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.
