Episode #57
(Aired 09/03/97)

Tsuyosa Attou Teki!! Jaaku Ryuu o shihai suru ryuu
The Overwhelmingly Strong Enemy!! The Ruling Evil Dragon

The city is covered in ice, except where Suu stands in a cloud of steam. Gokuu claims to be amused by the display. San states that it is not going to be defeated, and will give Gokuu to the count of 5 to attack it as he desires. Gokuu roughs up San, and finishes by building up Kamehame-ha. But with the count of 5, San stands up holding Pan by the leg. The dragon throws Pan at Gokuu, not needing a hostage anymore because it will win now. San bats Gokuu into another building. San then commences to stomp on Gokuu's back as he protects Pan. Eventually, Gokuu grabs San's ankle and subdues the dragon. He is pissed that San had almost caused him to blast Pan with Kamehame-ha. He throws San into a building, softly sets Pan on the ground, and then prepares Kamehame-ha again to finish off the cowardly dragon. But, San flies up behind its brother and disappears.
San reappears and encases Gokuu in solid ice. Suu complains about this, and San tell its little brother to get out of the way so that it can use its ice cannon. San's arm turns into a gun barrel, with the Dragon Ball as the energy source. San fires away, as Gokuu breaks free of the ice and shoots off the Kamehame-ha. The ice beam is destroyed, and Gokuu tells the frightened dragon that using the same attack on him twice will never work; he'd created a barrier this time to protect him from the ice. Gokuu says that San has lost, and the dragon begs for its life, not wanting to die just yet. Suu is disgusted at its older brother's behavior.
Sam begs for Suu to save it, and Suu asks Gokuu to relent. Gokuu agrees, for Suu's sake, as long as San hands over its Dragon Ball, goes away to somewhere distant, and never comes back. Instead, San touches the icy ground with its hand, and creates super-sharp fingernails to slice Gokuu in the eyes (behind him, another building is cut in two and collapses.) San calls Gokuu an idiot for thinking that it would hand over the Dragon Ball so easily. Suu complains, and San says that all is fair as long as it wins.
San attacks with the ice blades, thinking that Gokuu's power has been lessened. Gokuu senses the dragon's energy and punches it in the stomach. Gokuu's face gets cut up, but his fist has gone through San's body. He follows it up with Ryuu-ken (an attack first used in the #13 DBZ movie) and a fiery dragon bursts through San's body and races across the city. San melts, as does the ice on all of the buildings. The #3 Ball returns to normal.

[Commercial Break]

Suu picks up the #3 Ball, and says "big brother". Gokuu tries to wash his eyes off, but fails to make them better. Suu drops a flask in Gokuu's hand, saying that it is eye medicine. The red-hot dragon commands its enemy to use the medicine quickly so that they can get started in their contest again. Gokuu comments on the dragon's sense of fairness, and it jokes that this is a sign of weakness. They laugh until a white hand fires off a blast from somewhere in the city. The flask shatters, and Suu falls face down on the street. A bone white dragon (looking like Suu and San, only heavier, with spikes on its face, and catfish-like whiskers) steps forward. The newcomer says that it won't lose. Suu recognizes Ii-Shinlon (#1 evil dragon) as Ii fires a shot at Gokuu. Suu takes the blast in the back as it protects Gokuu. Suu dies, and the #4 Ball returns to normal.
Gokuu gets pissed and powers up. His eyes are only partially working. He declares that he will not allow the newcomer to get away so easily for killing one of its own kind. But, Ii blames Gokuu for its own existence (brought on by the wish to have Earth restored after the battle with True Buu.) Gokuu says that he wasn't the one that made that wish, but it doesn't matter -- he vows to defeat Ii right now. Ii doesn't think that it can be defeated, and powers up a little bit to kill Gokuu. Part of the city gets leveled, and Ii apologizes for underestimating its own strength. Ii kicks Gokuu through more buildings, then bashes him up hard.
Gokuu flies into a ferris wheel in a distant amusement park, and the wheel goes rolling down a street until coming to rest against a roller coaster. Gokuu's body lands limply on the steel girders. Ii asks what's wrong, and Gokuu comments on Ii's great power. The dragon wants to end things, and shoots a beam from its finger tip. Gokuu escapes and tries to run away on the coaster rails. Ii keeps shooting, and Gokuu seems to be in great trouble. He uses a coaster car to get close to Ii and bodyslams the dragon. Gokuu asks if this really was the end.
Pan stumbles through the rubble, and a wind blows her backpack into her face. She holds the pack, thinks about the missing Dragon Balls, starts to cry, then wobbles off to find her grandfather. Ii-shinlon returns to the battle field, and walks through a kiddie playground (the building is shaped like a panda's head) looking for Gokuu. The hero waits for his chance, then fires off 10x's Kamehame-ha. The attack rocks the panda-shaped building, but Ii stands in place, unharmed. Ii states that Gokuu's strongest attack is not good enough to win against it, then shoots off its own blasts that chase Gokuu across the sky. Gokuu gets blown into a sky tower, and finally hangs with a steel beam impaling his leg. Ii-shinlon grins evilly. Pan stumbles nearby, sees her grandfather, and tearfully pleads for her family and friends to come save Gokuu.

