Dragonball Episode 122: The Final Attempt

(original, Japanese episode)

Goku floats up from the huge crater, hanging onto his Kintoun cloud, and leaps back to the ground. Goku says that Piccolo Daimioh has lost power from using that huge blast. The angered Piccolo Daimioh says that no human can survive his blast. "I'm probably not a human because of my tail.", Goku replied. Goku adds that he also has less power due to being hit by the blast. He refuses to stop fighting, and gets into his fighting stance, ready to resume. The nervous Piccolo runs over to the nearly unconscious form of Tenshinhan, and grabs him up by the head, threatening to crush it if Goku takes one step closer. Goku calls Piccolo a coward. "Coward? Hahaha! It has a nice ring to it!", the Demon Lord replied. Tenshinhan tells Goku not to worry about him, and attack. Piccolo tells Tenshinhan to shut up, and tightens the death grip on his head. 

Meanwhile, in Bulma's plane, they are shocked as they pass over the huge crater created by Piccolo's blast. Yamcha says that Piccolo Daimioh must have caused it. Bulma hopes that Goku and Tenshinhan are okay. Lunch (good form) comments on how this is such a barren place to have a picnic. Bulma tells Yamcha to land around here, since it'd be dangerous to be in the air near a big battle. 

Below, Yajirobe stands at the edge of the crater, realizing he is too late to see the battle. He drives off in his air car, but stops, when he remembers that Goku promised him a big feast, so he turns back. Yajirobe stops again, and turns back, thinking that if Piccolo Daimioh killed Goku, he might kill him. Once again, Yajirobe turns back, "Goku can't lose! He drank the Water of Gods!". He finally decides that he can just wait for Goku to return, and he drives back toward home. 

Meanwhile, Yamcha, Bulma, and Lunch are hiding behind some rubble. Yamcha decides to check out the battle alone, but Bulma wants to come with him. Lunch accidentally fires a rocket from a rocket launcher, and it barely misses Yamcha and Bulma. It continues on into the distance, narrowly missing Yajirobe, who begins to swerve out of control. 

Back at the battlefield, Goku gives in, deciding not to move, for the sake of Tenshinhan's life. Piccolo grabs a rock, and blows it at Goku's arm, badly wounding it. Piccolo says that emotion is the weakness of all humans. Goku apologizes to Tenshinhan, "I'm sorry, Tenshinhan, but I've decided to attack.". Piccolo is shocked, asking why Goku would let his friend die. Goku says he can just wish back Tenshinhan with the Dragon Balls. Piccolo laughs, "I killed that Shenlon! So if your friend dies now, he can never come back!". Goku is shocked. Piccolo grabs another rock, and blows it at Goku's only good leg (the other is injured), badly wounding it, as well. Goku drops to the ground, no longer having any good legs. Piccolo drops Tenshinhan to the ground, no longer needing him, as he will now kill Goku. He floats into the air, and dives down toward the limp Goku. Goku says Piccolo has made a mistake, leaving him with one good arm. He charges all of his ki into his hand, and blasts the ground, propelling himself into the air. Goku lunges toward Piccolo, preparing to punch him. The Demon Lord frantically thrusts his arms forward in a vain attempt to block it. There is a huge flash, and Goku is suddenly flying through Piccolo's body. "I won...I won!! KameSennin...Kuririn...I've avenged you...", he mutters weakly as he drops back toward the ground. "Impossible...could it be...? Truly amazing, the Great Demon Lord Piccolo has been defeated. But don't think the evil demons are gone yet...", are Piccolo Daimaoh's last words before he spits out a big egg into the mountains. He explodes, and the force blows Goku toward the ground at an even faster pace. 

In the distance, Bulma, Yamcha, and Lunch notice the explosion. Yajirobe's car crashes, and he notices the explosion. In a hospital, Snow (a little girl Goku met a while back) looks out the window, seeing the explosion. 

Back at the battlefield, Goku is still falling. Yajirobe notices him, and leaps out of his car, running toward the falling Goku. He valiently leaps over the crater, catches Goku, and lands on the other end of the crater. They both laugh in happiness, and Tenshinhan is happy to see that Yajirobe is just a friend. 

Back in the distance, Yamcha wonders what is going on, and he decides that he must help his friends. He, Bulma, and Lunch start heading toward the battlefield. 

Back at the former battlefield, Yajirobe says he would've killed Piccolo Daimaoh if he had the chance, and Goku jokes that he is all talk. Tenshinhan tells Goku that he is great. Goku comments on all of his own injuries. Yajirobe tells them to get into his car, so he can take them to heal their wounds. Tenshinhan refuses, because he needs to go back to Kame House, and tell everyone about what has happened. Goku asks if KameSennin (Roshi) is really dead, and Tenshinhan answers yes, adding that Chaozu has also been killed. Goku also asks about Shenlon being dead, and Tenshinhan nods. Tenshinhan vows to train harder, and defeat Goku at the next Tenkaichi Budokai, but Goku refuses to let him do that. They say their good byes, and Goku and Yajirobe drive off. Tenshinhan comments on how amazing Goku is. Yajirobe's car passes Bulma, Yamcha, and Lunch, and they could've sworn that they just saw Goku in the car.
