Synopsis by Wuken (sabesami@ucla.edu)
|
With a day remaining until planetfall, Goku finally completes his 100 times
normal Earth gravity training. He seems relatively pleased with the results, and
prepares himself for the upcoming landing. Meanwhile, on Planet Namek,
Vegeta finally catches up with Kuririn and Gohan, who plan to ask
the Grand Elder to release the sleeping power dormant inside of Gohan. To
buy time for this to occur, Kuririn volunteers to confront the Saiyan while
Gohan receives the power-up. Vegeta blows by this nuisance, thinking
that the final Dragon Ball he needs to achieve immortality is just on the
mountain ahead.
He arrives on the mountain, and shortly afterwards feels a tremendous
power inside the strange dwelling. Vegeta mistakes it to be that of
Kakarrot's, and is shocked to find out that the
huge power instead belongs to Gohan. Amidst this surprise, Dende
rushes out shouting that something is arriving towards Namek. Vegeta
counts five extremely strong Ki, and correctly deduces that the Ginyu
Special Corps are making planetfall on Namek now.
The Ginyu Special Corps crash-land next to Freeza's spaceship, and proceed
to introduce themselves. After a campy display that leaves their master
speechless, Freeza informs them of the current situation. Freeza is given a
special advanced scouter, and the team set out to track down Vegeta and
the Dragon Balls using their own advanced scouters.
