busy with
his school homework...

But all the arithmetic and
language lessons in the world

can't keep memories of
his mother and father

from creeping
into his head...

Let's see...
Carry the one and add two...

No... X equals one and
carry the one... Hm...

What a smart
boy you are, Gohan!

You just solved one of the
hardest problems in your book!

Thatta boy!

You keep studying like that
and you're going to be

a great scholar one
day. I just know it!

Yup! He's a chip
off the old block!

I miss my Mommy
and Daddy so much...

On the other
side of the planet,

Piccolo works on his own kind
of intensive training...

Recalling his near-disastrous
battle with Raditz,

he works out new
fighting strategies

and attack
combinations...

Here it comes!
Special Beam Cannon!

Hraaah!

He... He dodged it...

He's faster than the...
the speed of light!

You took a chunk
out of my armor.

I guess even you can
get lucky sometimes...

I won't let it
happen again.

Ha. You won't even
see the next attack coming!

You don't even come
close to my power level.

Give it up! You're through!
Your life will end today!

I don't think so!

Ah! Great!

It works!

Yeah!

Yahoo!

That... snake... lady sure
wasted a lot of my time!

I've really got to
pick up the pace

if Earth is
going to be saved!

Woo-hoo! What a ride!

If only my daddy
could see me now!

Nah-nah!
You won't catch me!

Bleh!

Hi! How are you?

U-Uh...

Whoa! Where am I?

This sure is
a big place...

I wonder if I can
find my house from here...

I hope so...

Mommy! Here I come!

Hraaah!

ChiChi?
Are you in there?

Open up! I've brought
some porridge for you.

It'll make you feel
better! Come on!

I'm not hungry...

ChiChi... You haven't eaten
anything in the last week.

Have some food.
Come on... Open up now!

Leave me alone...

The poor
girl really misses.

Gohan and Goku...

Yahoo!

Hey...
This looks familiar!

I came back to the
same place I was before!

Oh, no...

This way, Mr. Tiger!

An... island?
I'm on an island?

I must be a long,
long way from home...

That means I'll have
to figure out a way

to get off of this
island... somehow.

I can do it...
I have to!

Mm hmm... Well, I guess
that might work, maybe.

My greatest
opponent is myself...

If I can discover
what my weaknesses are,

then I will be an even stronger
fighter than I already am...

Special
Beam Cannon!

This should
do the trick.

Guess I'll have to
chop it down!

Hyaaa!

Hi-yaaa!

Thank you!

Whew! That was hard
work! Now it's time for a snack.

Finished!

I did it!
I did it!

Okay!

I'm going home!

Don't worry,
Mr. Tiger, I'll come back!

I just need to go home
and see my Mom first, okay?

And stroke... and stroke...
and stroke... and stroke...

And stroke... stroke...
stroke... stroke...

Good... There's
some wind!

Whoa!

Whoa-ho-ho!

Yahoo!

It's the kid!

Gohan?

Oh, no!
A storm is coming!

I've gone too far to go
back now, and just in case,

I better eat this food
while I still can!

Uh-oh! I'm taking
on water! Oh, no!

Maybe this wasn't such
a good idea after all.

Boy, I wish
I could swim!

Where is he? I sense
he's around here somewhere!

Help me, Daddy!

All alone
on a stormy sea!

How will Gohan get
out of this one?

Hopefully Piccolo
will find him in time.

If he doesn't,
you can say bon voyage

to the pint-sized Saiyan...

Hang on Gohan, hang on!

And don't you miss the
next exciting episode

of Dragon Ball Z!
