The Immortal Battle

Full Power Collision

Both Goku and King Piccolo abandon all restraint and decide the time for testing each other is finished. The Demon King channels his full, terrifying strength into a single punch and connects squarely with Goku. The impact launches the young fighter backward at tremendous speed, and he slams into the ground so hard that a massive crater forms around him. Rubble and dust billow outward from the point of impact.

Tien Shinhan watches from the sidelines, his face pale with dread. Seeing no movement from within the smoking crater, he mutters that it is all over. For several agonizing seconds, there is only silence. Piccolo appears supremely confident that his blow has ended the fight, and the prospect of Goku recovering from such a devastating hit seems impossible.

The Bending Kamehameha

Just when all hope seems lost, Goku erupts from the crater and fires a Kamehameha wave directly at Piccolo. The Demon King plants his feet and raises his guard, bracing to absorb the blast head-on. However, Goku has prepared something cunning. Instead of traveling in a straight line, the energy wave bends mid-flight, curving around Piccolo's guard entirely and striking him squarely in the back of the skull.

The surprise attack catches Piccolo completely off guard. He stumbles forward, visibly shaken and enraged at being outwitted by such an inventive technique. The Bending Kamehameha proves that Goku's training has sharpened not only his raw power but also his tactical creativity.

A Brutal Stalemate

Rattled but far from defeated, Piccolo steadies himself and charges at Goku with renewed fury. Goku meets the assault head-on, and the two warriors collide in a fierce exchange of punches and kicks. Each fighter lands clean, powerful shots on the other, trading damage blow for blow across the ruined landscape. Neither combatant manages to pull ahead, and the battle settles into a punishing stalemate with both refusing to yield even a step of ground to the other.
