Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone

What, for crying out loud?

Sorry I'm late, everyone!

Gohan, what's the deal with that outfit?

Mother said I should be neat and tidy when I come.

We're just camping here! What was your mommy thinking?

And that rucksack is incredible. What do you have inside it?

Right! Mother packed all kinds of things for me.

Language, arithmetic, science and social studies reference books,

along with my sleep-study set.

I also have mosquito repellant, a bellywarmer and a pillow.

My alarm clock... this is a pouch of curry...

and I have all of this canned food...

Let's see, I also have... this, and that, and such...

Fire!

Hurry! We have to get upwind of it!

W-which way is upwind!? W-w-which way!?

Gohan! We'll knock the flames out using our Ki!

Can you do that!?

Yes!

All right!

Now's your chance!

For a minute, I wasn't sure what would become of us.

Thank goodness.

The animals have been put out.

Poor guys.

G-Gohan...

Bulma-san, would you lend us your Dragon Radar?

The Dragon Radar?

Oh, yeah!

You're such good boys.

Kuririn-san!

Break through the shining clouds, and fly away (fly away)

As a panorama spreads itself throughout my being!

The earth, having been kicked in the face, gets angry (angry)!

And makes one of its volcanoes explode!

If, within the thawed polar ice,

There is a dinosaur, then I want to train him to balance atop a ball.

CHA-LA-HEAD-CHA-LA

No matter what may happen, I feel as though nothing can bother me,

CHA-LA-HEAD-CHA-LA

However hard your chest pounds, the Genki Dama will roar!

CHA-LA-HEAD-CHA-LA

The emptier your head is, the more room there is to pack with dreams,

CHA-LA-HEAD-CHA-LA

With a cheerful face and an Ultra-Z, today is ai-yai-yai-yai-yai...

Sparking!

"Super Showdown for the Whole Earth"

Haiya Dragon!

Come back!

Don't do that! Shen Long is going to return your forest back to normal!

Right?

Shen Long does have a scary face, and all.

It's no wonder Haiya Dragon was frightened.

Now, speak forth thy wish. I shall grant thee any one wish.

Please make this forest the pretty forest it was before!

That is a simple matter.

I have granted thy wish.

Farewell!

That tickles!

Tullece-sama, there are life signs coming from Earth.

There couldn't be. Earth is the planet that Kakarrot was sent to...

...long ago.

Then again, it is too beautiful.

Tullece-sama, you will be most pleased.

Earth's soil appears to be suitable for growing the Shinseiju tree.

Goku-sa, how's the water?

Not quite warm enough, Chichi.

Father, let's have a contest.

All right!

G- Goku-sa!

I lost.

Haiya Dragon!

G- Gohan-chan!

See? This is the friend I was telling you about earlier.

I'm impressed that you found my home.

Isn't he cute?

W-which part?

Gohan-chan!

Really, Gohan-chan, you are fast becomin' a bad child!

Ever since you started playin' with Goku-sa's friends,

you don't study in the least!

Chichi, ain't that enough already?

Goku-sa, you just hush.

Havin' come to this point, I can't let him play anymore.

But I do study.

That's what makes you my Gohan-chan.

So I can keep Haiya Dragon, can't I?

Send it back to the mountains!

I just can't deal with those things.

But...

You understand me? Send it back, right now!

I'm sorry, but you have to go back to the mountains, okay?

I'll come visit you later.

Please, go bye-bye.

No, I said.

What am I going to do with you?

Gohan!

How do you like it, Gohan?

Thank you, Father!

But don't tell your mother!

Well, Pu-erh, how's the ride?

It's the best!

Isn't it, isn't it? I bought it on a 15-year loan, after all.

I'm surprised someone offered you that much credit.

Well, I did become famous overnight because of the Tenkaichi Tournament.

Everyone will be so surprised when we show up in this!

They sure will!

Yamucha-sama...

What is that Ki!?

For a little while now, I've been sensing an ominous Ki...

Take firm root, now.

Hurry and bear fruit.

Does that feel good?

Gohan! Suppertime!

Okay!

We'll play again later, okay?

Bye!

To think that Earth would be an ideal planet to grow Shinseiju fruit on...

This is all thanks to Kakarrot leaving the planet unharmed.

Help!

Wow, you had a rough time of it, huh?

Yeah. My whole 15-year loan, all gone.

Thank you. Sorry to suddenly drop in like this.

Why did you buy something so expensive!?

You're trying to be popular with other girls again, huh!?

N-no, i-it's not like that...

You never think ahead, and just buy things!

Chichi-san, thanks for going to all this trouble for us.

Don't be silly. As long as you don't interfere with Gohan's studyin',

you stay as long as you like.

I could help teach him his lessons, okay?

That's what I'm most worried about.

H-Haiya Dragon!

Gohan-chan! Haven't you sent that thing back yet?

W-well, you see...

W-where's the harm?

Goku-sa, you're conspirin' with Gohan-chan again!

I-I wouldn't say that...

We can't do this outside the cave, you know!

- What's the matter? - Gohan-chan!

We've got guests! Send it away at once!

Okay!

Sorry about this, but wait for me at the cave, okay?

No, I can't play right now.

No!

He seemed to be acting strange, huh?

It just wants to play.

Goku...

Kaio-sama?

Goku, something terrible has happened.

Something terrible?

A ghastly tree called a Shinseiju has taken root across the whole Earth.

Shinseiju?

Ordinarily, only Kami-sama are allowed to eat of the fruit of this tree.

Once a Shinseiju takes root,

it bears fruit until it has sucked all of the nourishment out of the land,

while the surrounding plants wither away.

The planet becomes a desert wasteland,

and it's said that not even a blade of grass

will grow in its soil for several centuries afterward.

How can that be?

In other words, once it has taken root it is already too late.

Its fruit will suck all of the nutrients out of the Earth,

and in the end, it will turn the world into a desert.

Then, our Earth is-!?

Unfortunately, it's too late.

I can't believe that!

A little longer, and the fruit will be ripe.

After eating the fruit which has absorbed this much of the Earth's energy,

our power will rise once again.

The Crusher Tullece Corps, strongest in the universe,

will be invincible wherever we go!

Even Freeza will be easy to handle.

Tullece-sama will be the emperor of the universe!

Da!

And it's all thanks to the Shinseiju fruit.

No.

It's thanks to that foolish Kakarrot.

The trees are all going to wither and die!?

And all the water will be gone?

I don't know.

But once it takes root, it's too late, right?

If we put all of our powers together,

we should be able to blow the tree away, roots and all!

That's right! Let's do it, guys!

- Yeah! - All right!

Let's go!

Gohan, you can't go.

Aww...

And after Shen Long went to the trouble of returning this forest back to normal.

Who the hell would do this?

All right, here goes!

Goku, let's try again!

It's no use! It doesn't look like we can get rid of these roots

without blowing the Earth to bits!

Nobody can destroy the Shinseiju tree.

I can sense an incredible Ki from them. Who are these guys?

You're the ones who planted this tree, ain't you?

Anyone who gets in our way will lose their lives.

You guys caused that explosion, huh?
