Dragon Ball Volume 28: The Young Man from the Future

Akira Toriyama: I can't just sit around and do nothing. If I am not immersed in something, then I get restless; I feel like a shark that will die if it doesn't swim. It doesn't matter how boring the activity is, just as long as I am immersed in it. So when there's nothing that I want to do, I will nervously pace up and down the house. If only work is something I am immersed in...

Introduction to Appearing Characters (approximately from right to left, then top to bottom): Kaio-Sama, Son Goku, Kuririn, Bulma, Son Gohan, Vegita, Piccolo, Trunks, Freeza
Previously...

A long, long time ago there were seven Dragon Balls, which, when gathered, would summon Shenlong and grant a wish. One of the many that sought the Dragon Balls was Son Goku, who, after many adventures, finally gathered all seven. But, so that they would not be used for evil, a stupid wish was made. Shenlong granted that wish, and he could be summoned until one year later. During this time, Goku trained under Kamesennin, then continued his quest for the Dragon Balls. After constant training, Goku finally achieved his goal of winning first place at the Tenka-Ichi-Budokai. Later, Goku, along with Earth's invader Vegita, Freeza, and others, to bring back the lost Dragon Balls, began a great battle on Namek. And in Goku's battle to the death with the super monster Freeza, he finally became Super Saiyajin. Now, the fight reaches its climax!

Episode 326: A Meaningless Outcome

Page 8
Freeza: You can't fool me!

Page 9
Freeza: YAAH!

Page 10
Freeza: I did it!
Goku: Ah!
Freeza: !?
Goku: Freeza, the real me is here...

Page 11
Freeza: A false image? Not bad...
Goku: I don't want to fight you anymore...these boring tricks are not what I expected...if you insist on continuing, wait until you've recovered.
Freeza: Boring tricks?
Freeza: HOW ABOUT TWO AT A TIME?

Page 12
Goku: This guy's asking for it!

Page 13
Freeza: Only a person with no skills will repeat the same move...

Page 14
Freeza: Ahh!
Freeza: Damn it! Child's play...
Freeza: Ahh!

Page 16
Freeza: Sh...it!
Goku: Don't stand! Get down! GET DOWN!

Page 18
Goku: !!
Freeza: How is this possible...

Page 19
Freeza: Argh...ahh...ow...
Goku: Even though you deserved it, this kind of end is still too horrible...
Freeza: Shit...shit...shit...

Page 20
Goku: I'm going back to Earth. You'll have to share the fate of the planet you've destroyed...
Freeza: Hack! Hack...
Freeza: Ooh...ooh...
Freeza: Please...help me...save me...
Kaio-Sama: Don't delay! Get out, NOW!
Freeza: Help me...

Page 21
Goku: When other people begged you for mercy, you still killed them! How dare you ask me to save you now!
Freeza: I'm begging you...
Goku: There...that ki is enough for you to move...figure a way out for yourself...

Episode 327: The end of everything

Great Elder: ...everyone could be resurrected and escape to earth...was for this reason...
Namek 1: But, Great Elder...where are the people of Elder Jeru's village?
Namek 2: Yeah...
Vegita: It was probably the village that I completely destroyed...
Vegita: You asked for the people killed by Freeza and his men to be brought back to life? I'm not one of Freeza's men...I was fired.

Page 24
Nameks 1+2: Grrr...
Great Elder: The Namekkian Dragon Balls have followed us to here as well. I said before: I don't have long to live... Great Elder (to Namek 3): From now on, you are the new Great Elder. Restore the splendor of the Dragon Balls and use them well.
Namek 3: I will.
Great Elder: May peace...descend upon Namek...
Great Elder: Eh...
Various Nameks: Great Elder! Great Elder...
Piccolo: Great Elder...please rest in peace...

Page 25
Gohan: ...........?
Dende: Now I get it! You fused with Nail, didn't you?
Bulma: Hey, where's Son-kun and Kuririn?
Gohan: Kuririn-san...was killed by Freeza...and Dad stayed to fight...but he'll come back! I know he will...
Bulma: Wait a minute! Wasn't Kuririn killed by Freeza? Why wasn't he resurrected?
Gohan: People who have been resurrected by the Dragon Balls can't be brought back twice.
Bulma: Oh...I see...
Dende: Eh? Twice?...You mean to say that Earth's Dragon Balls can't resurrect people twice?
Gohan: Huh?

Page 26
Bulma: Then...
Dende: For the Namekkian Dragon Balls, as long as the death isn't natural, it doesn't matter...
Gohan: So, next time, if we use the Dragon Balls to wish...then Kuririn and Chaozu can be brought back!
Piccolo: Still, Son was too impulsive...his power is nothing compared to Freeza. He has no chance of winning...he is going to his death!
Gohan: No, dad WILL win against Freeza!
Piccolo: What?
Gohan: I saw it. Daddy finally became...
Gohan: A Super Saiyajin!

Page 27
Vegita (thinking): What...?!?

Page 28
Freeza: I don't believe it...you actually...gave me your ki...
Goku: Feel lucky that you're alive, don't you? Then hurry and leave this planet. I hope that now you will value your life!
Freeza: ..........
Freeza: Heh...heh heh...
Freeza: In the moment before Namek explodes...where can you go? There is only death for you as well...
Goku: Yes, I won't be able to make it to my ship in time...so I'm planning to use yours.

Page 29
Freeza: Ha ha ha! Sorry, that ship was wrecked by Vegita! Isn't it ironic: you won but get death, while I get saved!
Freeza: ..........that's because you were too confident and gave me some of your ki...
Goku: ..........I will live.
Freeza (thinking): I am the strongest in the universe! So...so you must die by my hands!

Page 30
Freeza: I WANT TO KILL YOU MYSELF!

Page 32
Goku: IDIOT!

Page 33
Freeza: !!

Goku: ....................

Episode 328: Planet Namek Vanishes

Page 36
Kaio-Sama: Freeza is dead...Goku gave him his ki...but who knew that he would try to attack again?
Kaio-Sama: Goku had no choice but to defend himself...
Yamcha: That's great!
Tenshinhan: I didn't know that Super Saiyajin were so strong.
Tenshinhan: Goku's now the strongest in the universe...he's way beyond all of us...

