After Zarbon's lifeless corpse falls into a lake, Krillin and Vegeta make small talk before Vegeta demands the handover of their Dragon Ball, allowing him to possess all seven. Knowing he can't beat Vegeta, Krillin hands it over. Vegeta decides to spare Krillin and Bulma before flying off. Bulma yells at Krillin for just letting it go like that, setting Krillin off. He goes into a tirade about how much of a bitch Bulma is.

Vegeta starts to sing "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen as he flies to his other Dragon Ball. Little does he know that Gohan is flying his direction with said Dragon Ball, and is also singing the same song. They detect each other, and Gohan hides. After some threats, Gohan emerges, having hidden his Dragon Ball. He passes his Dragon Radar off as an antique pocketwatch. Although Vegeta is suspicious, he talks sweet to Gohan, saying the last of the Saiyans need to look out for each other, saying he can "help" the younger one. Creeped out by Vegeta's demeanor, Gohan says, "I need an adult." Vegeta responds, "I am an adult." before kneeing Gohan in the gut. Vegeta says he only did that to take out pent-up frustration held against Goku, then flies off, leaving Gohan and his Dragon Ball.

After he finishes his tirade, Bulma smacks Krillin. Gohan arrives shortly after with his Dragon Ball, and tells the others they need to find a new hiding place; Vegeta will find out that Dragon Ball will be missing shortly. Vegeta goes underwater where he hid his other Dragon Ball, and looks for where he hid it. Unable to find it, he begins to put two and two together, figuring out that Gohan's "watch" was most likely a Dragon Ball locator. Ghost Nappa appears, and tells Vegeta that Gohan took the Dragon Ball. Vegeta explodes out of the lake, letting out the strongest scream of all time.

It's so strong, not only can Gohan hear it, but Krillin can feel it.

It's so strong, Frieza hears it.

It's so strong, Goku hears it in space, in his spacecraft.

It's so strong, King Yemma hears it in the next world. He thinks it's his estranged wife.

It's so strong, that 20 years later it reaches Earth, where it is heard and recognized by his as-yet-unborn son, Trunks.

"Daddy?"

At their new hiding place, Krillin tells Gohan that he needs to visit Guru, so he can "touch you and pull things out of you that you never knew you had". Gohan again says he needs an adult. They fly off, to Bulma's chagrin. At his spacecraft, Frieza tries to think of what he will do when he achieves immortality. One of his mooks, Acai, reports that the Ginyu Force will arrive in five minutes. He also says that the remaining officers are unionizing due to the random execution of their ranks. Acai is promptly incinerated. Frieza then thinks of taunting Cooler with his immortality.

As they near Guru's, Gohan and Krillin detect Vegeta getting near. Krillin tells Gohan to go ahead. When he arrives, Guru is annoyed that another human has come to his lookout. Gohan says Krillin said Guru could help him by "touching" him. Guru responds, "Do I look Catholic?" Nail replies he means unlocking his potential. Guru puts his hand on Gohan and describes the process similarly to Krillin's description. Once more, Gohan says, "I need an adult." Guru begins to unlock his potential.

Outside, Vegeta reaches Krillin, and is so angry he has bloodshot eyes and is mumbling incoherently about needing his Dragon Ball back. He sees Ghost Nappa again, who tells him his rage broke. When Krillin tells Vegeta he doesn't have the Dragon Ball with him, his right eye pops and turns solid red. He approaches Krillin, but the sudden pop of Gohan's power level rise snaps him to his senses. He asks where Nappa is, then is reminded by Krillin that he killed Nappa on Earth. Krillin, in his fear, accidentally spills that Gohan is over at Guru's lookout getting his potential unlocked. Vegeta decides to pay them a beating.

Vegeta gets to the lookout, where he encounters Nail. The two volley insults for a bit, with Nail making fun of Vegeta's height. Guru tells them to stop "making out". Gohan emerges and tells Vegeta that he is now as strong as his father was when they fought on Earth. Vegeta retorts he's still not as strong as Zarbon or Dodoria. Gohan says he now knows how Krillin feels. Krillin responds, "Sucks, doesn't it?"

Vegeta gloats that, besides Frieza, he is now the strongest being on planet Namek. Guru then tells them there are five extremely strong power levels approaching the planet...and they are all incredibly flamboyant. Vegeta instantly freaks, knowing exactly who he's talking about.

The Ginyu Force has arrived.

In the stinger, Goku reaches into the fridge, and pulls out beer, then "Powerthirst" energy drink, then a jar of Planters nuts ("I can't drink these! These are nuts!")... then "Team Four Star Soda", which he says looks delicious, and is high in calcium.

