Dragon Ball - Legacy of Gine Vol. 12

Episode 66 - Peace Achieved,Peace Earned!

Following Cell's defeat,Gohan and the others return to Kami's Lookout. Hercule Satan,however,takes credit for defeating Cell,with the cameras broken to see what really happened,he can get away with this. So the public celebrates Hercule Satan's "victory." King Furry is one of the few who knows the truth,however,and thanks Kakarot and friends for saving Earth again.

At the Lookout,Dende heals Gine of her injuries.18 awakens and after expressing some form of gratitude toward Krillin for saving her,she departs. Android 16 joins her,but not before thanking Gohan for saving the world. With all 7 Dragon Balls already gathered,Dende summons Shenron.

The first wish is used to successfully revive everyone killed by Cell,including Trunks. However,Kakarot cannot be revived,as Shenron has already brought him back to life once before. Dende suggests they can use the Namekian Dragon Balls,but at that moment,Kakarot contacts them from Otherworld through King Kai once more. 

Kakarot states his wish to remain dead,believing that the Earth will be safer without him attracting anymore villains there,plus King Kai's gonna take him for some special training,so he's bound to have tons to do in the afterlife.

With that,Kakarot bids his son,his mom,and friends a final fond farewell. Krillin then asks Shenron to use the second wish to remove the bombs from inside Androids 16,17,and 18. After their wishes are granted,Shenron departs.

The Z Fighters soon go their separate ways,and Gohan informs a heartbroken Chi-Chi of Kakarot's fate. The next day, Trunks bids farewell to everyone and begins his journey back to the future. As Trunks departs in his time machine, Gohan is seen smiling at his father's spirit in the sky.

Trunks returns to the future and is reunited with Bulma. He then seeks out and destroys both Future Androids 17 and 18. 1 year later,Trunks prepares to head back into the past to tell everyone of his victory. However, there is still one more villain to stop - Imperfect Cell. After a brief fight,Trunks launches Cell into the air and destroys him with ease. Peace is finally restored to the future timeline.

Back in the present, Kakarot begins his new "life" in the Otherworld.

Episode 67 - Kakarot In Otherworld!

On their way to the Grand Kai's Planet,King Kai reveals that the main reason why he wanted Kakarot to get this special training is that,as his proud mentor,he wants him to learn new techniques and improve himself as a fighter and remain strong.

Once there,they meet Lord Kai,the Kai of the West. Joining him is his Main Man and Otherworld Legendary Warrior,Pikkon,both also looking to see Grand Kai. After a confrontation between the Kai's,Grand Kai appears. 

Grand Kai reveals that he knows what the Kai's want and that's for Him to give their Men Special Training. Grand Kai tells them that he doesn't just gives out free Training Sessions and that they'll have to earn it. So he decides to hold a Special Tournament - Where Each of the 4 Kai's will have their best Man fight to earn the right to be trained by them.

And So a Tournament was held. Here we meet the other 2 Kai's - Lady Kai,the Kai of the West and Emperor Kai,the Kai of the South.  Both Kakarot and Pikkon defeat their opponents (the warriors of west kai and south kai,respectively).

In the finals,Kakarot and Pikkon have a much grander fight. The battle ends in a draw as both men get simultaneously get knocked out of the ring. Impressed with the fight,The Grand Kai agrees to train Both Men. Kakarot and King Kai are both joyous. However,Grand Kai tells them that they'll have to wait until he gets back in shape,so that he can keep up with them - which should be about another 20-40 years. 

Pikkon understands and will wait. Kakarot,as well.   

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Episode 68 - The 7-Year Time Skip Is Here And Now!

7 years have passed since the battle with Cell. Gohan is now a high school student attending Orange Star High School,in Satan City. Gohan also has a younger brother named Goten, who was born after Goku died. 

As for Gine,she is still training,preparing for the next threat to Earth. She still fights and trains barefoot and looks amazing for someone who's in her Early-60's (62-63). This is thanks to her Saiyan DNA,which allows her to keep her youthful looks and stamina much longer than an Earthling.

