Synopsis
After Dr. Gero is killed by No. 17, his computer activates his earlier creations. No. 13, No. 14, and No. 15 have orders to kill Son Goku, who is shopping with the family. As the battle ensues, No. 13 undergoes a terrifying transformation. Can the three Super Saiyans stop No. 13 from completing his mission?!
Summary
Prologue
A peaceful scene in the mountain wilderness is interrupted by an explosion! A cave in a cliff wall explodes out in a green ball of ki with red lightning. Inside, Doctor Gero struggles against the hand of Artificial Human No. 17 which has been plunged through his chest. Gero's right arm has been severed and he seems powerless against his assailant. Nearby No. 18 smirks and watches on. No. 17 pulls out his hand and, despite the doctor's protests, lops off his head in a roundhouse kick. No. 17 crushes the head under his foot to finish the job.
Fluids drain from Doctor Gero's body and drip down through a hole in the floor to a hidden lab underneath. The camera pans down to reveal a computer in the sealed off lab, still running a program to create the most powerful Artificial Human. Three pods line the wall as the computer softly chirps to itself in the background.
Film
Some time later, a metropolis is bustling at the open of a Summer Bazaar with packed streets filled with festive people. At what appears to be a conference center, Oolong, Turtle Hermit, Kuririn, and Future Trunks are standing alone in line for the "World's Most Beautiful Girl" competition. The Turtle Hermit complains that it hasn't started yet, but Oolong scolds him for being the one that wanted to line up early for a 7:00 PM competition. The Hermit says that he needs to sit at the front to have the best view of the beautiful girls and begins to daydream about their bathing suit-clad bodies. Kuririn and Trunks, who brought his sword to a beauty contest, just look embarrassed. Oolong begins to share the Hermit's excitement and starts daydreaming too. Kuririn scolds them both for misbehaving in front of Trunks and sullying his pure heart. The Turtle Hermit reminds him that only a short time earlier, he wanted to sneak into the women's changing rooms to catch a glimpse. Kuririn insists that he was just kidding! The Turtle Hermit calls him on it and goes off with Oolong to find the changing rooms. At first he protests and says that he will call the police, but in just a moment his resolve breaks and he follows them into the changing area. Trunks is stuck waiting in line alone.
At the nearby Good Fortune shopping center, Son Gohan and Son Goku carry bags and stacks of boxes up an escalator. They arrive on the shopping floor to discover Chi-Chi in battle with other women to secure the best bargains at a clothing sale. Goku asks Gohan why women enjoy shopping so much, but Gohan thinks that his mother uses the trip as stress relief. Chi-Chi tosses more boxes onto Goku's incredible stack, winning applause from a clerk for both of them that he caught them all successfully.
Out in the street, an explosion sends the crowd fleeing in terror. Two Artificial Humans, wearing the insignia of the Red Ribbon Army emerge from the smoke and walk calmly towards the fleeing mob. The first is tall and muscular, with gray skin and a long ponytail. The second is shorter, with sunglasses, a bowtie, and an oversized green hat. They walk calmly through an intersection, sending cars careening out of their way and panic everywhere. They walk calmly and directly through buildings, ignoring the panic and destruction in their wakes. They ignore everyone until they are approached by a police car, which they chop into two with an energy blast without pausing their gait. Explosions rip across the city as they continue their walk until their ultimate destination comes into view: the shopping center where Goku and his friends are shopping. Only now does the shorter one speak for the first time, revealing their goal: Son Goku.
Goku and his friends share a meal in the restaurant on top of the shopping center. Goku makes fun of the Turtle Hermit and others for lining up for the beauty pageant a day early. Kuririn replies that it seemed strange that they were the only ones there. No longer walking directly, the two Artificial Humans pass through the shopping center. The shorter one smiles when his face appears on some display televisions, but they just explode as the taller one passes. Seemingly tired of escalators, the pair blow the doors off of an elevator and ascend up the shaft, blowing their way through the floor of another department, before finally detecting Goku in their scans. They stand on the level below the restaurant where Goku and his friends are eating and launch a combined ki blast up through the floor. The building begins to shake and everything seems momentarily weightless before the entire area is wiped out in a gigantic blast.
At the last possible moment, Gohan manages to escape carrying his mother, while Kuririn, Trunks, and Goku each carry stacks of patrons and their friends. Goku deposits his group on a nearby rooftop and surveys the destruction, catching the two Artificial Humans powering up a second attack. He recognizes it as an attempt on his life and orders his friends to fly away from him as fast as possible. Goku flees just as two energy balls fly from the ruined building, following him. Goku dodges easily and the two Artificial Humans fly out to follow him, providing Goku's first look at his adversaries. He stops in midair and the pair join him. He asks who they are, but the short one just smirks and drinks from a flask that he keeps in his jacket. Goku says that since they have no ki, they must be Artificial Humans created by Doctor Gero. (The Red Ribbon Army logos on their clothes may also have been a giveaway.) The two Artificial Humans finish analyzing Goku and engage him directly, the short one distracting him with a ki blast while the larger one gets in close for hand-to-hand fighting. Goku and he spar for a moment, but Goku fails to notice No. 15's approach. He knocks Goku down into the city below.
