The Ginyu Force's first appearance

The chapter begins with Frieza excitedly awaiting the Ginyu Force's imminent arrival. In a race against time, Vegeta, Krillin, and Gohan fly back to the chasm where Bulma is waiting, take the Dragon Ball there, and fly off. Bulma is confused as to why Kuririn and Gohan are now working with Vegeta.

At Frieza's Spaceship, the Ginyu Force finally land and present themselves to Freeza with a set of absurd poses. Freeza is visibly discomfited by this display, but decides to quickly get down to business. He orders the Ginyu Force to get the Dragon Ball and capture Vegeta alive, while killing the others. Captain Ginyu tells Frieza that their scouters have already found Vegeta, and Jeice gives Frieza a box of new scouters that he had requested. With their orders set, the Ginyu Force fly off to pursue Vegeta, who immediately notes their speed.

In space, Goku is awakened by the onboard computer, which announces that twenty minutes remain until arrival on Namek. He gets dressed, and mentally prepares himself for the upcoming battle. He does not feel afraid at all, much to his own confusion. Meanwhile, Vegeta, Gohan, and Kuririn almost make it back to the rest of the Dragon Balls in time, but the Ginyu Force arrives a split second before them, much to their dismay.
