Summary
Frieza charges a Death Wave
Captain Ginyu blows his cover while inside Bulma's body, and frantically attacks Krillin, but to no avail. In a last ditch effort to survive and rejoin Frieza, Ginyu prepares to perform his Body Change technique on Piccolo, but Gohan throws Bulma, who is in the Namekian Frog's body, in the beam's path, switching Bulma to her original body and Ginyu to the body of the Namekian Frog again. As Bulma celebrates, an attack from Frieza blows her away, and she lands safely elsewhere.
Goku continues to battle Frieza with no success whatsoever, being pummeled around by the tyrant. Finally, Frieza throws Goku into a lake and stops him from resurfacing until Goku finally loses consciousness from lack of oxygen. However, a vision of a destroyed Earth and the deaths of all of his friends at Frieza's hands snaps him awake, and in his rage, he explodes out of the water. Declaring that he will not let Frieza win, Goku furiously powers up another Kaio-ken 20x attack and topples Frieza. He follows this up with a Kaio-ken Kamehameha which hits Frieza directly, but Frieza survives the blast, albeit with a singed palm.
