As Z Fighters who had fought alongside Son Goku since childhood, Yamcha and Tien Shinhan understood the profound weight of the bond between Goku and Krillin. When they were kids, Krillin's first death at the hands of Tambourine had sent Goku into a primal, uncontrollable rage, leading him to charge blindly into vengeance despite Master Roshi's warnings. Now, seeing Frieza ruthlessly execute Krillin again, it was no surprise that Goku's spirit finally fractured.
In the spirit realm, Krillin was deeply moved. Their friendship had truly stood the test of time, yet he couldn't help but feel the gravity of the situation: his death was the spark that ignited the legend of the Super Saiyan.
In West City, Akira watched the flood of bullet comments with a tactical gaze. As a transmigrator, he knew that while anger was the traditional catalyst for the transformation, the path would eventually be simplified into "tingly back" sensations for the Saiyans of Universe 6 or naturally inherited by the likes of Goten and Trunks.
However, Akira noted that the absolute pinnacle of the Saiyan raceâGoku, Vegeta, Gohan, and the powerhouse Brolyâhad all reached their initial breakthroughs through pure, unadulterated fury. To Akira, this proved that the path of rage wasn't just a shortcut; it was the most potent foundation for Saiyan power.
On Snake Way, Goku's mind raced. While the golden Ki of the Super Saiyan was breathtaking, his heart ached for his friend. "Damn it! Krillin was killed again! He's already been revived once by Earth's Dragon Ballsâhe can't come back a second time!"
The realization hit the Z Fighters like a physical blow. Earth's Shenron had a strict limit: you could not be revived from death twice. To them, Krillin was gone forever.
"I can't be revived anymore..." Krillin's comment flickered across the screen, filled with a somber finality.
"I see," Tien Shinhan added. "No wonder Goku is so enraged. Frieza is a monster who deserves no mercy."
"I finally get it," Yamcha remarked. "The video wasn't kidding when it said Frieza's own cruelty birthed the Super Saiyan. He created his own worst nightmare."
Piccolo's cold logic cut through: "If Frieza had only killed me, Goku might have stayed focused. But he just had to kill Krillin."
"It's okay, Krillin," Chiaotzu chimed in softly. "I've been revived before too, so I can't go back either. I'll be with you in the Other World."
A heavy silence fell over the group. The permanent loss of their friends felt unbearable until Bulma's comment pierced the gloom. "Why are you all acting like it's over? Since you're seeing the future, change it! You're all here at Capsule Corpâuse the Gravity Training rooms, get stronger, and make sure no one dies in the first place!"
The Z Fighters' spirits soared. Bulma was right. Armed with the tactical knowledge of the future and high-gravity technology, they wouldn't be the same victims seen in the video.
"Everyone, keep it up!" Goku's voice resonated with newfound hope. "I'll train even harder here with King Kai!"
Across the Wanjie Multiverse, the Z Fighters' resolve sparked a fire in others. In the world of One Piece, Monkey D. Luffy slammed his fist into his palm, his eyes shining with the same determination to protect his nakama. Even the weary Ye Hei felt a surge of motivation to push past his limits.
However, a chilling comment from Frieza interrupted the inspiration. "Oh ho ho ho! Aren't you all a bit naive? You're acting as if this golden hair makes him invincible. Super Saiyan is just a multiplier. If the base strength is pathetic, the result is still trash. Even if it's thirty times stronger than a Great Ape, he's still a flea compared to my full power."
"Frieza, just you watch!" Krillin fired back. "Goku is going to humiliate you!"
The Z Fighters knew Goku's secretâhe was a man who thrived on breaking through impossible walls. Piccolo and Vegeta had been "insurmountable" once, too.
Back in the video, the atmosphere turned heavy with Ki. The Super Saiyan stood amidst the lightning and swirling dust, commanding Gohan to take the wounded Piccolo and flee Namek. When Frieza attempted to intercept the boy, Goku vanished, reappearing instantly to intercept the tyrant.
"Keep your hands to yourself, you trash," Goku growled, his voice vibrating with a terrifying resonance. "You, who enjoy the screams of the innocent... you dared to kill Krillin! I am truly enraged, Frieza!"
The battle erupted. The power scaling had shifted violently; the once-terrifying Frieza now looked sluggish. Every desperate strike from the tyrant was parried or ignored. Goku stood still, letting a blow land on his face only for Frieza's hand to bounce off as if hitting solid katchin.
"Do you really think you're my equal?" Frieza shrieked, pointing to himself. The response was a brutal, bone-shattering backhand that sent the "Emperor of the Universe" tumbling through the volcanic rock.
Bloody and trembling, Frieza stared up at the warrior bathed in gold. "You... who exactly are you?!"
Goku looked down with eyes of cold teal, his golden aura flickering like a sun. "You've known me for a long time, haven't you? I am a Saiyan from Earth, a man who sought only peace. But now, awakened by the fire of your sins... I am the legendary Super Saiyan, Son Goku!"
