Dragon Ball Z ep 4 Piccolos Trump Card! Gohan the Crybaby kun
Son Goku and Piccolo Daimao are the two strongest fighters the planet Earth has ever seen. Their battles from five and seven years ago rocked the world with the force of their power. Now they both gaze at Gokus older brother - the Saiyan warrior, Raditz - utterly without hope of victory. Even if they manage to defeat him, a far stronger warrior than either of them, his allies - two other Saiyan warriors - are even more powerful than he is.
"You must be pretty excited, huh, Son Goku?"
"Sorry, but this time, I aint all that excited. Im so scared, Im trembling."
Raditz taunts our desperate hero. But Goku doesnt care, bellowing for his son. Raditz explains he hasnt hidden Gohan at all - merely locked him away in his space pod because he wouldnt stop crying.
"Gohan..."
"Save me dad!"
"Hold on, Gohan! Daddys coming to rescue you right away!"
Raditz bursts into laughter, reminding Goku he wont be saving anyone - not if he and Piccolo die first. Furiously, Goku lands beside Piccolo, and the two lock in on their foe.
"Whered you go?!"
"Im right here."
Their assault is a marked failure. Not only could they not keep up with his superior speed, but Piccolo lost an arm thanks to Raditzs ki attacks. Piccolo asks Goku if hes got any new techniques up his sleeve, to which Goku declines. Piccolo smirks, commenting on how hes been training seriously while Gokus been taking it easy. He has a new attack, one that could kill this guy... which he had been saving to kill Goku.
"I was saving this in order to kill you."
"And instead, you might just end up saving me with it, eh?"
In order to charge the ki needed for his new ability, the Makankosappo, Piccolo will need some uninterrupted time for concentration. For that to happen, its up to Goku to distract Raditz one-on-one...
Unable to keep up with Raditz in melee, Goku recovers from being swatted away by leaping into the air... and focusing his ki into his palms!!
"Ka... me... ha... me..."
As both Goku and Piccolos battle powers rise exponentially, Raditz realizes they these two fighters have the rare ability to change their battle power at will!!
"HAAAAAAA!!!"
Gokus Kamehameha launches at Raditz, who makes every attempt to dodge it, but Goku manipulates it into following him! With no other option, Raditz takes the blast head on!
Raditz gives Goku a ki blast of his own in retaliation.
But before Raditz can throw the final blow...
...Piccolos Makankosappo is complete!!
And ability so powerful that Raditz fears for his life as it jets toward him.
A flash of light, and the shattering of armor later...
Raditz is still alive.
Raditz admits that, had he taken Piccolos attack head on, he would be dead. But his extraordinary speed enabled him to dodge it at the last moment. Not willing to let history repeat itself, Raditz prepares an attack to obliterate Piccolo in an instant. Piccolo braces himself... and then Raditz freezes in place, stunned.
"You got careless, didnt ya?!" Goku laughs.
Squeezing Raditzs tail, the mighty Saiyan loses all of his strength, as Goku knew he would from personal experience. Raditzs power utterly drained, he falls to the ground, and Goku shouts for Piccolo to do his technique one more time. Piccolo smiles, saying hes only got one more Makankosappo in him, so Goku better keep a firm grip!
"K-Kakarotto! Are you planning to kill your one and only brother?!"
"Shut up! I told you, any guy as cruel as you are aint any brother of mine! As someone who was gonna kill my son, you dont get to go saying that self-serving junk!" Goku spits.
"I-Ill stop! Ive had a change of heart!" Raditz begs. "Ill leave this planet without making any more trouble!"
"Dont be fooled, Son Goku! Theres no truth in what hes saying! Theres no way he would do that!" Shouts Piccolo.
"P-please! Believe me, my younger brother! Truly, I have done some cruel things up to now! To you, as well... But to you Ill keep my promise, no matter what!!"
"Y-you really mean it?"
"I-I really do!"
"N-no!! Dont let go of his tail! Thats his tactic!"
"Im begging you, Kakarotto! B-believe me!"
Having weaseled his way out of certain death, Raditz retakes the offensive against Goku. He stomps Gokus rib-cage into pieces, ensuring that this fight will remain his. He taunts and mocks Goku for his sentimental weakness. Piccolo is without hope. Even if he fires another Makankosappo, Raditz will simply dodge it again. They are truly out of options.
But then Raditzs Scouter gives him a warning. An incredibly high battle power is nearby!! And as the small form of Son Gohan bursts through Raditzs space pod, he knows it isnt a glitch!
