This episode begins with Raditz taunting our heroes, making Piccolo very angry. Goku on the other hand keeps his cool and seems more confident than one would think he should given the situation. After a very brief speech to his son, Gohan, Goku and Piccolo both attack Raditz at the same time. Needed to say, this does not go well and both heroes are easily out maneuvered by Raditz and take a thrashing.
After the dust settles we find out that things are worse than thought; Piccolo has lost his arm during the exchange! Meanwhile, Master Roshi and the gang discuss how they can’t trust Piccolo and that he is just as likely to betray Goku as work with him. Back on the battlefield Piccolo reveals that he has developed a new technique that he had intended to use on Goku but he needs time to charge it. Goku has to fight Raditz by himself for five minutes. Can Goku make it?
After a Rocky type moment where Goku has to take a beating he manages to fire off an attack that seemed to take Raditz by surprise. He ended up blocking it but it was more powerful than he expected. While that was going on Raditz sees that Piccolo has his technique ready and it’s so powerful he can’t block it. Realizing he has underestimated his foes, Radtiz has the special beam cannon fired at him. The smoke clears and we find out Raditz is faster than the speed of light. His shoulder his burnt but he managed to dodge Piccolo’s attack. All of that effort for nothing.
After such a close call, Raditz is angry and focuses his attention on Piccolo, ready to kill him. In his loss of focus he forgets about Goku who had one trick up his sleeve. Goku grabs Raditz’ tail, dropping him to the ground in pain. Unfortunately, Goku is way to trusting and he lets Raditz go after he said he wouldn’t actually hurt anyone. Raditz lied and attacks Goku immediately. Just as Goku is about to die, Raditz senses a huge power level. Gohan bursts out of his prison and flys into the air, to the amazement of everyone.
This episode is action packed and leaves a mystery at the end with Gohan’s new found power.
I give this episode 4 out of 4 stars.
