"The Identity of the Masked Man"
...He's... ...... Goku's...
...grandfather?!
D-don't be stupid! He d*ed a long time ago!
Son Gohan did indeed die!
But look... there's an angel halo floating above his head.
Then why...?!
As I said, this is a battle of destiny!
Goku-san...
Hang in there, Goku!
If you lose now,
it will have been a waste for him to come all the way here.
These latest weapons are all we need to deal with that brat once and for all!
I found the Dragon Balls!
They have the Dragon Balls, I see!
That monster kid is getting slaughtered!
Well? You can't do a thing when I grab your tail, your one weakness!
Did you hear that? That's his weakness!
Yeah! We have to tell Pilaf-sama!
I see! So his tail is his weak spot!
I've done it! I've found that brat's weakness!
His tail is his weakness!
This is excellent news, Pilaf-sama.
I was worried what might happen
if that monster boy was collecting the Dragon Balls again...!
The gods haven't abandoned me after all!
They're telling me to become ruler of the world!
Thanks!
Anyway, the Dragon Ball inside this special case I designed
won't show up on their radar at all!
In other words, that brat can't get the th Dragon Ball!
But with our Dragon Radar spy satellite,
his Dragon Balls are ripe for the taking!
But Pilaf-sama!
Isn't he fighting Fortuneteller Baba and the others
so that she'll locate the Dragon Ball inside the special case for him?!
And if he wins...!
Fools! She's obviously a phony!
And even if her fortunetelling does work,
we still know what the brat's weakness is!
And that's not all! We also have our latest weapons!
It's clear who's going to win this battle!
Oh, that's right!
With these demonic machines that my genius brain has created,
everyone who gets in my way will be obliterated!
OK! Let's go and steal his Dragon Balls!
Yes, sire!
That boy's six Dragon Balls are as good as mine!
I'm not scared of him anymore!
My lifelong dream will come true this time! Let's go!
Yes, sire!
Well? Do you give up yet?
I suggest you just give up...
N-never...!
What an obstinate boy!
Don't you think he's being a little too violent?!
I can't believe an old man would do something like this...!
Goku-san...
Come on! Do something!
Even if this is destined, if it keeps up, Son-kun might die!
Make him stop! Stop the match right now!
The only way to make him stop is if Goku concedes defeat!
But Goku hasn't even hinted that he wants to give up...!
So none of you care that Goku is going to die?!
We care, but...!
W-what's... wrong...?
You've made some wonderful friends, I see...
They're all worrying about you very much...
What's going on? The match isn't over yet, you know!
Oh, right.
It makes no difference how much your friends worry for you;
this fight has nothing to do with them!
I know! Why don't we just throw a towel?!
In certain kinds of fights,
there's a rule where you can throw a towel into the ring
and it means your fighter loses!
Isn't that boxing you're talking about?!
Yeah, that's it!
Then maybe if we throw a towel from here...
No!
This is not a boxing match! My sister would never allow such a rule!
Yeah, but we can't just stand here and watch anymore of this!
Do you think Goku would be happy if we caused him to lose?!
But it's better than dying!
Yeah! He's already fought really hard!
No, Goku would have regrets if we did that!
Plus I think he would want to fight to the end
if he knew his opponent was Son Gohan!
But...!
Why does he have to fight to that extent?!
Ow!
Oh no! His tail came off!
Oh, my! Now Goku's weakness is gone!
Then that means...!
Goku-san!
G- Goku!
Ouch!
Ow!
How dare you tear my tail off...!
Goku-san!
Alright!
...This is great! ...Now he can win!
Now I'm mad!
I concede!
W-what was that? Did you just say you can see?
It's that happy smell again!
I said I concede defeat. I lose.
D-did he win...?
I guess there was no avoiding it.
Goku. You've become so strong!
You've done well to train this far.
H-how do you know my name...?
But it seems you neglected to toughen up your weak tail, Goku.
I warned you about that many a time!
You couldn't be...!
How deplorable that you only realize now.
That's right. It is I.
G- Grandpa...!
Grandpa!
Goku!
Grandpa! Grandpa!
I missed you so much, Grandpa!
Grandpa...!
Don't be foolish, you're not supposed to cry!
Oh, wow! Son-kun's crying!
You can't blame him.
As strong as he is, he's still just a kid.
Goku-san looks so happy!
How is your rear, Goku? Does it still hurt?