Once she reaches 75,however,she'll start to show her age. On his way to his first day of high school,Gohan comes across a bank robbery in the city and stops it with his Super Saiyan form. As rumors spread about a "Golden-Haired Warrior",Gohan gets to know his new classmate and Mr. Satan's daughter,Videl.

After a day of trying not to act suspicious in front of his classmates, Gohan travels to Capsule Corporation to talk to Bulma about his problem. Gohan approaches Bulma about his situation. Bulma makes him a transformation watch to hide his true identity.

On his way home, Gohan encounters two people driving recklessly and decides to test out his new gadget. He comes up with the alias "Great Saiyaman",and scares the people into driving more safely on the road.

Gohan returns home later that night,where Chi-Chi and Gohan's little brother,Goten,discover that Gohan now has a costume to conceal his identity while fighting crime. The next day,Videl is called in to stop a bus hijacking and handles the criminals,but the bus falls off a cliff, as nobody is driving the vehicle.

Gohan uses his Great Saiyaman alias once again and pitches in to save the passengers. Videl is suspicious of The Great Saiyaman and wants to know who he is. The next afternoon,Gohan (as Saiyaman) saves the passengers of a plane about to crash and extinguished a fire that caught fire in a building in the city by destroying the water container.

On his way to school the next morning,Gohan is chased by Videl in her helicopter,who is trying to find out who is hiding under the mask of Great Saiyaman. Gohan escapes by placing Videl's helicopter on the roof of a building. Both of them arrive to school late,which leads Videl to be even more suspicious of Gohan.

Later, kidnappers from the Red Shark gang take the mayor of Satan City hostage. The police warn Videl of the situation,so she responds by confronting the leader of the gang. Meanwhile,Gohan, growing impatient of class since he would rather assist Videl as The Great Saiyaman,starts aggressively tapping his foot,triggering an earthquake.

He slides out of class during the confusion and arrives to the scene of the crime as the Great Saiyaman. Gohan saves the mayor of the city while stopping the attempts of the rest of the gang. Videl learns that Gohan was out of school at the same time. Videl is led to believe that Gohan and Great Saiyaman could really be the same person.

After confronting Saiyaman,Videl discovers the truth that he Is Gohan. Saiyaman tries to deny this,but Videl tells him that,after doing some easy detective work,she realized that He sounded a lot like Gohan,vocal-wise. So she just put 2 and 2 together. Videl reveals that she wants to be the Worlds greatest detective and is proud that she solved her first case - Discovering the identity of Saiyaman.  

Gohan tells Videl that she's good and admits she was right Videl blackmails Gohan into participating in the 25th Tenkai'ichi Budoukai Tournament and she wants him to teach her how to fly. Gohan agrees to train her.

Later,Gohan visits Capsule Corp,where he tells Bulma,Vegeta,and Trunks about the Tournament. Trunks wants to enter,but Vegeta doesn't care. Suddenly,Kakarot calls out from the Otherworld and says he will return to Earth for a single day to participate. Vegeta is now interested in the Tournament.

Gohan spreads word of the tournament to the others. First he heads into West City,where he fails to convince Yamcha to enter the Tournament,he'll watch it though. Next he visits Kame House to tell Krillin and Android 18,who is now Krillin's wife. Both Krillin and 18 agree to join. 18 wants to win the prize money.

After that he heads to the Land of Korin,where Android 16 has made his home. 16 refuses to partake in the Tournament,but will join on the sidelines to watch with the others. He then leaves for Kami's lookout to tell Piccolo. Piccolo also agrees to join.

Next,Gohan leaves to find Android 17 and finds him beating up some ruthless poachers in the forest. Gohan tells 17 about the Tournament and he agrees to enter,as he could use the money,plus it's been too boring for him lately.

After that he heads to the Mountains,where he finds Tien and Chiaotzu meditating. He tells them about the Tournament,but they decline the invite,stating that there are bigger things in life than Martial Arts Tournaments. 

The final stop is Mount Paozu,where Gine lives. Gine thinks the Tournament will be fun with Kakarot and the other Z-Warriors participating. She's also very happy that she'll get to see her Son again,even if it's just for the day. After his mission,Gohan returns home to tell Chi Chi.

