Gohan, now a Super Saiyan, repeatedly tries to challenge the Androids but they are too strong. He begins training Trunks, who is eager to defend the Earth.

Just as the training is finished, a huge explosion hits the city. Gohan pretends to agree to allow Trunks to join him in the battle, then knocks him unconscious and goes alone. After a long battle, the Androids kill Gohan. Trunks awakens and hurries to the city to find Gohan's body laying face down in a puddle of water. His rage at the death of his best friend triggers his transformation into a Super Saiyan.
