We're going to head towards the Earth.
Depending on the situation, we may have to split up.
Wh-What was that just now?
Did that brat do that?
But that's impossible...
What are you hesitating for?
Episode 6 "Promise"
That child is an impure creature that will bring misfortune upon Heaven.
Capture him! Capture him!
Y-Yes, sir!
Come here!
Goku...
Wh-What the hell is going on?
Hey, Konzen!
The diadem... The diadem that was on his head...
That was his power limiter.
So you're saying this is Goku's true form?
He's not a human or a demon. Much less a god.
Called the symbol of chaos, there is a being of legend
said to have power equal to that of Heaven...
Seiten Taisei.
Where are you going? Protect me!
S-Stay away! Stay away from me, you monster!
That's enough! I can't stand watching this anymore!
No one wants this!
Especially not you!
If you still want to go berserk, then play with me for a bit, Goku.
Well, looks like you're all having fun.
Kanzeon Bosatsu...
Don't.
You guys won't be able to handle that little shrimp.
Goku's...
Is there a way to restore his power limiter?
Restore it?
We just need to exterminate him.
Bring it, you little shrimp. Let's get this over with.
Stop—
Well, aren't you a lively one?
Don't take this personally.
You've got the nerve to hit me?
You've got some balls, Konzen Douji.
Don't regret this.
Will you be able to remain that little shrimp's sun?
It's so shiny...
No. I'm not his sun.
If anything...
If anything, the sun is...
Yeah, I won't.
You fool! As long as you're protecting that child, you'll be seen as a traitor!
And for those who dare to defy Heaven, the sentence is death!
Perish before you even have a chance to regret your actions, Konzen Douji!
You heard him.
What do you think, wise Field Marshal Tenpou?
I can't really say. I'm a fool, as well, so I don't really understand.
Tenpou, Kenren...
I guess if we're all idiots, we might as well all dance.
What the hell?
Never heard that one.
It's a famous saying down on Earth.
Konzen, can you run while holding Goku?
Don't mock me.
Kill them!
Don't let any of them walk out of here alive!
Stop this! Halt!
General Kenren! Field Marshal Tenpou!
The Dragon King of the Western Sea!
Goujun-sama!
Field Marshal Tenpou...
I do apologize for using such a cliché evildoer tactic.
Now then, would you kindly get out of the way?
Goku.
Goku!
Konzen Douji.
Why would someone of your standing go against the military?
No particular reason.
I just decided that I didn't like what was going on and left it at that.
Then let me ask you this. What can you possibly do?
Heaven's army will use everything they have to subjugate you four.
All because you wanted to protect this child.
What could a sheltered man like you with no experience in battle possibly do?
Your demise awaits you.
That may be.
But we can't go back now, nor would I want to.
Konzen!
Back then...
You were the first one to reach out your hand, weren't you, Goku?
You're such a nuisance, honestly...
Now I'm never going to be able
to let go of that hand, no matter what.
Konzen...
Now then...
Our enemies aren't attacking thanks to our hostage,
but it's just a matter of time.
Yeah.
Goku...
Are you sure you should be up?
Goku, what's wrong?
Ten-chan, Ken-nii...
You're not going to disappear, right?
You're not going to disappear from right in front of me like Nataku did, right?
I'll stay with you guys forever.
I love you guys, so...
So...
You'll stay with me forever, too, right?
All right, Goku. Let me see your pinky.
My pinky?
What? You don't know?
Just like this.
This is called a pinky swear.
It proves we're making a real promise.
Pinky swear...
It's all right, Goku. We'll always be by your side.
We're going to head towards the Earth.
Depending on how things go, we may have to split up.
But even if that happens, the next time we meet,
let it be beneath the cherry blossoms on Earth, no matter what.
I'm not telling you to capture them. Kill them!
Leave no stone unturned! Eliminate the roots of impurity from Heaven!
Wh-What the hell are those things?
Judging from the equipment in the room, I assume they were made here
in order to create Prince Nataku.
So these are the failed experiments that came before him, huh?
I'll keep them busy.
All right.
Don't take this personally.
Kenren!
Ken-niichan!
Get out of here!
Or something.
I'll see you later.
Indeed... See you later.
Okay, please come down.
Damn it. I can't find them.
That's impossible!
I've done my job in leading you this far, so there's just one thing left for me to do.
Field Marshal Tenpou!
One of the traitors is here! Capture him! No, kill him!
After him! Don't let him get away!
Ten-chan—
Konzen...
No...
I don't want this.
Ten-chan and Ken-niichan are...
And that's exactly why.
You're smoking at a time like this?
It's because I'm in a situation like this
that it tastes even better, Dragon King Goujun.
We actually let you go and you still came down here?
Do you like me that much?
I ask that you surrender.
It's not too late to spare your life...
You came to finish me off, didn't you?
If you just keep standing there, I'm going to kill you first.
Come at me.
Or...
Are you actually going to let this end without a conclusion?
You're the Dragon King, aren't you?
As usual, you're terrible at provocation.
Well, aren't you lucky? I'm out of bullets.
