• Selari supported Talot’s plan, and Gine agreed to travel to Earth.
• Talot secretly planned to prevent Gine and Selari from disrupting Kakarot’s life or Earth’s development.

After six months of travel, Talot, Gine, and Selari arrived at Earth and sensed the planet’s inhabitants while trying to locate Kakarot. They decided to visit Earth’s strongest fighters, leaving Kakarot’s whereabouts unknown.

• Talot, Gine, and Selari arrived at Earth after six months of interstellar travel, and Talot reflected on their gains in strength.
• Gine asked where Kakarot had landed, and Talot said their ship could not pinpoint his location.

• Talot identified Earth’s strongest signatures as Kami Piccolo and Popo, while Gine and Selari estimated their Battle Power at around two or three hundred.
• Talot suggested visiting Earth’s strongest fighters, and Gine agreed, hoping they might know where Kakarot was.

Talot, Gine, and Selari arrived at Kami's Lookout, where Kami Piccolo and Popo sensed their overwhelming power and feared Earth might be in danger. After landing, Talot noticed the lighter gravity and began considering how to explain Kami Piccolo's Namekian identity and the Dragon Balls to his companions.

• Kami Piccolo let the three Saiyans leave the Lookout and declined Popo's offer to follow them.
• Kami Piccolo watched the group depart and kept secret that he had found Kakarot and the spaceship at Mount Paozu.

Talot, Gine, and Selari explored Earth, changed into local clothes, and traveled through its cities. They reached West City, where Talot recalled Capsule Corporation and considered seeking out Bulma and Brief to help build advanced equipment.

• Talot, Gine, and Selari flew from Kami's Lookout to a nearby human city and explored its streets.
• Talot exchanged gold, silver, and jewelry for Earth's currency, then bought casual clothes for the three of them.
• Talot, Gine, and Selari traveled across Earth for a day, and Gine relaxed as she marveled at its prosperous civilization.
• The three arrived in West City, where Talot remembered Capsule Corporation and thought about asking Bulma and Brief to help create a Dragon Ball Radar, a Gravity Training Room, and improved Spaceships.
• Talot calculated that Bulma was probably five years old and considered how he could pursue his plans while explaining them to Gine and Selari.

Talot, Gine, and Selari visited Capsule Corp to ask Dr. Brief to make something for Talot. They met Tights and Bulma, and Selari clashed with Bulma after the little girl tried to take Talot off to play.

• Talot told Gine and Selari he wanted Dr. Brief to make something for him, and Tights invited them into her house.
• Bulma ran into Talot, and Tights apologized before bringing the visitors inside to wait for Dr. Brief.
• Bulma came downstairs holding a Dragon Ball, and Talot examined it before returning it to her.
• Bulma asked Talot to play with her, but Selari pulled her away and argued with her.
• Talot stopped Selari from escalating the argument, apologized to Bulma on her behalf, and gave Bulma her Dragon Ball back.

Talot explained that the Dragon Balls could summon Shenron and grant wishes, prompting Bulma to become interested in finding the others. Selari hoped they could restore Planet Vegeta, while Talot proposed using a wish to save Bardock, Raditz, and the others.

• Gine and Selari asked Talot about the Dragon Ball Bulma was holding, and he explained that Namekians created seven Dragon Balls that could summon Shenron.
• Talot deflected Gine’s questions about how he knew so much, while recalling a possible wish Bardock had made on Cyril Star.
• Bulma asked whether gathering the Dragon Balls could make wishes come true, and Selari wondered if they could restore Planet Vegeta.
• Talot suggested wishing to save Bardock, Raditz, and the others, giving Gine and Selari new hope.
• Talot hinted that a device could locate the Dragon Balls, and Bulma hurried upstairs with the Two-Star Dragon Ball to study it.

Talot asked Dr. Brief to build a Gravity Training Room adjustable up to one hundred times Earth's gravity, and Dr. Brief agreed to study the design. Talot left with Gine and Selari, promising to return and giving Brief a blue crystal.

• Dr. Brief and Tights met Talot, Gine, and Selari, and Talot asked Dr. Brief to create a room with adjustable gravity for training.
• Talot demonstrated his strength by lifting a heavy tea table and told Dr. Brief that he and his companions could endure several dozen times Earth's gravity.
• Dr. Brief said he needed ten days to half a month to study the project, and Talot agreed to wait and procure any materials needed.
• Talot declined Dr. Brief's dinner invitation and gave him a blue crystal as a gift before leaving with Gine and Selari.
• Dr. Brief and Tights watched in surprise as Talot, Gine, and Selari flew away.

Bulma missed Talot before she could tell him about her Dragon Ball Radar idea, while Talot, Gine, and Selari flew to Korin Tower to seek Kami’s help finding the Dragon Balls. They met Korin at the tower’s summit, where Gine asked what distinguished a sage from Kami.

• Bulma learned Talot had already left and wanted to tell him she could build a device to locate the Dragon Balls.
• Talot explained that he had left the Dragon Ball with Bulma and planned to ask Kami to help find the others.
• Selari questioned whether Kami had truly searched for Kakarot, and Talot urged Gine and Selari not to treat Kami as an enemy.
• Talot, Gine, and Selari found Korin Tower and flew to its summit.
• Korin welcomed the three visitors, and Talot helped him answer Gine’s question about the difference between a sage and Kami.

Talot, Gine, and Selari visited Korin Tower, where Korin gave them Senzu Beans and showed them his stores. The chapter ended with Selari being sucked into a mysterious jar after opening its lid.

