Synopsis
Piccolo and the others hear from Goku that a person with a "ki" surpassing Vegeta's is on Planet Namek. When Kaiō learns that this is the worst enemy, Freeza, he warns Goku not to get involved with him. Piccolo and the others then begin training right away. But their first task is a pun! Tenshinhan somehow succeeds after much effort, and Piccolo makes a pun purely by accident! Meanwhile on Planet Namek, Vegeta and Zarbon's battle has begun!

Tidbits
- Despite being credited, Son Gohan does not appear in this episode.
- The pun Yamcha recommends to Tenshinhan to make Kaiō laugh, "Hanakuso no himitsu o... sotto hanakusō!!" ("Let's softly tell them... the secret of our snot!"), is the same one Yamcha uses in Chapter 19 of the original manga[1]. Incidentally, that manga scene was never adapted in the anime version, so this is the first time that pun appears in the anime.
