Dragonball Z Episode 4: Piccolo's Last Trick
(original, Japanese episode)
Goku and Piccolo are still in shock
about the other two Saiya-jins and their overwhelming. Goku and Raditz
exchange words again, with Goku wanting to know where his son is.
After seeing Gohan in the space pod, Piccolo and Goku begin their
attack with a flurry of punches and kicks. Raditz dodges the attacks
with ease and manages to counterattack with a springing back kick that
connects with both Z warriors. He then flies into the air, and as
Piccolo and Goku fly up to meet him, Raditz fires a strong energy
blast towards both fighters. They both seem to have evaded the attack,
and as Goku lands, Raditz appears behind him and kicks him in the
back. Goku struggles to get up and looks over at Piccolo, who is
missing his left arm! Piccolo and Goku try to devise a new plan with
Goku attacking Raditz as a diversion for Piccolo to power up a new
attack (the attack he invented to kill Goku). Goku attacks but to know
avail as Raditz fights back, landing every single blow. Goku just
bounces right back up and flies into the air, charging his Kamehameha
attack. Raditz can’t believe Goku can raise his power level by
focusing all his energy to one point. He then notices Piccolo’s
power skyrocketing as well. Goku fires the wave, and Raditz tries to
avoid it, then turns around and blocks it. He fires a wave of his own
and connects on Goku. Goku falls to the ground, and just as Raditz is
about to finish him off, Piccolo has completely powered up and fires
the Makkanko Suppo at Raditz. Raditz barely escapes the attack (it
nicks his shoulder) and charges up for an attack against Piccolo. As
he was about to fire back, Goku grabs Raditz’s tail, totally
incapacitating him. Goku tells Piccolo to charge up again. Raditz
pleas with his brother, telling him he will stop his evil ways and not
harm the planet. Piccolo yells toward Goku to not believe him and hang
on. But Goku is far too trusting and lets go of Raditz. Raditz gets up
and beats on Goku. Just as Raditz is about to kill Goku, he detects a
massive energy level. Out of nowhere the space pod explodes and Gohan
has emerged. Can this mean Gohan is going to fight?
