01x08 - Gohan Goes Bananas!

[bunniefuu]

[NARRATOR]

Previously, on Dragon Ball Z!

With only one year before

two evil Saiyan warriors

descend upon the Earth,

the world's most

powerful fighters

have little time to

prepare for their arrival!

Now in Other World,

Goku has begun a

,-mile journey

down the treacherous

Snake Way in order to train

with the legendary

fighting master, King Kai.

Meanwhile, back on Earth,

Gohan's first

day of training

put him face to

face with danger!

Gohan has a

long way to go

before he can become

a hero like his father,

but even on

his first day,

glimpses of his true

power shine through!

[thud]

Wow! Apples!

Wow! These look good!

[PICCOLO] I hope you

enjoyed it, kid.

That's the one and only

time I intend to help you.

If you can't survive

on your own after this,

then it means I was

wrong about you.

And you're just a

normal little brat.

[NARRATOR] Gohan's

transformation continues today!

[animals cry]

[animal roars]

[roaring continues]

[GOHAN] Mommy?

[CHICHI] I can't believe

those two aren't back yet.

Ugh! It's way past

Gohan's bedtime

and he hasn't even called.

And then Krillin

comes over here

acting all weird

and everything...

There's something strange

going on. I just know it.

If those guys think they

can hide anything from me,

they're crazy!

I mean, what is

Goku thinking?

Doesn't he know this is

the most important time for

Gohan as far as establishing

good study habits?

Hmph!

[sighs]

Goodness... All this worrying's

going to give me wrinkles.

[snoring]

[KRILLIN sighs]

[KRILLIN thinking] Oh, man...

What am I gonna do now?

I couldn't tell 'em,

Goku... I really blew it.

I don't know where you are,

Goku, or what you're doing.

But it couldn't be

as hard as this.

I better get

out of here...

[OX KING] W-Wait!

Where are you going?

Don't you know Mommy said

we can't play there anymore?

Becky saw a snake

there the other day.

[OX KING snorts]

[snoring continues]

[thinking] Great. Now I have

to tell Bulma and Master Roshi

that I wasn't able to

break the news to ChiChi.

Oh, I hope you're having

better luck than I am, Goku.

Ahh! That's bright!

Ahhh...!

What am I gonna do?

I'm never gonna get down

and I'm still starving!

Waaah! Waaah!

Believe me.

When your stomach

rumbles loud enough,

you'll find

a way down.

[ROSHI] So, uh, how did

she take it, Krillin?

I didn't tell her.

Ehh...

No way!

Seriously?

Yep.

I can't believe

you, Krillin!

So what have you

been doing all this time?

W-Well, we started eating

dinner, and it got late,

and uh, they made me spend

the night over there.

You are going to march

right back over there

and tell them

what happened!

No! Anything

but that!

Well, I can't

blame you.

Why not?

I just did.

I know it's hard.

Tell you what...

I'll write a letter

to ChiChi instead!

Wow! I'm off the hook!

Thank goodness...

Okay, so what about

the Dragon Balls?

Like the two at Goku's?

Tell me you still managed

to pick them up, at least.

[exclaims]

I forgot!

You're such a dweeb!

[ROSHI]

Oh, boy....

ChiChi, try

to calm down.

[CHICHI grunts angrily]

Okay. You can be like

that if you want to.

But I don't think

Goku deserves it.

[CHICHI] Ha!

He kept Gohan out all night

and he didn't even call once!

But, it's been so long since

he's seen his friends.

He probably just

lost track of time,

then decided to spend the

night with Master Roshi.

Well, he should have

brought Gohan back...

Gohan is attending

school you know!

Hey, come on.

Goku's so good...

When's the last time he

got out and had some fun?

And what about Krillin?

Why wasn't he with them?

They're

hiding something

and I'm going to

find out what!

Aaaaaahhhh!

ChiChi!

Slow down!

[OX KING yells]

[BULMA yawns]

[BULMA] I haven't

pulled an all-nighter

since I got out

of college...

There, I hope

that did it.

Let's see...

[beeping]

Hm!

Hey, guys! Let's go!

I've got this thing working!

Uh, guys?

[grunts angrily]

[g*nf*re]

Listen! I have

been up all night,

and I am a little bit

irritable right now!

So... You do not want to get

on my bad side this morning.

Now, then...

Let's try this again.

Let's go, guys!

Uhh, go where?

Come on, stand up so

I can try this baby out!

This should tell us what

your Power Level is...

And it's... !

, huh? That seems

a little low to me.

No, I'm sure it's

a good rating,

considering

you're an old man.

I don't know

which hurts worse...

the lousy power rating, or the

commentary that goes with it.

[KRILLIN]

Hey! Check mine out!

I'd love to know what

my Power Level is!

[BULMA] All right,

you've got it!

! Not bad!

Oh wow! Hear that

Master Roshi?

My power level's

higher than yours!

Eh... That proves it.

The gizmo's busted!

Oh, you think?

I know a way

to find out.

All right, Turtle.

Put up your dukes!

I'm going to check the

calibration on this thing.

Power level

point .

[BULMA giggles]

Sorry, Roshi. I'd say

it's pretty accurate!

[KRILLIN]

Oh yeah!

[ROSHI]

I'll be...

Oh, cheer up. You're

still stronger than me!

[MAN]

Hello?

Hey!

I wonder who

that could be?

[MAN]

Come on! Open up!

