Two Warriors, One Finish

The Final Minutes

Frieza tells Goku that the planet has only two or three minutes before it tears itself apart completely. Goku does not respond, and Frieza quickly deduces the reason for his silence: he is buying time for Gohan and the others to escape. Frieza dismisses the strategy, announcing that once he finishes Goku, he will simply travel to Earth and destroy everyone there as well. Goku breaks his silence, telling Frieza that the tyrant will die here and now, though privately he wonders why Gohan and the others have not left yet.

A Clash of Full Power

Frieza launches himself at Goku but veers sharply at the last second, shooting upward and striking from above with an energy blast. He then appears behind Goku and throws a punch, but Goku reads the movement perfectly. He dodges the strike, locks Frieza's arm in a tight grip, and delivers a crushing headbutt to the tyrant's face. Still holding the arm, Goku swings Frieza in a wide arc and hurls him through the air with tremendous force.

Kamehameha vs. Nova Strike

As Frieza regains his composure in midair, Goku plants his feet and begins gathering energy for a Super Kamehameha. The blue light swells between his cupped palms, growing in intensity as he pours everything into the technique. Frieza responds by powering up his own energy and charging directly at Goku in a Nova Strike, his body wreathed in a blazing aura. Goku fires the Kamehameha just as Frieza closes the distance, and the two attacks collide in a spectacular clash of force.

Meanwhile on Earth, Mr. Popo has completed his summoning of Shenron. He asks the eternal dragon whether it is possible to revive people killed on a planet as distant as Namek. Shenron pauses, saying he is uncertain but willing to try. Mr. Popo urges the dragon to do his best. On King Kai's planet, the deity watches the battle with mounting anxiety as Frieza flies headlong into Goku's Kamehameha wave.
