カリン塔
Karin Tou

Story

Taopaipai pulls the pillar from the ground and prepares to leave, and then Upa picks up a rock and throws it at him for killing Father and Big Brother. But Taopaipai just blows it back and it hits Upa in the face, and he tells the crying kid to be glad he's not dead. Then he tosses the pillar, and flies off, leaving Upa alone at the base of Karin Tower.

At Red Ribbon Headquarters, Red's impressed with Taopaipai's work. But then he and Black notice that the radar/map is showing Taopaipai leaving the Karin Holy Land with only three Dragon Balls, and the fourth is still there (the fifth one is at RRHQ), and Red's none too thrilled. Meanwhile, Taopaipai is in a small town, and he shows a tailor a cute drawing of his old outfit, and wants him to make one with the same design. The tailor says it'll take a week, and Taopaipai "convinces" him to make it three days. Then Taopaipai uses the phone to call Red Ribbon Headquarters, and tells Red he'll be back there in three days. He took care of the Son Gokuu brat, and wants his money. But Red chews him out for only getting three Dragon Balls, and then he looks in the bag and notices. Red thinks it shouldn't be much trouble going back and getting it if the brat is dead, and then tells Black it was a good thing hiring Taopaipai.

Upa has buried his father, and then he takes the shovel and starts to bury Gokuu-san, but then...Gokuu wakes up! (Yay!) He has a hole in his shirt right where the kame logo was, and the Fourstarball falls out from it. Apparently that's where the Dodonpa hit, and Gokuu says Grandpa helped him. Then Gokuu sees Bora's grave, and takes a serious look at his Dragon Ball.

GOKUU: Okay!!! I'll gather all the Dragon Balls to return your daddy back to life!!
UPA: Huh!? Can you do such a thing!?
GOKUU: I sure can!! Shenlong will grant you any wish!!
UPA: But... That guy has your bag that was holding all the Dragon Balls, Gokuu-san.
GOKUU: Is that so... Damn him...

But then Gokuu says Taopaipai'll have to come back for the Fourstarball, and gets pissed at how his technique was useless against him. Then Upa tells Gokuu-san he can surely climb Karin Tower, and Gokuu remembers about how strong you can get at the top. Gokuu stares up at it, and thinks about how it's too easy with Kintoun, and he has to use his own power. Gokuu decides to go for it, and Upa wishes him well. He put the Fourstarball in a pouch at his side, and tells Upa to hide if things get dangerous.

"Hang tough!!" says Upa. Gokuu jumps up really high to get things started, and quickly makes his way up, and eventually Upa says he can't see him anymore. Gokuu keeps going, and still can't see the top even after passing through the clouds. He almost falls down, but his tail saves him. ^_^ Eventually, night passes, and he's still not there. He's hungry, so he's going really slow now. "And then the next morning came..." He slowly keeps climbing, and he spots something. A little more climbing, and, "I did it!!!! It's the top!!!!"