Episode #58
(Aired 09/10/97)

Hangeki Kaishi! Chou-saiyajin 4 o koero
Counterattack Returned! SSJ4 is Surpassed

The camera pans over Gokuu's body, as the SSJ4 wears off and he returns to boy form. Ii gloats, decides that Gokuu is not worth bothering with any more, and picks up the boy. Ii drops him, and Gokuu falls down towards the pirate statue (the statue has a sword held overhead, and Gokuu is going to be impaled on it) far below. But, at the last moment, the statue blows up and Goten catches his father. Uubu apologizes for waiting so long to blow the statue up. Then, Trunks, Gohan and the others show up as well. Pan runs to her father, but Satan yells at her to not interfere with them (as a joke). Chi chi, Goten, and Trunks explain that they have all arrived because if Gokuu loses, the world will end. So, it's better for them to be with the hero at this time. But, they can also tell that none of them can defeat Ii-shinlon, so they are volunteering their power to bring Gokuu back up to full strength. (The only people missing are the Vejiita-Bulma clan, and #18.)
Ii taunts them, asking if Gokuu is really that good. Gohan says "yes, Gokuu is the world's strongest, no, the universe's #1 strongest fighter." The Saiya-jin men all power up around Gokuu, while Uubu puts himself between them and Ii. Gohan asks his father to save them, and the Earth. Gokuu replies that he is not Shenlon and can not grant wishes. He adds that he is going to need all of their power. But, Ii hates the idea of waiting around, and it zips in to rough Gohan up a little. The others rush in to save Gohan, and Ii escapes. It claims that they still don't understand that they can't win. The dragon fires a blast that puts a big crater in the ground, and Ii thinks that it has killed them all; Ii says that Gokuu is next. But, Gokuu had teleported his sons and Trunks to safety, where they continue to give him their power. Gokuu asks to be allowed to be fully restored. He is at full power now, but he wants to drain the others completely, since 10x's Kamehame-ha had no effect on Ii. Gohan complains that Gokuu may burn out, but he gives in eventually. Ii thinks that all of this is still a waste of time and moves in for the attack. Uubu prepares for a fight.

[Commercial Break]