Gohan manages to convince Chi-Chi to let him participate himself,by promising to win and bring home the 100 Million Zeni Grand Prize. Gohan asks Chi Chi if she would like to participate,but Chi Chi declines.

Gohan takes a leave of absence from school and begins training with Goten. Gohan is surprised to find that Goten not only possesses great strength,but he is also already capable of transforming into a Super Saiyan. Goten reveals that Mom and Grandma have been training him,while he was at school and doing "Saiyaman" things. Videl comes around to have Gohan make good on his promise to teach her how to fly. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Episode 69 - The Son Family and Videl Satan - Masters And Student!

Gohan starts her off with the basics of learning how to control her energy. Within a day,Videl has managed to learn how to float. Following a remark from Gohan,about how her long hair could cause a minor issue when flying,Videl comes back the next day with her hair cut.

Videl is determined to learn more from Gohan. Meanwhile,Vegeta and Trunks are training in the Gravity Chamber. Trunks shocks his Dad when he transforms into a Super Saiyan. It's also revaled since Trunks had better training,He's slightly stronger and slightly more skilled than Goten. 

In the Otherworld,Kakarot trains fiercely in anticipation for the Tournament. Back on Earth,Videl is introduced to Chi Chi and a visiting Gine. Gine volunteers to teach Videl even farther,by teaching her how to use Ki and show her the benefits of fighting barefoot.

So,the next day,Gine's training begins. Videl was skeptical of going barefoot to fight at first,but eventually learned that it not only was it an efficient way to fight,but felt right. Videl's cute feet were somewhat ticklish,as Gohan found out personally.

The next day,Gine teaches Videl how to use Ki through her hands and feet. A useful skill. Videl learns the Kamehameha Wave too.  

During a private training session,Videl hurts her foot and Gohan massages it. Videl really likes it and asks Gohan where he learned how to massage feet so expertly? Gohan reveals he rubbed Chi Chi's feet twice when she was pregnant with Goten. He also blurts out that Videl's her feet are "Kinda Cute",which leads to a slightly awkward moment for the 2. After the foot rub,Videl is ready to continue training.

After 12 days of training,Videl manages to not only master flight,but also fighting barefoot. Her Ki techniques could still use some work however. With Videl gone,Gine,Gohan,and Goten get the opportunity to resume their own training for the Tournament.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Episode 70 - The Arrival Of The Mysterious Men! 

It's finally Tournament Time. On their way to Papaya Island,where the Tournament is held,Gohan advises Vegeta,Goten,and Trunks not use their Super Saiyan forms during the Tournament in order to avoid hassle from the press.

Arriving at the Tournament,Gohan and the others are greeted by Android 17,and then Android 16. Soon,Kakarot arrives with Fortuneteller Baba. He explains that King Kai pulled a few strings with King Yemma and granted him 24 hours visit to Earth. Kakarot meets Goten for the first time,while Piccolo destroys all the cameras in the area to keep Gohan's identity a secret.

After the participating fighters register for the tournament,Goten and Trunks are forced to participate in the New Juniors Division,despite their protest.  Soon,The preliminary rounds begin. The fighters must hit a punching machine to rank their strength.

The Z Fighters are forced to dial back on their strength to avoid freaking people out. Safe to say,they effortlessly qualify for the tournament. Vegeta,sick of hiding his strength,destroys the machine with a single punch.

Afterwards, Gine and the others decide to go and watch the Jr. Division of the Tournament. While Gohan and Videl wait to take their preliminaries, Goku, Vegeta, and the others go to spectate the junior division, where Goten and Trunks effortlessly progress through each round until they face each other in the final round. Bulma,Chi Chi,16,Yamcha,Roshi,Puar,and Oolong watch from the audience. 

The battle is close,but Trunks wins thanks to Goten accidentally getting himself ringed-out. Gine is disappointed that Goten lost. Vegeta gloats about Trunks' victory. The Z Warriors leave to get some snakage,before the Main Tournament.     

