Synopsis
After Goku succeeds in catching Bubbles, Kaiō gives him the training task of hitting his own errand boy, Gregory, with a giant hammer. Kaiō then tells him the history of the Saiyans: The Saiyans were cave-dwelling savages who wiped out the technologically advanced Tsufruians on Planet Vegeta. After connecting with other powerful aliens to travel through space and subjugate other planets, the God of Planet Vegeta summoned meteors to wipe them all out, reducing the race to only four people, including Goku. Goku's anger at his people motivates him to continue his training with Gregory and, after two weeks, Goku succeeds in hitting him. Meanwhile, Kuririn and the others finish their training at the temple.