Gokuu looks to be overloading, and his sons want to stop this now. Gokuu asks for more power. Ii says that their time is up, but Uubu claims to have first dibs on the dragon. Uubu fires an energy blast that Ii easily bats away. Ii gives Uubu a single punch, then tosses the magic one away. But Uubu doesn't give up that easily -- he lands on Ii's back and tries to choke it. This fails, and Ii blasts Uubu in the face -- Uubu falls to the ground far below. Ii returns to the task at hand, asking if Gokuu is done yet. Suddenly, there is a roar, and a big golden were-monkey snarls at the evil dragon. (This is Gokuu's ki manifesting itself.) The boy goes SSJ4, and blows Gohan, Goten, and Trunks out of the sky. Those three are impressed at the energy level of an overloaded SSJ4 stage.
Ii-shinlon asks how this is any different from before, and Gokuu answers "fight me and find out." Ii rushes in to attack; its punch is easily blocked, and Gokuu asks "what's wrong?" He easily evades Ii's blows because he can sense the dragon's energy patterns even without the use of his eyes. Ii attacks more.
Then, Gokuu destroys part of the city with an energy ball in an attempt to avenge Suu's death. He still senses the minus energy from Ii. However, Ii stops running when it gets to a clock tower. It rips off the clock face, saying that the disk doesn't have any energy for Gokuu to sense. The dragon throws the disk, missing its target. The man stands in place, laughing, while Ii watches the disk arc back and bear down on the hero from behind. At the last moment, Ii yells for Gokuu to be sliced, and Gokuu spins to stop the disk with his bare hands. Ii is surprised by this. But, Gokuu states that his hearing works just fine. He says that this one is for Suu-shinlon, throws the disk and prepares Kamehame-ha. Ii evades the disk, then looks on in shock as the Kamehame-ha hits it full on.
Ii appears to be dead, and everyone else rejoices. Gokuu smiles. The others congratulate him when he returns to their midst, and he thanks them for their help. Trunks asks where the Dragon Balls are, and Gokuu answers that they are scattered around. Pan finds one, but the ball bounces away, and into Ii-shinlon's waiting hand. The dragon is rather scratched up, and is finished fooling around with them. It summons all of the Dragon Balls, and swallows them. It tells the heroes to look at its new, more perfect form, and powers up.
Ii-shinlon is now bulkier, with longer horns, and all 7 Dragon Balls embedded in its chest. The Balls have been refilled with minus energy and have turned black again. The narrator asks whether Ii has surpassed Gokuu, and if Gokuu can't power up any further.

Episode #60
(Aired 10/22/97)

Fyuu-jon!! Kyuukyoku no Suupaa Gojiita
Fu--sion!! The Ultimate Super Gojiita

SSJ4 Gokuu and SSJ4 Vejiita try to stare down Super Ii-shinlon, while the others (Bulma's and Chi Chi's families) eagerly anticipate the two fighters' using Fusion. Pan tries to get Trunks to explain what "Fusion" is. Gokuu thinks about this, having forgotten about it as a possible attack method. Ii flies in to continue fighting, but is intercepted by Trunks, who really wants to see the two elders Fuse. Ii grabs Trunks to break his neck, and Bulma shoots her Brute Ray at Ii, complaining about anyone that would try to hurt her boy. Ii destroys the Brute Ray car, and Gohan has to rescue Bulma from the explosion. She yells at the dragon for having messed up her machine. Ii tries to reach Gokuu and Vejiita again. Trunks flies in pursuit, and Gohan tells Goten to help slow down Ii to give the other two time to Fuse. Pan again demands that someone tell her what Fusion is.
Ii easily bats the "annoying flies" out of the air as Gokuu looks on. Vejiita demands to use Fusion right away, and Gokuu laughs. The Saiya-jin Prince asks what's so funny, and Gokuu answers that he's just happy that Vejiita has volunteered to Fuse on his own; Vejiita thinks that this is stupid. Vejiita gets into the pose; Gokuu praises him for this, and follows suit. Trunks tries to keep Ii busy, but the "interferring brat" gets knocked away. Gokuu and Vejiita complete the Fusion dance (which looks really dumb) and the magic begins. A big yellow ball forms around them, and Ii flies into it, only to be blown back out.
The light dies down, and a new figure steps forward. He has loose white pants, black boots, lots of muscles, red fur, and funky red hair. Ii demands to know who this guy is. Super Gojiita answers (in a combination of both voice actors) "Neither Gokuu nor Vejiita, I am the one that will defeat you", then scowls at the dragon. This tiny twitch of muscle is enough to smash Ii away. Everyone else is impressed, and Pan realizes that the two men have combined. Goten corrects her, saying that they've merged. Doesn't really matter what they call it -- the result is still impressive. Uubu stumbles forward, looking really bashed up, agreeing that Fusion is great. Uubu desperately wants to Fuse with Trunks, Goten, or Gohan to continue fighting. But, the others want to wait until Uubu is healed first.
Ii flies in again, gets near Gojiita, then flies backwards with a bloody nose. Gojiita offers to slow down his triple punch so that Ii can see it this time. Ii attacks again, and Gojiita punches the dragon in the face three times REALLY fast, and kicks Ii in the head. Bulma and Chi Chi are impressed, and Pan cheers on her grandfather. Ii can't believe that this is happening to it, and attacks again. Ii misses, and smashes into the ground. Gojiita insults the bumbling fool, which makes Ii angry. The dragon says that a small power up like this is not enough to defeat it, and starts blasting away with hundreds of its energy bullets, while yelling "Die, die, die!" But this time, Gojiita just stands in place, looking serious.