Page 37
Kaio-Sama: He is the universe's strongest for only an instant...
Yamcha: Eh?
Kaio-Sama: Namek is about to explode...Goku doesn't have time to get to his ship...the nearest ship is Freeza's but it appears to be nonfunctional...
Yamcha, Chaozu, Tienshinhan: ....................
Yamcha: What...? No...Goku can definitely think of a way to escape...a Super Saiyajin should have the abilities to solve this crisis...
Kaio-Sama (to Goku): Hurry! You must get out, fast!

Page 38
Goku: I've got to make it!

Page 39
Goku: Right here!
Goku: Thrusters...
Goku: Great! This ship is pretty much like the one that I rode here.
Goku: This one! (other speech bubble: 'click!')

Page 40
Goku: Please move! Hurry up and start!
Goku: Move! Damn it...('click! Click!')
Goku: !!

Page 41
Goku: .....................

Page 42
Kaio-Sama: Oh, no...it can't be...
Kaio-Sama: Freeza's ship was Goku's last hope...but it won't start...

Page 43
Goku: The planet's going to explode...
Goku: SH--IT!!!
Kaio-Sama: Ah...can't bear to look...
Yamcha: Goku...don't die...
Yamcha: YOU CAN'T DIE!

Page 45
(top of page 45: 'blip!')
Yamcha: ...................
Tenshinhan: Kaio-Sama...
Kaio-Sama: Oh...oh...

Page 46
Kaio-Sama: !!
Kaio-Sama: Yes...it's all over now...
Yamcha: Goku...

Page 47
Kaio-Sama: What a shame...how do I tell Goku's son?
Yamcha: Allow me...
Kaio-Sama: Oh...?
Yamcha: Please...
Yamcha: There's a girl named Bulma with Gohan. Let me talk to her.
Kaio-Sama: Hmm...
Yamcha's voice: Bulma...can you hear me? It's me...Yamcha...
Bulma: ...!? Eh? Yamcha?
Yamcha: Yes, it's me. With Kaio-sama's help, I'm talking to your heart.
Bulma's voice: Heart? Really?
Gohan: What is it? Is Kaio-sama looking for you?
Bulma: You've guessed it, but at the moment I'm talking to Yamcha.

Page 48
Bulma: Are you well, Yamcha?
Yamcha's voice: Yeah. Even though I'm dead, I feel fine...
Yamcha: About Goku...I want you to listen calmly...Goku defeated Freeza, then...
Bulma: Hey, guys! Son-kun defeated Freeza!
Gohan: Really? That's great!
Vegita: Freeza...defeated by...Kakarrotto...?!?
Yamcha: Listen calmly! That's not all...
Yamcha: Goku tried to escape...but there wasn't enough time to get out...he died...
Bulma (she thought Yamcha was joking): Yo! Son-kun died when Namek exploded!
Yamcha: !!
Gohan: Dad didn't make it...
Yamcha (to Bulma): You moron! Think of Gohan! How could you talk like that!
Kaio-Sama: ...................

Page 49
Bulma: Ha! You don't know what's going on! The Namekkian Dragon Balls came with us to Earth...and the cool thing is, those Dragon Balls can resurrect people many times.
Yamcha: Eh?
Bulma: That means Son-kun, Kuririn, and Chaozu can be brought back to life.
Kaio-Sama: No...you're the one who doesn't understand...Chaozu will be resurrected here, whereas Goku and Kuririn will be resurrected at Namek...but Namek doesn't exist anymore...
Kaio-Sama: In the nothingness of space, they'll die again as soon as they're brought back to life...Nake's not in my sector, so...I can't do anything about it...
Bulma: ...................
 

Episode 329: Goku Can't Come Back

Page 50
Gohan: Dad and Kuririn can't be resurrected?
Bulma: No...to be brought back to life, Chaozu can since he's at Kaio-Sama's, but Son-kun and Kuririn died on Namek, and Namek is gone...
Bulma: What's worse, Namek is not in Kaio-Sama's realm of management.
Gohan: Merciful heavens...
Vegita: Why don't you use your head?
Vegita: If you move their souls here, they can be brought back, right?

Page 51
Bulma: Oh...
Bulma: That's right! Absolutely right! What a reminder!
Gohan: Thank you...('whap!')
Gohan: ...................
Vegita: Flattery will get you nowhere!
vegita (thinking): I just want to see Kakarrotto as a Super Saiyajin...and one day defeat him!

Page 52
Namek 3 (now the Great Elder): Excuse me, Earthling...
Bulma: Yes?
Great Elder: After the Dragon Balls are restored, we want to find a suitable planet to live in. Until then, could you find a place for us to stay?
Bulma: You can stay at my house! It's really big, so it'll be okay! And besides, we need to borrow your Dragon Balls. It's settled then! Such a big group wandering around would attract to much attention.
Bulma (to Vegita): Why don't you come too? You probably don't have any money, right?
Vegita: Hmph.
Bulma: I'll prepare lots of good food for you. But don't think that just because I'm so attractive that you can try anything!
Vegita: Woman with no class...and a loud mouth...

Page 53
Bulma: Just wait here for a while. I need to borrow a phone and call my dad.
Gohan: Oh, no!
Bulma: What? Is something wrong?
Gohan: ...................
Gohan: I...can I stay with you too?
Bulma: Gohan, I think it's better if you went home. Your mother is probably worried about you.
Gohan: I forgot to do my homework...mom's going to be mad...
Narration Box: And so the Namekkians temporarily went to live at Bulma's house in the Western Capital...and Vegita as well...

Page 54
Narration Box: The Namekkian Dragon Balls were restored in just 130 days and Poporunga was summoned. This sight was a great shock to all the inhabitants of the Western Capital...
Bulma: Oh...the real Shenlong is this...this big!
Dr. Briefs: Wow! This is totally amazing!
Poporunga: All right...say your first wish.

Page 55
Great Elder: We can wait until the next opportunity to wish. All three wishes are yours.
Gohan: Thank you, Great Elder!
Bulma: First, please call back the souls of Son Goku and Kuririn, who have died on Namek!
(Dende translates that into Namekkian)
Poporunga: Kuririn's soul has been brought here. But not Son Goku's.

