Planet Bihe is the fourth stop on the Grand Tour. It first appears in Dragon Ball GT Episode 9 which debuted on Fuji TV on 24 April 1996 in Japan.

Overview

After Bon Para steals the Six-Star Ultimate Dragon Ball, Goku, Trunks, Pan, and Giru are hot on the tail of the Para Para Brothers' spaceship. Bon Para asks the ship's computer if there is anything they can do, so the computer recommends luring them to Planet Bihe where the carnivorous muma live. The Para Para brothers fly into the tunnels of the planet, and Trunks follows, thinking it is their home planet. The Para Para brothers hide in a side tunnel as Trunks and the others pass, and Bon Para asks the computer what the probability is that they will survive this planet. The computer explains that the tunnels become complicated and maze-like deep inside the planet, and therefore estimates their chances of escaping the muma at 0.00000000112%.

The Para Para brothers depart Planet Bihe, traveling to Planet Lood to deliver the Dragon Ball to Mucchi Mocchi. He informs them that they left another Dragon Ball behind, so they return to Planet Bihe. Meanwhile, the Earth gang encounters the muma; they burst out of the surrounding rocks to attack. When the Para Para brothers arrive, the Earth gang is still inside the spaceship, but they soon exit the ship to encounter the muma directly. Ki attacks do not work against them, and manual attacks do not fare much better. The Para Para brothers decide to search the spaceship for the other Dragon Ball while the others fight the muma.[1]

The Earth gang is surrounded by muma; they do their best to fend them off, but nothing seems to work. The Para Para brothers realize that the Dragon Ball is not on the ship, and seeing how the others are faring against the muma, they fear the Dragon Ball will be eaten, and they will be turned into dolls on Planet Lood. Meanwhile, Goku figures out that the best way to defeat the muma is to throw them around, and the long ones cannot defend their tails very well, so they set about tying the muma into knots to incapacitate them.

After the muma are taken care of, the Para Para brothers applaud; Pan realizes they are the ones who stole their Dragon Ball. Then the Para Para brothers demand the other one, and Pan suggests they should return the stolen one instead. The brothers prepare to fight, but it turns out that their style of fighting is a little different. They take off their vests, which double as speakers. Music starts playing, and the brothers dance. The Earth gang stares in confusion, and then Giru starts dancing against his will. Then Pan starts dancing too, and then Trunks, and finally Goku. They dance until they are exhausted and Bon Para is able to knock them around. Then the muma emerge, and the music stops. The Earth gang knocks out the Para Para brothers and ties them up, but after searching their spaceship, they realize the stolen Dragon Ball is not there. Trunks decides to ask the brothers where it is, and then the ship takes off with Pan and Giru still on it.[2] The brothers attempt to prevaricate, but Son Para accidentally admits that the spaceship took Pan and Giru to Planet Lood, so Trunks and Goku follow in their own spaceship.[3]