[Commercial Break]

Gojiita stands in place, and a cloud of debris forms around him. The cloud fades, and it looks like the hero has been seriously hurt. Instead, he was just enjoying having his chest scratched. He asks Ii to do that again to get the itch in his back. Ii tells Gojiita to stop bluffing, and rushes in, only to get elbowed in the face, and then smashed into a building.
Gojiita says that it's time to use his new super abilities, and splits up. There are now 5 Gojiitas. They say that they are going to fire off five simultaneous Kamehame-ha's. Ii braces for the attack, but Gojiita is just joking around, and pops off some party favor firecrackers instead. The Gojiitas wag their tongues at Ii, and disappear in a cloud of smoke. The real Gojiita laughs so hard that he hurts his stomach. Ii goes into a rage at being toyed with. Gojiita wants the dragon to get more serious, saying that he can easily beat the dragon with one finger. Ii demands that the black Dragon Balls give it their powers. The Balls emit rays of red light that form into a big red energy ball, that then shrinks into what Ii describes as a "minus energy Power Ball". The blackish-red Power Ball is about 5 feet in diameter. Ii says that it is sending Gojiita to hell, and pushes the Power Ball at him. The Ball destroys buildings nearby, and the spectators fly away to safety. Uubu stays his ground, realizing that the Power Ball is strong enough to wipe out the planet.
Gojiita waits, stands up, powers up, and intercepts the Power Ball. He kicks it into space, where it explodes. The blast is powerful enough to attact Kaiou-bit's attention, way out at Kaiou-shin Planet. Kaiou-bit is preparing rice for supper, notices the blast via the crystal ball, and yells for "Gou-sen-sama." Dai Kaiou-shin arrives, asking if supper is ready. Kaiou-bit has to stop the old coot from opening the rice cooker, then tries to get the coot's attention on the battle occurring on Earth.
Gojiita explains that when he'd come in contact with the Power Ball, he'd countered it with his own plus energy. Rather than being a Matter/Anti-Matter reaction, the result was 0 where the two energies cancelled each other out.
Next comes Gojiita's Big Bang Kamehame-ha, which looks like a blueish-white sphere with a vertical white plane cutting through it. The BBKHH explodes, and six of the Dragon Balls fall to Earth, returned back to their normal healthy glow. Pan catches the #4 Ball, and Trunks thinks that the battle is over. But, Ii pulls itself back together, having retained the #1 Ball. Looking badly battered, Ii happily claims that it is still capable of fighting. Gojiita is annoyed, then says that he'll only need one more blast to finish Ii completely.
But, as the hero prepares Black Bomb Kamehame-ha, the Fusion wears off and Gokuu and Vejiita split up. Gokuu wonders what's wrong, since they should have had 10 more minutes. Vejiita yells at him, saying that Fusion is supposed to last longer than 30 minutes. Gokuu laughs realizing that being in SSJ4 form had caused the lifespan of Fusion to be shortened. Vejiita yells at him again. Ii says that it's too bad that they'd lost their chance, but Gokuu claims that they can still defeat the weakened dragon in 10 minutes.
Ii asks if he can be so sure of that, and starts summoning the Dragon Balls to swallow them up again. Gokuu grabs the #4 Ball as it escapes from Pan's grasp. Gokuu refuses to let Ii get the one with old Son Gohan's spirit in it.