Page 56
Bulma: Eh? Why not?
Poporunga: Because that person is still alive. A living person's soul cannot be moved.
Gohan: A...alive...
Kaio-Sama: He's still alive? How's that possible? What's going on...
Various People: That's great! All right!
Bulma: If he's still alive, then why doesn't he come back?
Gohan: Maybe his ship's broken.
Great Elder: Why don't you ask Poporunga for help?
Oolong: Yeah!

Page 57
Bulma: Okay...
Bulma: The second wish! Please bring Kuririn back to life!
Various People: Hooray!
Kuririn: Eh...?
Various People: He did it!
Poporunga: I have also fixed his broken body and armor.
Bulma: Thanks, Poporunga, you're really great. Now, the last wish...
Bulma: Please bring Son Goku here!
Various People: Yaay!

Page 58
Poporunga: No, that was refused. He said he'll come back on his own when it's time.
Bulma and Oolong: Eh?
Gohan: Refused? Why?
Kamesennin: I get it! His wife is too mean, so he doesn't want to come back! So the universe's greatest is actually Super Saiyajin Son Goku's wife!
Kamesennin: Uh...I was just kidding...
Piccolo: Son will be back when he'll be back. Wish back one of the people at Kaio-Sama's place.

Page 59
Narration Box: Chaozu wished to stay with Tenshinhan...So at this time Yamcha was revived. 130 days later, Chaozu and Tenshinhan were wished back to life, and the thrid wish was used to help the Namekkians (and their Dragon Balls) move to a new planet...
Narration Box: A year passed...but Goku still did not return...

Page 60
Gohan: What's the matter with dad? Doesn't he want to come home?
('thump!' or 'whatever noise a chair makes when it scrapes the ground' ^^;)
Gohan: Ah! Kuririn!
Kuririn: Gohan? Did you feel that? A really scary ki!
Gohan: Um!
Gohan: An extremely evil ki!
Kuririn: And it's approaching quickly...
Kuririn: Maybe it's just me, but...isn't that Freeza's ki?
Kaio-Sama: I don't believe it...Freeza should be dead...

Page 61
Piccolo: It...can't be...
Vegita: Hmph...that idiot Kakarrotto...didn't kill him!
Yamcha: Is that really Freeza's ki?
Bulma: What?
Tenshinhan: Not just Freeza...I also feel another powerful ki...
Chaozu: No way...

Page 62
Freeza: Dad...there's Earth...I think we got here before the Super Saiyajin that did this to me...

Page 63
Cold: What a tiny planet...just wipe it out with a wave of your hand!
Freeza: That's not enough! I want him to see how strong I've become...
Freeza: Heh heh...from the radar I know...that you are also flying towards Earth...soon we will find out who is really the strongest in the universe!
Gohan: This is bad! This is really bad...
Chi-Chi: Gohan, wait! Where are you going?
 

Episode 330: Freeza and Cold Land on Earth

Page 64
Gohan: Why did it turn out this way...
Gohan: It's dad! It's all his fault!

Page65
Gohan: !! Kuririn's ki!
Kuririn: Hi!
Gohan: Kuririn, you felt it too? Another strong ki, like Freeza's...
Kuririn: Yes...of course...because the ki was extremely large...
Gohan: What's going on?
Kuririn: That's what I'd like to know...

Page 66
Some bad guy: King cold, Prince Freeza, we have reached Earth.
Vegita: They should be landing somewhere around here.
Yamcha: Oh!
Bulma: Yo!
Yamcha: It's Bulma! That idiot!

Page 67
Bulma: Hey.
Pooaru: Yamcha!
Yamcha: What are you doing here?
Bulma: To see Freeza; I never got to on Namek.
Yamcha: You came just to look at him? You know how dangerous that is!
Bulma: Yes, but if Freeza wanted to destroy the Earth, then it doesn't matter where I am...
Bulma: So I want to know what kind of an alien he is.
Yamcha: .....................
Vegita: !
Yamcha: It's Tenshinhan and Chaozu!
(Tenshinhan lands)

Page 68
Tenshinhan: Vegita...here to make trouble again?
Chaozu: ....................
Vegita: Your point is...?
Tenshinhan: I was killed by your kind; I'm here only because Yamcha is.
Yamcha: Guys, wait! Please don't argue!
Tenshinhan: Things look bad...is it Freeza?
Yamcha: I think so...
Vegita: Don't talk! Hurry and control your ki, you idiots! They have Scouters!

Page 69
Vegita: The Namekkian is already prepared...
Yamcha: The Namekkian?
Someone: Piccolo!
Someone: When did he get here?
Kuririn: Gohan, everyone's over there!
Gohan: !!
Gohan: Piccolo's there, too!
Kuririn: They've all discovered it!

Page 70
Kuririn: Everyone!
Bulma: Hi!
Yamcha: Goku still hasn't arrived...
Piccolo: HERE IT COMES!

Page 72
Someone: It landed over there!
Gohan: There's no mistaking it: that was Freeza! He's still alive...
Kuririn: And besides Freeza, there is another!
Vegita: Listen! Don't fly! Approach slowly so that you won't be detected by the Scouters!
Tenshinhan: .......................
Yamcha: Hold it...
Yamcha: Freeza's ki is that frighteningly strong?
Gohan: This is even stronger than before!

Page 73
Tenshinhan: You've fought him before?
Yamcha: No way...are you kidding?
Yamcha: Even if we could go near him, it would be useless: his power is beyond measure...and there's two of them. There's no way we can fight against them...
Piccolo: So we just stay here and do nothing? Everyone knows the result of that...
Vegita: Want me to tell the truth?
Vegita: We're doomed.

Page 74
Freeza: Earth...not too bad of a planet...

Page 74
Cold: That Super Saiyajin won't be here for another three hours...do you want to wait for him?
Freeza: Of course, dad...

Page 76
Freeza: But to make him regret saving me, I want to kill all of the Earthlings. There are quite a bit of them, but three hours should be sufficient to do the job...
Freeza: Ha ha ha ha! Serves him right!
Cold: The Earthlings are nothing, but we have to destroy the Super Saiyajin at any cost. Our race, as the strongest in the universe, must not let him live.
Freeza: The two of us can definitely beat him. Or maybe I can handle him myself since I'm a lot stronger.

