Synopsis
Summary
As Tagoma powers up, the Z Warriors are astonished at his amazing ki. He is clearly on a different level than the other soldiers. Hiding behind a rock, Jaco assures Bulma that they can definitely defeat him: after all, it is five against one. Bulma is angry that Jaco is not joining the fight himself, but he explains that he is in charge of handling the big horde of enemies, which Tagoma "obviously" is not a part of. Sorbet still cannot believe how powerful Tagoma has become, but Tagoma reassures him that even after he becomes commander, he will still let Sorbet be his doorman. Confronting the Z Warriors, Tagoma confidently tells the five to come at him all at once, but instead Piccolo steps up to face him one-on-one. However, Tagoma is not fazed by Piccolo's punch, and easily breaks his arm off. Gohan angrily blasts Tagoma away, and while Piccolo regrows his arm, Tagoma proves to have been unharmed by Gohan's attack. He explains that enduring Freeza's attacks during their four months training together has given him a "body of steel", and so their "refined" attacks have no effect on him. At that point Gotenks charges into battle, head-butting Tagoma right in the crotch. Tagoma doubles over in pain, and the Turtle Hermit notes that this was an "unrefined" attack.
Gotenks is mad at the others for leaving him behind for something fun like this. Bulma says he is no match for this opponent, but Gotenks still considers himself invincible. Looking up, he identifies Freeza as the boss, but just as he is about to take him on, he suddenly splits back up into Goten and Trunks. From their faces, Freeza deduces that Goten is the son of Goku, while Trunks must also be a Saiyan, since he looks just like the one who sliced him in two. Freeza is upset to see that the Saiyans have multiplied so much while he has been dead, and vows to wipe them all out. He orders Tagoma to pull himself together and finish the enemy off. However, as Tagoma remains on the ground in pain, a frog with antenna runs up to him, writing something in the dirt in front of him using some strange alien alphabet. Tagoma reads the word out loud: "Change." The moment he says this, his personality suddenly alters. He starts doing weird poses, and even his voice seems different...
The new Tagoma greets Freeza: "It's been a long time". It turns out that Ginyu, former captain of the Ginyu Force, has changed bodies with Tagoma. As Jaco explains, this was the top unit in Freeza's army, composed of their most elite troops (meanwhile Goten and Trunks are annoyed, saying their poses are cooler than this guy's). While Freeza had long since assumed Ginyu had died, Ginyu explains that back on Planet Namek he used his special body-swapping abilities to try and change bodies with Vegeta, but "that other Saiyan" interfered, trapping him in the body of a frog. Later, he somehow suddenly found himself on Earth. Since then he has endured many hardships, but he always retained his faith that one day he would be able to fight for Freeza's sake once more. Bulma seems upset when she recognizes who Ginyu is, telling Jaco that she "doesn't want to talk about it".
While Ginyu has invented a special new pose to commemorate his revival, Freeza simply instructs him to finish off Gohan and co. He says he's not used to his new body yet, but he will give it a shot. Powering up, he recognizes Gohan as that kid from Namek, all grown up, and wonders how much Gohan has improved since back then. Ginyu quickly knocks down the entire five person group, and Freeza applauds in delight. It turns out that Tagoma's body is even more powerful now that Ginyu is in control of it. Jaco explains that Ginyu has drawn out Tagoma's power, vaguely saying "that's the sort of life-form he is". Meanwhile, Bulma sneaks back to Jaco's ship with Goten and Trunks in tow. Bringing out the strawberry sundae, the three of them call out to Whis to try and get his attention, while Jaco looks on, wondering what they are doing.
Over on Beerus' planet, Beerus and Whis are enjoying some pizza. Whis still thinks it was "too early" to send Goku and Vegeta to "that place". Beerus disagrees, saying the two of them get stronger the harder they are pushed, so this should be a good way for them to get stronger in a short amount of time. Besides, they need to get stronger fast if they are going to make good "playmates" for him. Elsewhere, Goku and Vegeta float in midair in this mysterious place. At first they cannot even move, but Vegeta figures out that the trick is to raise their ki without having it "leak out" of their bodies. Though they can now move, the place is still harsh, exerting incredible pressure on them due to what Goku believes to be godly ki. It is also hot, and difficult to breathe... just like the Room of Spirit and Time. Goku assumes that like the Room, time must likewise flow differently in this place. He warns Vegeta that they had better find a building with some food before they starve to death, while Vegeta wonders if Whis' staff is the only way to get in and out of this place.
Back on Earth, Gohan steps up to fight Ginyu. He becomes a Super Saiyan, shocking Freeza, who did not know that Goku's son was likewise capable of this transformation. As a Super Saiyan, Gohan quickly neutralizes Ginyu; while Ginyu will not give up, Gohan says that there is no point in continuing the fight. Suddenly though, Gohan is pierced by one of Freeza's ki beams, who states that he will finish Gohan off in place of Ginyu. Freeza remembers when Goku spared his life on Namek, a memory which still sickens him. Firing blast after blast into Gohan, he demands that he cry and beg for his life... "Not that I'd ever spare you, of course". The others try and step in, but Tagoma holds them off. Freeza cannot wait to see the look on Goku's face when he sees that his son is dead. He fires a finishing blast... but Piccolo suddenly jumps in the way, shielding Gohan.
