Synopsis

Goku says that this battle can't end until one of them is in pieces. Even after Goku receives a leg wound, his power still slightly surpasses Daimaō's. Growing pale, Daimaō tries to blow Goku and the entire city away with a Bakuriki-Maha, but Goku manages to escape through Tenshinhan's Bukūjutsu. Daimaō unleashes another Bakuriki-Maha! Goku uses this opening to attack, but due to his leg injury it doesn't have enough power. Unaffected by the attack, Daimaō blasts Goku at point-blank range!!
