Dragonball GT Episode 38 (Aired 02/19/97)

Minna no powaa de... Suupaa saiya-jin 4 fukkatsu From Everyone's Power... The Revival of Super Saiya-jin 4

Baby is at full power, and Gokuu is nearly at zero. Baby calls Gokuu's bluff, and beats him up (he shoots many fireballs from his mouth.) Baby knows Gokuu's limits now, and is having fun bashing him into the ground. Pan wants to save her father, and Satan fails to hold her back. Gokuu expects to die now, but Pan gets between him and the giant monkey. She tries to reason with Oozaru Vejiita-Baby, to try to get all of the people, and all of Earth, restored to the way they were before. To no effect. To distract Baby away from Pan, Gokuu tries to threaten the ape with Kamehame-ha again. This doesn't work and Baby gets ready to stomp on Pan. However, Baby gets smashed in the head by an energy blast. Trunks is now floating nearby, and it is clear that he's been cleansed of Baby's influence. Trunks attacks, and Vejiita-Baby counters by pointing out that Trunks is currently bashing up his own father. Trunks pauses, and gets punted away. He's caught by Gohan and Goten.

Gokuu sees Kaiou-bit, and realizes that Kaiou-bit must have used the Chou-sui or something. Goten and Trunks want to Fuse into Gotenks, but Gokuu tells them that even Gotenks' great powers aren't enough to stop Baby. Baby, meanwhile, is preparing to attack them all.

Gokuu explains that if he is brought back to full power in his current SSJ4 form, using the energy from his sons and Trunks, he can not lose. Pan agrees and also wants to donate her energy. However, Baby has been listening in, and he decides to prevent Gokuu's recovery by getting in the first blow.

[Commercial Message]

Gokuu is flown to safety, with Baby blasting away closely behind. Gokuu uses Tenshin-han's "Blinding Light" attack. Baby trips and falls into a deep pit. Trunks, Gohan and Goten get into a circle around Gokuu and try to power up. Baby recovers and tries to use Vejiita's standard energy blast on them. But, Baby is seized by stomach spasms -- Baby has a flashback to his battle with Uubu. He realizes now that Uubu had allowed himself to be eaten, and is now causing Baby a severe tummy ache. Baby fights back by trying to tighten his stomach. Uubu yells out for Gokuu to regain his full power level. Trunks, Pan, Gohan, and Goten get into a circle and donate their energy to Gokuu. Satan worries for Pan, saying that she is not a "super"-whatever. Kaiou-bit assures Satan that Pan will be fine.

Baby squeezes harder, and contracts down on Uubu. There's lots of lightning around the circle, and Gokuu is getting better quickly. Uubu gets spit out onto the ground, and Baby is about to use Vejiita's attack again. Vejiita-Baby yells out "Super Jankyuu Four", and fires away. The donators are just short of getting Gokuu to full power, and they stay in the circle until the blast hits them.

Baby is convinced that he has killed all five humans, and madly plans to take over the galaxy. The bodies of Goten, Trunks, and Gohan are scattered limply in the sand when the smoke clears. Satan rushes forward, and cries as he realizes that his granddaughter has been vaporized. Satan threatens Baby, and Gokuu tells him to calm down. The last of the smoke clears from the sky, revealing Gokuu. He is holding the unconscious Pan in his arms, and he is clearly at full power again.

Satan thanks Gokuu, and is told to get to safety. The others all recover consciousness and realize how much energy Gokuu has. Gokuu asks Baby what he'll do against him now, and Baby gets pissed. Gokuu and Vejiita-Baby both power up and blast away at each other. The ground gets chewed up some more. In the next lull, Gokuu is looking very confident.

[Note: Normally, I don't give away the next episode's title in advance like this. However, there's some speculation that DBGT will be ending soon. While there is no direct proof of this in Newtype or V-Jump magazines, the end may not be that far away.

Next week's episode title is NOT the one given in Newtype. And, the preview for next week's show has Baby, no longer a were-monkey, trying to escape planet Plant in a spaceship. The ship is being pushed into the sun by Gokuu's Kamehame-ha, while Pan is begging Gokuu to stop and not kill Vejiita.

Next week: Kore de Saigo da! Tsui ni bebii shoumetsu This is How it Ends! At Last, Baby's Extinction.