------------------------------------------

[Commercial Break]

On Kaiou-shin Planet, Kaiou-bit has to destroy Dai Kaiou-shin's radio to get the old coot's attention on the terrible battle taking place on Earth. But the coot pulls a gag about stretching out first. He says that there's nothing they can do to help Gokuu, except for thinking about how Gokuu can perfect his timing in order to complete the Fusion dance. Meanwhile, Ii keeps winning, and states that if one of the heroes dies, then the other can't complete the Fusion. The dragon first targets Vejiita, then gets Gokuu in a headlock. Gokuu gets free, but the fighting continues. Gokuu and Vejiita see that Ii is unscathed, so they have no choice but to Fuse. Ii announces that when it is done with them, it will destroy Earth, and then wipe out the galaxy. Gokuu reminds Vejiita that they are both Saiya-jin warriors, and they attack again, only to get beaten up more.
Gokuu is about to give up, when his reflections in some broken glass give him an idea. Ii praises Gokuu for having the power to stand up again, and the hero tells Vejiita to use Sanzou-ken. The Saiya Prince catches on, and tells Ii to watch them complete Fusion. They move forward, and Ii blasts them again. But this time, there's no bodies lying around.
Ii keeps attacking after images, not realizing that the two heroes are moving so fast as to appear to be in more than one place at a time. The real Vejiita and Gokuu retreat to a distant roof, and they finally get the Fusion pose finished. But, when the blinding light fades away, Gokuu and Vejiita are still standing in place, touching fingers. Ii and Vejiita both ask what went wrong, and Gokuu blames Vejiita for screwing up by not holding his fingers correctly at the end. Vejiita objects to this, claiming to have done the stupid dance perfectly. Pan demands to know what the problem is, and Trunks thinks that maybe Ii had drained too much of Gokuu's energy during the fight, and that maybe Gokuu's level doesn't match Vejiita's anymore.
Ii lets them try again, even though this means that if they succeed, Gojiita can destroy Ii. They try the dance, and fail a second time. On top of which, when the light fades away, Gokuu has fallen out of SSJ4 mode and is a young boy again. He laughs embarrassedly at this, while Ii states that it's just a matter of time before the same thing happens to SSJ4 Vejiita.
Ii prepares to attack Vejiita, as the Prince backs up. The narrator comments on these events, and points out that the #4 Dragon Ball is emerging from the middle of Gokuu's forehead. Gokuu states that it's not going to be that easy to defeat them.

------------------------------------------

[Commercial Break]

Inside the fireball, Suu tells Ii that there's no way to escape, and it lets Ii go. Ii gets encased in red crystal. Suu states that it can not forgive Ii for shooting it in the back, which is why Ii is going to die now. Ii prepares an energy ball, and Suu says that if there is an explosion inside the burning sphere, it'll trigger a bigger blast that will kill Ii instantly. Ii breaks free of the red crystal, but can't bring itself to shoot. Suu continues, saying that Ii prefers to shoot its victims in the back, and turns around. Ii still can't attack, so Suu plans to finish off the coward with its own energy attack. Ii asks if this will trigger the fireball and kill Suu as well. The #4 dragon calls Ii an idiot, adding that Suu isn't going to be hurt by its own technique. Gokuu yells for Suu to stop, and not risk itself this way.
The fireball explodes, creating a second sun on Earth's horizon, and shakes up the city. Later, a small ball of fire sets down; Vejiita thinks that it's Ii-shinlon, still alive, while Gokuu runs up to greet Suu-shinlon. Suu apologizes and starts to break up. Ii steps out of Suu's skin, and because everything is over now, explains that it had realized that Suu's body would be safe from the fireball. So, Ii had sent the evil Dragon Balls forward to enter Suu's body, and then allowed Ii's old body to destruct. Ii now has all 7 Dragon Balls again, and has returned to Super Ii-shinlon mode.
Gokuu won't allow Ii to get away with taking over Suu's body like that, and Ii asks the boy what he is going to do about it. Gokuu flies in to attack, and is easily punched away. Gokuu uses Kamehame-ha. Ii asks if he still thinks that technique will have an effect on it, and uses millions of energy bullets in return. Vejiita flies to rescue Gokuu, while Ii is pleased that its ultimate form is so perfect. Ii likens itself to a god of death that will soon sweep the galaxy.
Dai Kaiou-shin says that it's all over now. Kaiou-bit asks what will happen if the heroes lose, and the coot yells that Kaiou-bit is a Kaiou-shin, and should already know the answer. The minus energy will cover the Earth, killing everything. Earth will explode, sending the minus energy out to space, where all of the other planets will suffer the same fate. The Kaiou planet will be destroyed as well, so Kaiou-bit says that they'd better escape now while they can. He is joking, but the old coot claims that this is not a time for levity.
Ii is about to attack again, and Vejiita powers up; only to fall out of SSJ4 mode. He yells for Bulma to use the Brute Ray on him again, and his wife apologizes that her machine has been destroyed. Gokuu thinks that Vejiita should now be able to go to SSJ4 whenever he wants to, having been at that level once already. Vejiita shouts that Gokuu is a special case, and that he himself can't go SSJ4 on his own. Ii asks them to decide which one of them should die first. Gokuu complains of not having enough energy, and Vejiita tells him to shut up. The narrator comments on these events, and asks Gokuu what the boy is going to do now that Vejiita can't go SSJ4.

