Gohan and Amin won’t let Goku turn off the furnace for the simple reason that spirits wouldn’t have access to their afterlife especially evil spirits. Instead of helping Goku, Amin resorts to fighting him. Amin formulates a plan after seeing Goku has the Bansho fan. Luckily Chi Chi has both vital requirements on her. With aid of the Bansho fan and Amin lifting the pot, Goku descends into the furnace and manages to seal the hole, barely making it out alive. The flames at the castle have died down and the Ox King has survived and kept the wedding dress intact. Goku and Chi Chi proceed with their wedding and get married.

Baba warns Goku that the fan won’t work and he must go to the Magical Furnace in the Dark World and meet Tajoro. Goku and Chi Chi journey and enter the Dark World. They jump over a large gap on the road and get chased by bats. As Goku and Chi Chi go further things become more dangerous, but they discover all the dangers are imaginary and proceed. The Ox King gets trapped at the peak of the castle. Goku meets Gohan at the furnace, who tells him Tajoro is actually called Amin. Goku wants to put out the furnace which Gohan and Amin object to.

Goku and Chi Chi reach the mountain, but as they get close, a blizzard starts up. They meet an old woman named Octagon. She tells the mountain is disrupted by the presence of females but knows nothing about the Bansho fan. Goku goes to the mountain to gather snow while Pilaf, Shu and Mai are searching after the fan. The mountain starts up another blizzard. The cold weather prevents Pilaf from firing missiles and flamethrowers on Goku. Hearing from Goku that the mountain is provoked by women, Pilaf pushes Mai away. While Goku gathers snow and scares Pilaf, Chi Chi cleans up Octagon’s house, but smashes many of her dishes. Chi Chi comes across the Bansho fan as she sweeps the yard, while Goku’s snow is melting. Shu takes the fan but blows away his companions and flees. Before Goku and Chi Chi leave, Octagon gives them a jar of honey. The Ox King is getting desperate as they successfully return. Goku waves the fan, but the flames persist.

The people of Frying Pan are unable to extinguish the flames consuming the castle. Goku and Chi Chi seek the Turtle’s help to make another Bansho fan. Goku and Chi Chi travel south to get one of the materials. In the volcano, Goku calms down an inhabiting beast. Mai and Shu are after the Fire Eater as well. Chi Chi finds a large egg being warmed by a scientist who explains what became of the Fire Eaters. Pilaf, Mai and Shu burst in, but they flee when Goku smashers their drill vehicle. A surviving Fire Eater comes out of the crater and hatches the egg. After Goku and Chi Chi escape with the scientist, they are disappointed to come empty handed (Chi Chi has kept an egg fragment). The scientist tells them where they can find the Bansho fan.

Everyone started heading home after the tournament. Goku and Chichi headed towards chichi’s new home. Goku eats many meals (which surprises all the maids and chefs). The Ox King shows Chichi’s wedding dress which belonged to her mother. Suddenly a blast of fire envelopes the entire castle! Everyone heads out except the Ox King, who stays to retrieve the wedding dress. He becomes trapped in there and Goku and Chichi head to Baba for help.

As his friends run for cover, Goku prepares to take Piccolo’s final attack. Piccolo unleashes a giant wave of energy comparable to a nuclear explosion, leveling the entire island. As the dust settles Goku is still standing. He takes advantage of Piccolo’s weakened state after his huge energy expenditure and knocks him into the ground with a Kamehameha. Just as the count reaches nine, Piccolo lifts his head and emits an energy beam impaling Goku–but he won’t give up just yet.

As soon as Piccolo increases his size again Goku jumps down his throat to retrieve the swallowed Denshi jar, saving Kami. Realizing he was tricked, Piccolo returns to his normal size. As they continue battling, Kami jumps in to protect Goku from a punch. Goku says he wants to fight alone and allows Piccolo to redo the punch. As the battle continues, Piccolo resorts to using his ultimate attack.

Piccolo reveals to everyone that he is, in fact, the reincarnation of King Piccolo. Upon hearing this, all of the spectators rush from the arena leaving only Goku and his friends, though this works to Goku’s advantage, as he no longer has to worry about innocent bystanders getting hurt. Piccolo then concentrates his energy to turn into a giant form of himself. Even though he is considerably larger, Goku still has no problem battling him. However, he says that if Piccolo were to be any bigger he would be in trouble. Of course, Piccolo does just that and Goku uses the opportunity to enter Piccolo’s mouth and beat him from the inside, making Piccolo rethink using the technique again!

Goku turned out to be just testing Piccolo’s attacks, as he usually does. As they resume battling, Goku seems to be superior to his opponent. Getting worried, Piccolo decides to unleash a devastating attack that will wipe out everyone at the tournament. Krillin reminds Goku that even if Kami dies in the course of destroying Piccolo, they always have the dragon balls to revive him. Realizing this, Goku combats Piccolo’s blast with his most powerful Kamehameha.
