Dragon Ball Z - Frieza Saga


61.Password is PorungaNail gives out in his struggle against Frieza and he then reveals that the fight was to buy time for Dende to give the password to Gohan and Krillin. Frustrated, Frieza races back to stop Gohan and Krillin from making their wishes to revive their friends. Dende summons the Namekian dragon for Krillin and Gohan.


62.Piccolo's ReturnGohan and Krillin have summoned Porunga, the Eternal Dragon of Namek, to wish their friends back to life. But only one person can be revived per wish. Unable to wish back all four of their friends, Krillin and Gohan decide to use the first wish to bring Piccolo back to life, which will revive Kami and the Dragon balls on Earth, and they use the second wish to teleport him to Namek. But Vegeta arrives before the last wish is cast. He demands to be granted immortality but Guru dies before his wish can be granted and so the Dragon Balls become useless. He is angered because his wish wasn't granted, however he is the least of their issues, as Frieza arrives and sets the stage for an inevitable battle.


63.The FusionWith Guru's passing, the Dragon Balls are rendered completely useless and are no more than ordinary stones. Frieza claims he will kill the remaining Z-Fighters one by one. As he and Vegeta fight, Piccolo arrives on Namek, finding a badly injured Nail. Unable to fight in his own body, Nail suggests he and Piccolo combine their strengths through a Namekian fusion technique. Once fused with Nail, Piccolo races to the battlefield to help his friends against Frieza. Vegeta proposes that Frieza should transform, revealing his true power, which he found out from Zarbon.


64.Fighting Power: One Million??Frieza's dark history is revealed as he transforms and his power reaches new heights. Frieza now claims he has a fighting power of one million. As Gohan, Vegeta, and Krillin face off against him, Krillin falls prey to one of Frieza's attacks. Angered by Frieza's mauling of Krillin, Gohan takes on Frieza.


64b.Gohan AttacksGohan is seriously wounded while battling Frieza, but a renewed Krillin (healed by Dende), manages to stall Frieza long enough for Dende to restore Gohan's health. Piccolo, united with Nail, arrives on the scene and looks ready to take on Frieza.


65.Piccolo the Super-NamekGohan is seriously wounded in his grapple with Frieza. But a renewed Krillin jumps back in the fray and resumes his war on Frieza. Thanks to Krillin's efforts, Frieza is stalled long enough for Dende to restore Gohan's health. Finally, Piccolo, now united with Nail, arrives to the battlefield! Will the combined efforts of Vegeta, Gohan, Krillin, and Piccolo be enough to stop Frieza's reign of terror?


66.Déjà vuPiccolo tells the others to stay back and he will handle Frieza alone. To everyone's surprise, including Frieza's, Piccolo manages to hold on his own due to his union with Nail. Despite Frieza's assaults, Piccolo looks as if he's gaining the upper hand.


67.Frieza's Second TransformationAs the battle continues, Piccolo removes his weighted clothing and increases his power, attacking Frieza head on. Knowing that his current power isn't enough, Frieza transforms into his third form. After transforming into this form, Frieza quickly gains the advantage over Piccolo. Vegeta starts to form a plan that could lead to victory against Frieza. Unable to see his mentor suffer, Gohan springs into action, rushing to Piccolo's aid.


68.Another Transformation?Gohan races into battle to help Piccolo, displaying great power against Frieza, and almost achieves victory. Vegeta reveals his plan to Krillin, telling him to beat him to near-death and allow Dende to heal him, allowing his power to increase after healing from serious injury, thanks to his Saiyan cells. This in order to gain the Z-Fighters an increased chance to survive as Frieza transforms for one last time.


69.Dende's DemiseHaving transformed for the last time, Frieza begins an assault against the Z-Fighters. He then kills Dende with his Death Beam because of his healing powers. Then Frieza tries to hit Gohan, but a surprise move from Vegeta saves Gohan from certain death. He then makes the claim that he will take on Frieza all by himself, because he believes to be a Super Saiyan.


70.The Renewed GokuDespite his increase of power, Vegeta can't take down Frieza. As Frieza pummels the beaten Vegeta, the others, gripped with fear, have no choice but to agonisingly watch. But as all hope seems lost, Goku fully recovers inside Frieza's spaceship and discovers his power has greatly increased since his battle with Captain Ginyu.


