A Matter of Pride

The Duel Intensifies

While Vegeta slips away to hunt the Dragon Balls, Goku takes a sharp elbow to the face from Captain Ginyu. He recovers quickly and the two trade blows at blinding speed, neither landing a clean hit. They separate and Ginyu concedes that Goku is skilled, though he insists the Saiyan cannot win alone. Goku, meanwhile, fumes over Vegeta's decision to abandon the fight in favor of tracking down Gohan and Krillin to extract the summoning method for the Dragon Balls.

Hidden Power Revealed

When the battle resumes, Ginyu reveals that he too can manipulate his battle power at will. Jeice watches from the sideline, mentally noting that Ginyu's power level should dwarf the 60,000 he estimated for Goku. Ginyu fires a Milky Cannon, which Goku dodges before retaliating with an aerial kick that Ginyu also evades. Their exchange continues into the sky, where Ginyu quickly realizes that Goku holds a speed advantage.

Jeice's Interference

Just as Goku presses his edge, a blast from Jeice strikes from an unexpected angle, distracting him long enough for Ginyu to lock him in a Full-Nelson hold. Goku prepares to use the Kaio-ken to break free, but before he can act, Ginyu releases him. The captain is furious, threatening to kill Jeice if he ever meddles in the fight again. Ginyu then orders Goku to reveal his full strength, sensing that the Saiyan has been holding back.

Beyond All Predictions

Goku tells Ginyu to watch the scouter reading carefully. Ginyu estimates that Goku's maximum power level sits around 85,000. When Goku activates the Kaio-ken, the number climbs past 110,000 and continues rising, leaving both Ginyu and Jeice staring in disbelief at a force far beyond anything they prepared for.
