Chapter 48: Red and Blue Buffs Depart, Despicable Ginyu's Continuous Swap!
Chapter 48: Red and Blue Buffs Depart, Despicable Ginyu's Continuous Swap!
Last time, we talked about how all the Namekians, except for Nail, moved to Earth. Goten discovered that Ginyu had switched bodies with his father, Goku. However, Nail was unaware of the amazing effects of the Senzu Beans Goku carried, so Goten successfully stole them from Goku. Meanwhile, Nail was defeated by Chester and Burt and was in danger when Piccolo, a member of his own race, came to his aid. But when Piccolo spoke, he called himself Son Goku? What's going on...?
Goten, having obtained the Senzu Bean, returned to Vegeta's side, took out the Senzu Bean, and stuffed it directly into Vegeta's mouth. After Vegeta recovered, Goten immediately said, "Vegeta, go support Nail, I'll deal with Ginyu."
Vegeta was instantly displeased upon hearing this: "Why should I listen to you? You go support that green guy, I'll take care of Ginyu."
When Ginyu Goku appeared in front of Vegeta, Vegeta was stunned for three seconds before reacting and yelling at Ginyu Goku, "Ginyu! You actually swapped bodies with Kakarot! Perfect, now I can take care of two people who annoy me at once."
Goten then said, "That's strange, Vegeta. Shouldn't you have never met Goku? Why are you unhappy with him?"
Vegeta retorted impatiently, "Mind your own business! It's because you have the exact same face as that guy that I hate looking at you. Get lost, that green guy is waiting for you, get out of here!"
Goten had no choice but to go and support Nail, leaving Vegeta to fight against Ginyu Goku...

On the other side, Goku's Piccolo is engaged in a tug-of-war with Kise and Burt. Noticing that Goku's Piccolo has not fully recovered, the two immediately cooperated in a delaying tactic. Upon seeing this, Goku's Piccolo immediately prepared to unleash a Kamehameha to take down one of them first.
However, the two opposite him saw through Goku's thoughts and began to move rapidly around Goku's Piccolo, making it impossible for Goku to lock on. So he had to give up launching the Kamehameha and carefully observe the two's movement trajectory. With a flash of his eyes, Goku quickly swung out his right hand, grabbed the strategist, dragged him in front of him, and beat him with a series of iron fists.
Seeing Chester get beaten up, Burt immediately unleashed a series of energy blasts to interrupt Piccolo's attack. Chester seized the opportunity and kicked Piccolo away. Burt immediately followed up with a kick, sending Piccolo flying back towards Chester. The two then began kicking Piccolo back and forth in mid-air...
It wasn't until Goten arrived that he headbutted Burt, sending him flying to the ground, and caught Piccolo as he flew towards him. Only then did Goten realize that the person he caught was Piccolo, not Nail. So he asked curiously, "Uncle Piccolo, how come... or rather, how come you're only arriving now, and in this state?"
Piccolo, however, said, "I'm not Piccolo, I'm Goku. Never mind, I'll explain later. Goten, I'll leave those two to you. I'm going to get my body back now!"
Before Goten could figure it out, Goku's Piccolo flew off towards Ginyu's Goku. After a moment of mental turmoil, Goten finally decided to deal with the two red and blue buffs in front of him first.
Seeing that their opponents had switched places again, Chester and Burt could only continue to coordinate their attack. The two rushed to Goten and, with lightning speed, each took a big punch from Goten. Then, Goten flashed behind them and each received a double stab to the ears.
Immediately afterward, Goten kicked the two of them to the ground with one foot each. As soon as they got up, he rushed up behind them, pressed their heads down, and slammed them into the ground. Then he started running at high speed, dragging them along and rubbing them hard.
Only after reaching the surface of the water did Goten lift the two into the air again, immediately continuing the next ritual: head-to-head collision. The sound of Chess and Batou's heads colliding was deafening.
After ringing forty-nine times, Goten offered the next attraction – the "carousel." He grabbed the two by the head and began spinning them faster, sending a flashback through their minds (memories of the Ginyu Force began to surface: from admiring Captain Ginyu's cool poses, which led them to join the Ginyu Force, to Recoome and Groudon joining later, the five working together to fight for Frieza, but now only three remained…).
As Goten slammed the two men to the ground, they struggled to their feet with their last vestiges of consciousness. Together, they roared at Goten, "You brat! Let me show you the Ginyu Force's... final... Red and Blue Combo Ultimate MAX! Take this!" With that, one unleashed a red energy wave, the other a blue, which combined and hurtled towards Goten...
Seeing this, Goten didn't hold back either, unleashing a 20x Kaioken Kamehameha in response to the two's final, all-out attack!
The two energies collided, and Chess and Batou roared in unison, "The Ginyu Force! Invincible!"
However, their shouts were powerless to change the gap in strength. In the end, both of them were engulfed by Goten's Kamehameha. Before they died, they whispered, "I'm sorry, Ginyu... Captain..."
After dealing with the two, Goten murmured, "What a great combination, but their goal was wrong. If you have the chance next time, don't aim for invasion, or I still won't tolerate it..."
After defeating the red and blue buffs, Goten went to Nail's side, broke the last Senzu Bean in half, gave one half to Nail to help him recover, and prepared the other half for the seriously injured on the other side of the battlefield...

On Vegeta's side, the battle with Ginyu Goku ultimately ended with Vegeta emerging victorious. Although Ginyu Goku wasn't seriously injured, he still decided to immediately switch bodies...
Just as Vegeta was feeling smug, Ginyu Goku suddenly burst into laughter and shouted, "Exchange!" His Body Swap Beam instantly shot towards Vegeta...
Just as Vegeta was about to be hit, Goku's Piccolo arrived in time and blocked Ginyu's body-swapping beam, successfully returning to his own body. Ginyu looked at his green body, turned around and saw Vegeta, and prepared to switch bodies again.
Upon returning to his body, Goku immediately shouted, "Watch out! That guy's going to swap your body, Vegeta! Get out of the way!"
Ginyu hurriedly shouted, "Exchange!" and unleashed his Body Swap Beam, charging straight at Vegeta. Vegeta quickly dodged, sidestepping the attack. Frustrated by his failed Body Swap, Ginyu glared angrily at Goku, the culprit who had caused his defeat, and fired an energy blast straight at Goku...
Goku immediately unleashed the Kaioken technique, kicking away the energy blast. Then, he swiftly fired a Kamehameha, directly striking the Ginyu Piccolo. The Ginyu Piccolo was instantly knocked into the lake. Just when Goku and Vegeta thought the battle was over, a purple light shot out from the lake again, striking the unsuspecting Vegeta...
Upon seeing this, Goku glared angrily at the Ginyu version of Vegeta. Ginyu, who had successfully switched bodies at the brink of death, laughed maniacally and said with relief, "Hahaha... In the end, I succeeded! Poor Vegeta, he became a scapegoat, while his own body belongs to me, Lord Ginyu. Now... Ginyu is the strongest!"
(That despicable Ginyu, exchanging again and again, what a scoundrel! Next time, Goten vs. Ginyu (Vegeta version)!)
