Outmatched at Kaio-ken times ten, Goku faces the terrifying reality that Frieza is using only half his strength. In desperation he pushes Kaio-ken to twenty times its base level, delivers a thunderous punch, and follows up with a Kaio-ken Kamehameha at point-blank range. To his horror, Frieza blocks the entire blast with a single hand.
