Plot

Goku tells Krillin and Gohan to get out of there while he fights Vegeta. Goku then goes to Vegeta to ask him if they are going to fight somewhere else (at Krillin’s request) so as not to ruin the bodies of his dead friends, and Vegeta agrees. Goku is stunned by Vegeta’s speed as they fly off. Gohan, Krillin and others begin to fly to Genie Island. Gohan is worried about his father but follows Krillin, who has reassured him and will be happy to visit his mother after so many years. Vegeta gets ready for the big fight with Goku.

Goku leads Vegeta to a rocky area. Vegeta mocks Goku by saying that he’s an inferior warrior and good for nothing. Goku quickly replies that with willpower, it’s possible to become a great hero. Vegeta smiles, and he prepares to fight Goku. They fight, and appear to be at the same level until Vegeta hits Goku. He realizes that his opponent is stronger than him, but he seems excited and not worried. To hit Vegeta, Goku unleashes his Kaioken. He hits him but does not overpower him.

In the meantime, on Genie Island, Bulma and the other observers try to see the battle from Baba’s crystal ball. But nothing is visible. Baba believes Bulma destroyed the sphere by slapping Bulma in the beginning. But the Genie tells Baba that Goku’s strength 💪 is keeping the images from displaying. The solution is for Bulma to use Radish’s power detector and see two great levels of fighting coming out of the west. Chichi believes that Krillin is dead and Gohan is dead. Goku attacks Vegeta with the Kaioken.

Vegeta sees the true power of the Saiyan by creating earthquakes, triggering thunderstorms, and surrounding himself in a ball full of energy. Goku is astonished at the Saiyan’s power, and even starts to worry about it. A nearby town is home to blonde Laura, who is distraught by Tenshinhan’s death. She consoles herself with a drink at the bar, and then feels an earthquake tremor. She quickly goes outside to see crows flying over an area. This is when she realizes that there is something very important going on. Goku is ready to strike Vegeta.

Vegeta’s powers are superior to Goku’s. Vegeta actually hits Goku quickly and sends him flying. Goku stops midair and turns to a rock. Vegeta immediately throws an energy beam at Goku, which he dodges with the Double Kaioken. However, he cannot dodge the second energy beam which will ruin half his clothes. Goku is forced to use the Triple Kaioken after that. The Double Kaioken. Vegeta’s amazement at this power is magnified when he suddenly launches himself at Vegeta with a punch.
