Special
Break through the shining clouds, and fly away (fly away)
As a panorama spreads itself throughout my being!
The earth, having been kicked in the face, gets angry (angry)!
And makes one of its volcanoes explode!
If, within the thawed polar ice,
There is a dinosaur, then I want to train him to balance atop a ball.
CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA
No matter what may happen, I feel as though nothing can bother me,
CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA
However hard your chest pounds, the Genki Dama will roar!
CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA
The emptier your head is, the more room there is to pack with dreams,
CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA
With a cheerful face and an Ultra-Z, today is ai-yai-yai-yai-yai...
Sparking!
"Planet Vegeta"
On Planet Vegeta, a baby boy lets out his first cry.
Kakarrot? So this is Bardock's son, then?
Yeah. He sure is the kid of a lower class warrior.
He's barely got any potential ability at all.
I guess all we can do with him is send him off to one of the frontier planets.
I suppose so.
"A Final, Solitary Battle: The Z Warrior Kakarrot's Father Challenges Freeza"
"Planet Kanassa"
That bastard.
That's what you get for dropping your guard.
So Bardock, don't you think you went over the top...
...there, even celebrating your son's birth and all?
Celebrating my son's birth?
What a ridiculous farce!
We're finished on this planet.
Why don't you head back to Planet Vegeta and meet him?
To see the lowest-class warrior without any promise at all?
What kind of fool would make that trip?
And who asked you what I should be doing anyhow?
I see.
We ought to be grateful to Freeza-sama.
He's been putting us to work for him quite often.
So what does Freeza-sama want with a crummy little planet like this?
You know what I heard?
This Kanassa is supposed to have some kind...
...of energy that grants you psychic abilities.
I don't know whether he believes that rumor or not,
but apparently Freeza-sama has been thinking...
...of taking this world for a long time.
Wha-?
Rotten scum!
Looks like I dropped my guard too.
You lousy rat!
L-Listen to me!
I just struck you using a technique...
...giving you knowledge of the future through visions!
Knowledge of the future?
You will see the future fate of your own people.
W-What is this guy talking about?
I will warn you now, that you have no future save that which is cursed!
As it is with my own people, there will be nothing but destruction for yours!
I condemn you to see your own future, and agonize over the form it takes!
Enough!
That's pretty funny.
What do we invincible Saiyans have to watch and agonize over, I ask you?
Right, Bardo-
- Hey, Bardock! - Bardock!
- What's wrong? - What's the matter? - Shake it off!
- Hey, Bardock! - Bardock! - Hey!
He's avoiding every one of their attacks!
He's incredible!
U-Unbelievable!
He finished off those strength-enhanced Saibaimen in a matter of seconds!
What's so unbelievable?
Vegeta-sama wasn't even giving them his best!
What a fearsome kid!
I'm done!
Hurry and open the gate!
R-Roger!
Impressive, as always.
Cut out the ridiculous boot-licking!
As long as I stay on this world, I won't ever get stronger.
Maybe I should ask Freeza-sama about letting...
...me have another one of his worlds slated for conquering.
Again?
You'd rather I didn't?
Of course not!
Freeza-sama, we have just received word that Planet Kanassa has been conquered.
We have acquired it fully one month sooner than had been forecast.
Who was it we sent to take over Kanassa?
Some nameless lower-class Saiyan warriors.
Saiyans?
These latest guys have been working pretty hard, don't you think?
There's certainly something remarkable about them.
Particularly when it comes to Vegeta, their prince,
with whom Freeza-sama has taken such an interest.
I can't hardly believe a kid like that has such a battle power.
It's more than just him.
Individually, there's nothing special about them,
but when they team up, they demonstrate incredible power.
What are you afraid of?
Nothing. I just think that,
if we leave the Saiyans alone like this,
it will mean a lot of trouble for us later on.
You never know when another guy like Vegeta may appear.
Let's suppose they were to team up against us.
You think they might become unpleasant, then?
Aye.
What do you think you're doing?
Why are you here?
This isn't the sort of place where you belong!
I've just come to pay my respects to Freeza-sama as I depart.
There's no need for that.
