Synopsis

Vegeta and Nappa emerge from the two space pods. Nappa wipes out East City in a single blast, and he and Vegeta fly to Piccolo and Gohan's island in search of the Dragon Balls. Kuririn shows up Piccolo and Gohan's location moments before the Saiyan arrive. They face off against Vegeta and Nappa, and Piccolo learns for the first time when he is told by Nappa that he is an alien from the planet Namek. At Vegeta's order, Nappa plants some seeds in the ground, and from them six creatures called Saibaimen are born.