71.The End of VegetaVegeta is beaten, while, powerless to stop Frieza, Gohan, Piccolo and Krillin can only watch. However, the restored Goku arrives at the battlefield, and Frieza diverts his attention to the renewed Saiyan. Frieza suddenly realises who Goku is, the son of Bardock, the same Saiyan that tried to stop Frieza's reign many years ago when he destroyed Planet Vegeta. Vegeta then declares that Goku must be a Super Saiyan, and that Frieza stands no chance against this new threat. Frieza fires his Death Beam technique through Vegeta's heart, rendering the proud Saiyan warrior helpless. Vegeta explains to Goku how Frieza was responsible for the man he had become, and he begged him to not let him exert the same catastrophic deed to anyone else. Vegeta cries his last tears, and dies. Goku promises he will carry out Vegeta's wish to the best of his abilities; he then buries Vegeta in a shallow grave and prepares to fight Frieza.


72.The Ultimate BattleGoku begins his battle against Frieza, and it seems he and Frieza are equally matched, and Frieza admits that he is the strongest Saiyan. Meanwhile, King Kai reveals that Goku might just have a chance, that if anyone could take down the evil Frieza, it would be him. Goku and Frieza match blow for blow, and Piccolo, Gohan and Krillin have trouble just watching them. The Z-Fighters watch on as Goku is thrown into a pool of lava, and it seems that no-one stands a chance now, but Goku rushes up to the surface and reveals he is only beginning to warm up.


73.Clash of the Super PowersThe battle between Goku and Frieza continues. A notable part is when Goku fires two Kamehameha torpedoes at Frieza from underwater, tricking him, and Goku then delivers a powerful kick on Frieza, sending him in a mountain. Frieza survives however, and then traps Goku inside an energy ball. Frieza bashes the trapped Goku around and fires a blast at it causing the ball to explode, but Goku escapes from the ball because of his speed.


74.Frieza's BoastFrieza boasts he can defeat Goku without the use of his hands, but Goku's fighting skills make Frieza regret making such a statement. Meanwhile, Captain Ginyu pulls off his body switch technique on Bulma, leaving her trapped in the body of a frog.


75.Bold and FearlessCaptain Ginyu runs into the Z-fighters, but as Bulma. Frieza claims he has only been using 1% of his incredible power. He then proves he's not bluffing by powering up to 50% of his maximum, and Goku cannot even land a punch against the invincible giant of evil. Piccolo realizes the horrific truth that Goku won't win, just as Captain Ginyu's identity is revealed.


76.Embodiment of FireGinyu's identity is revealed and plots to switch yet again, and with Piccolo, but his attempts are cut short when Gohan throws Bulma, (in a frog's body) in the way of Ginyu's body switching beam, resulting in Bulma being returned to her original body, and Ginyu being returned to the body of a frog. Meanwhile Goku is still losing against Frieza. Even the Kaio-ken x10 is not powerful enough for him. Goku is thrown underwater, and Frieza tries to drown him, but a vision of his close friends and family being violently murdered by Frieza, and Earth destroyed, gives Goku the encouragement he needs to use the Kaio-ken x20. After landing some punches, Goku fires a massive Kamehameha Wave at Frieza, and for a moment it looks like Goku has claimed victory, but Frieza survives.


77.Trump CardGoku gets another vision, but this time, it is of Vegeta, King Vegeta, and Bardock who tell Goku that he is the last hope of a race of brave warriors. After the vision fades, Goku uses his last and most powerful technique, the Spirit Bomb. Meanwhile, the dead members of the Ginyu Force arrive on King Kai's planet.


78.Keep the Chance AliveYamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu have to put what they learned from King Kai to fight the dead members of the Ginyu Force. Meanwhile on Namek, Frieza is still unable to figure out what Goku is up to, that is until he knocks Goku into a lake, and notices the reflection of the Spirit Bomb. Realising that the Spirit Bomb could already have the power to destroy him Frieza attempts to finish off Goku, but Piccolo jumps in and knocks Frieza away, allowing Goku to continue his building the Spirit Bomb.


79.Power of the SpiritGoku continues gathering the energy for his Spirit Bomb, calling upon the entire solar system for help. Frieza tries to attack Goku, but Gohan, Krillin, and Piccolo stall him. Finally, Goku launches the Spirit Bomb and it makes a direct hit on Frieza.


80.Transformed at LastOn King Kai's planet, Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu send all of the Ginyu Force members back to H.F.I.L. Meanwhile on Namek, Frieza has somehow survived the Spirit Bomb, and he fires his Death Beam at Goku, but Piccolo jumps in the way and is critically injured, though not dead. Frieza then causes Krillin's body to explode from the inside, killing him. Enraged beyond belief, Goku undergoes a wild transformation; his eyes turn green, his hair turns gold, and his body is surrounded in a golden aura, revealing that Goku has finally transformed into a Super Saiyan.


