"An Incident Under the Full Moon" is the two hundred and eighth chapter of the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. It was first published in Japan in the 1989 #08 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.

Summary

There is a full moon out, and Gohan is sleeping atop a mountain. Piccolo is also sleeping, while sitting cross legged, and floating in mid-air. Gohan then wakes up to take a piss, and worries about how he will eventually get down from here. Then he wonders why it is so bright out at night, and turns around and looks at the moon. This is his first time seeing a full one. And then he gets the look in his eyes like Goku used to, and begins transforming... Great Ape Gohan is too big to stand atop the mountain, and so he falls to the ground.

Piccolo freaks out as Gohan starts smashing everything around him and firing a huge mouth blast off into the distance. He thinks the Earth will be destroyed before the Saiyans even get here, and then remembers what Raditz said to Goku about full moon transformations, so he decides to take out the moon. Gohan then returns to normal, and falls asleep naked on the ground. Piccolo starts thinking about the strength of these Saiyans, and then realizes the tails are also needed for transformation.

So, Piccolo pulls the tail off, and then decides to make Gohan a sword, and an outfit just like his father's. Well, with the "demon" kanji (魔 ma) instead of "turtle" (亀 kame). In six months he will get special hell training from Piccolo. He is going to make him into one of the Demon Clan. Then he flies off and leaves Gohan to sleep peacefully, while Goku is also sleeping peacefully on the Serpent Road.
