Synopsis

While Kaiōshin and co. flee, Goku and Vegeta play rock-paper-scissors to determine what order they'll fight in. Elder Kaiōshin angrily wonders why they aren't fighting together. Goku and Vegeta... their pride as members of the Saiyan warrior race won't allow them to use the Potara to merge, or fight 2-against-1. Goku wins at rock-paper-scissors and faces off against Boo. Boo makes weird noises and taunts Goku, displaying overwhelming power. Boo may be goofy, but he's outrageously strong. Goku transforms into Super Saiyan 3.