During an intermission,Trunks and Goten want to take part in the Main Tournament. So they sucker a dude named Mighty Mask and take his outfit. As Goku and the others get something to eat,they encounter a mysterious pair named Shin and Kibito. Piccolo senses something strange and otherworldly about them.

The 16 qualifying participants gather. They are - Pintaur, Krillin,Piccolo,Shin,Spopovitch,Videl,Yamu,Gine,Android 18,Android 17,Hercule Satan,Mighty Mask aka Goten and Trunks,Vegeta,Kakarot,Gohan,and Kibito.

The drawing begins and the 1st Round matches have been made. They are - Pintaur v. Krillin,Piccolo v. Shin,Videl v. Spopovitch,Gohan v. Kibito,Android 18 v. Hercule Satan,Yamu v. Mighty Mask,Android 17 v. Gine,and Kakarot v. Vegeta.

After the drawing,the Tournament begins. Krillin effortlessly defeats Pintaur. Piccolo and Shin face off against each other. Piccolo senses an overwhelming and otherworldly power coming from Shin,but tries not to let it bother him,as he goes in for an attack. However,before he can strike,Shin talks at him telepathically.

Feeling that Shin's power is far beyond his own,Piccolo forfeits the match. Videl,who has opted to fight barefoot,prepares to go up against a man named Spopovitch. Gine is happy that Videl is gonna fight barefoot,but turns her attention to the ring and wonder why Piccolo just gave up like that?

As Piccolo leaves the ring,he learns from Kibito that Shin is actually the Supreme Kai. The Supreme Kai,is a Kai that is above the Grand Kai and the Guardian of the Entire Universe. The Supreme Kai possess great power,power that is above every other Kai.

Meanwhile,Videl prepares to fight against Spopovitch.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Episode 71 - A Hidden Evil Makes It Self Known!

Videl fights against Spopovitch. Videl gets the upper hand in her match,but Spopovitch keeps getting up no matter how many times he is knocked down. He eventually fights back,but Videl's speed is too much for him. So he uses energy blasts,which manage to hit Videl. Gine suspects that something is amiss about Spopovitch. She realizes that Spopovitch is no longer the same person he was in the past and thinks that Videl should abandon the fight.

Gine thinks of the the last time she saw Spopovitch fight,it was in the Finals of the last Tournament,where he both fought and lost to Hercule Satan,and that the fight was one sided in Hercule's favor.

Something has changed in him. He has acquired new powers,but so has Videl. Kakarot wonders where Spopovitch got his powers from? and if he found a Superhuman master? And if he did,he wonders who it could be?

Videl eventually defeats Spopovitch via a ring-out. A pissed off Spopovitch rushes back to the ring and beats on an exhausted Videl,enraging Gohan. Arena Secutity arrives,but is beaten up by Spopovitch as well. Gohan loses his temper and prepares to storm onto the field.

Spopovitch's partner,Yamu,tells him "Enough" and that they have "More Important Things To Do". Spopovitch tosses Videl out of the ring and gets threatened by Gohan. Gohan promises to make him suffer for this.   

With Videl heavily injured,Gine uses her Instant Transmission to gather some Senzu Beans from Korin. Videl is sent to the infirmary to recover from her injuries,while the Emcee,via the Tournament Officials,says that due to her injuries,Videl will Not be competing anyomore in the Tournament and that the winner of the next fight Will be getting a Bye!.

Gohan prepares to fight against Kibito,however,when he raged against Videl's beatdown,he unintentialy blown his Sayaman identity. 

Gine returns from Korin's with a bag of Senzu Beans. She gives the Senzu beans to Gohan. Gohan rushes to the infirmary to give one to Videl. Gohan gives a Senzu Bean to Videl to restore her to full health,despite the doctors and Hercule Satan's objections. Videl,however,has faith in Gohan.

Gohan's identity as Great Saiyaman is revealed to his classmates after his bandana was blown off during his outburst. Gohan steps up to face against Kibito,who requests to see Gohan's Super Saiyan transformation.

