On Namek... Betkas was "cheerfully" fighting Ginyu.
"Too slow!"
Betkas's leisurely voice rang out beside Ginyu. At the same time, Ginyu, who had just thrown a punch, instantly spun around. Staring at Betkas, who had appeared silently behind him, his face filled with disbelief...

"Some strength? Heh