I don't have all

day, you know.

Now what kind of visitor

could possibly be so rude?

It's me.

Huh... Oh yeah,

I remember you.

You're, uh...

What's your name?

You know I'm Yajirobe, you

near sighted cue-ball head!

I don't need

any grief.

I already had enough

trouble finding this place.

Anyway, I'm s'posed to tell

you to go to Korin Tower

for special

training.

So uh, did

Korin send you?

Hey, look at me.

I'm know-it-all Korin.

That's the guy. And he wants

you to bring Yamcha.

And Ten-somebody,

and, uh, Chow-whatever.

Oh, you mean

Tien and Chiaotzu.

Not me?

Yeah, like I said...

Get all those guys

and bring 'em

to Korin Tower...

I'm training

with you, too.

What? No way?!

Yeah, crazy, huh?

I told Korin I'm not

fightin' any stupid aliens,

and he went

through the roof!

I thought he was gonna

k*ll me. He's serious.

Well, it sounds like

we don't have a choice.

You don't or at

least I didn't.

But do what you want!

I'm outta here.

Oh, yeah,

I almost forgot...

Don't wish Goku back to

life with the Dragon Balls

until the Saiyans arrive

one year from now!

What? B-But why?

Beats me. Somethin'

about special training

in Other World or

somethin' like that.

Some lady named Baba's

supposed to come by

to tell you the rest.

You can ask her.

[air-car blasts off]

Wait! Baba's coming here?

So... Goku's doing what?

No idea...

Huh?

Hey, uh...

Look. He's coming back.

[BULMA] Hm? Uh...

I don't know.

It looks like a

different air-car to me.

[OX KING]

Ahoy, there!

[gasps]

[OX KING] Request

permission to come aboard!

Hello, my friends!

Long time no see!

Ahhh!! It's Ox!

And he's with ChiChi!

I'm outta here!

Who's with me?

No, it's better to meet

life head on, Krillin.

[OX KING] It's so good

to see you, Master Roshi.

My finest memories are still of

when you taught me as a boy!

[ROSHI]

You were a good pupil.

But, Ox, I'm glad

you're here...

There's something I need

to talk to you about...

Alright, where are they?!

I know they're

here somewhere...

And don't bother

lying, either!

I know something's going on!

So where are they?

Well, it's, uh,

it's like this...

[CHICHI and OX KING]

Huh?

[ROSHI whispering]

A long time ago...

[whispering continues]

[both exclaim]

You guys let that green

monster take my son?!

So you're saying that Goku

had to, I mean, that he's...

Yep. He's, uh, dead.

[stammering]

[thud]

[OX KING] Oh! ChiChi!

Get the smelling salts, Krillin.

[rumbling]

Hey!

Hello!

Help! Up here!

Aww. There they go...

[cries]

I'll never get

down from here...

[GOKU thinking] Man! Talk about

your long and winding roads!

This is ridiculous!

Oh, hi...

[hisses]

Hey, wait...

It's okay. I'm not

going to hurt you...

[SQUIRREL squeaks]

Here, it's okay.

You can have it...

I'm not gonna

eat any more...

[laughs]

[winces]

Ow! That's not nice...

Hey, where you going?

He makes it look easy.

But, still...

I can't.

I'm too scared...

[GOHAN]

I hate this place.

What's he doing?

And I don't even know

how I got up here...

Hey, I have

a shadow...

But the sun's not

up. It's night.

Oh, wow!

That's the biggest moon

ever! It's so bright!

It must be

a full moon!

I've never seen

that be--Uh... Uh...

Huh? What the...

[GOHAN breathes raggedly]

[grunts]

[roars]

[roars]

Huh?!

[PICCOLO]

He transformed?

This is insane!

I don't understand!

Why is this happening?

[roaring]

[PICCOLO] If I don't find

a way to stop this monster,

there won't be an

Earth left to defend!

I've got to

change him back!

Wait!

[RADITZ] Do you have any

idea what you've done?

Your true power

is gone now!

Without your tail,

you've lost your ability

to transform at

the full moon!

[PICCOLO gasps]

[PICCOLO] The moon!

They need the moon!

Aaahhh!

[PICCOLO groans]

[roars]

[breathes heavily]

So that's the secret

to the Saiyans' power.

It's that tail!

Somehow it gives

them the ability

to transform

at a full moon.

In that case, it was for

the best that I destroyed it.

If Gohan did

this much damage,

I hate to think what

the other two Saiyans

would have done

when they arrived...

Without the moon, they

won't be able to transform.

And we'll be on a more

level playing field.

In fact, we have

an advantage.

Because we know that their

tails are a weak point.

Which means right now,

that tail is only a liability.

There!

Now, I guess you'll

need some new clothes.

And a sword would help.

Now you can't say I never

gave you anything, kid.

[chuckles]

The clothes are

like your Dad's...

But the symbols show

you're from my camp.

Alright. I've already done

more for you than I intended.

I don't have time to

baby-sit you anymore.

I have my own

training to do.

But if you can survive for

six months on your own,

you'll see me again.

And that's when

you'll learn

the art of fighting

the hard way!

I'll teach you

everything...

That's right. You'll

learn to be just like me.

[NARRATOR] The countdown to

the Saiyans' arrival continues.

And the Earth's fighters

are one step closer

to being prepared.

But for son and

father alike,

a long, hard road

still lies ahead!

On the next

Dragon Ball Z!
