===Neko Majin===
Having been defeated and humiliated in his previous battle against [[Z (Neko Majin)|the Neko Majin named Z]] (ultimately leading to his off-page divorce), [[Onio]] returns to Earth for revenge with help: the strongest being in the universe, an alien with a chestnut-shaped head, [[Kuriza]]. Z is unimpressed, preoccupied with arranging his new battle with the "strongest man in the world", [[Thunderbolt]]. To get everyone's attention, Kuriza fires a ''ki'' blast, destroying Thunderbolt's car. Z is furious that someone is getting in the way of his fight with Thunderbolt, and charges in at Kuriza, punching him so hard that he goes into the ground, bursting out covered in oil. Finally seeing what he is up against, Kuriza hunches over and transforms, showcasing his "true form". Z decides to transform as well, with his resulting transformation only being apparent by the new double-eyelids; Kuriza is upset that they are wasting pages on such worthless things. Thunderbolt chops his assistant unconcious when she lets an "onion-head" insult hurl at Kuriza, Z's young friend runs off to catch his favorite anime, while Z just stands and farts in the subsequent silence. Kuriza decides to give up for the day, upset that he would be expected to show off with a single page left, being called an "onion-head", and the others are just watching anime and farting. Kuriza wants to fight the next day, but Z will be busy fishing. Everyone will just have to stay over at Z's place, helping out with the chores, until they can find a time to battle.<ref>Toriyama, Akira. ''[[Neko Majin Z 2]]''.

Z, his young friend, Onio, and Kuriza enjoy a rambunctious game of soccer until Kuriza accidentally kicks the ball into the sky with all his strength. Everyone thinks the ball is coming back down, but when Z flies up to kick it, they find they have kicked Vegeta's space pod down. Onio is surprised to see Vegeta, who has come on Freeza's orders to rescue the group, who has been gone for five months. Kuriza, certain that Vegeta will win, watches from the sidelines while Z does battle with Vegeta. When Vegeta seemingly takes a phone call and rushes back off into space, Kuriza and Onio wonder if their cell phone signal would reach all the way out here on this planet...<ref>Toriyama, Akira.
