Summary

Prologue

Having left Bulma and the others behind, Goku takes Kinto'un to go train with the Turtle Hermit at Kame House. On the way, he passes over the area where he lives, realizing that he has never seen it from the sky before. He decides to stop at his house to get a futon and some other things. As he puts his things on Kinto'un, he realizes he is hungry, but he decides to ask the old man for some food.

Part A

Yamcha's aircraft takes a dive into a forest, clipping both wings on trees before crashing into another tree. Yamcha and Oolong hang from one tree, and Pu'er from another. Bulma hangs from a rope over the burning wreckage. Oolong thinks they were lucky to have bailed out so quickly, and Yamcha agrees. Bulma begs for help as the flames lick her heels, but Oolong points out she can just jump down, so she looks down and realizes he is right. She jumps down and hurts her injured leg, so Yamcha goes to help her up. Bulma is upset that their plane was destroyed, and Yamcha explains they had exceeded the weight capacity. Pu'er asks what they should do now, and Yamcha says there is nothing they can do; they do not have any more Hoi-Poi capsules.

Kuririn is introduced early in the anime.

Suddenly, the jungle around them seems very scary; Oolong encourages them to get out of there, and Bulma agrees. A giant pteranodon flies overhead, and everyone screams. Just then, a human voice screams nearby, and Yamcha hears it. Bulma tells Yamcha that does not matter and grabs him, dragging him out of the jungle. Oolong and Pu'er run after them. The human voice belongs to a strange young boy who is running through the jungle and felling trees as training.

Goku speeds through the jungle on Kinto'un, over rivers and through mountains until he finally reaches the ocean. He spots Kame House and lands, calling out to the old man to let him know he has arrived. There is no answer at the door, so he sets down his things and looks around. He looks in the window and sees the Turtle Hermit watching an aerobics video, so he climbs in and yells to get his attention. The old man still ignores him, so Goku approaches his side, takes a deep breath, and yells in the old man's ear as loudly as he can. This rattles him, and Goku laughs. Muten Rōshi recognizes him, and Goku informs him that he has come to train. The old man tells him to wait a bit, turning his attention back to the aerobics video, but Goku complains that he is hungry, so the old man points him toward the kitchen, telling him he can help himself to whatever is in the refrigerator.

Goku finds the refrigerator and he is surprised to find that it is cold inside. While his new master drools over the aerobics video, Goku destroys everything inside the refrigerator. When the aerobics video is finished, the Turtle Hermit stands up and walks into the kitchen, finding Goku overstuffed from having eaten everything including the butter. He scolds Goku for eating a week's worth of groceries and asks him why he is there. Goku tells him he is done hunting for the Dragon Balls and now he is ready to train, like they agreed. He brought his own futon and everything.

The Turtle Hermit looks around, and then asks Goku whether he brought that "puff-puff" girl with him, but Goku says she went back to her house in the city. The old man is disappointed to hear this. Meanwhile, Bulma treks through the desert with Yamcha and the others. Oolong asks if they are there yet, and Bulma thinks that they should be by now. Oolong asks what direction the city is supposed to be in, and Bulma tells him it should be directly north. Yamcha looks at the sun and realizes something is wrong. He tells Pu'er to transform into a compass. He checks it, and realizes they are walking south. Oolong cannot believe they are going in the wrong direction, and Bulma wonders where they got off. Everyone deflates. Yamcha is thirsty; Oolong is hungry; Bulma's leg hurts. Yamcha replaces the dressing on her leg, worried that it might get infected, and Bulma thanks him. Yamcha blushes, and Oolong is disgusted with them again. Then he notices what looks like a sandstorm in the distance, but it is only the strange boy who was in the jungle earlier. Now he is running through the desert, vowing to get stronger.

Goku hops on Kinto'un to find a pichi-pichi gal for the Turtle Hermit.

Back at Kame House, the Turtle Hermit tells Goku that his training is very strict, but Goku does not mind; he wants to surpass even him. The old man thinks this is funny, and Goku laughs with him, but then he tells Goku that his training is not free. He needs to bring a pichi-pichi gal before he gets training. Goku asks what a bitchy bitchy gag is, so the old man corrects him, telling him a pichi-pichi gal is a cute, lively young woman. Goku is confused, but he will do whatever it takes to get the training he came for, so he agrees. He hops on Kinto'un, and the old man stops him to make sure he knows what a pichi-pichi gal is, and Goku thinks it is a "guy with no winkie and lots of spunk". The old man says that is almost right, but they have to have more than lots of energy. Not too young; not too old. Has to be cute, and voluptuous (むっちり mutchiri) is even better. Goku is confused, and asks him to explain this mutchiri thing again. The Turtle Hermit realizes he is going to have to teach Goku common knowledge. Goku says it does not matter; he will bring one of those back. The old man asks what happened to his tail; Goku tells him he does not know; it went off somewhere. Then he takes off, leaving the Turtle Hermit to muse on how strange he is.