81.Explosion of AngerAfter ordering Gohan to take Piccolo and Bulma to his spaceship and leave the planet, Super Saiyan Goku attacks Frieza and overwhelms him with his greatly enhanced powers. Frieza can't believe that this Super Saiyan is more powerful in every way, and the tyrant is finally receiving a taste of his own medicine, at the hands of a Saiyan.


82.Namek's DestructionUnable to defeat Goku, Frieza fires his Death Ball technique on Namek itself. The blast rips through the core of the planet. But since Frieza didn't use his full power, the planet is given five minutes before destruction.


83.A final AttackGoku launches a powerful attack against Frieza to end the battle and escape before the planet explodes. But Frieza manages to gather enough energy to reach 100% of his full power, making the two fighters evenly matched yet again. Meanwhile, because of the planets imminent destruction, Gohan races to find Bulma and get her to Goku's spaceship.


84.Approaching DestructionThe battle between Goku and Frieza rages on as Namek's destruction draws closer. On Earth, all seven Dragon Balls have been collected and King Kai formulates to save the inhabitants of Namek and put an end to Frieza. Kami and Mr. Popo then summon Shenron.


85.Gohan ReturnsKing Kai's plan nears completion as all of Frieza's victims are wished back to life, including Guru and the Dragon balls. Meanwhile, Frieza launches a sneak attack and knocks Goku into a pool of lava and he appears to have been defeated. With Goku apparently out of action, Gohan arrives on the scene and takes it up against Frieza. Frieza easily beats Gohan, but Goku re-emerges from the lava and sends Gohan back to his ship.


86.The Last WishNow that Guru and the people of Namek have been brought back to life, the Namekian Dragon Balls and Porunga reappear for the final wish. While Goku continues to battle Frieza, Dende races to make the final wish to complete King Kai's plan.


87.Dual on a Vanishing PlanetEveryone has been wished off Namek to Earth, except for Frieza and Goku, who has chosen to stay and put an end to the fight they started. Frieza won't give up without a fight and the time of Namek's destruction is almost at hand, meaning Goku might be trapped on the planet when it explodes.


88.Pathos of FriezaNamek's destruction is approaching fast, but Goku finally takes Frieza down. However, Frieza still has some tricks that could turn the tables on Goku, an energy disk, that follows him wherever he goes.


89.Frieza Defeated!!Frieza's deadly energy disk continues to follow Goku across the almost exploding planet Namek, Frieza grows desperate and in trying to destroy Goku, who manages to counter every move, creates another disk and begins to lose control of Goku's moves. When Goku resumes his assault against Frieza, he is distracted. Frieza's energy disks costs him the battle, slicing him and his power in half, making Goku the victory.


90.Mighty Blast of RageAfter being cut down by his own deadly attack, Frieza reminisces of his entire battle with Goku and still cannot accept he has been beaten by a Saiyan. He uses his last energy to fire a blast at Goku. Goku turns around and fires a stronger blast at Frieza, destroying the evil tyrant once and for all.


91.Namek's Explosion: Goku's End?Goku races towards Frieza's spaceship to escape Namek. Frieza's ship fails to operate, and sinks below into a pool of lava. Planet Namek explodes. King Kai informs Goku's family and friends of his supposed death, but they don't seem worried, because the powers of the Namekian Dragon Balls allowed a person to be revived several times. But King Kai knew that couldn't allow Goku and Krillin to return to life. He told Bulma that when the dragon restores someone's life he brings them back to the place where they died, and Goku and Krillin died on a planet which no longer exists. Vegeta is pleased with the news, but Gohan defends his father’s honor by challenging him to a fight. Vegeta pummels Gohan, but he is rescued at the last minute by Piccolo, who tells Vegeta to back off.


92.Goku's Alive!!With the battle over, the time has come to wish back some friends. Vegeta tells Bulma that there is a way to revive Goku by calling him to the Other World's check-in station. Meanwhile everyone goes to capsule corp. While Krillin and Yamcha are wished back, Tien and Chiaotzu want to remain on King Kai's planet until the Namekian Dragon Balls can be used again. As for Goku, he can't be wished back to life because he never died on Namek. The Namekians then use the last wish to teleport all of them, except Piccolo, to the new Planet Namek.
