Vegeta's Assault Continues

Vegeta strolls toward Android 19, who remains on the ground. He taunts the machine, asking if its scrap-metal brain miscalculated. Android 19 springs to its feet and launches headfirst at Vegeta, who leans back to dodge and kicks the android skyward. Vegeta pursues instantly, closing the gap before 19 can react. The android throws a punch that Vegeta evades before retaliating with a strike to the face. Noticing that 19 is leaking fluid, Vegeta sarcastically asks whether it is blood or oil. Android 19 fires a Bionic Punisher, but Vegeta sidesteps the blast and slams the android to the ground. The impact creates a sizable crater as the Z Fighters scramble out of the way of the falling body.

Hands Torn Free

As 19 lies motionless in the crater, Vegeta lands at its edge. The android suddenly opens its eyes and leaps up, clamping both hands onto Vegeta's wrists. It declares that it will drain all of Vegeta's power and that kicking is useless because it will never let go. Vegeta plants his feet against 19's face and stretches his entire body outward. Android 19 repeats that it will never release its grip. With a final surge of force, Vegeta fully extends and rips 19's hands off at the wrists, still clinging to his arms. Both 19 and 20 are stunned. Vegeta peels the severed hands away, examines the energy absorption devices in the palms, and tosses them aside. He asks 19 if it can feel fear.

Big Bang Attack

Android 19 scrambles out of the crater and begins running away. Vegeta rises into the air and prepares to finish the fight. Android 20 protests, but Vegeta tells him he will deal with him next. The Z Fighters watch as Vegeta charges an enormous amount of energy, then unleashes his Big Bang Attack. The explosion is massive, stunning everyone on the ground. When the smoke clears, only Android 19's severed head remains. Android 20 concedes that they may have miscalculated but insists Vegeta still cannot win. Vegeta scoffs at the claim.
