"The Artificial Humans Head to the City..." is the three hundred and thirty-eighth chapter of the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. It was first published in Japan in the 1991 #38 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.

Summary

Piccolo says if they cannot feel their ki, they will have to search for the artificial humans with their eyes. Goku agrees that they should all go search, but warns them not to get too close and to let everyone know if they find them. So they fly down into the city. Goku lands on top of a building, and wishes Trunks had shown him a photograph of them or something. Kuririn is on the sidewalk wondering who they are, while some nearby guy freaks out that Kuririn was flying. Kuririn asks the guy if he has seen anyone suspicious, and the dude says, "Yeah! You..." Piccolo and Tenshinhan have also landed, while Gohan helps Yajirobe, who crashed in the ocean, and Yamcha runs through an alley. The artificial humans are standing in the road somewhere in the city, and two guys ask them if they saw the car explode. The fat pale artificial human says nothing, then headbutts one of the guys, and punches the other. Then a car comes up and the driver yells at the old man artificial human for standing in the middle of the road. The old man artificial human puts his fist through the hood, pulling out some wires. Then he grabs the driver by the neck, lifts him up through the roof of the car, and then squeezes his neck until it pops off from the shoulders. A woman sees this and screams, which Yamcha hears, and he rushes over. The woman runs off, and the old man artificial human starts beeping.

The old man artificial human notes that a human with an unusually large energy signal is coming this way, but wonders if it is a search system malfunction. The fat pale artificial human tells "No. 20" it is not malfunctioning, since he has caught the same energy. No. 20 notes that the reading greatly surpasses normal human data, and No. 19 says they have unexpectedly found him... Son Goku!

Yamcha says this is the area where he heard the scream come from, and notices the two guys No. 19 beat up on the ground. Then he spots some people in a building window, and asks them if they saw who killed these two. They say it was two strange people, but they are gone now. Yamcha gets pissed, but thinks he should at least call the others for now. The artificial humans are now up in the air, and No. 19 says, "No, it is not Son Goku. The data does not match. There is a 96% probability that it is the human called Yamcha." Both of them land behind Yamcha, who is thinking maybe he should not call the others. Yamcha turns around and asks them if they have seen where the two murderers went. Yamcha gets a good look at them, and then realizes... No. 20 says, "It's us." Yamcha starts to call the others, but No. 20 puts his hand over Yamcha's mouth, holding him up in the air. Yamcha thinks to himself that his strength is... And then, No. 20 drives his other arm straight through Yamcha's chest and out his back.

Goku lands on top of a building, and wishes Trunks had shown him a photograph of them or something.

The artificial humans are standing in the road somewhere in the city, and two guys ask them if they saw the car explode. The fat pale artificial human says nothing, and then head butts one of the guys, and punches the other. Then a car comes up and the driver yells at the old man artificial humans for standing in the middle of the road. The old man artificial human puts his fist through the hood, pulling out some wires. Then he grabs the driver by the neck, lifts him up (still by the neck) through the roof of the car, and then squeezes his neck until it pops off from the shoulders. A woman sees this and screams, which Yamcha hears it and he rushes over. The woman runs off, and the old man artificial human starts beeping.

-The old man artificial human notes that a human with an unusually large energy signal is coming this way, but wonders if it’s a search system malfunction. The fat pale artificial human says it isn’t malfunctioning (referring to the older one as No. 20), sine he has caught the same energy (Knowing that the old man artificial human is No. 20, the fat pale artificial human must be No. 19). No. 20 notes that the reading greatly surpasses normal human data, and No. 19 says they’ve unexpectedly found him... Son Goku!