No...
I'm sorry for doing that.
I wished to admonish you for not having conquered your weakness,
but I inadvertently put a little too much strength into it.
I'm fine!
I see. But you certainly have become strong.
To think that I would be no match for you...!
Did Muten Roshi-sama teach you?
Yeah!
It's a pleasure to see you again, Roshi-sama!
Yes, this brings back memories!
I had no idea it was you for a short while there.
Please forgive me.
I thought that Goku might hold back and not fight with his full strength
if he realized that it was I who he was fighting.
Yes, I understand your desire
to see just how far Goku has actually developed.
...Um...! ...What is it?
We heard that Son-kun's grandfather was dead, but...
Grandpa, you came back to life!
No, I have not come back to life.
Then how can you be here? Don't tell me you're a ghost...?!
Though it looks like you do have legs...
I will field that question.
I have the ability to go freely from this world to the next one and back.
I scout for dead martial arts masters in the next world
so I can have them fight for me here.
And for a lot of money, I might add!
That's the gist of it.
Does that mean you can live with me again?!
Unfortunately not. I am only able to return to this world for a single day.
Then is it just coincidence that they met today?
No, my sister probably foresaw us coming here today.
Exactly.
Gohan asked me to inform him should a boy with a tail ever show up.
I had no idea it was his grandson, though...
I don't really understand what you just said,
but you're really amazing, old lady!
Of course I am!
I don't know how he came to be in your acquaintance,
but it's entirely thanks to you that he has grown this strong, Roshi-sama!
Thank you ever so much!
No, I merely taught him the basics.
l, too, am surprised at how far he has developed!
Thank you! Now I can return to the next world with peace of mind!
By the way, does Goku ever turn into a giant ape?
Don't worry. It's been peaceful ever since I blew up the moon.
What're you talking about?!
No, nothing at all!
Oh yeah! I have something good to show you, Grandpa!
Something good?
Here it is!
See, I have the memento you left me!
If it isn't the ball I found a long time ago...!
Huh? Why are there a number of other balls just like it?!
Goku's life changed thanks to those balls!
His life changed...?
That's right!
They're called Dragon Balls,
and it was thanks to your ball that Son-kun and I met!

...and there you have it.
I see! I hadn't the slightest idea!
Goku! You've experienced many great things!
This is great! Now your old man will come back to life for sure!
B-but...
What's wrong? Aren't you happy?
Goku-san's grandfather is dead too,
but we're only bringing my father back to life...
Don't you worry about me.
I've taken quite a liking to the afterlife!
Plus, there are plenty of Pichi-pichi girls there too!
R-really?!
Aha! You still haven't changed your ways!
It's only natural that Muten Roshi-sama's best student loves girls too!
We don't need your smart-aleck remarks!
But I didn't know there were Pichi-pichi girls in the afterlife!
Maybe I shouldn't have drunk that eternal life elixir after all...
T-thank you!
No, I'm perfectly content seeing as how Goku is helping other people.
Now then, seeing as you won, I will find your object for you, as promised.
Well, my time has come, so I shall return to the next world now.
You're leaving already, Grandpa?!
Now that I've seen how much you've grown
and how many great friends you've made, I needn't worry anymore.
Roshi-sama. Friends.
Please continue to take care of this mischievous little boy.
Baba-sama. Thank you very much.
Die in good health again!
I look forward to seeing you in the next world a long time from now,
when you're all grown up!
Yeah!
Well then, someday I'll meet you all again in the afterlife too.
Yeah, in the afterlife...
You take care as well. Or does that also sound odd?
Grandpa!
Grandpa! I'm glad we got to meet!
Well then, take care, everyone!
Goodbye!
Grandpa!
Next time my tail grows I'm gonna toughen it up and get even stronger!
What will happen to my position if he becomes even stronger?
Here, I'll find it for you now!
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are...!
Where is the seventh Dragon Ball?!
Let me see...
Oh, it's moving...
Moving?!
Can you see it? The Dragon Ball you seek is inside this car.
That's strange. It should show up on the radar if it's just inside a car...
Where is this car, old lady?!
Approximately kilometers in that direction, coming this way...
That's close!
Oopa! I'll bring your dad back to life real soon!
Great!
The location of the th Dragon Ball has finally been made clear.
But Goku is unaware that his competition consists of Pilaf and his cohorts
who are equipped with their newest weapons!
