"Last Stop on Serpent Road! Are you Kaiō-sama?" is the eighteenth episode of the Japanese animated television series Dragon Ball Z.

Synopsis
In the middle of the night, during Gohan and Piccolo's training, Gohan becomes suddenly wild and hostile towards Piccolo. Even more unexpectedly, the full moon reappears, despite Piccolo having destroyed it half a year earlier. And when Gohan's tail grows back, he once again transforms into an Ōzaru, putting Piccolo's life in danger. Piccolo eventually deduces that the island they are on is also home to the spaceship in which Goku arrived, and it is still transmitting attack orders and projecting a simulation of the full moon. Piccolo redirects his attacks from the "moon" to the spaceship, and once it is destroyed, Gohan returns to normal. Meanwhile, Goku reaches the end of the Serpent Road and discovers Kaiō’s planet.
Notes
Piccolo's attack to subdue Gohan prior to Gohan's Ōzaru transformation is a clear homage to Jackie Chun's Bankoku-Bikkuri-Shō attack used against Goku in Dragon Ball Chapter 50 and Dragon Ball Episode 27.
