Dragonball Z Episode 112: A Handy Trick

(dubbed episode)

The Z warriors sense that someone is dying- it’s Yamcha! The Warriors rush to save their friend, but is it too late? When they arrive, they find an interesting looking gentleman grasping Yamcha, however, Yamcha seems to be missing some of his internal organs, and only a hole remains. Krillin agrees to take Yamcha away to Bulma and the Sensu beans in hopes of saving him. Are they too late?

Goku, Piccolo, and Tien challenge Androids 19 and 20, but they need a more suitable ground to fight in. The town, as ravaged as it is, still has too many innocent people roaming around. Android 20 decides to solve that problem.

20’s eyes flash and out comes 2 little eye lasers which proceed to destroy the rest of the town and its inhabitants. Goku sees this and becomes enraged and instinct kicks in as he lays an extremely powerful punch on the cheek of 20. This punch knocks off his hat and shows everyone his brain inside the glass dome head of his. Then he does something interesting- he tells Goku that they should fly to somewhere else to fight. The interesting part of that is that 20 knows Goku’s name.

Meanwhile, back at the Kame House, Master Roshi, Oolong, and Chiaotzu are busy killing time by watching female exercise shows and ogling the women. An important news bulletin interrupts the carnal acts of perversion to inform them that South City is under attack. For a few moments they worry, but soon they breathe a sigh of relief just knowing that Goku is there to help.

Krillin reaches Bulma and Gohan in time to save Yamcha, but the problem is that Yamcha knows something about them that Goku, Piccolo and Tien don’t know- the Androids absorb energy. Realizing this, Gohan and Krillin immediately fly away to tell them. Yamcha reluctantly leaves with them after a moments thought.

After a while of flying, 20 decides that they have far enough and that this is the place they should fight. While landing, Piccolo surveys the area and wonders why this place was chosen above all others. He figures it out soon enough- it is covered with very large stones sticking out of the ground that can be used for cover.

Goku then proposes the question of how the Androids know them so well. 20 tells them that Goku has been under observation since the original Dragonball series, and they have calculated his every move, fight, victory, and defeat. 20 then tells him why he was under observation- it was because of his destruction of the Red Ribbon Army when he was a child that set all of these events in motion. Goku then asks him if they spied on him while on Namek. 20 states that that was not necessary because they had already felt they had all needed information about him. Since Dr. Gero didn’t see the fights on Namek, he didn’t know about Super Saiya-jin Goku.

Tien can’t help but notice that Goku seems very tired and worn out- is the virus affecting him already?

Goku then shows the Androids his true power and changes into Super Saiya-jin. This shocks and amazes even Tien! 20 insists that it matters not and demonstrates by letting 19 take him on Goku alone.

What will happen to Goku? Is his virus truly affecting him?
