Synopsis

The boy goes on to blast Freeza to pieces. Gohan and the others are astonished. King Cold steals the boy's sword and swings it at him, but the boy stops him and shoots him through the chest. Finishing off King Cold as he begs for his life, the boy then destroys the spaceship. He invites Gohan and the others, who have been watching all this, to come meet Goku. Vegeta criticizes the boy, saying that he himself, Goku, and Gohan are the only three Saiyan, and that even though the boy is 17 he has no reputation. Goku's capsule then lands, just as the boy said he would. Goku has returned!