Page 77
Yamcha: Damn...I have to die again...and I was just resurrected, too...
Freeza: Okay! Spread out and destroy all of the Earthlings!
Soldiers: Yes, sir!
(Future Trunks lands)
 

Episode 331: The Mysterious Young Man

Page 78
Freeza: What do you want, Earthling?

Page 79
Future Trunks: I'm here to kill you...

Page 80
Freeza: "You're here to kill us"? Ha! Do you know who I am?
Future Trunks: Yes...you're Freeza, aren't you?
Freeza: !
Freeza: Yes...even aliens beyond the Milky Way know that...but too bad you don't know the extent of my power...
Freeza (to one of his soldiers): Deal with him.
Soldier: Yes, sir.

Page 81
Freeza (to the others): As for the rest of you, take care of the Earthlings.
Soldier (to himself): Battle power is only '5'...worthless piece of trash.
Soldier: !?

Page 82
Freeza: !!
Freeza: Oh...? Hmm...
Soldiers: CHARGE!

Page 83
(Future Trunks slices and dices)

Page 84
Bulma: What? What's the matter with you?
Kuririn: An enormous ki suddenly appeared...and many ki's instantly disappeared...
Yamcha: What's going on?
Kuririn: What in the world happened on the other side of the mountains?

Page 85
Cold: Ho ho...he's not bad...
Freeza: Heh heh...for an Earthling.
Future Trunks: You're next.
Cold: What admirable courage! Did you hear that? He wants to fight us!
Freeza: Weaklings who like to boast usually die young; shall I let him suffer a bit first?
Future Trunks: Listen, and listen well: I will kill both of you instantly.
Freeza: What? That sounds very interesting.

Page 86
Future Trunks: Attacking should be with full power. Unlike Son Goku, I will show no mercy...
Freeza: Son Goku? That's the name of that Super Saiyajin! So you're cohorts...
Future Trunks: I know his name, but I haven't heard of him...you said that you would kill all of the Earthlings before 'that Super Saiyajin' arrives...
Freeza: That's right! And you're one of them...and since you killed our men, we'll just have to do it ourselves...
Future Trunks: You've miscalculated...
Freeza: For us to get rid of Earth trash like you is a piece of cake.
Future Trunks: No...I'll say it again: you're wrong!

Page 87
Future Trunks: Son Goku isn't the only Super Saiyajin...I'm one of them, too...
Cold: What?
Future Trunks: AAAH!

Page 88
Freeza: Oh my God...
Cold: The brat's really a Super Saiyajin...

Page 89
Future Trunks: YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH, DON'T YOU?!?

Page 90
Piccolo and Vegita: !!
Someone: What was that?!?
Gohan: It's dad! It's the same size ki as Dad's when he was on Namek!
Kuririn: Ah...
Freeza: The one who has a death wish...is you!

Page 91
Someone: They've started fighting!

Page 92 Cold: Freeza, you did it! He was no match for us.
Future Trunks: Freeza!
Freeza: !!

Page 94
Freeza: !!
 

Episode 332: The Second Super Saiyajin

Page 97
Gohan: Kuririn! Over there!
Kuririn: Eh?
All: Oh!
Future Trunks: YAAH!
(sticks his sword back into its sheath)

Page 99
All: OH!
Vegita: That was definitely F...Freeza...
Gohan: He actually could instantly vaporize Freeza...
Bulma: Wow! You guys must have really great eyesight to see so well! Son-kun became so strong, and in such a short time...Earth has been saved again...
Yamcha: That wasn't Goku...it seems to be another Super Saiyajin.
Bulma: Eh?
Someone: !!

Page 100
Bulma: I want to go, too!
Future Trunks: Hmph.

Page 101
Cold: Not bad...you're a lot better than I thought...you instantly beat my son Freeza...
Cold: How would you like to take his place as my son? Only someone as strong as you can belong to our race...then all of the planets will be under your command...
Future Trunks: Not interested.
Cold: You don't want such a great honor? Too bad...but I find your sword to be rather interesting; let me borrow it...

Page 102
Cold: Please? (Translator's note: Obviously, he's being sarcastic.)
Cold: What? Afraid to give it to me?
(Catches it.) Cold: Hmm...this is a good sword...but it's because of this sword that you were able to win...don't you agree?
Future Trunks: What the hell are you trying to say?
Cold: Simple. In other words: without this sword, you definitely...
Cold: CAN'T BEAT ME!

Page 104
Cold: Uh...uh!
Future Trunks: Not necessarily.
Cold: Wa...WAIT!

Page 106
All: !!

Page 108
(Future Trunks puts the sword back)
Future Trunks: Hmm...
Future Trunks: I'm going to greet Son Goku! Want to come with me?

Page 109
All: WHAT?
Gohan: How does he know Dad...?
Future Trunks: It'll be near here...follow me!
Vegita (to himself): Who...who is he...? A Super Saiyajin? Impossible! Besides the three of us, there are no other Saiyajins...
 

Episode 333: Goku Returns

Page 110
Gohan: I'm going to follow him.
Kuririn: But...we don't know anything about him!
Tenshinhan: I'm going too. He defeated Freeza, and knows Goku...he shouldn't be an enemy. I want to find out more about him...

Page 111
Yamcha: But is he really going to welcome Goku back?
Bulma: And how does he know, anyway? This is weird...
Vegita: Let's follow him...and see what he's up to.
Future Trunks (to himself): 573...100220...it's probably around here...
('beep!' 'poof'!)

Page 113
Yamcha: Watch out: he just brought out something strange...
(Future Trunks opens the cooler)
Future Trunks: Goku-san won't be here for another three hours.
Future Trunks: There are a lot of drinks; feel free to help yourselves.
(opens a can)
Bulma: I'll take one.
Gohan: Me too.
Gohan: Then we we'll just take our own drinks.
Bulma: So this is a specially made refrigerator...
Kuririn: I want some, too...

Page 114
Bulma: Have we met?
Future Trunks: No...
Gohan: How do you know about my Dad?
Future Trunks: I've only heard of him; I've never seen him.
Bulma: Then how do you know that Son-kun will be here in three more hours?
Future Trunks: Uh...
Future Trunks: Sorry...I can't tell you...
Vegita: Why not? Who the hell are you, anyway? And where did you get such power?
Future Trunks: Sorry...I can't answer that, either.

