Welcome Back to Dr. Slump

On a far-off island, a parade of familiar Dr. Slump faces strolls home from school. Senbei Norimaki pops up behind them flashing the V-sign, explaining that he is simply thrilled to be back in the pages of Jump after such a long absence. A handful of other characters wave from the background before Arale comes barreling down the road with Gatchan in tow. Their afternoon stroll is interrupted by the roar of a jet engine overhead, followed by Goku on Kinto-Un zooming past in pursuit of General Blue's Thunder Rocket.

Goku Catches the Thunder Rocket

Blue decides he has tolerated the brat long enough and tries to lose him, but Kinto-Un easily matches the jet. Goku pulls ahead, sticks his tongue out, and yanks the Power Pole from his back to smash the craft. Blue banks into a hairpin u-turn, though, and Goku loops around to catch him as the Thunder Rocket drifts with cut engines over Arale's house. Sensing his chance, Blue slams the rocket engines to full power, blasting Goku square in the face and knocking him clean off the golden cloud.

Ossu Meets N'cha

Blue cackles at his own cleverness, right before plowing his Thunder Rocket straight into the side of a mountain. Goku tumbles to earth laughing at the general's stupidity and lands neatly on his feet directly in front of Arale. She cheerfully greets the stranger with her trademark "N'cha!" and Goku fires back an equally cheerful "Ossu!" Before a longer conversation can start, he calls Kinto-Un and takes off again to find his quarry. Arale and Gatchan dash after him, eager to see more, while somewhere in the wreckage General Blue stirs, bruised but still very much alive.
