Krillin throws the Spirit Bomb at Vegeta, but the Saiyan Prince manages to dodge it at the last second. Following Goku's advice, Gohan rebounds the Spirit Bomb back at Vegeta, though, surprisingly, Vegeta survives the hit. Before Vegeta can finish the Z Fighters off, however, Gohan's tail suddenly grows back and he transforms into a Great Ape thanks to the artificial moon Vegeta had created earlier. After being thrashed around by the Great Ape, Vegeta cuts Gohan's tail off in mid-air, but Gohan falls on top of him as turns back to normal, crushing the Saiyan Prince to the brink of death. Finally defeated, Vegeta summons his space pod and attempts to escape, but Krillin grabs Yajirobe's sword and prepares to finish Vegeta off.
