Using the mighty Kaio-ken technique, Goku powers up to his maximum level - which is far greater than Ginyu expected. The captain can do nothing but gawk at his more powerful opponent. The Grand Elder unlocks Dende's hidden powers and sends him off to meet the Earthlings - the Elder has realized the Earth warriors do not know how to use the Namekian dragon balls - and Nail begins battling Frieza to stall for time while Dende travels. While Frieza is clearly the stronger of the two, he is surprised at Nail's ability to regenerate lost limbs. Gohan and Krillin rescue Bulma from a dinosaur attack, and take the dragon radar to find where Frieza stashed the dragon balls. As the episode ends, Ginyu makes the strange move of wounding himself, and firing a strange beam at Goku.
