[edit] Plot summary

[edit] Goku vs. Captain Ginyu

Continuing from where the Namek Saga left off, the well-rounded Jeice and the incredibly fast Burter attack Goku after he defeated (but not killed) Recoome. He defeats them with ease as well. Goku did what Vegeta could not and now Vegeta does what Goku could not, and kills the unconscious Burter and Recoome. Goku becomes upset with Vegeta saying that they should be shown mercy like Vegeta was, but Vegeta says that the Saiyan race is a race of warriors and that they will do anything to win. Goku lets Jeice escape and that does prove to be a mistake, because he goes off to Frieza and Captain Ginyu and brings Captain Ginyu to straighten out Goku. Ginyu and Goku begin the fight, but they are both holding back the bulk of their powers. When Ginyu makes Goku perform his Kaioken technique, Ginyu realizes that Goku is way stronger than he is, besting a power level of 120 thousand to 180 thousand, where Goku was just using bursts of 60 to 90 thousand power level attacks before. So he uses his trump card...he tricks Goku and eventually switches bodies with Goku after punching himself through the chest, using a specialized "Change" technique.

[edit] Goku(Ginyu) vs. Gohan and Krillin

Meanwhile, Krillin and Gohan go to Frieza's ship to find the Dragonballs so they can summon the Namekian Dragon. Vegeta catches up with them and hides so they can find the balls for him. But before they can, Jeice and Ginyu (in Goku's body) arrive on the scene. Not knowing about the change Krillin and Gohan come to greet him. Krillin senses that something isn't right about this "Goku" and comes to the conclusion that he is in fact an imposter. They begin to fight.

Soon Goku (in Ginyu's body) arrives and convinces Krillin and Gohan that they can defeat Captain Ginyu because he isn't used to Goku's body yet, and can only reach a power level of 23 thousand maximum, although Goku in Ginyu's body has experienced an exponential power level decrease as well, degrading to 10 thousand. In the duking it out, they almost succeed but Jeice jumps in to help. Vegeta comes out of hiding to take on Jeice. He lies about being a Super Saiyan which scares Jeice and easily kills him.

[edit] Vegeta vs. Goku(Ginyu)

After being beaten to a pulp by Vegeta, Ginyu decides to switch bodies again. Only this time with Vegeta. When he is about to make the switch Goku jumps into the beam's range at the last second and gets his body back. Ginyu tries again, the beam was close to connecting with Vegeta, but Goku throws a frog into the beams path. Before anyone knows it Ginyu is trapped inside of the body of a frog.

Unfortunately, Goku, now back in his body was hurt badly. He is put in the rejuvenation chamber by Vegeta on Frieza's ship. The gang also takes the Dragonballs. While this is happening however, Frieza has gone to see the elder Namek. He has also easily defeated the elder's bodyguard, Nail.
