Out in the wild, Goku and Piccolo continue to challenge Raditz, but the gap between their powers is too great, and they are no match. Faced with certain defeat, the two devise a strategy. While Goku distracts Raditz, Piccolo charges his new special attack, the ''Makankōsappō''. But while Piccolo successfully launches the attack, Raditz still barely manages to dodge it. Goku seizes an opportunity to grasp hold of Raditz's tail, a Saiyan's weak spot, immobilizing him and allowing Piccolo to fire his ''Makankōsappō'' once more. However, the cruel Raditz tricks Goku into letting him escape and proceeds to torture him. Hearing his father's screams, Gohan suddenly rips through the space pod in which he had been confined and stands to confront Raditz. | Out in the wild, Goku and Piccolo continue to challenge Raditz, but the gap between their powers is too great, and they are no match.

[[Raditz]] faces off with [[Piccolo]] and [[Goku]] on the battlefield. Piccolo still cannot believe that his two [[Saiyan]] companions are even stronger than he is; Raditz laughs and says it is too late for him if he does not understand the terror of the Saiyans. Goku concedes the point and says he wishes he did not know that. Raditz says that fools who defy his orders will receive only death. Piccolo assumes that Goku must be excited about this fight, as he normally would be, but Goku says not this time; he is so frightened, he is shaking. Raditz assures him that his fear will become despair soon enough. | |||
Goku demands to know where [[Gohan]] is hidden; Raditz explains that he locked the child in his pod because he was crying, in the crater just behind Goku. Goku runs to the crater to see for himself and finds Gohan crying for him from inside the pod. He flies up to hover above the crater and promises Gohan that he will rescue him soon. Raditz laughs and tells him this will never happen if they die first. Goku returns to the battlefield and he and Piccolo prepare to fight. They charge at Raditz and attack hand to hand, and Raditz counters both of them effortlessly. He lures them into the air and attacks both of them with energy blasts. Goku dodges, dropping to the ground and searching for Raditz, who appears behind him and kicks him to the ground, mocking both for failing to challenge him. Meanwhile, Piccolo has lost an arm, but he assures Goku he can still fight with one arm. Raditz laughs and promises their deaths are imminent. | |||
[[Bulma]], [[Kuririn]], and the [[Turtle Hermit]] are en route to the battlefield in Bulma's ship. Kuririn wonders if Goku is okay, and Bulma has an uneasy feeling, like nothing she has ever felt before. She hopes nothing bad has happened. Muten Rōshi remains optimistic that Goku and Piccolo together will not go down easily, but Kuririn is still worried that Piccolo cannot be trusted; what if he defects and joins up with Raditz? The Turtle Hermit says that if Goku and Piccolo are killed, there is nothing they can do; the entire world will be finished. | |||
Raditz asks if they are already done, and Piccolo asks Goku if he has any techniques in reserve. Goku does not, but Piccolo has been training, and he has something. Raditz asks what they are whispering about; he tells them that whatever strategy they have, it will not work; it will be easier for them if they just get on with the dying. But Goku is interested in Piccolo's new technique and asks him if he can do it with only one arm. Piccolo says that he can, but the attack will take some time to charge. He asks Goku to distract Raditz in the meantime, and Goku agrees, but he wonders if Piccolo's attack will really work on this guy. Piccolo says it probably will, and in any case, they have no other options. Piccolo laughs bitterly; he was saving this technique for Goku. Goku appreciates the irony that it might end up saving him; Piccolo promises that, if they prevail here, Goku is next. Goku laughs and Piccolo tells him this is not the time for it; Raditz wonders why their posture has changed. Goku says he is looking forward to this, and Piccolo tells him to do his best. Goku attacks, and Piccolo begins charging his ''[[Makankōsappō]]'' while Goku struggles with Raditz hand to hand. | |||
