Dragon Ball Z (ドラゴンボールゼット)

Please, stay away from us. We didn't do anything!

We never said you did.

[slashing, screaming]

Ah, in the darkness they have taken wing,

never to return again...

Maybe these poor fools know how I felt now.

When I was cast off against my will into

a place from which there was no escape.

Into the darkness. Alone, in a frozen hell

without any light for years.

So many years...

Well I've come back to share.

To share the pain and the horror that I felt

with every living thing on Earth.

After ten years of exile in the Dead Zone,

I, Garlic Jr., have returned to Earth

to hatch a sinister plan of

destruction and revenge.

Come on! Catch me if you can!

C'mon, faster!

Wow.

Hey, yo.

Hey, Krillin.

Wow. Is that really you under there?

Yeah, sweetheart. See?

That's the worst Humphrey Bogart imitation

I've ever heard.

So whatcha been doing, partner?!

Ehh, not much.

It looks like we'll be having fish for a while.

Hey, do you want to help me gut and clean 'em?

Uh, no thanks.

Hey, come on.

Hey!

Let's go for a swim, then.

The water is ice-cold. It feels really incredible.

No, please, no.

Huh?

Sorry. It's the threads, bro.

Ahh. Well, no big deal. Take 'em off.

Uh, well, uhh...

Huh?

Oh, wow. Check out that car!

Is it yours?! For real?!

Yep. Well, uh, sort of.

Aw, what the heck.

It's been so long.

One little dip won't hurt anything.

Ha-ha!

Last one in is a rotten egg.

Krillin! Hey!

What are you doing?!

Are you coming, or what?

Yeah, sure! One sec!

Who is she? What's up?

Hmph!

She's my, uh, well, she's uh...

Krillin. You didn't forget about me, did you?

Who me?

Yeah, you. Who's that?

Oh, this is my martial arts partner, Gohan.

Gohan this is my "friend", Maron.

Hi.

Is he from outer-space?

No, Maron, this isn't the one.

It's his dad, remember?

Oh, yeah, I forgot.

Well, he sure is cute, though. Did you know that?

Well, sort of.

Modest, huh? And look at this

beautiful black hair.

I know a lot of girls that would kill

to have hair like this.

Do you always hang out in your underwear?

How cute.

Hey, easy! What's the deal?!

What's the deal with you?

You're not jealous, are you?

I thought he was your friend.

Yeah, well, he is.

You're so silly. Here.

Oh. Uh... Hah...

Hey, Gohan, guess what?

What?

There's a party, bro.

Later on this afternoon at Master Roshi's place.

Think you can make it?

Yeah, sure.

Well, that is, if my mom'll let me go.

Oh, yeah. She's too darn strict

with all of that studying.

Oh, well. Maybe a miracle will happen

and she'll say yes.

Stranger things have happened, you know.

Yeah...

Ciao!

Laters.

I wonder if she's...?

Bye!

Yeah, she is! She's Krillin's girlfriend!

He did it!

After all these years,

he finally found a girlfriend.

Boy, is Dad gonna be surprised when he gets back.

[blows landing, PICCOLO grunts]

Thank goodness. I was beginning to think

I needed glasses.

What? You. And what are you doing here?

Thanks. Nice welcome. Same Piccolo.

You're still rude, arrogant,

and completely lacking in social graces.

But this is just the exterior;

the hard, protective, outer-shell.

Inside, you've changed a great deal,

which is why I have come here to talk to you.

I was hoping that you would ascend to the throne

and take over my position as guardian of the Earth.

What...?

I'm not interested in your stinking job.

But... I have been a little worried about you.

Huh?

I've seen some disturbing

images in my meditation lately, and, I'm not sure,

but I think they're glimpses of the future.

There might be some trouble brewing

so... just be careful, that's all.

Piccolo...

Huh?

Oh no...

Yoo-hoo.

Enough.

I said enough!

It's you. Garlic Jr.!

Very observant, Mr. Popo.

What do you want?

Yes, sure, I remember it all clearly now.

Why you came before.

Now, Dragon! Arise!

You were going to use

the legion of dark spirits upon the Earth.

So first, you stole the Dragon Balls

and used them to wish for immortality.

Huh...?

Kami tried to stop you, but he's getting old

and he's not as spry as he used to be.

Try as he might, he wasn't able to stop you,

and you finally overpowered him.

It was an easy victory for you,

but when Goku and Piccolo intervened,

you were forced to transform

and use your maximum power

to finally overcome them.

But there was one thing you hadn't counted on:

Goku's son.

Don't you hurt my Daddy! Leave him alone!

Even though he was just a boy,

he had phenomenal powers.

You pest! How are you doing this?!

Into the void you go!

He didn't care about himself,

it was his love for his father

that awakened his sleeping powers.

He couldn't stand to see his father

sucked into the horrible Dead Zone Vortex

that you created.

So he exploded with rage

and his fantastic power bounced

you into that horrible prison

that you intended for others.

We thought you were gone forever.

Don't look so disappointed, Mr. Popo.

Kami's getting close to retirement.

He's going to need a competent successor.
