Multi-colored dreams
rain down DOSSARI,

Somewhere in this world,
they are glowing.

Let's go on out there
and find them, BOY,

All the while pounding on
mutants and monsters,

And we'll fly through the day
on our cloud machine as well!

Let's fly, fly, fly, how mysterious,

Charging through the sky,
while we overcome mountains!

Let's try, try, try,
such an adventure,

Our strange little
journey now begins!

Let's get them in hand!
The Dragonballs!

One of the most formidable
gambles in the world.

Let's go chase them down!
The Dragonballs!

Some of the most enjoyable
drama in the world.

This life is one
big treasure island,

It's the truth! Now more
than ever, Adventure!



After seizing control of King Castle,
Piccolo Daimao finally became king.

Meanwhile, Tenshinhan, burning
with desire to defeat Piccolo,

mastered the Mafuba by himself.



I did it... !

It's flawless!

I'm coming for you, Piccolo!



Also, Goku drank the Super Sacred Water

and unlocked unknown strength
after undergoing intense pain.



Power... I'm overflowing with power...

However, at exactly the same time,

Piccolo Daimao announced his
horrific new policies on television.



Criminals! Do whatever you want to do!

We Mazoku will eliminate all who
cling to the idea of "justice"!



What followed was widespread
robbery, m*rder, and v*olence...

The world was on its way to
becoming a living hell.



"Tenshinhan's Resolve!! "



Hey, another special
news report is coming on!

Now then, my beloved citizens!

I have even more evil,
horrific news for you all!

He just doesn't quit!

Very soon you will all experience
an even greater fear of dying!

Fear of dying... ?

Pay close attention!



What do I mean by "an even
greater fear of dying", you ask?

Do you happen to know just how many
sectors the world is divided into?



That's right, sectors.

So I had a lottery box prepared with slips
of paper with through written on them.

Today, May th, should be celebrated as
the day I, Piccolo-sama, took the throne!

Therefore every May th will
be celebrated as Piccolo Day,

...and on that day a lottery will be held.

And then...



...the sector whose number is chosen...

...will personally be
erased by yours truly!

Why you... !

Don't worry, my expl*sive energy
blasts last for but only an instant.

There won't be time to feel any pain.

Why?! Why would you do such a thing?!

You don't know? I merely wish to see
the people with fear-ridden faces!

The people's suffering,
screams, and moans... !

There isn't anything as
satisfying as these!



Damn you!

He's a freak!



But don't worry, the lottery
will be held only once a year.

Which means some lucky people
will get to live for years...

...while fearing for their
lives the entire time, of course!



years?! I'd rather die
than constantly live in fear!

To those who have any problems
with my way of doing things...

Come to King Castle any time you want!

You can even fire your
missiles at me, I don't care!

Just know that all who oppose me
will find themselves in an early grave!



I'm scared, Dad!

You can b*at him up, can't you?

Of course not! It's hopeless!

Even I could never win
against Piccolo Daimao...

He's that strong?!

Strong isn't even the right word!

There's no one in this
world who could defeat him!

Goku...

Yeah! Goku might be
able to b*at him for us!

No, not even Goku would stand a chance!

He would too!

Goku can do it, I just know it!



Do you really think Goku can win?

I don't know.

But the only thing I can say is that if
Goku loses to Piccolo, the world's done for.

That's how things stand.

You can't be serious!

Damn it... !

In that case I should eat as much tasty
food as I can while I still got the chance!

You can have as many
Senzu beans as you want!

Who'd want any of that crap!
I'll have you know I'm a gourmet!

It ain't about just
filling stomachs, you know!

You don't say.

So yeah, give me one
of them Kinto Un thingies!

I'm gonna go back down and
look for some tasty stuff!

I already said you can't ride them!

You need to have a pure heart
if you want to ride on a Kinto Un!

For a wizard you sure aren't
a good judge of character!

To put it bluntly, my heart is
even purer than the blue sky itself!

Watch!



Oh my...

Judging from how he is,
I'm sure he won't die.



Father!



Oh, it's him!

Ow...

Hey!

What happened to Goku?!

He left to go fight Piccolo Daimao.

What an idiot...



Goku-san...



Goku...



Okay then!

Let's celebrate this day by
conducting the st Annual Lottery.

Damn you!

Soon you'll get a taste of my Mafuba!



So which sector will it be... ?



Oh, this is rather close by.



Sector ...

Metro West!

I'll be there soon!

