The cosmic clash between Goku and Frieza shakes Planet Namek to its very core, but even Goku's maximum twenty-fold Kaio-ken attacks fail to permanently bring down the tyrant. In a desperate, final gamble, Goku gathers energy from across the galaxy to construct a colossal Spirit Bomb, seemingly vaporizing Frieza in a massive explosion. The joy is tragically short-lived when Frieza suddenly reappears from the rubble, gravely wounding Piccolo and brutally blowing Krillin to pieces. The horrific death of his best friend triggers an ancient, overwhelming rage inside Goku, breaking his mental barriers and transforming him into the legendary, golden-haired Super Saiyan. Filled with absolute fury, Goku completely dominates the battlefield, matching Frieza blow for blow.
