Dragon Ball Z Episode 18: The End of Snake Way




We open on Goku’s ship he arrived in as a child.  The ship is playing a recording telling Kakarot (Goku’s real name) to destroy all life forms.  Piccolo is training Gohan, trying to make him stronger than anyone else with his brutal training.  Goku is still training on Snake Way.  Gohan has a nightmare of his Dad fighting Raditz and wakes up in a panic.  He looks up and sees the full moon.  He doesn’t turn into a giant ape but he does go wild when he overhears Goku’s ship telling him to destroy all life forms.

Piccolo finds that both the moon and Gohan’s tail have someone come back. That is the least of Piccolo’s problems at this point, because Gohan transforms into a giant ape!  Piccolo attempts to destroy the moon again but comes to find out it’s not real.  This moon is a projection.  His blast goes right through it.  Elsewhere, Master Roshi and Bulma talk about how they managed to gather all of the Dragon Balls with time to spare and how the moon isn’t putting out any moonlight.

Piccolo launches an attack at ape Gohan but it doesn’t have any effect.  Gohan grabs and squeezes Piccolo, smashing him into the ground.  Piccolo finds Goku’s ship, which is where the moon projection is coming from, and destroys it with his special beam cannon.  Gohan returns to normal and is asleep like nothing happened.  Piccolo pulls his tail off to avoid this situation from happening again.

Goku finally comes to the end of Snake Way.  That was a LONG journey!  At first he can’t figure out where to go, as there seems to be nothing at the end of Snake Way.  The he sees a very small planet in the sky.  After jumping to the planet he discovers that the gravity is extremely high and he can barely stand.  Goku runs into an ape and mistakes him for King Kai.  After having “King Kai” throw him some fruit and some goofiness the real King Kai shows up.  Now the real training should begin…