After Piccolo informs the other Z-Fighters of Shin's identity as the Supreme Kai,he orders Gohan to transform. Shin asks Gine,Kakarot and the others not to intervene. Right after Gohan transforms,the Shin holds Gohan with some telekinisis,making the Half-Saiyan unable to move. Gine tells Shin to stop now. Shin apologizes and tells Gine that he needs to do this and that he'll explain later.

Spopovitch and Yamu appear and hold Gohan down. They use a device to drain Gohan's Super Saiyan energy. With their mission is accomplished,Spopovitch and Yamu fly away. Gohan is left weakened. As Kibito offers to heal Gohan to full health,the Supreme Kai asks Gine and the others to join him in pursuing the culprits and that he'll explain his actions along the way.

Vegeta tells Shin that he and Kakarot are staying,as they have a score to settle. Shin tells Vegeta that what's about to happen is much more important than his personal vendetta. Vegeta is angry,but decides to go along to see what's up. 

Kakarot,Vegeta,Piccolo,Krillin,and Android 17 leave with the Supreme Kai. Kibito uses his unique ability to restore Gohan's energy. Kibito,Gohan,Gine,and Videl set off after the others. Along the way, the Supreme Kai and Kibito explain to the others about how an evil wizard named Babidi is seeking to revive an evil being known as Majin Buu,an evil creature of pure destruction and death. Gine remembers reading about Majin Buu back on Vegeta,but thought he was just a Myth. Kibito assures the barefoot Saiyan Woman that Majin Buu is indeed real.

They reveals that Millions of Years ago,Bibidi,the father of Babidi,unleashed Buu across the Universe,where he killed trillions of lives. Buu even managed to reach the Sacred World of Kai's,where the 4 Supreme Kai and their Master,the Grand Supreme Kai lived. Buu killed 3 of the Kai's and absorbed the Grand Supreme Kai. 

Shin reveals that with all of his strength he managed seal Buu up and kill Bibidi. He then hid Buu's prison deep within the Earth,where he had hoped that it would remain undesturbed  But Babidi eventually found it. And by using the energy his puppets Spopovitch and Yamu got from Gohan,Babidi will be one step closer to freeing Majin Buu.

Unable to push her flight any further, Videl places her faith in Gohan and returns to the tournament grounds. Videl comes to understand that Gohan was the one who defeated Cell 7 years ago and not her dad.

Gohan,Gine,and Kibito catch up to Kakarot's group. They arrive at the site of a buried spaceship. The Supreme Kai,Kibito,Kakarot,Vegeta,Gine,Gohan,Piccolo,17,and Krillin watch as Spopovitch and Yamu deliver Gohan's energy to Babidi and his partner, Dabura, the Demon King.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Episode 72 - Battle Royal In The Ship,Battle Royal At The Tournament!

Supreme Kai and Kibito warn Gine and the others about the malicious pair. Dabura is the King of the Unsacred World of the Makais and the realm's strongest being. Babidi possesses magic powerful enough to sway Dabura to become his henchman.

Babidi obtaines the energy from Spopovitch and Yamu,but deems them to be of no further use to him. Babidi kills both men with his magic. Dabura detects the presence of the Z fighters (9 in all,each one strong).

Babidi and Pui Pui head inside the spaceship. Dabura confronrs Gine and the others,who prepare to defend themselves. He immediately kills Kibito and then turns Krillin and Piccolo into stone with his spit.

Gine and the others learn that they can only free Krillin and Piccolo by killing Dabura by The Supreme Kai. Gine,Kakarot,Android 17,Vegeta,Gohan,and the Supreme Kai chase after Dabura into the spaceship despite the Kai's warnings.

Upon reaching the first floor, they are confronted by Pui Pui, who informs them they must face several floors before they can reach Babidi at the bottom. Gine,Kakarot,17,Vegeta,and Gohan do not think much of their opponent and play a game of rock-paper-scissors to decide who should fight him. Vegeta wins and prepares to fight Pui Pui.

Vegeta outmatches Pui Pui in terms of fighting skill. Babidi changes the stage to match that of the high gravity planet,Zun,where Pui Pui is frorm. This makes no difference to Vegeta,who obliterates his opponent and opens the way to the next floor.

