Episode Title:
The Earth Explodes?! The Deciding Kamehameha.
Episode Description:
Goku is critically injured, but Vegeta intervenes before Frieza can deliver a killing blow. When Krillin attempts to deliver Goku a Senzu Bean, Frieza attempts to blast him. Vegeta redirects the blast to Sorbet, which kills him. Afterwards, Vegeta demonstrates his own ability to transform into a Super Saiyan Blue. Frieza attempts to land a hit on Vegeta, but he fails to do so. Frieza is already exhausted from his fight with Goku. Frieza quickly finds himself completely outmatched by Vegeta. Enraged and humiliated, Frieza refuses to accept defeat. While Vegeta powers up a killing shot, Frieza instead fires an attack at the Earth and destroys it out from under them. Whis protects Goku and the others, but Vegeta and everyone else on the planet are killed. Whis suspects Frieza survived and escaped through his ability to breathe in space. As Goku laments his missed opportunity to finish off Frieza and protect the Earth, Whis offers to turn back time by a couple of minutes and allow Goku one last chance. The moment is reset to the end of Vegeta and Frieza's battle. This allows Goku just enough time to charge up a Kamehameha attack and kill Frieza in order to save the Earth. Later, the group gathers at Capsule Corporation, where Piccolo is revived with the Namekian Dragon Balls. Shaken by his helplessness against Frieza, Gohan tells Piccolo that he intends to resume his training so that he can protect his loved ones, which Piccolo is delighted to hear.