Page 115
Vegita: Stop pretending! The only Saiyajins are me, Kakarrotto...and his half-earthling son, which is this brat. Besides the three of us, there can't be any other Saiyajins!
Future Trunks: .................
Gohan: But the truth is, he did become Super Saiyajin to defeat Freeza...
Vegita: ..................and Saiyajins should all have black hair!
Bulma: Oh!
Bulma: How come you also have the Capsule Corp. insignia on your jacket? Are you one of our employees?
Future Trunks: No...
Bulma: Even that's a secret? You can't even reveal your name or age?
Future Trunks: My name, no...but I'm seventeen...

Page 116
Tenshinhan: You can't even tell us your name? How strange...
Yamcha: Yeah...why be so secretive?
Bulma: Guys, don't ask him so many questions; you'll embarrass him! After all, he saved us and the earth.
Gohan: Piccolo, there's something I've always wanted to ask you...
Piccolo: What...
Gohan: Why didn't you go with the Namekkians when they left? Piccolo: Simple: I didn't want to live a normal, boring life...

Page 117
Gohan: So you're still in strict training?
Piccolo: Yep...
Bulma: Vegita's gone all day, too. He must be training somewhere...
Kuririn: Of course; with an ego like that, Vegita won't rest until he defeats Goku...after all, Vegita is the Saiyajin prince.
Future Trunks: Tsk...
Vegita: What are you staring at? If you really are a Saiyajin, then there's nothing to see. (Or: Just because you're a Saiyajin doesn't mean you're anything special.)

Page 118
Future Trunks: Sorry...
Vegita: Annoying jerk...
Tenshinhan: Maybe Goku met him [Future Trunks] on some other planet.
Chaozu: But he seems to be very familiar with Earth...
Tenshinhan: If Goku does come back soon like that fellow claims, then maybe everything will finally make sense...

Page 119
Future Trunks: Goku-san should be here soon.
Tenshinhan: Really...I feel a ki...
Yamcha: Someone is certainly coming...
Bulma: At the right time and place?
Gohan: It's Dad! It's his ki!

Page 120
Someone: Over there!

Page 122
('beep!')
Goku: Whew!
Goku: Huh?

Page 123
Someone: He made it!
Kuririn: Goku!
Gohan: Dad!
Goku: What are you guys doing here?
Goku: And how did you know I would come back today?
Vegita (thinking): He really is still alive...
Bulma (pointing to Future Trunks): This was the person who told us.
Gohan: Dad...you know him, right?
Goku: ..............................? Who is he?
Bulma, Goku, and Kuririn: Eh?
 

Episode 334: The Young Man From the Future

Page 124
Bulma: You really don't know him?
(Goku lands)
Goku: Um...no...
Bulma: But he knew when and where you would arrive...
Future Trunks: .....................
Goku: Really? That's weird! But Freeza discovered my ship and somehow knew that I was heading for Earth...
Goku: Oh, yeah: who defeated Freeza and his gang? I felt a very large ki. Was it Piccolo? Or Vegita?
Piccolo (referring to Future Trunks): He was the one who instantly destroyed them...and he's a Super Saiyajin like you.

Page 125
Goku: Super Saiyajin?
Goku (to Future Trunks): You're really strong for your age! I didn't know that there were other Saiyajins!
Vegita: Impossible! Besides you and me there can be no other Saiyajins.
Goku: Oh...but who cares? He is a Super Saiyajin.
Bulma: You've always been this careless...
Future Trunks: Goku-san, I have a few things to tell you...

Page 126
Yamcha: Why can't we know about it?
Goku: Sorry, guys...please wait here for a moment.
Future Trunks: Over here.
Goku: I should thank you for taking care of those bad guys; I really should have finished the job on Namek!
Future Trunks: Actually, you could have defeated them easily, but because there wasn't enough time, I had to act...

Page 127
Goku: Yeah...Freeza's ship got away so quickly. I guess they still hadn't learned...I was about to deal with them when you showed up.
Future Trunks: But you would have been three hours late...
Goku: No! I learned a new technique.
Future Trunks: A new technique?
Goku: Yes...it's called Shukdan Idou. (Literally: 'Instant Movement')
Future Trunks: Shukdan...Idou!?
Goku: The Yadratians taught me! They're not very strong but they have a lot of neat techniques.
Future Trunks: Oh...I accidentally changed history...I had originally wanted to see you alone, but I ended up meeting everyone...

Page 128
Goku: History? What are you talking about?
Future Trunks: Answer my question first: can you become Super Saiyajin by your own will?
Goku: At first, no...but now I've finally managed to control it.
Future Trunks: Can you...show me right now?
Future Trunks: Please...
Goku: Okay.
Someone: What are they talking about?

Page 129
Goku: Argh!
Piccolo: !!
Goku: How's this?

Page 130
Future Trunks: Thank you very much...how surprising! You look exactly like me when I'm a Super Saiyajin.
Bulma: What is Son-kun doing?
Gohan: He became a Super Saiyajin...
Tenshinhan: Super Saiyajin...
Yamcha: But he's not going to fight...is he?
Vegita: ................... no wonder he could defeat Freeza...
Goku: And then?
Future Trunks: I'm a Super Saiyajin too...

Page 131
Goku: I see...it really is very similar.
Tenshinhan: He's also a Super Saiyajin...
Yamcha: What are they thinking?!?

Page 132
Future Trunks: Sorry.
Goku: Eh?

Page 133
Kuririn and Gohan: !!
(Future Trunks stops at the last possible moment)
Future Trunks: Why didn't you avoid that?
Goku: Because your ki has no animosity; I knew you would stop.

Page134
Future Trunks: Oh...
Future Trunks: This time, I won't hold back!
Goku: Okay.
(Goku sticks up one finger)

Page 136
(Future Trunks jumps back)
Future Trunks: You really do live up to your reputation. And you're a lot stronger than I thought...
Future Trunks: And this sword just cut through Freeza like butter...
Goku: Actually, you had no intention of fighting me...
Future Trunks: I want to tell you everything.
Tenshinhan: Did you see that?
Yamcha: Yeah...scary guys...
Vegita: So that's a Super Saiyajin...