Believing that the Saiyans and 17 should not be underestimated, Babidi sends in his next warrior, Yakon. Babidi changes the stage to match that of Planet Ankoku,Yakon's homeworld. Even with the aid of the pitch black darkness,Yakon is no match for Kakarot's keen senses. When Kakarot turns Super Saiyan, Yakon uses his ability to consume light and sucks in Kakarot's energy, which causes Kakarot to revert to his normal state.

Rather than finding an alternative way to fight,Kakarot feeds him more Super Saiyan energy until Yakon explodes from being overloaded. This allows Kakarot and the others to move onto the next stage.

On the next stage,Alakazam The Mighty,a Djinn-based alien is the next opponent. 17 decides to take him on. The Alien's illusions are no match for 17's bionic senses and is destroyed. The 4th floor is inhebated by Sgt. SimSim and Lt. Salabim,the commanders of Bibidi's forces. They bring with them some grunts.

It's Gine's turn to fight now and the numbers game prooves to be ineffective as Gine not only beats the Grunts but accidently kills both Sgt. SimSim and Lt. Salabim with her great strength. Vegeta starts to grow jealous of Gine's strength and abilities,feeling that an old woman,especially one who's a low class Saiyan,shouldn't have this much skill and power.  

As Babidi fears of the Saiyans power grows to a greater level,,Dabura decides to face them himself. He goes inside a meditation chamber to raise his power before his battle.

Meanwhile,back at the tournament,Goten and Trunks take a break from their Mighty Mask disguise to get some drinks. They barely avoid having their cover blown. With Gine and the other members still missing, Hercule suggests that a battle royal be held between him and the 2 remaining contestants. After 15-minutes of discussions,the Tournament Officials agree to this.

As the match begins,Android 18 and Mighty Mask ignore Hercule and fight each other. As the battle between Android 18 and Mighty Mask continues to escalate,18 struggles to keep up with her opponent's unpredictable moves. She manages to land a critical hit against Goten and Trunks and knocks them into the center of the stage.

Goten and Trunks decide to switch places with Goten now on top and Trunks now on the bottom. This pushes Android 18 to the point,where she starts using energy blasts against them. 18 manages to hit back with support from her daughter Marron.

Goten and Trunks decide to go Super Saiyan and launch a powerful blast at Android #18. She figures out who they are and exposes their true identity. This results in Goten and Trunks being disqualified. Goten and Trunks are forced to flee.

Android 18 and Hercule Satan are the only remaining fighters left in the battle royal. Goten and Trunks come across Videl upon her return,who tells them about the current situation. Excited,Goten and Trunks leave to help the others. Dabura emerges from his meditation chamber and is ready to face off against Gohan.

Noticing his complete lack of strength after putting Mr. Satan in a headlock,Android 18 makes a deal with him - She'll let him win and allow him to maintain his dignity,if he gives her His prize money,plus a little extra for a foot massage and pedicure later. Hercule agrees to this and 18 allows him to kick her out of the ring. 18 then threatens Hercule with both "Humiliation" And "Hospitalization" if he goes back on their deal.  

Back at the spaceship,Dabura appears before Gohan and decides to give him a handicap by choosing an arena similar to Earth's environment. As the fight gets underway,both Gohan and Dabura bring out their full power against each other. Gohan,thanks to upkeeping his training,is doing amazingly well,but it's not quick enough for Vegeta,who's grown impatient to settle things with Kakarot.

This catches the attention of Dabura,who abandons the fight to report to Babidi. Babidi and Dabura learn Vegeta still retains a lot of evil in his heart,so the Wizard uses his magic to target Vegeta's mind and sway him over to his side. Gine tells Vegeta to fight it,but Vegeta tells her that he can't. Soon Vegeta becomes Majin Vagita

To make matters worse,Babidi transports everyone to the Tournament grounds,where Vegeta is still focused on his desire to defeat Kakarot,he also wants to fight Gine too. Majin Vegeta prepares to face off against them,even with innocent bystanders watching.
