However, Goku, who has always lived in the mountains, mistakes Bulma for a sorceress. As Goku is surprised at the interior lighting and television, Bulma remarks that he's a hick!

Summary
Prologue
As the sub sets, Bulma and Goku ride her motorcycle across a vaguely Chinese landscape. Goku's stomach rumbles in hunger and Bulma suggests that they camp for the night.
Part A
Goku asks if they will be camping out for the night, but Bulma responds that she is too delicate for that sort of thing. Instead, she pulls out her capsules and selects the largest capsule in her case, a "Capsule 1" house. She tosses it only a nearby flat spot and invites Goku in. Goku at first is apprehensive, even accuses Bulma of witchcraft, but he trusts her again quickly. He is impressed by the artificial lighting. As he moves warily around the house, Bulma teases him by turning on the TV to see his reaction. The scene settles on a soap opera and Bulma begins to drool over the romantic lead before Goku snatches away the remote and changes it to a kaiju film.
Bulma tells Goku that he must take a bath before dinner, but Goku has no idea what that means. Bulma proceeds to bathe him-- completely stumped by Goku's lack of modesty-- before realizing that his tail really is attached. Goku uses it to scrub his own back and Bulma screams. Goku is puzzled and believes that all boys have tails. Bulma considers that she's never seen a naked boy's butt before, but then Goku recalls that his grandfather didn't have a tail as well.
Bulma settles in for her bath before realizing that Goku is standing in the bathroom watching her. He offers to help wash her, but Bulma is incensed that he would violate her privacy. Goku notices and asks her about her breasts, but she replies that he is too young to be interested in such things. Goku claims that he is not young and that he's actually 14.[note 1] Bulma suddenly re-evaluates that they saw each other naked and tosses him out of the room, calling him a pervert and threatening to call the cops. She is, after all, only 16.
Part B
