Gokuu lands lightly on his feet, and Hatchan lands heavily on Gokuu ("Son Gokuu, are you dead?") White Shogun gives Gokuu a chance to surrender the Dragon Balls, and Dragon Radar, but Gokuu refuses. So White says that he'll watch them die via video monitor. Hatchan is concerned that Gokuu has a Dragon Ball, and asks if his new friend is going to do something bad with it ala Red Ribbon. Gokuu reassures him, as the wall raises to reveal the invincible monster -- Gomu.
Hatchan is frightened, White and Gokuu are happy, and the monster attacks. Gokuu can't understand why his attacks have no effect, but neither side is really winning. In desperation, Gokuu tries Kamehame-ha, which also fails. White offers Gokuu one last chance to give up the Dragon Ball and Radar, but Gokuu declines. Then Gomu tries eating Hatchan. Gokuu saves his friend, but things are looking grim when Gokuu suddenly remembers what the girl had said after she'd rescued him from the freezing cold (about being like a block of ice.) The boy calmly walks over to the wall, punches a hole, asks if Hatchan can feel the cold (he can't,) then jumps inside the zombie's coat to watch Gomu freeze up. Gokuu leaps out of the jacket just long enough to punch Gomu, and then runs back, suffering from frostbite. With Gomu out of the action, Gokuu uses his bo to lift himself and Hatchan to the top floor.
Gokuu evades White's bullets, and demands the return of the village headmaster. White would rather fight, and is sure that he'll win, but a light kick to his shin drops him to his knees. He pulls a "Huh, what's that?" on the boy, who falls for the gag and gets punched. White gets punched back, and finds his gun with the powered bullets. He hides the gun in his pocket and surrenders. After revealing the headmaster to be in a cell on the top floor, White pulls the gun out and uses the old man as a hostage. The old man says "I'm old, forget about me, save the village." Gokuu asks the man if he really means it, and he has to backtrack to prevent himself from being killed after all. White tells Gokuu to turn around, and then shoots him in the back of the head. Hatchan tells White to stop doing this bad thing, and takes a bullet in the leg while trying to protect his friend. The bullet turns the monster into a real monster. White runs out of bullets, and is punched into the next county. Gokuu is ok, (Hatchan asks again if he's dead,) and the three head off to Jingle Village.
In the house, the family talks about the adventures, and the village's debt to the 2 heros. The mother wants to know if the Ball had been found, and after a moment's hesitation, Hatchan pulls it from his pocket. He had found it while wandering around outside, and had refused to hand it over to White, to protect the village. This sends the headmaster into a flurry, and he asks Hatchan to become a member of the village. This is hard for the monster to believe, but he does accept the offer. Then, they all get ready to go to sleep, and Gokuu marvels over getting another Ball, although this one isn't the one with his grandfather's spirit, either. The girl wants Gokuu to stay too, but he has to be off again. But, as he tries to find the next Ball, he discovers that the Dragon Radar had been damaged in the fighting. Hatchan volunteers to look at the Radar, because he's good at these things, but it's too complex for him. And, since Gokuu can't stay, the girl promises to give him lots of bento boxes (box lunches.) They go to sleep, and Hatchan is in bliss, since he's sleeping on a futon bed for the first time.
The next morning, as the village elders are trying to figure out how Gokuu is going to make the travel on foot, they discover that he'd once owned Kintoen. Further, they already know about the racing cloud, and that it can not be destroyed. So, Gokuu to told to try calling his friend, and sure enough, Kintoen does arrive once more (Gokuu is very happy.) So, he's off, with people cheering behind him. Eventually, the weather gets warmer, and he eats his way through the bentos.
Some time later, Gokuu arrives in Buruma's hometown, and isn't very happy about what he finds. The place is big and noisy, and no one knows where "this Buruma" lives. He tries taking a taxi, but doesn't have an address or this stuff called "money." The money part is solved when he finds a he-man boxer who offers 100,000 zenii (note, the symbol for a zenii is a backwards '$') to anyone that can beat him. This is just like the Tenkaichi-budoukai, and Gokuu accepts the offer. The kempou master doesn't take the runt seriously, but finally gets angry enough to fight back. That's when Gokuu smashes the wall and gives the guy a chance to surrender (he does.) On the streets, 2 thieves try to rob the boy (using a "hey kid, come over here," routine.) They want to take his money without helping him find Buruma first, so he trashes one of them. That's when the other suggests that Gokuu try asking a policeman for help.
