Recovering quicker than expected, Vegeta is able to escape from Freeza’s ship with all five of his dragon balls. Now, with only two more dragon balls to go, it is only a matter of time before Vegeta and the Earthlings cross paths. Matters only worsen when Zarbon arrives on the scene, eagerly awaiting a rematch with the Saiyan Prince.

As the dragon ball hunt on Namek continues, Dende takes Kuririn to the Saichoro, the father of every other Namekian on the planet. Elsewhere, the defeated Vegeta is taken into Freeza’s spaceship.

While training on his way to Namek, Goku receives news of a certain group of warriors having reached Kaio’s planet for training of their own. Also, Vegeta clashes with Zarbon, a powerful henchman of Freeza who can increase his strength at the cost of his beauty.
