Summary

At Goku's house, Chi-Chi is thinking of the fun Goku and Gohan are having when her father arrives with gifts for Gohan. While this is happening, Goku's friends are still mourning his death when his body disappears. Piccolo knows that it's Kami's doing, as he is planning to take Goku to see King Yemma in Other World. Krillin tells his friends that they must start gathering the other Dragon Balls, while Bulma is curious about how Raditz found Goku. Piccolo tells her about the device on his face and what it can do. After she makes Krillin get it, she begins fiddling with it, telling the others that she could get it to work and use it to find the rest of the Z-Fighters. Roshi invites her to his house to fix it, while Krillin begins to look for the Dragon Balls. When they look to Piccolo, they watch as he grows his arm back.

Piccolo then tells them to leave Gohan with him, as he is going to train him. He also mentions that Gohan has amazing potential, and that two Saiyans will be at Earth in one year, and that Gohan needs to be ready by then. Piccolo then takes Gohan, and flies away. We then see Goku and Kami in Other World, begging King Yemma to let Goku go to King Kai to beg for training. Goku asks King Yemma if Raditz showed up, in he replies that he sent Raditz to Hell. Goku, stunned by his power, wants to train with him instead, but Kami interjects that King Kai is stronger. King Yemma decides to let Goku risk Snake Way and summons a guide for him. Kami contemplates the arrival of the Saiyans, and that until Goku gets back, Gohan is their only hope. King Yemma interrupts, and forces Kami to leave. The guide drives Goku to the beginning of Snake Way, talking to him about King Kai.

Back of Earth, Roshi and Bulma single out Krillin to tell Chi-Chi of the fate of her husband and child. Goku arrives at the beginning of Snake Way, with the guide telling him that Snake Way is one million miles long, and that the only person to successfully make it there was King Yemma. He also warns Goku not to fall off of Snake Way, as if he does, he will fall through the clouds and go to Hell. Before Goku leaves, he asks that the guide relay a message to Fortuneteller Baba, who would then tell Roshi. He asks that he not be resurrected for a year. Then Goku is off.

We see Krillin as he approaches Goku's house ready to tell Chi-Chi that Goku is dead and her son is with Piccolo. However, he becomes apprehensive when Chi-Chi answers the door, and even more nervous when her father come to the door. He tries to explain the situation to her, but his nervousness just makes her angry, and her father invites Krillin in for dinner. Piccolo and Gohan then reach an isolated reigon, and Piccolo wakes uup the unconscious Gohan. Gohan becomes scared and calls for goku, but Piccolo tells him that his father is dead. he also tells him that his father;'s friends are gathering the Dragon Balls, but that they are not. he tells Gohan about the Saiyans and how much more powerful than Raditz they were. he also tells Gohan that he is much stronger than he thinks. When Gohan doesn't believe him, Piccolo tosses Gohan at a mountain. Gohan's power takes over, and destroys not only the mountain, but makes a giant crater behind the mountain going for miles. Gohan is surprised at his own power, along with Piccolo. however, Gohan still protests to training, but Piccolo forces him and Gohan, fearful, complies. Back on Snake Way, Goku, tired from flying, continues Snake Way on foot.
