Abo and Kado pursue Tarble and Gure to Earth using Attack Balls, where Trunks and Goten are unleashed on the two. After struggles from both sides, Abo and Kado merge into Aka, prompting Trunks and Goten to fuse into Gotenks and incite another battle. When Aka begins to demonstrate a significantly devastating power, Goku and Vegeta prepare to destroy him, however, a trick Goku plays on Vegeta results in Goku successfully being the one to vanquish Aka.
After their confrontation, Abo and Kado join the Dragon Team and their friends at Mr. Satan's ruined banquet, where they are seen eating Chi-Chi's radishes.
