Ep. 25: Krillin Awakens His Hidden Power While Frieza Demands Vegeta's Return

25

Krillin and Dende reach the Grand Elder at an open tower, where Nail greets them. The Elder discusses the dragon balls, his poor health, and the need for assistance. He telepathically examines Krillin, learning about Kami’s history and Piccolo’s origin as the evil half. Recognizing Krillin’s pure heart, the Elder awakens his dormant power, causing a dramatic increase. Krillin then asks if Gohan can receive the same treatment, and the Elder agrees. Meanwhile, Zarbon reports to Frieza that he defeated Vegeta, though the body is missing. Frieza is angry because he believes Vegeta hides a Dragon Ball and must be questioned. He orders Zarbon to retrieve Vegeta for healing. Zarbon finds the Saiyan alive and places him in a rejuvenation chamber on the spaceship.