Translated Name: Arrival Of Fear!! Salute, Ginyu Special Squadron!!

Nail finally stops flying with Frieza, claiming the land they are on is his people's sacred battleground. Frieza says it looks the same as everywhere else on the planet. After some racist remarks, Nail attacks him to no effect. Frieza grabs his arm and rips it off. Nail then surprises Frieza by growing it right back. Frieza rips the newly-grown arm off again.

In Frieza's ship, Vegeta loads Goku into a healing tank. He thinks the bubbles tickle, but laughing hurts. Vegeta tells Gohan and Krillin the tank is an older model. Where's the newer one? He says he "blew it the f*ck up". He tells the Earthlings to strip. After a moment of hesitation, he tells them he has battle armor for them, which Krillin thinks is less awkward. As they change, Krillin thinks it feels like they've been on Namek for a year, when it's only been six days. He then says his armor looks familiar, and asks Vegeta who the other Saiyan with him on Earth was. He starts repeatedly saying "Vegeta? Vegeta?" making the tired Vegeta hallucinate and think it's Nappa. He responds, "Goddamn it, Nappa", which Krillin takes as the name. Krillin thinks they should get Little Green to summon the dragon, but thinks it's a long way to go. Gohan gets him to go anyway. Vegeta tells Krillin not to get killed, God forbid that make him happy. Vegeta decides to take a nap, and tells Gohan to guard the ship. He says not to stray far, wanting his "meat shields" close by.

As Goku deals with the pain of his injuries, King Kai calls in. He starts describing his battle with the Ginyu Force in inadvertently suggestive terms. George Takei, who was listening in, gets titilated by what he turned into a three-way call. Back in their battle, Nail's had his arm ripped off 24 times. He tries to blast Frieza, but that does nothing either. Frieza asks him if he's heard of Planet Vegeta. Nail responds "No", exactly what Frieza wants to hear when he asks someone about Namek. He whacks Nail in the face, and starts laughing, finding satisfaction in doing "grunt work" himself. Surprisingly, Nail laughs, too. It turns out, he's been distracting Frieza while Dende went to the Earthlings with the password for the Dragon Balls. Frieza flies off in a rage, also finding the Ginyu Force are all dead when he looks for them on his scouter.

While flying back to the others, Dende is stopped by a silhouetted person in Saiyan armor yelling, "Stop right there, Namekian scum!" It was Krillin, pulling a joke, one Dende didn't find funny. Back at the ship, Gohan ponders his lot in life, how his only friends are "a 26-year-old dwarf and a giant green alien who constantly hits me". Then again, unlike his dad, at least they're around. Krillin arrives with Dende, and tells Gohan about a plan to get the Dragon Balls and make their wish before Vegeta wakes up. Krillin thinks it's a better chance. Gohan tells him "Team Three Star" was not a great name idea; oddly, Krillin agrees. They fly a distance away with the Dragon Balls. As they get settled, they sense Frieza approaching, so Dende summons their dragon, Porunga, who Krillin describes as "on steroids". Porunga mistakes Krillin for an "albino Namekian", which should've been all purged; Dende says they're just annoying Earthlings.

Porunga tells them they get three wishes. As they prepare to wish, King Kai's voice is heard in Krillin's head. Dende asks if it says his name right. King Kai begs Krillin to get the Z Fighters off his planet before he tries to kill himself. Porunga, however, tells them he can only resurrect one at a time. Piccolo gets an idea: wish only him back. That way Kami returns, and they can resurrect the others with the Earth Dragon Balls. Krillin tells Dende to wish Piccolo back to life, and beam him to Namek. Piccolo's pleas not to fall on deaf ears, and suddenly he is heard screaming on the opposite side of Namek. Dende says he didn't appear before them because they didn't say where on Namek they wanted him to appear. Gohan compares the rule to a "monkey's paw", prompting Piccolo to yell "NERRRRRRRRRRRRD!"

Vegeta is woken up by the energy of Piccolo showing up, and first has to pee. Then he notices it's night...on a planet with three suns. When he figures out what's going on, he curses. Before Krillin can use the last wish to get a hoagie sandwich, Vegeta appears. After a brief exchange with Gohan, he demands Dende give him his wish of immortality. Meanwhile, at Namek's lookout, Guru feels the dragon's presence, thinking, "It would be a real dick move to die right now." Mid-wish, Porunga disintegrates and the Dragon Balls turn to stone. Dende reports that Guru is dead, and Vegeta didn't get his wish. Vegeta freaks out right before Frieza appears before them.

