Dragon Ball (ドラゴンボール)

Last time on Dragon Ball,

Goku climbed Korin Tower in pursuit of the Sacred Water,

a potion believed to give increased strength

to whoever consumes it.

What he found instead was Korin himself.

The wise guardian agreed to give Goku

the enchanted liquid, provided he could get it.

The young warrior fought hard

to wrestle the bottle from Korin's paws.

But no matter what he tried, the plump pussycat

stayed one step ahead of him.

You can't be that tired. Come on, we're just gettin' started!

As Goku continued his relentless pursuit

for the bottle, Korin revealed a shocking truth.

In 300 years, only one person had ever managed

to capture the Sacred Water from him.

Master Roshi.

Was he really fast?

How long did it take him to get the bottle from you?

Whoa! Just three minutes?!

Three years.

Goku's quest for the Sacred Water continues today.

Thr-Three years?!

It really took that long for Master Roshi

to get to the Sacred Water?

That's right.

Now, how long do you think it's gonna take you?

Stop that! It's not funny.

I have to get that extra strength right now.

I don't have much time.

My friends are in trouble!

I'm going to get that water from you,

whatever it takes!

The rain always makes me sleepy.

Huh?

The bottle will be right here whenever you want it,

so just let me know.

And, try not to worry so much.

Three years can go by pretty quickly.

Uh. But-But...

All right! That's it. I'm getting that water!

I'm getting it right now!

Ah, the ol' afterimage trick.

Looks like I found the right one here.

Ha!

I've got you now!

Thanks for the entertainment, kid.

That was fun. Good night.

Come back!

I can still fight. Once the room stops spinning.

I can do this. Just one more try.

I forgot... I...

...haven't eaten anything since yesterday.

Ah! That reminds me, I haven't eaten anything

in five years. Why don't we grab some lunch?

I know just the thing.

Lunch is ready! Come get it!

Lunch?

Hungry?

Here ya go. Enjoy.

This is a bean! All I get for lunch is a single bean?!

Are you kidding? This isn't fair!

One is all you need.

It's a Senzu Bean.

Magical-- Just one will keep you full for at least ten days.

But, uh, you have to eat it first.

I don't think this is going to fill me up.

I can eat a lot.

Ah...

You feel light-headed and weak.

But your appetite isn't the problem.

At this altitude, the air is much thinner

than you're used to,

so all that wasted energy you're throwin' around

is bringing you back down. So, you should move like you speak,

with purpose and clear direction.

Commit your mind and focus.

Distraction is the root of all failure.

What's this? Garbage?

Uh-huh.

Then why keep it around?

My grandpa's Dragon Ball!

Wait! Stop!

No! What are you doing?!

I have to find it, before those Red Ribbon guys do!

Where is it?

I found it!

Huh?

I thought I saw something moving.

But it couldn't have been Goku. It was much too fast.

I think my eyes are playing tricks on me.

Three hours round trip, not bad.

No better fuel than motivation.

This isn't garbage, okay?!

It's the Four-Star Ball and it's very, very important to me!

Hey! Are you listening to me?

It's not nice to throw away another person's things! Korin!

Wake u--

Hm. No, not like this. I'll get it tomorrow.

The right way.

Well, well, well.

It seems honesty isn't extinct after all.

I haven't been surprised in over 600 years.

This boy is very special.

Not at all like his old Master Roshi.

Now's my chance.

Tired...

Concentrate. Anticipate my movements.

Know my thoughts by reading my breath.

Uh. Your breath?

How is that going to help me get the bottle from you?

Well, it wouldn't hurt.

Huh?

[KORIN laughs, GOKU yells]

Though Goku tried with all his might,

both the Sacred Water and Korin's advice eluded him.

And so, the second day passed.

I know I hit him.

So how is it that he managed to survive?

Oh. Of course. The Dragon Ball.

Hm...
