Dragon Ball Z (ドラゴンボールゼット)

Previously on Dragon Ball Z...

With his father's help, Gohan was able to tap

into his deepest powers

and finally destroy the monstrous Cell.

After years of turmoil caused by

Dr. Gero's Androids, the Earth was brought back to normal...

Except for one thing...

Goku could not be revived

by the powers of the Earth's Dragon...

And despite a clever plan to bring him back to life,

Goku decided it'd be safer for the Earth if he didn't return.

And so, friends and family were forced

to say goodbye to the Saiyan they had for so long

called their own...

Meanwhile, light years above,

along the winding track of Snake Way,

Goku was adjusting well to life in the Other World.

You take that side, Bubbles!

As Goku went to recess with Bubbles and Gregory,

King Kai toiled away at building a replacement

for his exploded home.

But, well, that didn't work...

Oh, man. Sorry, King Kai! Gosh, I really blew it.

I feel so dumb!

No... No, it's not true, Bubbles...

Come on, Bubbles!

Now, Goku and King Kai have started down

the endless miles of Snake Way.

Next stop-- the master of Other World!

[GREGORY hums, BUBBLES chatters]

Now, up the hill!

Heave-ho! Heave--

Hey, Goku! Come on! Knock it off for a second

would ya?! My feet are really killing me here!

You see-- I'm not the running type!

Keep. It. Going. Ha, ha, alright! Keep going, 1-2, 1-2.

Oh, yeah, yeah, keep going.

-- -- Whoa!

I forgot how long Snake Way was!

Listen, uh, King Kai? Can't you run any faster?

We're not making very good time.

How many times can I say this?

We can't make bad time here

'cause in this world, time never runs out!

But I still can't wait to see this Master of Other World!

Talk about the ultimate fighting challenge!

I have to tell you, Goku.

You better not think lightly of him

or you're gonna be in trouble.

Oh, I don't think lightly of the guy.

I'm sure he's tough!

What?! "Guy"?!

You rude child! How dare you call him "guy"!

You must call him by his proper name so repeat after me!

His name is Grand Kai!

His name's Grand Kai...

The ruler of this world.

The ruler of thi--

Quiet!

Now as you know, I am King Kai, and watch over Earth

and your part of space from high above.

But the Universe is divided into four quadrants:

North, South, East, and West, each with its own Kai.

But further above us is the Grand Kai.

He is our ruler.

And to add more kittens to the litter,

he's also a great Martial Artist and his home's become

an eternal training ground for heroic fighters who, like you,

have been allowed to keep their bodies after death.

Wow! Are you serious?

Well, if there's other fighters there too, I can't be late!

-- -- See ya later, King Kai!

Hey, guys!

That's right I can... fly!

Oh! Ooh.

Now I feel kind of silly 'cause I was in such a rush

I forgot to ask you how to get to that place!

To reach the Grand Kai's planet you must take a plane.

Got it! Thanks a lot!

Bye, guys!

He's like a big yo-yo.

I give him 2 more seconds...

Here he comes!

Hi, guys!

Sorry, I forgot to ask you where the plane is!

It's docked next to King Yemma's castle

It's called the "Higher Plane."

"Higher Plane." Right, got it. Bye!

Bye, guys!

You know, Goku would be great material...

for my next standup routine.

-- -- Ooh?

I just realized it'd be a lot faster to get there this way!

Goku! Hold on!

Stay in line! No pushing now!

You will all get your turn!

You have passed...

I passed! I passed! Oh yeah! It's gonna be awesome!

So awesome! I know it! Yeah!

Next...

Can I get the next soul, please?

Hello!

Well, what do we have here? Our old friend Goku!

Dead again already, huh? And King Kai?!

How in the world did you die?

Well um, that's sort of a long story...

Nice to see you again, King Yemma!

Gotta jet!

You sure? Uh, would you like a cup of tea, or uh...

Hey, stop! Sir, you can't come this way!

I'm afraid you'll have to stand in line like every--

Oh?

Ah! You still have your body!

Huh...?

I haven't worked here long,

and you're the first one I've ever seen, but can I just say...

You are an inspiration!

Uh...?

After you, sir!

Uh... Thank you...

That boy needs to be on a leash!

Or something...

Well, King Yemma, I'm off!

Alright. Have a nice trip!

They've let him keep his body and train with the Grand Kai...

He must have done something incredible!

Huum...

"Rescued Earth from evil Android"...

Works for me!

Hey! If you're in Group A would you please follow me

and don't forget to show me your boarding pass!

You! Yeah!

I said single file!

Now just keep your eye on the person ahead of you

so no one gets lost, okay?

O-kaaayyy!

-- -- Bye-bye!

Man... How come we got stuck with this old klunker

of a plane...?

Aww... I really wanted to ride the big and fancy one...

Huh?

Whoa!

So this is the outer world! It sure looks big!

Well, you better get your fill of it.

We're about to land.

Already? But where?

There! That's the one.

Where? I don't see anything!

Straight ahead, ya' goof!

That's the Grand Kai's planet!

Oh! Gee, doesn't look like much...

Watch your mouth!

Oh, sorry! Guess it is bigger than your planet.

Especially now!

Goku... You are a rude, rude man.

Wow, this place is a dream come true, King Kai!

Look at all these fighters!

Hey, King Kai!

Hey!

It's been a long time.

Good to see you, sir!

Yes! Training hard, guys?

Yes sir!

Hey! I'd say you sure are famous here in Other World aren't you?

Well, just with people from the North Quadrant.

So... he's from where I'm from?

Sure, same Galaxy, but he's about 2000 years your senior.

Oh... Two thousand years...

What?! Two thousand years?!

But... he's been training himself for that long?!

Four million and one...

So, this is the place!

Not too shabby from the ground, now is it, Goku?

Yeah, it's alright-- But where's the owner?

I've got to see him.

The strongest man in Other World, whatshisname.

You'll address him as the Grand Kai!

Keep talking like that and you'll be up a creek!

'Cause he's that strong?!

This Big Kai?

Grand Kai!

Grand Kai...

That sounds much better, Goku.

You know, in all these years, not even I have had

the privilege of seeing the Grand Kai fight.

Really?

But it is said that no words can exactly describe

how forcefully, how beautifully, and how absolutely terrifyingly

the Grand Kai fights.

Wow...

Oh! This is the one I wanted! Mint condition!

Should've known he had one! Look at her!

Whoa! Sweet!

Classic Chrome Detail! Real Leather Interior!

Check out those fins! It's cool! It's sleek! It's SEXY!

-- --Ah, please, King Kai.

Can we go in now?
