Summary

While on their way back to the Kame House, Krillin spots the Power Ball in the distance. He then begins to tremble, remembering Goku's Great Ape transformations. Feeling Vegeta's increase in power, Gohan becomes worried for his father and decides to go back and help him. Unable to stop him, Krillin returns as well. Back on the battlefield, Goku does his best against the transformed Vegeta. However, Vegeta is amazingly fast and agile for his size, as well as ten times stronger than he was in his previous form, and Goku begins to lose his energy. During the chase, Goku realizes that he himself was the terrible monster of the full moon that his grandfather told him about many years ago, as well as the one who actually killed him during a merciless rampage. Putting aside his feelings of guilt, Goku prepares to retaliate against Vegeta. Meanwhile, back at Kame House, Baba manages to get the battle onto her Crystal Ball.

GenkidamaPIONEER — Goku gathers energy for the Spirit Bomb

Goku prepares to create a Spirit Bomb. In order to but the time he needs to concentrate, he uses the Solar Flare technique to temporarily blind Vegeta, then flies off to a safe distance. Once safely away, Goku stretches his arms out and begins to gathering energy from everything in nature,and once enough energy is obtained, he concentrates it all into his fist. However, just before he can fire, Vegeta recovers and launches a Super Galick Blaster at Goku, catching him by surprise. Goku subsequently takes the full force of the attack and loses his energy for the Spirit Bomb.

OozaruPIONEER — Vegeta tortures Goku in his Great Ape form

Exhausted by the strain from gathering energy, Goku is unable to dodge Vegeta for long before Vegeta pins him and crushes both of his legs by stomping on them. Goku manages to retaliate by firing the last of his energy directly into Vegeta's eye, damaging it severely. Furious at the loss of half his vision, Vegeta grabs Goku in his hands and begins to squeeze him to death.

Yajirobe watches as Goku is slowly crushed. He is convinced that not helping Goku is the right thing to do, as there is little he can do. Gohan and Krillin arrive on the scene. Krillin recognizes Vegeta's Great Ape form, and rushes to the ground with Gohan. There, they stumble upon Yajirobe's hiding spot. After Yajirobe fills them in, Krillin puts together a plan to cut off Vegeta's tail, returning him to normal. As Yajirobe flees the scene, Gohan begins yelling at Vegeta to release his father.

Major events

Vegeta transforms into a Great Ape.

Changes

Blood has been removed from all characters.

Trivia

This is the only time in the manga where a character retains their consciousness and control after transforming into a Great Ape.
Due to a mistranslation, Goku apparently believes Vegeta, in his Great Ape form, to be the one responsible for destroying the Martial Arts Stadium and crushing his grandfather. This is likely because Goku was referring to the Great Ape in a generic way, and not specifically Vegeta himself, but since the Dragon Ball anime was dubbed into English at a later date, FUNimation did not know this and believed Goku was referring to Vegeta. This is corrected in the FUNimation re-dub, which was produced after they dubbed Dragon Ball.

 ==Summary==
+While on their way back to the [[Kame House]], [[Krillin]] spots the [[Power Ball]] in the distance. He then begins to tremble, remembering [[Goku]]'s [[Great Ape]] [[transformation]]s. Feeling [[Vegeta]]'s increase in power, [[Gohan]] becomes worried for his father and decides to go back and help him. Unable to stop him, Krillin returns as well. Back on the battlefield, Goku does his best against the transformed Vegeta. However, Vegeta is amazingly fast and agile for his size, as well as ten times stronger than he was in his previous form, and Goku begins to lose his energy. During the chase, Goku realizes that he himself was the terrible monster of the full moon that [[Grandpa Gohan|his grandfather]] told him about many years ago, as well as the one who actually killed him during a merciless rampage. Putting aside his feelings of guilt, Goku prepares to retaliate against Vegeta. Meanwhile, back at Kame House, [[Baba]] manages to get the battle onto her [[Crystal Ball]].
-As [[Vegeta]] finishes his [[transformation]] into a [[Great Ape]], [[Gohan]] and [[Krillin]] turn around and see the [[Power Ball|ball of light]] that Vegeta had created. They both look at each other in horror when they realize what it might be. Once Vegeta finally completes his transformation, he tries to attack [[Goku]] with a substantially better grip on things. Goku is able to dodge most of the attacks, and remembers [[Grandpa Gohan]] warning him of a giant ape monster, and then remembers how while [[Piccolo Jr. Saga#Prelude to the tournament|training at the Lookout]], [[Kami]] offered to remove his [[tail]] in exchange for restoring the [[moon]]. Goku somehow comes to the conclusion that it was Vegeta who killed [[Grandpa Gohan|his grandfather]] and destroyed the [[World Martial Arts Tournament]] stadium, and plots to use his last trick, the [[Spirit Bomb]], to destroy Vegeta once and for all and thus avenge his grandfather. Gohan tells Krillin that he has to help his father and they both fly back to the battlefield.

-Goku raises his arms for the Spirit Bomb, but is trashed by Vegeta when he tries to evade his attack. Vegeta flies head-on at Goku, but Goku jumps up right in front of Vegeta's face and uses [[Tien Shinhan]]'s [[Solar Flare]] technique to blind Vegeta for a brief period of time. He flies off to gather energy for the Spirit Bomb, leaving Vegeta in immense pain. Goku calls upon the plants, animals, and all other wildlife to donate some of their ''[[ki]]'' to him. He gathers enough ''ki'' for the Spirit Bomb, but Vegeta had already regained his vision, and was flying straight toward him. Goku raises his arm to launch the Spirit Bomb, but Vegeta launches a [[Chou Makouhou]] that connects with Goku in a matter of seconds. Goku loses hold of the Spirit Bomb, and falls to the ground.

-Vegeta approaches the fallen Goku, and raises his leg. He stomps on Goku's legs, breaking both of them. Vegeta raises his arm, and begins to drive it down toward Goku when suddenly, Goku fires a [[Ki Blast]] straight into Vegeta's eye. However, this was Goku's last bit of energy, and he is left completely helpless. An angry Vegeta [[Crushing in Hands|grabs Goku in both hands and begins to squeeze him to death]], but stops when he hears someone approaching him.

-[[Goku]] is powerless against the newly transformed [[Vegeta]]. After failing to harm the [[Great Ape]], Goku uses a [[Solar Flare]] to distract him, and begins gathering energy for a [[Spirit Bomb]], but before he can complete the attack Vegeta recovers and swats him aside. Vegeta then smashes Goku's legs and is about to jab Goku with his finger when Goku uses his last energy to put out the [[Saiyan]]'s eye with an energy beam. Furious, Vegeta begins crushing Goku in his hands. Meanwhile, [[Gohan]] and [[Krillin]] arrive on the scene, drawn by the abnormally high powers they have been detecting, and [[Yajirobe]] flees in a car. The new arrivals formulate a plan to cut off Vegeta's tail and begin to sneak up on him. Back at [[Kame House]], [[Fortuneteller Baba]] finally succeeds in tuning her crystal ball into the battle again.