You'd best run as far away as you can!

What did he say?! Metro West?!

That's where Mom and Dad are!

Metro West? That's great news, Honey!

I'm glad it wasn't where Bulma lives.

That's great news!

Oh, but you know, Honey...

Metro West, isn't that...



This is Kame House, respond, Tenshinhan!



Tenshinhan! Please!

Don't let Piccolo go to Metro West!

My mom and dad are there!



I'm taking him down! Without fail!



Ain't you heard what's goin' on yet?!



What're you doing?!

Can't you move that thing any faster?!

Hey! Piccolo Daimao's coming!
This is the end!



What are you doing, Dear?

We need to leave right away!

It'll be just a minute!

I can't find Tama!

Tama!



Tama?

Oh my...



Tama! Tama!



Oh, there you are!

Tama!



Let's leave together, okay?



So you found Tama by chance!
(Tamatama = "by chance")



What are you saying
at a time like this, Dear?



Oh no! I completely forgot!

I forgot to water the plants this morning!

Oh no! The poor little
plants will be so hungry!

Okay, we've got to hurry!

I'll need your help, Honey!

Sure thing.



Metro West is in unimaginable panic and
all traffic out of town is at a standstill.



Mom, Dad... I hope you're alright...


Who're you?!



Hand over yer food.

And yer money! All of it!

He asked who you are!

As you can see, we just got outta prison!

Escaped convicts?!

Escaped convicts?



Don't be stupid.

As per Piccolo Daimao's orders, all
prisons have been shut down for good!

Which means we're legally free!

The world's turned
into such a great place!



Now make with the money and the grub!



Shall I have this here
gal pour us some booze?



Keep your filthy hands off me!



Feisty...

That felt good!



Yamucha!



You're dead!



Take this!

Yamucha!



...Yamucha...
...Yamucha-sama...

It's hopeless! The world's gone mad!

Goku and everyone else is dead!

And there's no guarantee
Tenshinhan'll succeed...

No, I can't sit around here doing
nothing just because my leg's not healed!

I'm going too!



Wait for me, Piccolo!



Wait just a little bit more!



Piccolo-sama, the preparations
for your flight have been completed.

Excellent! Let's go to Metro West!

Time to enjoy the
little people's suffering!



There it is!

I made it to King Castle in time!



There you are, Piccolo!

What might this be?



Piccolo! Down there! Now!

You're in for a world of trouble!

Already a fool with no
value for life has shown up.

There are quite a few less-than-brainy
types like that out there.

Very well. I'll play with him,
but just for a little bit.

It will serve as an
excellent warning to others!

I'll broadcast his ragged
and torn body on television!

So that pathetic flies such
as this guy won't come after me!

I see.



Fly faster, Kinto Un!



What's the matter? Are you afraid, Piccolo?!

I have no reason to be afraid.



Come!

Today I'll make an
exception and play with you!

Aren't we a little overconfident?

I hope you have fun when the
tide suddenly turns against you!

This Denshi Jar will
look good in your castle.



Hurry up! Metro West is
waiting to be annihilated!



Oh, you're able to use
a levitation technique.

It would seem you've got a little
bit of training under your belt.

I need to get a little closer...

But because you
possess martial arts skills-

however meager they may be-
you will have to be eliminated.

You're getting ahead of yourself.

You haven't won yet.



People these days have no manners at all.

Is that how you speak to your king?

Don't make me laugh!

Who honestly recognizes you as their king?



Just a little more...

more meters until I can use the Mafuba!



It seems you excel in talking big.

Okay, then. Let me introduce
you to my new underling!

After all, there's really no need
for me to deal with you personally.

What?



What is this?!



What the... ?!



Your name will be Drum.

Show him the strength of Mazoku soldiers!



Monster...

I'll be the one to show you real strength!



He's close!

I'm coming for you, Piccolo!

Will Tenshinhan be able
to defeat Piccolo Daimao?!

Hurry, Goku!



Come along, fantasy,

I enjoy a mystery,

Don't you go hiding your youth!

Wanting to perform the mysterious,

Wanting to pursue the adventure,

Everyone is itching to go!

If you act like an adult and give up,

You'll never unravel the
mystery of the miracle!

Go on and try to live even
more wild and strong!

I'll give you a romance,
I'll give you a romance,

If you will show me
you're true courage.

I'll give you a romance,
I'll give you a romance,

I'll give your pounding heart
a glittery, shining dream!
