Synopsis

In his battle with Drum, Tenshinhan is overwhelmed by Drum's speed and power, and has a difficult fight! Meanwhile, Goku saves Gyūmaō and Chi-Chi as they are attacked by the army, and hurries off towards Daimaō... As Tenshinhan gradually begins to show signs of fatigue, he takes advantage of an opening to unleash the Mafūba on Daimaō! But the Mafūba fails due to Drum's interference, and instead it looks like Tenshinhan will be finished off. At that point Goku arrives, defeats Drum with a single blow, and saves Tenshinhan!!