Goku emerges from the rubble and flies off, but the pair of Artificial Humans have no difficulty outmaneuvering him and knocking him into a nearby building. Goku somehow becomes trapped in the side of a damaged building as the Artificial Humans begin to pummel him with 'ki attacks, until he is rescued by the appearance of Trunks. No. 15 focuses his attacks on Trunks as Goku breaks out of the building. Trunks implores Goku to move the battle as there will be too many casualties in a populated area. Trunks suggests that they go to the glacial belt where they will be able to fight without injuring others. Goku agrees and takes off at high speed, the Artificial Humans following closely behind.
As sires wail in the damaged city, Son Gohan and Kuririn watch the battle from afar. Gohan wants to help, but Kuririn tells him that their power levels are too different. Gohan wants to flight anyway, but Chi-Chi suddenly appears. She tells him that he needs to stay and study; he starts summer cram school tomorrow. Gohan says that his father's life is more important than studying and takes off, leaving his very angry mother behind. Kuririn means to stay behind, but Chi-Chi attacks and tells him to get going too. He reluctantly flies towards the battle.
In Doctor Gero's lab, the capsule marked 13 suddenly opens, revealing a third Artificial Human, but only his glowing eyes can be seen in the dark. His first words are "Son Goku".
Daizex Summary (To Be Removed)
The city is abuzz with shoppers, all crowding the streets. Inside, however, Trunks, Kame-Sen'nin, Oolong, and Kuririn are the only ones in line for the beauty contest... which isn't going to be held until seven in the evening! Kame-Sen'nin and Oolong fantasize about all the pretty girls, leaving an embarrassed Trunks in the rear of the line. Kuririn mentions that they should cut out their "indecent thoughts"... Trunks is here (he is just a young man, after all). Kame-Sen'nin and Oolong "kindly" remind Kuririn that he's the one who wanted to peek into the girls' rooms, earlier, though! As the three perverts run off, a blushing Trunks wonders what Goku is up to.
Goku rises up an escalator with Gohan, holding a ridiculous amount of boxes. Chi-Chi is angrily working her way through the bargain bins, and tosses another stack of boxes to Goku, who catches them with ease (impressing the surrounding women).
Outside the mall, explosions begin to occur! Down the street walk two strange beings... a short, purple one with a large hat, and a large, gray one with a green pony-tail. The two walk through walls and buildings at will, and even destroy a police car chasing them without looking. Some kind of robotic sensors pick up Goku's trace up at the restaurant, and the small one utters "Son... Goku." They two ride up the escalator, and walk past a series of televisions (the sight of the large being causes them all to explode in comedic fashion). They come to an elevator, and instead of quietly going up this machine, they decide to blast their way in and fly up. Inside the elevator, the lights flicker, and the small one pops up from the ground and smiles. The two beings fly up, some more. Back in the restaurant, Goku is packing down the food as always, while everyone watches and laughs. As the two strange beings make their way towards Goku (forming a large ball of energy), everyone's plates and chairs begin to rise and shake. Goku senses something coming... and the room explodes.
Outside, we see Goku carrying off a giant ball of people packed together, and he sets them down on the ground. The two strange beings prepare to fire at Goku, who yells for Gohan and Trunks to take everyone away. Goku flies off, but the two beings follow him and continue their attack. Goku stops in mid-air, prompting the two to do the same. Goku asks who they are, since he cannot sense any ki from them... they must be more Jinzôningen created by Dr. Gero! As the two beings complete their identity confirmation, their true attack begins, as the small one sucker-punches Goku, who has dodged the bigger one. Goku flies off, still attempting to lead them away from the mass of people and buildings. He is ultimately knocked into a building, and the two fire at him... but Trunks flies in and fires his own blast, saving Goku. Trunks, stating the obvious, says that they must get away from all the people. Goku moves at great speeds (almost teleporting), and heads off, far away from the buildings.
Gohan wants to follow his father, but Kuririn says that their strength just isn't up to par. Chi-Chi, clearly angry, tells Gohan that school starts tomorrow... there's no way he's going! Gohan asks his mother which is more important, his father's life or his studies, and blasts off, knocking his mother back. Kuririn, eyes closed, tells Chi-Chi that he understands how Gohan feels. Chi-Chi runs up, smacks Kuririn in the head, and screams at him to hurry up after everyone else, then! Oolong bids them farewell, Chi-Chi appears content with her attack, and Kuririn wonders to himself if he'll ever get married!
