Frieza discovers that simply gathering the Dragon Balls is not enough to make a wish. Realizing a secret phrase must exist, he sets off to find the remaining Namekians and force one to reveal it. On the battlefield, Gohan refuses to stay down despite brutal punishment from Recoome. His courageous stand ends with a broken neck, but hope arrives as Goku's spaceship touches down on Namek.
