Back on Earth the others gather to where they feel the energy will be landing. As Gohan fly’s towed the scene Krillin catches up alongside Gohan. Krillin tells Gohan he knows Freeza’s vibe anywhere. They then flashback to when Freeza killed Krillin and a few seconds when we see Krillin’s body expand are edited out…
