Goku leads Androids 19 and 20 to a remote area far from the city, and the Z Fighters follow close behind. With civilians out of harm's way, Goku wastes no time and transforms into a Super Saiyan, stunning Android 20 with his overwhelming power. The battle with Android 19 begins in earnest as Goku launches a ferocious assault.
Following the devastation caused by Android 20's attack on Sasebo, Goku flies toward a remote rocky area to keep civilians safe. Androids 19 and 20 pursue him without hesitation, confident in their superiority. Piccolo and Tien Shinhan follow as well, while Krillin, Yamcha, and Gohan trail behind at a distance. Android 20 shows no concern about the change of venue, viewing the Z Fighters as easy targets regardless of location.
Upon landing in the barren wasteland, Goku squares off against the two androids. Android 20 declares that he already possesses detailed data on every one of the Z Fighters, including Goku's fighting techniques and power level. Unfazed, Goku powers up and transforms into a Super Saiyan. The surge of golden energy catches Android 20 off guard, as the data he collected never accounted for this transformation. Piccolo and Tien watch with anticipation, recognizing that Goku's power has grown enormously over the past three years of training.
Android 19 steps forward to challenge Goku directly. The rotund android charges at the Super Saiyan, throwing heavy strikes. Goku evades every blow with ease, moving so fast that 19 can barely track him. Goku retaliates with a devastating combination, driving his fist into Android 19's face and sending the machine skidding across the ground. Android 20 watches with growing unease, realizing that their combat projections may be flawed. Despite the damage, Android 19 rises again, seemingly unbothered by pain. The onlookers note that the androids possess no ki signature, making it impossible to gauge their remaining strength through conventional sensing.