------------------------------------------

[Commercial Break]

Trunks silently tells his mother "goodbye" and flies after his father. Pan notices this, and Gohan gives Satan to her. Videl gets Bulma, and Uubu gets Chi Chi. Chi Chi tells Goten to fight bravely, reminding him that he is the child of Gokuu. Gohan and Goten fly after Trunks. The others continue flying away. The destruction of the planet continues, and the old dog Mayor (from DBZ) is on TV to calm people down. The TV goes blank, and then another announcer comes on to yell that the Mayor's tower has just exploded. There is panic everywhere. Then, this city also explodes. Lying at the bottom of his crater, Gokuu silently pleads for everyone to lend him their energy in order to make a Genki Dama.
Vejiita is losing, then is evilly happy when Trunks, Goten, and Gohan show up to help out. They all go SSJ and get beaten up more. Vejiita tries to attack Ii from behind, but the dragon makes its spikes grow longer. Vejiita gets impaled, and Ii zaps him with "Dragon's Thunder". Vejiita sees the others lying on the ground, and asks the spirit of Kakarot to help him in battle. He attacks yet again, and gets kicked to the edge of Gokuu's crater.
Vejiita starts laughing. Ii says that he will be buried in the same grave as Gokuu. Vejiita keeps laughing, and claims that Ii has lost. He passes out. Behind him, Gokuu rises from the crater, with a big Genki Dama above his head. Ii is shocked that Gokuu is still alive, and the boy gloats back at it. The surviving Earthlings happily donate their energy, and the Genki Dama's positive energy causes all of the minus energy to retreat from the sky. Ii tries to shoot the boy with its energy bullets, but they explode harmlessly around him.
Gokuu telepaths to Kaiou-sama. The world king congratulates the boy on making the wise choice of using his Genki attack. But Gokuu cuts him off, saying that he's taken all of the life energy on Earth, and it's not enough. He wants Kaiou-sama to use telepathy to allow Gokuu to plead with all life-forms across the galaxy to help him out. Kaiou-sama is dubious, but tries anyway (with the aid of the other three Kaiou's).
Gokuu asks people to give their life energy to him, and they do.
Everyone on New Namek raises their hands.
The Para Brothers use a stupid dance to make their aerobics class on planet Ruudo raise their hands.
Don Kia and partners are in jail, but they raises their hands just like all of the other Immegans do.
The giant on planet Monmaasu raises his hand.
Zuunama is working in a field as a farmer, and the big catfish raises his hands along with everyone else on planet Kerubo.
Even the people on the hospital planet raise their hands (the alien boy that Baby had first possessed is still a patient there, and is still in a wheelchair). The life energies come streaming in to Earth, and blast by Pan, Videl, and Uubu. Pan puts her hands in the streams, and can tell what planets the energies are from. She senses that her grandfather is still alive, and they fly back to the crater.
Gokuu thanks everyone for their help. Ii throws a Power Ball at him, to no effect. The Genki Dama is huge, and Pan says that Gokuu looks like a god right now. He throws the Genki Dama, while Ii tells him to wait a second here. The Ball destroys the dragon, creates a big gorge across the land, and flies into space to explode.
The others call out to Gokuu, and run up to him. The boy is lying limply on the ground and does not react when Pan shakes him. The Dragon Balls are restored to normal, and suddenly, Shenlon appears without having been summomed. Bulma comments that something is wrong here, while the narrator tells us that something is strange about Shenlon. The narrator asks what it is that is about to happen next.