Page 137
Future Trunks: But please don't tell anyone; just remember it.
Goku: Okay. Don't worry; I won't say a word.
Future Trunks: Maybe you won't believe me, but...I came from twenty years in the future by a time machine.
Goku: Future? Twenty years after today?
Future Trunks: Yes.
Future Trunks: My name is Trunks...I have Saiyajin blood...because I'm the son of that Vegita over there...
Goku: EH?!? VEGITA'S SON???
 

Episode 335: The Horrible Message

Page 138
Goku: Y...you're really Vegita's son?
Future Trunks: That's right.
Goku: .....................
Goku: Now that you mention it...you really do kind of look like him...
Goku: He'll be your father...
Future Trunks: I'll be born in another two and a half years...

Page 139
Future Trunks: But I didn't come back in time to tell you that...there's something very important that you need to know...
Goku: Eh? Okay, tell me...
Future Trunks: Three years from now, on May 12 at noon, on an island 9 km southwest from the Southern Capitol, a terrible pair will appear...they're incredibly strong, beyond anything you have known...
Goku: ....................are they aliens?
Future Trunks: No, they're from Earth: they're the Jinzoningen, or Cyborgs*. Their inventor was the scientist for the Red Ribbon Army--Dr. Gero.
Goku: Red Ribbon Army!
Future Trunks: Um. You defeated the Red Ribbon Army, but Dr. Gero survived, and continued his research and work...

Page 140
Goku: Why? Is world domination still their goal?
Future Trunks: I'm not sure, but Dr. Gero does have those kinds of plans...
Future Trunks: But Cyborg Nos. 19 and 20, who were perfect killing machines, destroyed their creator--Dr. Gero. In other words, now they solely kill and destroy for the sake of "fun"...
Goku: If you, who defeated Freeza, think they're a handful, then they must be really strong...
Future Trunks: Um. I've tried to fight them, but since it was two against one, I barely managed survive...
Goku: Wait a minute..."two against one"? How about your comrades?
Future Trunks: There is no one else. Twenty years from now, I am the only warrior left...
Goku: ........!!

Page 141
Future Trunks: In a battle three years from now, my father, Kuririn, Yamcha, Tenshinhan, Chaozu, and Piccolo were all killed...Gohan-san escaped the massacre and taught me how to fight, but four years ago...
Future Trunks: Because Piccolo died, the Dragon Balls were ineffective and thus no one could be brought back to life...the Cyborgs slowly tortured everyone to death, one by one. In the future, my world is like a living hell...
Future Trunks: Damn! They're just too strong!
Goku: Wait, what about me? What happened to me? Was I also killed?
Future Trunks: You didn't even fight...in a little while you will contract a terrible disease...and then you will pass away...

Page 142
Goku: Eh?
Piccolo: Uh...
Future Trunks: You died of a heart attack...not even a Super Saiyajin could withstand the pain...
Goku: .....................
Future Trunks: (Sighs)...maybe it was fate, but...not even the senzu's were effective against the illness!
Goku: Damn...I'm going to die? That's not fair...I want to give them a good fight...
Future Trunks: .........................
Future Trunks: You regret that you can't fight them...? Aren't you afraid of them?
Goku: Of course I'm scared...but I want to see how strong they are, too.

Page 143
Future Trunks: You are undoubtedly a one hundred percent Saiyajin warrior...Mom and Gohan-san were right...you are worthy of great respect.
Future Trunks: When the disease sets in, take this.
Goku: What is it?
Future Trunks: Your medicine. As of now, your disease is incurable, but twenty years from now, special medicine has been developed to combat it...this will save you from dying...
Goku: Really? That's great! Thanks! You really should have told me earlier!
Future Trunks: Actually, this isn't very good...I'm changing history...but that kind of history...

Page 144
Future Trunks: I believe you know what to do. Mom did, and that was why she worked so hard to complete the time machine...
Goku: Uh...your mother knows me?
Future Trunks: Yes. Very well...
Goku: She can make time machines...it can't be...that your mother is...
Future Trunks: Yup, she's right over there...
Goku: AAAAH!!!
Goku: B...BULMA???

Page 145
Vegita: When are they going to stop talking? This is getting annoying!
Bulma: Son-kun looks very surprised...
Goku: This...this is too amazing! I thought for sure she was going to marry Yamcha! But Vegita...
Future Trunks: Yamcha-san was apparently rather non-committal, so Mom got mad and dumped him...and then she saw that Dad was lonely, so...but they didn't get married.
Goku: I don't get it. But, it really is possible...
Goku: Heh...
Future Trunks: Dad died when I was really young; this is the first time I've seen him...
Yamcha: I think he's looking this way...
Pooaru: And he seems to be smiling...

Page 146
Future Trunks: Uh...please keep this a secret. If you tell them, it might affect them, and then I might not exist...
Goku: I know, I know.
Future Trunks: I should go now, so that Mom won't be too worried.
Goku: Thank her for me.
Goku: I hope I can change your future.
Future Trunks: Um. Now that I've met you, I have hope again...
Goku: Will we ever see each other again?
Future Trunks: I don't know...it takes a long time to store the energy necessary to travel in time, but...if I can live that long, I will see you again in three years.

Page 147
Goku: Live! I will be training until then.
Tenshinhan: !!
Yamcha: Hey! There goes that guy!

Page 148
Goku: Oh, boy...what am I going to tell the others?
Kuririn: Goku! What did he say?
Goku: Uh...nothing, really...
Piccolo: Tell them! This is very important to us...
Goku: Eh? You heard us...
Piccolo: My hearing is a lot better than you humans'...
Bulma: What's so important...
Kuririn: ........?
Piccolo: If you don't know what to say, then let me do it.
Goku: B...but...

Page 149
Piccolo: Don't worry, if it affect his [Future Trunks'] existence, then I'll leave out that part...
Piccolo: If we don't train hard enough, we'll all die...
Bulma: D...die?
Narration Box: Avoiding the part about Trunks, Piccolo told them everything...
Narration Box: Everyone couldn't help showing their shock...

Page 150
Yamcha: It's a bit hard to believe...that kid was from the future.
Bulma: A time machine?
Piccolo: If you don't believe me, fine! But I'm going to train...I don't want to die.
Gohan: Eh?
Yamcha: What's that?
Future Trunks: Dad...you're exactly the way mom described you...I hope you won't die...get along with Mom!

Page 151
Kuririn: Oh...
Tenshinhan: I...I'm going to train...
Kuririn: Me too...
Vegita (thinking): Damn it...three years from now, I'm going to be alive! I swear it!
 

