Dragonball Z Episode 3: The Strongest Combination on Earth

(original, Japanese episode)

Raditz once again tells Goku that he must kill 100 humans in 24 hours or else he will kill Gohan. He then flies off with Gohan under his arm. Goku is really upset as the others try to calm him down. He yells for Kinto cloud so he can track down Raditz but is stopped by Roshi and Krillin. They tell him that he really does not have a chance against Raditz, but offer to help out in the fight. Goku doesn’t want them to at first because they have already died once and the dragonballs brought them back to life (you can’t wish for the same thing twice). They offer to help anyway and are about to depart when Piccolo arrives and tells them they don’t stand a chance. He tells Goku that they are still enemies, but he wants a piece of Raditz as well after their confrontation earlier. He also says that after they take care of Raditz, he wants to fight Goku. Goku agrees and together they fly off, using Bulma’s dragon radar to locate Gohan (he has a dragonball on his hat). Raditz has taken Gohan back to his spacepod and locks him inside since he won’t stop crying. Raditz starts to walk away when his scouter picks up a reading of 710. Startled, he scouts the area to find this power, only to find out it is Gohan. He figures it is an error and disregards it. Back in the air, Piccolo tells Goku that Raditz should know they are coming due to his scouter so they decide to fight Raditz head on. Raditz finishes eating a snack and turns on his scouter. He picks up the same reading of 710 for Gohan and then two other power levels flying toward him. He recognizes one of the powers as Goku but thinks the scouter is still broken (he believes Goku would be smart enough not to challenge him). Low and behold, Piccolo and Goku arrive. Can this mean that Gohan really is that powerful? Piccolo and Goku remove their weighted clothing and their power levels increase (Piccolo – 408, Goku – 416). Within a blink of an eye, Raditz darts forward and elbows both Goku and Piccolo in the back. The two are amazed at Raditz’s speed. Raditz reveals that the other two Saiya-jins are stronger than him, and Goku and Piccolo could never defeat them. This begins the battle of Earth’s strongest combination against Raditz.
