Episode Synopsis

Goku and Bulma arrive at a certain village, where the fifth Dragon Ball is located. Goku is mistaken for the freely shape-shifting monster Oolong, who raids the village, and is hit by a sudden attack from one of the villagers! Bulma makes a promise with the villagers that “We’ll take care of Oolong in exchange for the Six-Star Ball that’s in this village”. Goku disguises himself as one of the village girls, and the captured monster’s true identity turns out to be a piglet, of all things!! Bulma and Goku obtain the Six-Star Ball. Taking in Oolong as their ally, they continue their adventure to find the remaining Dragon Balls!!

Next Time:
“The Strong Villain of the Desert, Yamcha”

Musical Score

The background music for this episode, as with all Dragon Ball TV series background music, was composed by Shunsuke Kikuchi. Certain pieces of this music from the original Dragon Ball television series have been made available on two home format releases:

  • The Ongakushū (“Music Collection”), originally released on vinyl 21 April 1986 (CX-7272), and re-released on CD under the budget-priced ANIMEX 1200 series 25 September 2003.
  • The five-disc Daizenshū collection released on 01 April 1994, with the second disc specifically containing music from the original Dragon Ball television series.

The table below outlines all of the musical pieces used during this episode, and which (if any) CD releases contain said music. Most Dragon Ball background music collections compile multiple pieces of music into a single track; as such, individual pieces tend to not have their own unique titles, but rather exclusively have catalog numbers. The CD listings below indicate which disc (if applicable), which specific track, and which individual piece within that track’s suite of music is that scene’s corresponding background music.