Episode 336: The Three Year Gamble

Page 152
Narration Box: Trunks gave the warning: three years from now, on May 12, two Cyborgs with amazing powers will appear...to change history, and defeat the mechanical monsters, the warriors decide to begin strict training...
Vegita: Tell me, Kakarrotto...how did you get out of Namek alive?
Yamcha: Yeah, wasn't Freeza's ship completely busted? Even Kaio-Sama said there was no means of escape...
Goku: Um, I thought I was dead for sure, too. But luckily, there were four or five small ships nearby...

Page 153
Vegita: Of course! The ships that the Ginyuu Tokusentai used!
Goku: Anyway, I got out using one of those ships...later, I landed on Yadrat...
Vegita: Giyuu had wanted to attack Yadrat next, so he set the ship's coordinates there...so these strange clothes of yours are from Yadrat...
Goku: Yeah, those Yadratians were really nice to me. Even though these clothes are weird, mine were all torn, so...
Vegita: Let me guess--you stayed on Yadrat and didn't come back because you wanted to learn their techniques, right?
Goku: Absolutely correct! (You know me...^^;)
Kuririn: So that's why you didn't return to Earth!
Bulma: What did you learn? Tell me!

Page 154
Goku: Because there wasn't enough time, they only taught me one technique...but it took me a lot of effort to master it. It's something called "Shukdan Idou."
All: SHUKDAN IDOU?!?
Tenshinhan: Really? Show us!
Goku: Okay.
Goku: You see, it's not to a place, but to a person you know...all you have to do is feel their ki, and you will instantly go to where they are...
Goku: Uh...where should I go...? Hmm...

Page 155
(Goku disappears)
Kuririn and Gohan: Oh!
(Goku returns)
Goku: I'm back.
Vegita: Hmph. Stupid "Shukdan Idou"...you're only fooling us by moving fast...
Goku: What's this, then?
(Goku puts on some glasses)
Kuririn: Uh...those are Mutenroshi's sunglasses...
Bulma: That's right!
Yamcha: This place is over 10,000 km from Kame House...wow...
Goku: Now do you believe me?

Page 156
Goku: Kuririn, please return these for me...
Kuririn: Okay.
Bulma: Now you have it all...
Tenshinhan: All right...everyone gather on location. Where and when would this happen?
Goku: Uh...n...now that you mention it...I forgot...
Piccolo: Three years later, May 12th, 10:00 a.m., on an island 9 km southwest of the Southern Capitol. It suffices to meet an hour earlier, at 9.
Goku: It's a good thing you remembered!
Tenshinhan: Thanks, Piccolo...
Piccolo: I'm going to say this beforehand: those without confidence don't need to come! This time, the enemy is very unusual...it you can't fight you'll just get in the way.
Yamcha: That's true...
Kuririn: Heh...

Page 157
Vegita: What are you laughing about? Aren't you the one with the least confidence?
Piccolo: What did you say? Do you want to try me?
Goku: Okay, okay...
Bulma: Guys, I have a great idea! Why don't we get rid of the inventors of the Cyborgs, Dr. Gero, now? All we have to do is ask Shen Long for his whereabouts, and that's it! It'll save three years of hard work!
Kuririn: Yeah! You're pretty smart! That way, we can solve things without fighting!
Vegita: IF ANYONE TRIES TO DO THAT, I'LL KILL HIM! YOU HEAR THAT!?!

Page 158
Bulma: Why not?!? This isn't a game! This is the fate of the Earth we're talking about!
Bulma: Don't you think so?
Goku: Sorry....to tell you the truth, I want to fight...and besides, that scientist hasn't done anything wrong yet, so to kill him now would be mean...
Bulma: Guys! We don't have to listen to these Saiyajins! All they want to do is fight! Remember, if you die this time, you won't be able to be wished back to life!
Tenshinhan: I want to fight, too...as a test of strength...even if I die, it will be without regrets...
Bulma: I...can't stand you guys...
Kuririn: Bulma...I was thinking...all of us here were once enemies...I hated Goku myself, at first...but because of a common enemy, we had to team up together, and slowly became friends...

Page 159
Kuririn: Usually, this wouldn't happen, but the enemy is too strong...
Bulma: So what's your point?
Kuririn: Without a common enemy, Piccolo's okay, but we don't know what Vegita would do...maybe we'll all go to hell sooner...
Gohan: Kuririn, the first half of your speech was very good...why did you get so quiet all of a sudden?
Kuririn: Shut up! I'm not wrong! It's the truth!
Bulma: All right, do what you want. I, like the rest of the civilians, just have to let you move us around like pawns...
Goku: Let's fight for a peaceful future!
All (except Bulma and Vegita): YEAH--!
Bulma: He's just like a dictator: even though he's wrong, I have no choice but to go along with him...
Goku: Then, three years from now, on May 12, at 9:00, we'll meet at that place! Really, only those with confidence should come!

Page 160
Vegita: Kakarrotto...
Vegita: Don't let being a Super Saiyajin get to your head...some day, I will defeat you...and don't forget that I am the strongest of the Saiyajins!
Goku: Oh...
Tenshinhan: We'll be there in three years...
Chaozu: Bye...

Page 61
Goku: Piccolo, do you want to train with me and Gohan? We could work together...
Piccolo: All right...that was what I was planning in the first place...
Goku: Kuririn, Yamcha...what about you two?
Yamcha: Eh?
Kuririn: Not me...I'm going to train with Mutenroshi in at my own pace...
Yamcha: I'm not coming with you either...to tell you the truth, I could never keep up with you...
Goku: Bye, then! Bulma, have a healthy baby!
Bulma: Eh?
Kuririn: Baby? Bulma, are you pregnant?
Bulma: No! I don't know what the hell Son-kun meant by that...
Yamcha: He means that we should get married, and start a happy family...ha ha ha! Never thought he would say that, too!

Page 162
Narration Box: And so, in preparation for the enemy which will arrive in three years, the warriors begin to train separately...
Kamesennin: Kuririn! You're a ghost! A little while ago, Goku's ghost came by and took my glasses...eh? What are you doing with them?
Dr. Briefs: What? You want me to build a 300 g gravity room?
Vegita: Yes.
Vegita: Kakarrotto once trained under 100 g...I want to triple that...
Dr. Briefs: Impossible...if you weighed 60 kg, under 300 g you would weigh 180 tons!

