While on the way back to the Kame House, Kuririn spots the artificial moon in the distance. Feeling Vegeta's steadily growing Ki, Gohan becomes worried for his father, and chooses to return to the site of battle. Unable to sway Gohan, Kuririn joins him to offer whatever aid he can.

     Back on the field of battle, Goku does the best he can to dodge the blows of the giant weremonkey form of Vegeta. However, Vegeta is surprisingly fast and agile for his size, as well as ten times stronger than he was in his previous form, and Goku begins to lose his ground. Goku realizes in the midst of this exchange that it was he, transformed into a giant monkey, that was responsible for the death of his foster grandfather so many years ago.

     Back at the Kame House, Uranai Baba finally succeeds in tuning in her crystal ball to the battle. Bulma spots Yajirobe watching the battle from a safe distance, and yells angrily at him.

     Putting aside his feelings of guilt, Goku prepares to create a Genki Dama. In order to buy the time he needs to concentrate, he uses Tenshinhan's Taiyo-Ken technique to temporarily blind Vegeta, then flies off a safe distance. Stretching out his arms, he siphons off a little energy from everything in nature, gathering it to himself. Goku concentrates the energy into his fist, and prepares to attack Vegeta.

     However, before Goku is able strike, Vegeta launches a powerful blast of his own! Caught by surprise, Goku takes the full brunt of Vegeta's attack, and the energy he had collected dissipates. Nearly out of strength, Goku is unable to escape, and has his leg broken as Vegeta steps on it. In a last act of desperation, Goku fires a blast into Vegeta's face, blinding his right eye. Furious, the wounded Vegeta picks up Goku in both hands and begins to squeeze the life out of him!
