Dragon Ball fans are truly hardcore. Some fans express their love for the series by creating homemade animation videos complete with animated family members. Others perform elaborate raps while cosplaying as their favorite characters, as in the YouTube video “Battleful Days.” Have you ever wondered what it would be like to see Vegeta, Frieza, Piccolo, and Yamcha rap? Now’s your chance! For your ease of comprehension, we have compiled a full translation of the lyrics to the rap featured in this video. Enjoy!

“Battleful Days” was published on YouTube on September 10 of last year by R. Fujimoto, an online comedic talent who enjoys creating videos in character as Vegeta. He’s joined in “Battleful Days” by ‘friends’ Frieza, Piccolo, and Yamcha. After briefly introducing themselves at the start of the video, they go on to perform an impressive rap with great stage presence. The lyrics of the rap draw heavily from events of the series, especially during the earlier storylines. As a whole, it seems to be a tribute to the multiple failures of the four featured characters. Frieza’s strange English chorus adds to the hilarity.

(Note: Non-italicized words in the lyrics below denote lyrics originally written in English.)

Vegeta:

▼”I’ve got no need for Saiyans who can’t move”

F

“Let’s go!
The super elite Vegeta has arrived on the scene
I’ll scatter the weak underlings, I’m the strongest
I didn’t come here to save you
I’ve got no need for Saiyans who can’t move
Like Nappa who barely dodged the Kienzan (English: Destructo Disk)
Was killed by me
The punishment for the Saibaman was certain death
By one blast of my Gyarikku Hou (English: Galick Gun)
Now I think of these days of battle
Cui, who was done in by Dirty Fireworks (alt: Final Impact)
I’ll spare Dodoria, Zarbon, Guldo, Jeice
and Ginyu, who turned into a frog
I’m obsessed with beating Kakarot
who overthrew the Saiyan pride that I inherited from my father
My hot-cold personality sometimes shows sympathy
Let these feelings burst!”

Frieza [chorus]:

▼(Exactly what does he mean by this…?)

1

“I got power, I got planet,
I got DRAGON-BALL,
I miss chance, I miss ambition,
I miss SUPER-SAIYAN
Death Ball! Die! 
See? Take a look
Dodoria! Zarbon!
The beautiful fireworks”
(Vegeta butts in: “Piccolo come too, yeah?”)

Piccolo:

▼“But time passed and now I’ve become ‘Kamicolo'”

2

“Yeah, yeah!
I was born on Namek and grew up in Yunzabit
I usually get along with green guys
I split off from the earth’s Kami
I’ve walked the hidden path on this planet
First Piano, Tambourine, then I was reincarnated from an egg
I strove to be the best on Earth
I abandoned justice in the other world
I’ve really caused Mr. Popo a lot of trouble
But time passed and now I’ve become ‘Kamicolo’
The wisdom and superpower I’ve attained
At the time of Cell, I was really number one
0 1 2 3 4…Gohan!
That’s right, I took on an apprentice called Son Gohan
I’m the babysitter of the Z fighters
I even train Trunks and Goten
Today as well in the The Room of Spirit and Time (alt: Hyperbolic Time Chamber) we practiced fusion”

Frieza [chorus]:

▼(Again, someone please explain…)

3

“I got power, I got planet,
I got DRAGON-BALL,
I miss chance, I miss ambition,
I miss SUPER-SAIYAN
Death Ball! Die!
See? Take a look
Dodoria! Zarbon!
The beautiful fireworks”

Yamcha:

▼“I finally learned the Kamehameha”

4

“Leave it to me
My cool gaze and hot heart
I’m the ‘Nice Guy Yamcha’ that you’ve heard about
Don’t treat me as if I were the underdog
I finally learned the Kamehameha
but when I used it there was no real effect
If you follow the story I’ve got a history of failure
I’ve done nothing but lose at both love and battles
My left leg was broken at the martial arts tournament
The Saibaman clung onto me and blew up
I was speared by the Androids
I’m only an ex to Bulma
But my desire to get married is still strong
I just want to watch the martial arts tournament
Tonight let’s really go all out All Night
I’m the least useful”

Frieza:

▼“There’s no way that three ants could win”

5

“My power level is 530,000
There’s no way that three ants could win”

[Chorus]:
“I got power, I got planet,
I got DRAGON-BALL,
I miss chance, I miss ambition,
I miss SUPER-SAIYAN
Death Ball! Die!
See? Take a look
Dodoria! Zarbon!
The beautiful fireworks”

Vegeta:

▼“Dirty Fireworks (Final Impact)!”

6

“Dirty Fireworks (alt: Final Impact)!”