Page 163
Chi-Chi: Goku! Stop fooling around! Who are you trying to kid! Why are you always interfering with Gohan's studies! What do you mean, he'll be stronger after training?!? Why don't you go by yourself?!?
Goku: We need Gohan's strength...sure, studying is good, but in three years the Earth might disappear...
Chi-Chi: Oh, please! Since when did you care about Gohan? Since we've married, you haven't earned a cent!
Goku: I know, but...the situation is really bad, and Gohan wants to fight...
Chi-Chi: I said 'no' and that means 'NO'!
Goku: You think that Gohan's studies are more important than the fate of the Earth?
Chi-Chi: Of course! Why do you even ask? Gohan's studies are important above all else!
Goku: Oh, stop kidding around...

Page 164
Chi-Chi: Ouch...
Goku: Ah! I'm sorry! It was an accident!
Goku: I'm really sorry...
Chi-Chi: All right! It's always the woman that has to give in! But...after three years Gohan will not be fighting anymore!
Piccolo: Even Super Saiyajin have weaknesses...
Vegita: *pant* *pant* *pant*

Page 165
Vegita: I'm going to beat...that Super Saiyajin!
Narration Box: Three years later, May 12, that fateful day, finally dawned...
Chi-Chi: Gohan, Goku, Piccolo, be careful...you sure you don't want to bring some lunch?
Gohan: No, thanks.
Goku: We're leaving...
Narration Box: Just how strong are Nos. 19 and 20...?
 

Episode 337: The Super Warriors Gather

Page 167
Goku: Gohan, you don't need to fly so fast. We can make it in time at this rate. Save your energy.
Gohan: Oh...
Piccolo: So...can we beat the enemy?
Goku: I haven't seen them yet; how should I know? I'll answer you after we've fought!

Page 170
Piccolo: Well, aren't you cheerful about it...I'm not losing confidence or anything, but for some reason I have a very bad feeling about this...
Goku: Piccolo, promise me that you won't push yourself, even if we lose! If you die, the Dragon Balls will be gone, too!
Gohan: Hey, Dad! There's Kuririn!
Goku: Hi!
Gohan: Kuririn!
Kuririn: Gohan, you've grown...
Goku: Kuririn, long time no see! What's with the long face?
Kuririn: Now we're going to fight some monsters to the end...and I'm not a Super Saiyajin...

Page 171
Kuririn: 9 km southwest of the Southern Capitol...it's that island right there!
Goku: Big island.
Kuririn: This is bad...there might be a big city down there...

Page 172
Gohan: If we don't get the Cyborgs to where there's no one around, we'll hurt innocent people...
Goku: Yeah...
Kuririn: There's two big ki's on that mountain over there...I think it's Yamcha-tachi**...
Goku: Let's go.
Yamcha: It is Goku-tachi**...

Page 173
Kuririn: Eh?
Yamcha: Yo!
(Goku and Kuririn land)
Goku: Bulma?
Yamcha: We've been waiting for you for a while now; you're late.
Bulma: Hi! Gohan, you've grown!

Page 174
Goku: You idiot! What are you doing here?
Bulma: To see the Cyborgs, of course! Don't worry, once I get a good look at them, I'll leave.
Kuririn: Never mind that...I'm very surprised that you're holding a baby!
Gohan: You and Yamcha got married?
Yamcha: That's not my child...we've split up...(if you know who's child that is, you'll be really shocked...)
Goku: Trunks, you're Vegita's son, aren't you?
Bulma: How did you know? We didn't tell anyone; we wanted to keep it a surprise!
Goku: No, I just had that feeling...he[Trunks] looks a lot like Vegita, doesn't he?
Bulma: You even got the name right...
Goku: Really? I must be psychic!
Kuririn: That's Vegita's kid?!?

Page 175
Piccolo: We're not here to chat. Where's Vegita? Why hasn't he showed up yet?
Bulma: I don't know...right now, we're not living together...but I know he'll come: he's trained very hard for this day...
Goku: Yes...he'll definitely come...
Tenshinhan: I didn't let Chaozu come. To be honest, he isn't strong enough...
Goku: Um...it's better to leave him behind, then...
Gohan: What time is it now?
Bulma: 9:30. They'll show up in half an hour.
Goku: Leave now, so the child doesn't get hurt.
Bulma: I told you: I'll leave once I see the Cyborgs.

Page 176
Yamcha (referring to Trunks): What a blow to my pride...
Kuririn: Where's this child's tail? Did you remove it?
Gohan: Ha ha...
Piccolo: Someone's coming this way. Someone not evil...
Gohan: Eh? Is it Vegita?
Kuririn: He's most definitely evil...

Page 177
Yajirobe: Over there! Over there!
Goku: Ah! Yajirobe!
Yajirobe: Thank goodness I made it.
(Yajirobe jumps out of the hovercraft)
Goku: Yajirobe, you here to fight, too?
Yajirobe: Uh...
Goku: Senzu beans from Karin-Sama? Wow! That's great! That's Karin-Sama for you, all right!
Yajirobe: Bye! Good luck!
Goku: Eh? You're not joining the battle?

Page 178
Yajirobe: I'm not as stupid as you are; I don't want to die. I'm not going to play along !
Gohan: ..............
Tenshinhan: That's strange...it's past 10:00 and I still can't feel the enemy's ki...
Goku: Eh?
Gohan: That's right...
Yamcha: Maybe that guy was playing a practical joke. There are no such things as Cyborgs...
Bulma: But he said 'around ten', and it's only 10:17...you don't know whether or not he's right!
Yamcha: But we haven't felt any strong ki yet...if there was an enemy, we would know...

Page 179
Piccolo: !!
Kuririn, Goku, Tenshinhan, Gohan: WHAT?!?
Someone: Oh! Yajirobe!
Piccolo: Everyone be careful! Someone is attacking!

Page 180
Goku, Gohan, and Kuririn: !!
Yamcha: It landed in the city!
Bulma: Did you see them?
Goku: No...I don't even know what they're like...
Goku: But what's going on? I can't feel their ki's...
Gohan: They're robots...they have no ki...
Yamcha: What the...