Back at Dr. Gero's lab, the main computer appears to finish its work on something... and a third being steps out of the containment unit #13, speaking the name "Son Goku..."
Goku and Trunks arrive at some kind of ice land, and the two Jinzôningen are there waiting for them. Their identity sensors transmit information back to the main computer, and correctly identify Trunks... and they proceed to attack both Goku and Trunks! Trunks is quickly knocked away, leaving the two Jinzôningen to attack Goku on their own, knocking him to the ground. As Goku tries to get up, a new voice speaks to him. Goku and Trunks fly up to find the Jinzôningen from Dr. Gero's basement has arrived.. sporting a Red Ribbon Army hat. Goku wonders to himself just how many Jinzôningen Dr. Gero created! The new Jinzôningen explains that they are actually the creation of Dr. Gero's computer, hot he, himself. Dr. Gero's desire to kill Goku had been transferred to the computer, which took he initiative to create more Jinzôningen to carry out the task of assassinating him.
Down on the ground, we see that Kuririn and Gohan have arrived. They, however, decide to hide below while Trunks fights #14 and #15, and Goku fights #13. #13 fires a giant red blast at Goku, who cannot hold it back, and is knocked down through the ice into the water. Gohan rushes up, wanting to help his father, but Kuririn again tells him that their power is simply not great enough. Trunks is having a difficult time fighting #14 and #15, and is also knocked down into the ice on the ground. Goku jumps out of the ground with a giant block of ice, which he tosses at #13 (who loses his hat dodging it). #13, however, grabs Goku by the foot and drags him down into the water, again, where the two continue their fight.
The landslide that Trunks had fallen under begins to crumble and rise into the air, and a clearly angered Trunks smirks and powers-up, tossing the rubble at #14 and #15. Trunks tries the same sword attack he uses to kill Freeza, but #14 catches the sword with almost no effort. #15 knocks Trunks to the ground, and #14 throws Trunks's sword down at his head; Trunks dodges it at the last second, and it ends up cutting his jacket.
Gohan flies off to help his father, who is about to be killed by #13's "S. S. Bomb." A energy ball from below knocks #13's attack into the air, and the ice behind Goku shakes and falls apart with a great burst of light. Vegeta has arrived on the scene! In typical Vegeta fashion, he explains that he is not here to save "Kakarrot"... rather, only he, the prince of the Saiyans, will be the one allowed to kill him! Vegeta watches in confusion as #15 walks towards him, but falls into the ice. #15 powers-up and jumps forward, attacking Vegeta... #13 resumes his attack on Goku... and #14 does the same with Trunks. Back in Dr. Gero's basement, the computer is still collecting data, specifically on Goku and his attacks.
Goku, Trunks, and Vegeta all appears to be having a difficult time battling their respective Jinzôningen. Vegeta is knocked to the ground by #15, who is landing a flurry of attacks. Vegeta grabs the Jinzôningen's hands... gets right up in his face, and transforms into a Super Saiyan! Trunks, receiving the same style of attack from #14, dodges and flies up into the air... also transforming into a Super Saiyan! Goku is knocked into a mountain by #13, looks up, and transforms into a Super Saiyan, as well! Gohan and Kuririn watch on in amazement, as all three Super Saiyans have come together. The main computer in Dr. Gero's basement cranks like never before!
The three Super Saiyans initiate the second round of attacks on their respective Jinzôningen, having a much easier time than before, landing an impressive number of hits. A stray blast hits Kuririn in the face, prompting Gohan to put out the blast with some ice. Gohan, in turn, fires a blast at #13, hitting him in the back. #13 turns around and fires back at Gohan... but the blast is deflected! Gohan looks around with a smile, knowing Piccolo-san has arrived! Piccolo jumps up from the ice, grabs #13 by the feet, and calls out to Goku, "Yo, Son!"
- 13 tells Piccolo (whom he knows by name) that anyone who interferes with his fight with Goku will be killed. On the ground, Vegeta rushes forward through #15, and falls to the ground, out of Super Saiyan mode. #15's head falls off into his hands, and he explodes, leaving his two main components in the snow. Trunks does the same with #14, who rushes forward... but explodes in mid-run. His main two components, as well, land in the snow. #13 notes that #14 and #15 have been done in... but laughs as the four intact components, below, rise up and integrate into his body, prompting a giant transformation! Everyone watches in horror as the body-size of #13 increases exponentially, turning his skin blue, and his hair red.
