"The Battle with Gravity! Catch Bubbles-kun" is the nineteenth episode of the Japanese animated television series Dragon Ball Z. The episode first aired in Japan on Fuji TV on 13 September 1989, receiving a ratings share of 17.1%. It was written by Hiroshi Toda and directed by Kazuhisa Takenōchi.
Synopsis
On Planet Kaiō, Goku meets the pun-loving Kaiō. Before accepting Goku as a student, Kaiō requires that Goku make him laugh with a pun of his own. Once Goku succeeds, the training begins. However, Goku can barely move due to the planet having a gravity ten times that of earth. In order to have him overcome this deficiency, Kaiō orders Goku to chase down and catch his pet monkey, Bubbles. After three weeks of attempts, Goku succeeds in catching Bubbles and conquering the gravity, leading Kaiō to wonder if Goku might be able to master the Kaiō-ken.
Notes
In a deviation from the manga, where it took Goku 40 days to catch Bubbles, the anime has Goku complete the same task in three weeks so that the remainder of that time can be used in his anime-exclusive training with Gregory in the following episode.
