While Tagoma is struggling to recuperate from Gotenks's attack, Captain Ginyu (in his frog form) pounces up to him and inscribes a message in the gravel. Tagoma accidentally sets off Ginyu's signature move, which swaps their bodies. Ginyu rapidly adjusts to his new body's immense power and assaults all of his rivals simultaneously. Bulma, Trunks, and Goten attempt to contact Whis, leaving Jaco bewildered. While combating Gohan, Ginyu appears to have the upper hand until Gohan transforms into a Super Saiyan and manages to knock him down.
