Trump Card

is the 18th episode of the Frieza Saga and the ninety-second overall episode in the uncut Dragon Ball Z series. This episode first aired in Japan on May 29, 1991. Its original American airdate was October 13, 1999.
==Summary==
Goku's Kaio-ken Kamehameha does nothing more than singe Frieza's palm and leave Goku tired out. Gohan, Krillin and Piccolo notice this from afar, and in dark glee, Piccolo remembers King Kai's advice to stay away from Frieza at all costs. Elsewhere, Bulma and Captain Ginyu recover from having been blown away by Frieza's attack. Bulma then recaps on what just happened to her when Ginyu stole her body. She sees Ginyu, still in a Namekian Frog body, struggling to push off a rock that is on him. She grabs him by the tail and playfully scolds Ginyu for his treachery.
Frieza resumes his attack on Goku and dominates the worn out Saiyan completely. As Goku begins to realize that he cannot defeat Frieza, he has another vision, this time of Vegeta, who reminds Goku of his promise to defeat Frieza and avenge the Saiyans he has killed. King Vegeta and Bardock also appear, and the three implore him one last time to stand up to the tyrant. After the vision fades, Goku furiously fights back but is quickly struck back down. Frieza begins hitting Goku with Death Beams.
Meanwhile, on King Kai's Planet, King Kai, Tien Shinhan, Yamcha and Chiaotzu receive an unwelcome visit from Recoome, Burter, Jeice and Guldo.
Back on Namek Goku takes his punishment stubbornly, and eventually raises his arms to prepare a final attack, with Frieza ignorantly believes this to be a sign of surrender. Krillin, Gohan and Piccolo, however, realize Goku's intention, and see a Spirit Bomb growing in the sky.

==Differences from the manga==
*Bulma (now back in her own body) recounting recent events before finding Captain Ginyu (as a frog) is exclusive to the anime.
*In the manga, Bulma was still located in between the rock crevices and comments on the sound of Goku and Frieza's battle.
*Goku's vision of Vegeta who tells him to defeat Frieza for the pride of the Saiyans is exclusive to the anime.
*Goku's brief second wind against Frieza after using the Kaio-ken x20 is exclusive to the anime.
*The deceased members of the Ginyu Force and their appearance on King Kai's Planet is exclusive to the anime.
*Goku gathering energy from the satellite bodies of Namek is only depicted in the anime.
==Trivia==
*For the remastered edition, Bill Townsley redubbed Dylan Thompson as Guldo. Bizarrely, Mark Britten's performance as Burter was kept for this episode despite Christopher Sabat redubbing him in the succeeding two episodes and in "Ginyu Assault". Recoome is also not redubbed despite sounding remarkably different from his dim-witted and slow sounding voice from the Namek Saga, instead sounding more sophisticated and intelligent as Sabat was imitating David Kaye from the Ocean Group at the time. Jeice is also left untouched. Gregory's stunned utterance, originally done by Chris Cason, was also redubbed with John Burgmeier.
*In the Japanese version, Piccolo curses King Kai for keeping the Spirit Bomb from him. In the English dub, he muses that Goku may indeed get the last laugh after all.
*Dale Kelly's voice for Ginyu is accidentally left intact in the remastered version.
*In Cartoon Network airings, Vegeta was given pants in Goku's flashback.
