Dragon Ball Season 1 quotes

Piccolo

I don't believe it. He flew right through me. How could he defeat me like that? So... I underestimated his strength. He's won for now, but my legacy on this planet will survive. [barfs one last egg] Good luck, my son. Get revenge for my demise. Destroy all of my enemies. [dies]

Yamcha

No way! You mean he was really that powerful out there?

Tien

It's true. Even I'm no match for him anymore. As far as I can tell, he must be the most powerful guy in history

[to Goku] It's a shame that you have such great power yet you make such poor use of it. You need to learn control. Only then will you be able to past this test and meet with Kami.

With this punch, you'll give up!

Oh, got you again. You're not very strong. Please, are you actually the same guy who defeated Piccolo?

I am strong! So you take that back!

You're...weak.

Tien

Goku, our last fight against Piccolo showed I was nothing compared to you. But if a kid can reach such powers, think of what a trained master can do. At the next World Martial Arts tournament, I will surpass you!

I can't believe it! That hurt even more than Piccolo's punches!

Yes. You beat him and so you assumed you were the toughest in the world. But learn this now: no matter how strong you are, there will always be someone stronger who comes along. To stay on top, you must keep pushing past what you think is strength.

My brain hurts when I think too much.

We thought you'd been destroyed, Mr. Dragon!

Kami saw that Goku's purpose was noble and so he chose to resurrect me.

Where is Goku?

Kami has chosen Goku for an important task. He is now training at the Lookout. You will see him again at the next tournament.

You must be like a stone.

A stone?

Calm and still, so the rain and wind cannot move you. You see?

Oh, that's easy! How's this? [pretends to be a stone]

Stones do not have voices!

Ow! You're making my head bumpy!

Nor do they feel pain.

Krillin

Can't you see we're desperate? You're the only one here who can give us guidance.

Alright. There is one thing I can tell you. You boys will never be a match for Goku unless you change your routine!

I did it! I mastered my mind training and defeated the doll!

Not exactly. It was just good timing, the doll's energy ran out.

I was wrong, Popo. We're not the same. He's much stronger than me.

Listen to me, Goku. It is as I told you before dear boy, your speed and skill are matched evenly with the doll. It's just that you haven't finished your mind training.

Mind training...

A warrior's strength is always important in a battle, but it's not enough. The mind is also a powerful weapon and must be developed just like your muscles. If you do not master your mind training, you will never be able to defeat the doll!

Master, did you remember to bring my uniform along?

No, young man. Your old uniform no longer suits you, both in size and stature. You've all surpassed my lessons. What you wear, is your own. It's up to you now.

Funny, I remember you being a lot taller.

And you used to be much shorter!

Bulma, your lips are bleeding.

That's lipstick, you idiot! Oh...it really is Goku!