Episode #64
(Aired 11/19/97)

Saraba Gokuu... Mata Au Hi Made
Goodbye, Gokuu... Till the Day We Meet Again

The narrator starts out by saying that Gokuu was fighting Ii-shinlon, and defeated the evil dragon by using a huge Genki Dama. This establishes Gokuu as the Galaxy's #1 fighter. The narrator ends by reminding us that Shenlon has awakened.
Shenlon hovers in the sky. Bulma comments that something is wrong -- the sky has not turned dark. Gohan agrees that this isn't the way things normally go. Shenlon speaks in a low, slow rumble, telling Gokuu to stand up. The boy is healed, and looks up (Chi Chi is happy), noticing that all of the Dragon Balls must have been restored. Shenlon asks if he understands why the Dark Dragons had appeared. Gokuu answers that it's because they used the Dragon Balls to make so many wishes. Shenlon continues, adding that this is why they (the Z Fighters) can not be allowed to make any more wishes from now on.
Gokuu understands, but asks for Shenlon to grant one final wish anyway. Shenlon asks what it is, and the boy asks for the people killed in the last round of fighting to be brought back to life. He says that the evil dragons had killed innocent people, and they don't deserve to remain dead. He adds that the damage done to the planet can be repaired by the people of Earth themselves. Shenlon agrees, and grants the wish. People everywhere are surprised to find that they are alive again (they'd be more surprised to find themselves at the bottom of one of the crushed buildings at the same time...) Gill comes flying up (apparently, Shenlon considers the robot to be a living creature) calling Pan's name. Gill says that Pan is dangerous, but it loves her anyway.
Gokuu thanks Shenlon. The dragon states that the wish is granted, and it's time for them to leave now. Shenlon tells the boy to get on its back, and he asks if it's that time already. The others are surprised by this. Gokuu tells them that he'll be gone for just a short time, and Vejiita runs up to demand a chance to fight him again. Then, Vejiita realizes what's happening, and Gokuu quietly begs for the Prince to keep his secret from the others. Shenlon flies off into the clouds, with all 7 Dragon Balls encircling Gokuu. Chi Chi yells for her husband to come back soon.
Bulma thinks about the fact that they can't use the Dragon Balls anymore. She remembers when she first set out to find the Balls, and how that had started the chain of events that caused her to meet Gokuu, and that had brought all of the friends together. Shenlon and Gokuu fly over the planet. (In the desert below, where Yamcha used to be a bandit, Puaru watches as Yamcha tries to fix his car. Tenshinhan and Chau-zu are at the base of a waterfall; Tenshin bursts from under the falls to watch as Shenlon flies by.) Gokuu asks for a short detour.
At Kame House, Kuririn comments on Kamesennin's drooling over a porno mag. (Apparently, Kuririn's death at the hands of Super #17 was considered to be part of "this round of fighting". Kuririn, Kamesennin, and the sea turtle are alone at the house.) Kuririn and the turtle make fun of the old pervert, until Gokuu drops by. Kuririn is happy to see his friend again, but since Gokuu still looks like a young boy, and Kamesennin never changes, Kuririn gets depressed that he is the only one that has gotten old with time. Gokuu challenges the grey-haired runt to a fight for old time's sake. They spar, and Gokuu gets punched in the face. He laughs, and says that Kuririn hasn't changed a bit. The runt starts to say that he and #18 still train occasionally, then discovers that Gokuu has disappeared. Kamesennin realizes what is happening, (that Gokuu is saying his final goodbyes to his friends) and thanks the Dragon Balls for this. The ocean waves come in and wash away Gokuu's footprints from the sand on the beach.
In Hell, Piccolo is saving some of the oni from a villian that is terrorizing them. The oni cheer him, and Piccolo notices Gokuu sitting on some rocks nearby. The demon berates the boy for getting stuck in Hell again, but all Gokuu wants to do is shake hands. They do, and a spark encircles their grip. Piccolo wonders what this is about, and Gokuu says that he won't forget their time together. Then, the boy disappears again.

