As Namek gets closer to its explosion, it looks like Goku can beat Frieza with ease, as Goku has finally stopped holding back and since Frieza is getting weaker from the strain of his 100% full power state. Finally, Goku decides to leave, stating that Frieza has already lost to a fighter superior to him, but the tyrant won't give up that easily. He fires a pink energy disc that scars Goku's face, and as soon as Goku turns into a Super Saiyan again, Frieza controls the disc to chase him.