Just worry about clearing your assigned planet for now.
It is quite all right, Zarbon-san.
Freeza-sama?
Vegeta, please do a thorough job.
Thank you very much.
There is no need to thank me so.
Bardock is as surprising as ever.
It's only taken him several days to fully recover.
Yeah. He may be a low class warrior,
but every time he goes off to clear some land,
he always manages to nearly get killed before returning.
By now, his battle power should be pretty close to 10,000.
He's quite a guy.
How is he?
Physically there's nothing wrong.
He's in perfect shape.
However, the computer is picking up a fluctuation in his brain waves.
I see.
Oh well, this time we'll have to leave Bardock behind.
Yeah.
Which planet are you off to this time?
Planet Meat.
Is he regaining consciousness?
I just struck you using a technique...
...giving you knowledge of the future through visions!
You will see the future fate of your own people.
I will warn you now, that you have no future save that which is cursed!
As it is with my own people, there will be nothing but destruction for yours!
I condemn you to see your own future, and agonize over the form it takes!
Are you all right, Bardock?
Yeah.
I'm still a bit dizzy in the head, though.
I was having these strange dreams.
Dreams?
Yeah.
I wonder what they were all about.
Are you sure you're okay?
I'm made of tougher stuff than you guys are, much tougher.
Never mind me, what happened to Toma and the others?
They were ordered by Freeza-sama to the planet Meat.
What!? Dammit, how could they leave me out?
Planet Meat, eh? All right, that's pretty close.
Hey, Bardock!
I condemn you to see your own future, and agonize over the form it takes!
Kakar... rot?
A battle power of just 2?
What scum!
Damn...
W-Why?
Why are you guys-
You Saiyans, you're as tough as I expected.
However...
You'll have to let us toy with you a little more.
Why!? Why are you doing this?
Is that bothering you?
All right, you can take this to Hell with you.
This, you see,
was ordered by Freeza-sama!
W-What!?
Freeza-sama denounced you Saiyans as troublesome!
You sure you didn't do anything to upset him?
I-It's untrue!
We've always acted exactly as ordered by Freeza-sama!
Never once have we...
Nevertheless, if you fall out of favor, this is what happens!
This? After all the hard work we've done?
That's...
right!
Looks like they got carried away again.
Those guys...
Mm? There they are!
All caught up in the moment rioting around, no doubt.
What the...
B-Bardock?
Toma!
What's going on here? What happened?
What a fool I've been.
We should have stayed home tucked in our beds like good children.
Never mind that, don't tell me the Meatians got the best of you?
No. We eliminated them quickly.
Then who did this to you?
F-Freeza! He's stabbed us all in the back!
That can't be possible!
That rotten Freeza's just been using us.
I-I've already had it, but before long...
...all Saiyans are going to be killed by that rat Freeza.
Listen to me, listen well-go back to Planet Vegeta right now!
Once there, gather our comrades and defeat Freeza!
Let him know... how strong the Saiyans... really... are...
You guys!
Now comes your turn to die!
You lowlife! Where did you go!?
Damn him!
You fool!
T-This can't be! He's supposed to be a lowest-class warrior!
Regardless of his level, he's still a Saiyan! Stay on your toes!
Let's go!
Kaio-ken!
What's the matter, Kakarrot!?
I know you're better than this!
Not again! Damn, what's going on in my head!?
No, wai-
Why!?
D-D-Dodoria!
W-Why!?
Why are you doing this to us!?
That was all too brief.
I wish he'd have entertained me a bit longer.
Come in, Dodoria.
You are ordered to return.
Rendezvous with us immediately.
We're headed for Planet Vegeta.
Understood.
Dammit.
Freeza-sama really is after us.
Launch this one off, if you would.
Target directional coordinates FX-50.
Name: Kakarrot.
Bardock's son, hmm?
Rank: Lowest-class warrior.
Planet of destination:
I have returned.
Dodoria, you bungled it.
What's that!?
You allowed one of the Saiyans on Planet Meat to escape.
Impossible! I made certain...
Then what have we here?
It's him!
He survived that!?
T-This is inexcusable of me!