[Commercial Break]

When Shenlon had left them, Chi Chi had shouted for Gokuu to return soon. She is depressed, having had planned to cook a big supper for them. Goten and Gohan eagerly look forward to another Pauzu Mountain Stew special. Bulma states that it is time for them to return home as well. Uubu hopes that they will all remain healthy, and flies away. Goten takes Chi Chi home so that she can start cooking right away. Trunks notices that Pan is standing next to the crater, looking sad. She asks if the Dragon Balls are really gone for good. He assures her that as long as they do their best on their own, if they really need to find the Dragon Balls, the Balls will be there for them to find. Pan cheers up, and says that she will try her best. Trunks leaves, and Pan discovers Gokuu's tattered clothing on the ground. She wonders if Gokuu has gone off with Shenlon for good. Vejiita solemnly implies that Kakarot has, and then flies away by himself. Pan sniffs Gokuu's clothing, and says "granpa".
Shenlon soars through the clouds. Gokuu comments that the dragon's back feels so nice and warm. The boy falls asleep, and all seven Dragon Balls enter his body. When the #4 Ball enters his forehead, Gokuu disappears. Shenlon coils up, and flies at the camera. The screen turns white.

It is now 100 years in the future, and the latest Tenka-ichi Budoukai is about to start. A perky, young, punky announcer works the crowd, telling them to look at the ragged boy standing in the middle of the stage. The announcer points at the two big statues near by -- one is of the Budoukai's greatest fighter: Son Gokuu; the other is of the legendary Mr. Satan. The announcer yells out that Gokuu, Jr. is the great-great-great grandson of both heroes. Pakku is stunned at learning of Gokuu, Jr.'s blood line, and Pan brags that she herself is the granddaughter of both heroes.
Gokuu, Jr. repeats "I will win" to himself, when a young Vejiita comes out to start the first round. Pan wonders about this, and a young woman sits down beside her, making fun of Gokuu, Jr.'s chances. The woman's wrist phone rings -- and it turns out that this is the latest head of Capsule Corp. (she looks like a 20-year old Bulma, but her name is not given.) Pan understands why the other boy looks like Vejiita (he is from Vejiita's bloodline). (Apparently, Chi Chi's family and Bulma's family stopped talking long ago, and they'd dropped out of touch. Pan didn't know that Trunks had had any children to continue the heritage.) Pan looks forward to an interesting confrontation, and she shouts out for Gokuu, Jr. to fight full out.
The round starts, and the audience is stunned to see both children flying around, fighting like mad. The boys take a break, and Vejiita, Jr. is amused that Gokuu, Jr. is the first person ever to make him fight at full power. Vejiita, Jr. goes SSJ. Gokuu, Jr. says the same thing back, and goes SSJ as well. Vejiita, Jr. comments that the other boy can make his hair turn yellow, too, and they fight more. Pan, Pakku, and the other kids cheer for Gokuu, Jr., then suddenly, Pan notices an adult Gokuu, Sr. happily watching on from the other side of the stadium. Pan tries to reach him, but loses her grandfather in the crowd. Gokuu, Sr. walks away, and the opening theme song starts playing.

The narrator says that with the appearance of baby Gokuu, things have been fun. There now follows a series of short takes showing highlights of the entire TV series, from when Bulma first met Gokuu, up to the defeats of Cell, Buu, and Baby. At the same time as the music plays, the voice actor credits roll by for ALL of the major characters from DB/DBZ/DBGT.

When the music ends, the narrator continues, saying that the bright, gentle Gokuu is the one that everyone likes best. Now, as the adult Gokuu takes the expanding staff and flies off with Kintouen, the narrator concludes that Gokuu's story has come to an end. (In Japanese: "Oshimai".) The words "The End/Oshimai" appear on the screen.

The preview for next week's show has Gokuu introducing Arale, and the start of Dr. Slump. Arale has a very strange voice -- young and extremely girlish.
