![]() ![]() Goku is able to overcome Mercenary Tao, whose tricks backfire on him Korin manages to fool him with some magic and Mercenary Tao returns to finish the fight, thinking himself stronger now. Boasting, Goku tells Mercenary Tao of his strength from Korin Tower and Mercenary Tao immediately rushes up the tower to get the power for himself. He tries his trump card, the Dodon Ray, but Goku is able to block it. ![]() Tao finally gets his new robe and comes back to finish off the job, only this time it is Goku who is beating Mercenary Tao. He drinks the water and finds out that it is just tap water and the power comes from the training. Goku dove out and caught it, using his tail to keep from falling. It is on the third day that Goku gets the water, only when it fell off of Korin's staff and nearly to the ground. The next day, Goku once again fails in retrieving the water, even after getting Korin's advice. Korin's training enables Goku to become stronger He gets to the bottom and retrieves the ball, then climbs all the way back up the tower again, in much quicker time. He then throws Goku's four-star ball out of the tower and Goku jumps out after it. ![]() The two of them retire for the night and we see a Senzu Bean for the first time when Korin gives one to Goku to restore his energy. Not only that, but it took Master Roshi three years to do it. Feeling defeated, Goku is told that Master Roshi was the last one to get the water from Korin, over three hundred years ago. Goku tries to retrieve the water, but Korin is too fast for him and dodges him easily. He will give Goku the water on one condition: that Goku get it from Korin. Before Goku can explain his situation, Korin reads his mind and understands why Goku is after the water. He reaches the top after a very long climb and meets Korin, who turns out to be a short, fat, talking cat. Goku vows to use the Dragon Balls to bring Upa's father back to life and begins his ascent up the Tower. This is perfect for Goku, who needs the strength to defeat Mercenary Tao. The legend is that anyone who can climb to the top will be given sacred water that will greatly increase their power. During their talk, Goku learns of the legend of the Korin Tower. Red informs him of the missing ball and Mercenary Tao tells him he will get it back in three days (when his new robe is done).īack in the Land of Korin, Goku awakes before Upa buries him.

When Mercenary Tao arrives, Upa's father jumps in to protect Goku but is killed by Mercenary Tao with his own spear. Mercenary Tao is handed an image of his target: Goku Mercenary Tao then cuts out a piece of a column and uses it as a ride to the Land of Korin. Satisfied, Commander Red hires him to kill Goku and retrieve the Dragon Balls. It ends with Tao using his tongue to strike Blue's temple and kill him. The fight is quick, with none of Blue's attacks having any effect, even his paralyzing technique. General Blue walks in on them and seeing him Dragon Ball-less, Red makes him fight Mercenary Tao to redeem himself (and see if it is really Mercenary Tao, not some imposter). General Blue returns to Red Ribbon Army headquarters only to be executed by the notorious Mercenary TaoĪt the same time, General Blue is returning to the Red Ribbon Army Headquarters, while Commander Red is in the process of hiring Mercenary Tao. As a token of thanks, Goku is given the Four-Star ball, his Grandpa Gohan's Dragon Ball. In desperation, he abducts Upa as a ransom for the ball, but he does not count on Goku showing up.