In the stinger, Kami reappears at his lookout to find Mr. Popo watering marijuana plants. But he has no intention of getting rid of it; it works wonders on his glaucoma.

Frieza who has transformed into his final form fights Vegeta who claims he is a super saiyan. After a battle, involving Frieza eating Vegeta's spirit animal a Crab who speaks in a Jamacian accent, Vegeta is badily beaten and lying on the ground beatened so much he only has the abilty to speak. Goku recovers and arrives on the battle field and meets Frieza. Goku says he is going to "deck him in the snoz", and says he is "insane (saiyan) from Earth". Frieza then tries to attack Goku (because he made fun of his appearence) with his Death Beams, but Goku defelcts them all. Vegeta then says Goku is a Super Saiyan. Frieza then kills Vegeta.

The Episode Starts Out With Goku, Gohan, and Krillin Saying, "Vegeta No!!". Piccolo Just Says "Meh", Probably Because He Doesn't Care. Goku Asks Vegeta If He's Alright, With Vegeta Responding "I Have A F***ing Hole In My Chest, Why Didnt You Dodge That One?" Goku Then Says He Thought Vegeta Had It, With Vegeta Yelling "NO!". Frieza Then Says It's Funny How Vegeta is Still Talking, Because Frieza Thought He Hit A Lung, But It Turns Out He Did After Vegeta Barfs Out Blood. Vegeta Then Tells Goku That Frieza Killed Their Race, With Goku Saying, "I Understand Now, If It Weren't For Freezer, You Wouldn't Be..." Vegeta Then Says "Dying, Yes." Goku Then Tells Vegeta That He Was Going To Say Evil, Which Vegeta Denies By Saying He Would Still Be Evil, Goku Would Be Dead, And He Would Be Laughing, and Laughs A Bit After That, Which Goku Says "Why Are You Telling Me This?" Vegeta Then Tells Goku That He Is The Last Remaining Saiyan Then Responds By "Oh God, Your The Last Remaining Saiyan." Goku Then Buries Vegeta, Saying He Deserves a Proper Burial, Which Frieza Responds By Saying That A Planet With No People In The Middle of Space Is Too Much For Him. Then Goku Says "Now, I Know What I Have To Do, I Have To Defeat You!! Your A Heartless Monster Who Kills Everything In His Path, Even Children". Frieza Then Respond

This episode starts with Goku getting beaten up by Frieza . So he desides to use the Spirit Bomb and Piccolo steps in to give Goku the time to charge it by fighting the tyrant. Frieza gets hit by the attack but survives and kills Krillin, then mortally wounds Piccolo. The episode ends when Mr. Popo says "Called it"!, revealing he was right about Krillin's death in episode 11.

Following Krillin's death, Freeza laughs and taunts the enraged Goku, who transforms into a Super Saiyan. Freeza, now confused about the situation, begins to question Goku what happened to his appearance. Ignoring Freeza's questions, Goku tells Gohan to take Piccolo and Bulma to his ship and escape. However, Gohan is also confused, and worries about his father, who angrily repeats his command. Gohan, startled at the sudden change in his father, quickly takes the badly wounded Piccolo and flies to Goku's ship. Freeza then attempts to kill the fleeing Gohan, but is stopped by Goku, who in turn, snaps his hand, hits him away, and knees him in the abdomen. Freeza then fires multiple Death Beams at Goku, only for him to dodge all of them. Freeza, now beginning to feel afraid, questions Goku again, refusing to believe the Super Saiyan legend. Goku then says his "I am" speech to Freeza, but with comical twists to each sentence. Goku then begins to say that he is a Super Saiyan, but is interrupted when Freeza shoots another Death Beam to his face. Goku, unaffected by the attack, finishes his sentence, angering Freeza even more.

King Kai, speechless about the entire situation begins to stammer. Yamcha asks him what is happening, and King Kai reminds him that he could just touch his shoulder to see everything. Yamcha refuses, because of King Kai's bad odor. King Kai says that "it's his natural musk", and then repeatedly says "musk", much to the annoyance of Tien Shinhan.King Kai is then telepathically contacted by Kami, who informs him that Mr. Popo has started gathering the Dragon Balls, all according to his plan. Yamcha is then annoyed that he was not informed of such a plan, followed by King Kai saying, "I don't have to tell you anything!". Tien then remarks how what King Kai just said was the summary of their whole time spent at King Kai's planet, meaning that being with King Kai was useless and wasted time

Gohan then finds Goku's ship, and lays down Piccolo's unconscious body. He then forgets that Bulma still needs to be rescued and wonders how to fly the ship. He then remembers by remembering who built the ship for Goku. Bulma is then shown hanging from a colapsing island, crying for help. The scene then shifts back to Goku and Freeza. Freeza admits that Goku has become stronger, but still believes that he will not lose to a Saiyan. He then says that he owns Planet Vegeta and Namek, but loses interest in Namek and proceeds to destroy the planet. Goku, who seemed to be angrily looking at Freeza and ignoring his questions, was actually staring off blankly into space, not paying attention to Freeza at all. But before Goku can bring himself back to his senses, Freeza's energy blast creates a huge explosion, shattering Namek's core.

