Saiyan Hunting

Episode 26 continues the street battle between Goten and Baby. Goten appears to have the upper hand, with Mr. Satan happily claiming credit for training him. Valese cheers Goten on, fueling his desire to show off. He transforms into a Super Saiyan, but Baby's Full Power Energy Blast Volley lands a cut on Goten's skin. As Goten powers up to his maximum and launches a Super Kamehameha, Baby exploits the wound, shooting directly into Goten's body through the cut.

Now in control of Goten, Baby abandons the fight in Satan City and flies toward Capsule Corporation. His objective is clear: find Vegeta and commandeer the body of the strongest Saiyan on Earth, then rebuild the Tuffle race.

At Capsule Corporation, Chi-Chi and Goten have been living with Bulma's family while Goku is away. Gohan arrives for an overnight visit just as Baby Goten storms in demanding to know Vegeta's location. Chi-Chi scolds him for his behavior, and Bulma explains that Vegeta left earlier. Without warning, Baby Goten attacks Gohan, who quickly realizes something sinister has taken control of his brother.

Chi-Chi and Bulma chase the fighting brothers outside, and the confrontation moves to the sky. Baby determines that Gohan's body would be a more effective weapon against Vegeta. He goads Gohan into powering up to Super Saiyan by making him believe that staying at low power will protect him from possession.

The moment Gohan reaches Super Saiyan, Baby exploits a cut left by Goten and transfers into Gohan's body. Goten collapses from exhaustion, free of Baby's control but utterly drained. Piccolo, having sensed Baby's dark energy from afar, arrives on the scene. He vows to destroy the parasite, but Baby Gohan fires an energy blast that engulfs both Piccolo and the fallen Goten.

Meanwhile, Goku, Trunks, and Pan recover the Three-Star Black Star Dragon Ball on Planet Cretaceous, completely unaware of the crisis unfolding back home. Baby marvels at the power flowing through Gohan's body and turns his attention toward his ultimate prize: Vegeta.
