Full Plot Summary

Captain Ginyu prepares his revenge by switching with Piccolo, but Gohan is able to throw Bulma (as a frog) in the way to get her body back. Meanwhile, Goku is being beaten up by Frieza with his power increase and tossed into the Namekian sea. But as he is held by the monster's power and loses his consciousness in an early stage of drowning, he has a vision showing what Frieza could do to Earth. Rocked and inspired by the vision, Goku angrily powers up with the 20x Kaio-ken, overpowers Frieza, and fires his Super Kamehameha. It seems that Goku has finally destroyed Frieza, and the universe is finally rid of him for good. In the end, the 20x Kaio-ken attack with a Kamehameha fails to kill Frieza, as it turns out that both of their attacks cancelled each other out.