King Kai, who at first appears to be lamenting the destruction of the planet, Goku and his friends, and his plan, actually is upset that he will stay with Tien, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu forever, because with the plan ruined, Guru would not come back to life, and the Namekian Dragon Balls wouldn't be able bring back the three to life. Tien then takes this as a joke, not knowing that King Kai was serious, but learns that he is. King Kai then says that Freeza had ruined his plan. Chiaotzu guesses the method that Freeza used: suicide bombing, because that is how he died. King Kai then says that this time, the method was a sucess. King Kai then again begins to lament his fate with Tien, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu, but is interrupted by Kami, who says that Mr. Popo has acquired the sixth Dragon Ball, and the plan is almost ready to execute. King Kai then realizes that if Kami is still alive, then Piccolo is still alive. If Piccolo is still alive, then Planet Namek has not been destroyed yet.

Goku, noticing that the planet is still intact, asks Freeza whether or not he missed the core. Freeza, believing that he had missed the core, blames it on stress. Goku blames the idea that Freeza chickened out, as he couldn't blow himself up along with his enemy. Freeza then reminds Goku that he could breathe in space, and that Goku couldn't, so it wouldn't matter when the planet exploded. Freeza then estimates that the planet has around five minutes untill it explodes, motivating Goku to kill Freeza quicker. Freeza then notices that he is still at half power, not enough to defeat Goku. Freeza then tries to bribe Goku by letting him power up for a pizza. Goku, enraged by this taunting decides to attack Freeza before he can power up, but gives in when Freeza says he will give Goku two pizzas with stuffed crust. King Kai then tries to persuade Goku not to let Freeza power up to 100%, but does not succeed, as Goku changes the subject to the pizzas. Freeza, now up to 100% full power, thanks Goku for waiting. Goku, who is still talking to King Kai does not hear what Freeza says and begins to ask Freeza to repeat himseld, but is interrupted when Freeza lands a heavy punch to Goku's stomach. Freeza then proceeds to rapidly attack Goku at close range, easily overpowering him.

Gohan, who is looking for Bulma, calls out for her name, and hears her screaming loudly like an animal. Gohan then rescues Bulma from the crumbling island and flies back to the ship. Bulma, angry that she was left alone and Gohan took so long to rescue her, says that she almost died. Gohan, annoyed at Bulma's complaints, states that she wouldn't have gotten hurt from the height she was hanging from. Freeza then tells Goku how easy it is to get away with doing bad things, refering to the situation in which most stories have antagonists doing evil acts while the protagonists just stand there and watch, not even attempting to stop it. Goku, still not paying attention, asks Freeza if his pizzas could be meat lovers. Angry that Goku is not taking the fight seriously, Freeza kicks him in the face. King Kai then wonders why he even bothered to train Goku if he wouldn't fight seriously, even when his best friend had been killed. Kami then informs King Kai that Mr. Popo has gathered all of the Dragon Balls, and states that all that King Kai sees him as is an updater. King Kai then requests to speak with Mr. Popo, but his antennas explode, due to the fact that Mr. Popo was high during the time.

Mr. Popo then summons Shenron, who asks Mr. Popo what his wish is, but stops talking when he realizes that the person who summoned him was Mr. Popo, his "master". He then asks what his lord requested of him. Surprisingly, Popo did not know what he was supposed to do, and asked Kami what to do. Kami also did not know what Popo should do, and asks King Kai, revealing that King Kai never thoroughly explained to anyone what his plan was. King Kai then says to wish for the resurecction of all who were killed by Freeza. Kami asks why, and the two argue about questioning God, due to the fact that they are both Gods. Popo then commands Shenron to "bring back all of the worthless maggots killed by Freeza and his men".

Following Krillin's death, Freeza laughs and taunts the enraged Goku, who transforms into a Super Saiyan. Freeza, now confused about the situation, begins to question Goku what happened to his appearance. Ignoring Freeza's questions, Goku tells Gohan to take Piccolo and Bulma to his ship and escape.