I-I will deal with him immediately!
Oh, it is all right.
This Saiyan also seems to be headed toward Planet Vegeta anyhow.
Then he will meet the same fate either way, won't he?
T-That's Freeza-sama's spaceship.
H-He couldn't be headed for Planet Vegeta, could he?
I can't believe it!
It has been some time since we have seen the best show in the universe.
I hope the fireworks are pretty.
Kakarrot!
What's the matter, Bardock!?
What a shame, you just missed your kid's launch!
As I remember, he's going to some frontier planet called "Earth."
Did you say "Earth?"
Yeah, it's a blue planet, part of a star system.
He may be a low-class warrior,
but give him a few months, and he's sure to wipe out the planet.
Once you've recovered from those injuries, you ought to go meet up with him.
So what happened to you?
How did a guy like you get beat up so badly?
- I thought you went to Planet Meat, didn't you? - That's...
That's Earth! There's no mistake.
All those dreams I've had... they're really the future!
Which means...
I-It can't be!
W-What's the matter, Bardock!?
Hey, look at this!
H-He's far from being all right, wouldn't you say!?
That's really the future!
Everything... happens... for real!
I just struck you using a technique...
...giving you knowledge of the future through visions!
You will see the future fate of your own people.
I will warn you now, that you have no future save that which is cursed!
As it is with my own people, there will be nothing but destruction for yours!
I condemn you to see your own future, and agonize over the form it takes!
I won't let him do it. I'll stop him myself!
Freeza!
What's this?
Ain't that Bardock?
What's the matter?
Everyone, come with me! We're going to kill Freeza!
What?
What are you saying!?
Believe me.
Toma, and the others, they were all killed!
Freeza is about to eliminate us... about to eliminate Planet Vegeta!
He says the planet is going to be destroyed!
A-Are you all right?
Get a grip on yourself, Bardock!
Freeza-sama would never do something like that!
Are you sure you didn't just have a bad dream?
You... worthless... fools!
You miserable jackasses!
I'm not asking any more!
All of you can go to hell!
Hey, Bardock!
Let him go, he's flipped his lid.
Kakarrot!
I... I will...
...change that future!
This will be the last time we gaze upon this planet, will it not?
Aye.
Freeza-sama!
Zarbon-san.
Sir.
Open the upper hatch.
But, our men out there...
As you command!
Freeza!!
Freeza! Get out here!
I won't let you get away with this!
Freeza-sama!
F-Freeza-sama!
Now, everything changes!
The fate of Planet Vegeta...
...my own fate...
...Kakarrot's fate...
...as well as your fate!
This is where it ends!
W-What!?
Freeza-sama!
Ka... kar... ro... t...
Kakarrot!
What's this!?
How wonderful!
Look at it, Zarbon-san, Dodoria-san! Behold such beautiful fireworks!
Kakarrot, carry out my will!
You will avenge the Saiyans, and our Planet Vegeta!
Vegeta-sama! Do you read me?
What is it?
We've just received a transmission from Freeza-sama.
It seems as though Planet Vegeta has been destroyed!
And?
Apparently a giant meteor collided with the planet.
Counting us, there are very few surviving Saiyans.
And?
Er, nothing else in particular. That was all.
This planet is all but exterminated.
I'll have to request Freeza-sama to give us worlds that will put up more of a fight.
Well, what a surprise!
A baby! Where did you come from?
A baby with a tail?
We can't just leave you here, can we?
How would you like to come stay with me?
Oww!
Oh, such a spirited young boy!
Okay, from now on, you'll be the grandson of me, Son Gohan, okay?
And your name will be... let's see...
Goku! Son Goku!
Goku, you're going to grow up strong!
Whee!
Whee whee whee!
Whee!
And thus the curtain rises for the grand story that is Dragonball.
There is one ocean in the galaxy,
where light is born,
And continues on its distant journey,
until now it arrives to shine above me.
The light that shines in the darkness,
Twinkles like the wink of a dream.
Please let me hear the hopes and memories
Which have come to us from so long ago.
The unchanging dreams and everlasting love,
Which shined even before we were born.
Within me.
