King Piccolo is enraged by Cymbal's death and commands Tambourine to locate the murderer rather than eliminate his next target, Yamcha. Before this intervention, Tambourine had set his sights on Giran and Yamcha. Meanwhile, Goku explains the properties of the dragon balls to Yajirobe and requests one. Master Roshi also acquires a dragon ball. Goku plans to utilize the collected dragon balls to resurrect Krillin.
