Episode Synopsis

The spaceship is carried to the laboratory at Bulma’s house, and its reconstruction begins! With this spaceship, the round trip to Planet Namek will take two months. But Mister Popo, who understands Namekian, is unable to abandon God’s palace. Ultimately, the ones to go to Planet Namek are Bulma, Kuririn, and Gohan, who overcomes Chi-Chi’s opposition! On the launch day, Bulma, wearing a spacesuit, is dumbfounded to see Kuririn in ordinary clothes and Gohan looking like he’s off to Sunday school. They take off with her in a bad mood.

Next Time:
“Friends or Foes? Children of the Mysterious Giant Spaceship”