It appears so.
Why are you laughing?
Because I decided to.
Goujun!
Kenren! Come with me!
Oh, sorry...
I'm not very fond of heights.
If my feet aren't touching the ground,
I don't feel like I'm alive.
That's rather troublesome.
For real.
Yeah...
You want to live, too, huh?
If you're starving, eat something.
If you're in pain, go wild.
If you're hurting, go ahead and scream.
That's...
what it means to be alive.
Don't you dare leave a single bone!
Live! Live and survive!
No matter where that place may be,
no matter what form you may take...
Bloom and bloom...
Until the day you fall, full of pride.
See ya later.
Man, I could really go for a smoke right now.
But I only have a few left, so I'll have to buy more later.
Oh, right... I forgot to eat the instant ramen that I stocked up on.
The light in the bathroom is out... and I wonder how far I got in that book.
Oh, my glasses... I could've sworn I bought a spare pair quite some time ago,
but I haven't seem them for a while.
Well, I'm sure they'll turn up sooner or later.
Probably when he comes to clean my room as usual.
Now then...
I should get going.
Sorry to keep you waiting...
Yes, I'm fine.
Yes, my glasses were broken.
Oh dear... I wonder if I dropped it.
I'm sorry, but may I borrow your lighter?
Huh? Oh, I was just thinking...
how delicious this cigarette was.
There's only one route from Heaven that leads down to Earth.
And that's through the dimensional gate that the army uses
on the bottom floor of the Tentei's palace grounds.
It was Kenren and Tenpou that cleared a path for us this far...
What can I possibly do for you?
There are only two lookouts.
I'm sure they're so sparse because of Tenpou.
It's no use after all.
Goku...
Let's stop this.
If you apologize, they might forgive you, right?
If we can't all go together, I...
Listen, Goku.
Don't give up. If you believe in Kenren and Tenpou,
you need to make sure to not give up on them or yourself. No matter what.
I've made up my mind
never to look away again.
We made a promise, didn't we?
That I wouldn't be ashamed of how I appear in your eyes.
Yeah.
So heavy!
This is...
It's the dimensional gate that connects Heaven and Earth!
Konzen!
How unfortunate. You were almost there.
Konzen!
Child, what did they call you? Seiten Taisei?
A legendary being that's neither human nor demon...
If I had your body, Nataku could be reborn an even more invincible war god.
Survive...
Status report, sir!
We've received word from the palacement laboratory and the eastern block of basement level 30
that the mission to vanquish the traitors, Field Marshal Tenpou and General Kenren,
has been completed successfully.
Huh? Ken-niichan and Ten-chan...
What happened to them?
This is called a pinky swear. It proves we're making a real promise.
It's all right, Goku. We'll always be by your side.
That's not true...
The next time we meet,
let it be beneath the cherry blossoms on Earth, no matter what.
It's all lies!
What?!
Earth is just beyond that light.
Konzen!
I'll be fine. More importantly, look...
The door's open!
Earth is right in front of you...
Goku, can you run?
Yeah!
I know...
that there's no guarantee of hope beyond the light we're heading towards.
It may end up hurting you instead...
But even so, I will do everything I can to get you there!
Don't you dare mock me, you little rats!
The door's closing?!
Let this be a lesson to you!
Your hopes were all for naught!
No!
Konzen, hurry!
Don't give up!
Goku!
Aren't they the same cherry blossoms?
They live a different life.
I see.
I would love to see them.
Konzen!
Hurry up and go, Goku!
Konzen!
Open up, damn it!
Go, Goku...
No!
Go...
No!
Goku!
You reached out your hand to me first, didn't you?
Konzen?
Next time, I'll...
I'll reach out to you...
I'll reach out to you, no matter what...
Yeah, you really are...
You really are like the sun...
Will you someday be able to reach
the promised place where the light shines?
Goku...
A few days later,
the eternal cherry blossoms around the palace that were supposed to bloom forever
all fell to the ground.
It's as though they were following them.
Just how long do you plan on staying there?
He was right there.
Right in front of the dimensional gate to Earth,
unmoving from the spot where he was separated from Konzen when he died.
Huddled and still, just as if he were stone...
If you had a normal body, you would've died from starvation already.
Is that what you want, Goku?
You are not Seiten Taisei. You're Goku, one who sees what others cannot.
That's the name that Konzen gave you.
I'm sure you understand how you made it here still alive.
Are you planning on letting it all go to waste, Goku?!
Konzen, Kenren, and Tenpou...
All of their hopes that they entrusted to you!
We've put you through so much pain.
Let me speak for my nephew, Konzen, and his close friends, Kenren and Tenpou...
They were happy to meet you.
Five hundred years of loneliness.
That was the punishment imposed on that little shrimp,
and there was an order to erase all of his memories of Heaven.
But there was just one memory that wouldn't go away...
And this is just my ego speaking,
but I think it's the name he was given.
Now those five hundred years have passed, and Nataku has disappeared.
Something is starting to happen.
We should get going.
Yeah.
A storm...
is brewing.
