Goku and Piccolo face off against Raditz on the crater-marked plain. Unfortunately, Raditz's power is just too great, and they are unable to guard against the alien's incredibly fast attacks — Piccolo's arm is even vaporized by a near-miss with an energy blast. Goku draws Raditz's attention as Piccolo unleashes Makankosappo, his new devastating corkscrew technique. However, Raditz dodges the blast in the nick of time! Goku uses the opportunity to grab Raditz's tail, the Saiyan race's Achilles' Heel. Powerless, Raditz acts repentant and tricks Goku into letting him go, then treacherously turns on him and attacks!
