Synopsis

When Yajirobe learns that the legendary Piccolo Daimaō is in the floating base above them, he gives his Dragon Ball to Goku and runs away. Daimaō at last shows himself before Goku, burning with the desire to avenge his underlings! Relying on his anger, Goku challenges Daimaō to a battle, and seemingly overwhelms him. But Daimaō gets serious, and the situation reverses itself. Daimaō batters Goku with tremendous power! Even a Kamehameha with all Goku's force behind it doesn't have any effect on Daimaō.