• Selari got hungry, so Korin offered the group Senzu Beans.
• Talot, Gine, and Selari ate the beans and discovered that they restored strength and relieved hunger.
• Korin explained that Senzu Beans could also heal injuries and offered Talot a jar of about five hundred beans.
• Korin led Talot, Gine, and Selari to the storage area and asked them to bring him fish if they returned for more beans.
• Selari opened a large jar, was pulled inside by its suction, and startled Talot and Gine.

Talot remembered Korin’s Super Divine Water and decided to wait until he had built up more strength before using it. After returning to Kami’s Lookout, he asked Kami Piccolo to help locate the Dragon Balls, but Kami Piccolo refused, leaving Talot’s group to rely on technology.

• Selari fell through a passage in Korin’s jar but returned safely, and Korin explained how the jar connected to places across the Mortal Realm.
• Talot recalled that the Super Divine Water could unlock potential and decided to use it only after he had accumulated more strength through training.
• Talot, Gine, and Selari thanked Korin and flew to Kami’s Lookout with a jar of Senzu Beans.
• Talot told Kami Piccolo that he knew Namekians could create Dragon Balls and asked for help gathering Earth’s scattered set.
• Kami Piccolo said he could not locate the Dragon Balls, so Talot decided they would rely on technology while Gine and Selari lost confidence in Kami Piccolo.

After spending ten days training and settling in at Kami's Lookout, Talot, Gine, and Selari left to seek a place to live. Kami Piccolo worried that the Saiyans would search for the Dragon Balls, while Talot's group celebrated their improved strength and continued their journey.

• Talot trained at Kami's Lookout and exchanged Ki Cultivation advice with Kami Piccolo and Popo, while Kami Piccolo kept searching for Kakarot.
• Talot found Kakarot's aura near Son Gohan but kept the discovery from Gine and Selari.
• Talot, Gine, and Selari said farewell to Kami Piccolo and Popo and left Kami's Lookout in their spaceship.

• Talot said his Battle Power had reached 2,800, while Gine's was 1,380 and Selari's was 1,170.

Talot brought his spaceship to Capsule Corp and asked Dr. Brief to help build a larger, more advanced vessel, while Bulma showed off her early Dragon Ball signal receiver. The spaceship project remained uncertain, and Bulma’s prototype still had a very limited range.

• Talot learned that Tights had left Earth with Jaco three days earlier to explore the universe and pursue her dream of becoming a science-fiction writer.
• Talot asked Dr. Brief to study his spaceship and help build a bigger, more complete one, reassuring Gine and Selari that it would not need to be dismantled.
• Talot and Dr. Brief discussed spaceship technology and the possibility of adding a gravity device during construction.
• Bulma showed Talot a signal receiver that detected a Dragon Ball and displayed its signal, surprising Gine and Selari with her invention.
• Bulma estimated that her receiver could detect signals across an area about the size of a hundred homes, so Talot realized it needed much more development.

Talot reached 3,500 battle power after half a month of weighted training, then learned that Brief had completed the first Gravity Device. Talot returned to Brief’s laboratory to test it, leaving the group ready to discover how much gravity the device could produce.

• Talot destroyed a rock mountain during training and measured his battle power at 3,500 points.
• Talot reflected on his progress and compared his strength with Vegeta’s.
• Brief contacted Talot and said he had finished the first Gravity Device, but warned that they still needed to test its limits.
• Talot flew to Brief’s laboratory, where he joined Gine, Selari, and Brief in the large training room.
• Brief questioned whether Talot should conduct the gravity test, and Talot agreed to try as long as the device did not jump directly to one hundred times Earth’s gravity.

Talot tested Brief’s Gravity Device while wearing a five-hundred-kilogram Weighted Suit, steadily raising the gravity to see how much strain he could endure. At thirty times Earth’s gravity, he struggled to move but managed to steady himself, leaving the test ongoing.

• Brief explained the Gravity Device’s controls to Talot while Gine and Selari watched from the main control room.
• Talot raised the gravity to 10G and found that, despite the added pressure of his Weighted Suit, it barely affected him.
• Talot increased the setting to 20G and exercised, discovering that the gravity noticeably restricted his movements and made him sweat.
• Talot raised the gravity to 30G, where his breathing grew heavy, his movements slowed, and his legs trembled.
• Talot adapted enough to steady himself and concluded that thirty times gravity was difficult mainly because he was training in his five-hundred-kilogram suit.

Talot pushed himself through 30x, 40x, and 50x gravity to test his limits and strengthen his foundation. After recovering with a Senzu Bean, he reassured Gine and Selari that becoming stronger quickly would help them face future threats.

• Brief mistook Talot's struggle at 30x gravity for his limit, but Talot insisted he could continue and removed his 1,000-jin Weighted Suit.
• Talot moved briefly under 30x gravity, then slowly adapted to 40x gravity as Brief, Gine, and Selari watched in alarm.
• Talot raised the gravity to 50x and endured it, concluding that he could not adapt to that level quickly.
• Talot shut off the gravity device after reaching his limit, then ate a Senzu Bean to recover.
• Gine warned Talot not to be so reckless, and Talot reassured her and Selari that they needed to grow stronger to face threats.

Brief developed a stable Gravity Training Room and a spatial-storage capsule, while Talot collected Cosmic Ore for his research. Talot began gravity training with Gine and Selari, raising the room to twenty times normal gravity.

• Brief asked Talot to collect Cosmic Ore for a spaceship, and Talot agreed to keep testing ways to increase the Gravity Device's limit.
• Talot traveled alone into space and used Brief's new spatial-storage capsule to gather more ore than Brief had requested.
• Talot returned the ore to Brief, who completed stability tests that allowed the Gravity Device to run continuously for ten days.
• Talot invited Gine and Selari to join his gravity training, and they began at ten times Earth's gravity.
• Talot raised the gravity to twenty times normal, which Gine and Selari could still endure.
