[edit] Summary

Bulma is unable to contact Roshi. Roshi reluctantly tells King Piccolo where his Dragon Balls are. Roshi, knowing full well that he is no match for King Piccolo. He has no wish to fight and toys with King Piccolo, enduring the pain he receives. King Piccolo doesn't recall meeting Roshi before, until Roshi mentions Mutaito, and grows fearful as he realizes what Roshi is here to do. Roshi takes a special jar out a capsule and unleashes an evil containment wave. King Piccolo attempts to resist, as Tien watching the whole thing. Unfortunately, Roshi misses at the last second and dies. King Piccolo unites all seven balls and summons the Eternal Dragon.

[edit] Trivia
