Movie 2


World's Strongest Man...

(Original Air Date: 03-10-90)

Oolong steals Bulma's Dragon Radar to locate the Dragonballs. (Oolong wants to make a wish for a girl's underwear.) He and Gohan are in the northern glaciers to find the Dragonballs, but discover that someone else has already gathered them and made a wish. Upon the wish, a lab is rebuilt. Gohan and Oolong go near the lab to investigate, but are attacked by bio-men (sort of like the Saiba-men). Piccolo rescues them, but is defeated by three androids. Meanwhile, Gohan and Oolong escape.

A few days later, an android appears in the Kame House and kidnaps Bulma. She is used to lure Master Roshi to its lab in the glaciers. In the lab, we meet Dr. Wheel. It turns out that he is a giant brain functioning inside a giant machine. 50 years ago, his he and his lab were destroyed and buried in ice. Now that they are released with the help of the Dragonballs, Dr. Wheel wants to find the strongest man on Earth and take over his body. (He believes that Master Roshi is the strongest because Master Roshi won the martial arts tourament at the time he got "iced".) Next, Master Roshi is put in a secluded room to fight the three androids that defeated Piccolo. Master Roshi is defeated.

Meanwhile, Gokou is on his way to rescue Bulma and Master Roshi. Dr. Wheel's computer picks up Gokou's signal. Bulma sees it and exclaims that Gokou is the strongest man, not Master Roshi. Dr. Wheel fights this interesting and sends his three androids to fight Gokou. Gokou fights and is joined by Gohan and Krillin. They kill the androids and find Dr. Wheel. Here, they meet with Piccolo, who is brainwashed by some golden straps placed around his head. Gokou and Piccolo battle while Gohan tells them to stop fighting. Because Dr. Wheel brainwashed his idol (Piccolo), Gohan releases a wave of energy at Dr. Wheel in an attempt to destroy the brain. This shockwave releases Piccolo from Dr. Wheel's control. Meanwhile, Krillin tries to rescue Bulma but ends up running from another android's machine-gun. Master Roshi escapes Dr. Wheel's prison and aids Krillin. Bulma is freed.

With the tie of the battle turning, Dr. Wheel gets angry. It turns out that the machine Dr. Wheel is placed in is really a robot built into the lab. Dr. Wheel unleashes his body (thus destroying the lab) and begins to attack our heroes. The robot seems unable to be defeated, but Gokou creates a Genki-dama fireball and destroys Dr. Wheel.

Afterwards, the good guys stand together and joke that Master Roshi is really the world's dirtiest man.