Vegeta takes the first swing at the new being, firing away punch after punch to his chest... none of which do any damage. #13 grabs Vegeta and flies towards the ground. Trunks attempts to rush in, but is blasted away. #13 slams Vegeta into the ground, steps back, and blasts him, again. Piccolo rushes in and tries the same style of attack, but is easily knocked into a mountain in the distance. Goku, of course, tries the same thing. #13 grabs him by the leg, punches him in the groin, and tosses him way down into the crevice of a mountain.
Goku gets up time and time again, only to be blasted down by the new "Integrated #13" each time. He is eventually knocked down into the frozen ocean, again, seemingly unconscious. Gohan and Kuririn (the only ones able to move) rush in. Kuririn fires a series of ki blasts at #13, but none of them help. #13 turns around to blast Kuririn, but Gohan fires his own attack to knock it away (which does result in Kuririn being knocked out, though).
Down in the water, an upside-down Goku raises his hands and asks for everyone to donate their energy to him. In the forest, the animals look up... Oolong and Chi-Chi stop what they're doing and also look up... As #13 walks towards a retreating Gohan, he sees Goku rising up from the water with his hands in the air, and a Genki-Dama beginning to form in the sky above him! #13, angered, fires a blast at Goku. Gohan rushes in and takes the hit for his father, prompting Piccolo to wake up. Goku, in a great deal of pain, continues to ask for more energy. Vegeta, barely able to stand, fires at blast at #13, telling him to keep away from Kakarrot! #13 cracks Vegeta over his knee as more and more energy flies towards Goku. Trunks looks up and sees Goku forming the Genki-Dama, and knows he has to help stall. He fires a blast at #13, knocking Vegeta away. Proclaiming that he comes from twenty years in the future, he screams that in the future, this Jinzôningen does not exist because right here, right now, Goku is going to defeat him! Trunks's sword is broken and he is blasted away. Dr. Gero's computer is cranking even more than it was before as #13 turns around to see a huge Genki-Dama in the air. He attempts to fire an S. S. Bomb at Goku, but Piccolo rushes in just in time to grab #13 and tilt him upwards, calling for Goku to show the true power of a Super Saiyan!
Goku, still forming the Genki-Dama, allows himself to transform into a Super Saiyan. Kuririn notes, though, that since a Super Saiyan (by nature) must have hatred in his heart, he shouldn't be able to use the Genki-Dama! Goku lets out a massive scream, and the surrounding land begins to crumble as the Genki-Dama is drawn into his own body! Goku moves towards #13 in the air, creating an almost-dream like setting of energy and power. #13 is unable to hit Goku, his punches going through him like there was no body there. Goku throws his own punch, which penetrates #13's body. As Goku tosses #13 up into the air, the Artificial Human screams "Son Goku!"... and explodes, completely destroyed. Dr. Gero's computer winds down, stops, and the lights turn off...
On the ground, everyone is passed-out (or nearly-so), but with smiles on their faces. Gohan wakes up, smiles, and sees his father sitting up above him. Goku smiles, waves, and says "Yo!"
Back in the hospital, Kuririn explains that Goku must have taken the energy from the dissipating Genki-Dama into himself; Goku, of course, has absolutely no idea what happened! As everyone laughs, Chi-Chi reminds Gohan that he needs to get better, because school is going to start up again! Gohan pulls the covers over his head, and asks where Piccolo and Vegeta are. Out in the ocean, Piccolo and Vegeta sit in silence on opposite sides of an ice floe, while a lone fish breaches the surface of the water...

Tidbits
- The opening sequence with No. 17 killing Doctor Gero plays out nearly identically to Dragon Ball Z Episode 134. In the episode, the doctor's death was witnessed by Kuririn, Future Trunks, and the other heroes, however they are not shown here. It is unclear whether this is intended to represent a different edit of the same event or an alternate timeline where Doctor Gero was killed by No. 17 under different circumstances. Gero is already missing his right arm; it had been severed in battle with Vegeta in the original story.
- As revealed in Dragon Ball Z Episode 145, Cell's lab was directly underneath the area with Nos. 16, 17, and 18. In this film, that lab appears to be working on a more powerful Artificial Human No. 13 instead. No mention of Cell or his development is made in this film.
- This film's continuity suggests that while Nos. 17 and 18 were somehow defeated, Cell did not emerge to challenge the heroes. (Or, if he did, it was not remarked on in the film.)[2]
- Counting her appearances in the movies, and placing this film with its release between episodes 147 and 148, this is Chi-Chi's 100 appearance in the series. She is the twelfth character to reach that milestone (after Son Goku, Bulma, Turtle Hermit, Oolong, Yamcha, Pu'er, Kuririn, Tenshinhan, Piccolo, Son Gohan, and Vegeta.)
