Ep. 109: Goku battles King Piccolo while Roshi retrieves the fifth dragon ball near Pilaf's ship.
Aired on April 20, 1988
Master Roshi is close to obtaining the fifth dragon ball when Pilaf’s ship arrives near Goku and Yajirobe. Remembering King Piccolo, Yajirobe gives Goku the ball and conceals himself. King Piccolo descends to confront Goku, who uses his speed to land initial blows, but these are insufficient against King Piccolo’s powerful counterattack. King Piccolo stuns Goku. Meanwhile, Roshi secures the fifth dragon ball but accidentally drops it down a canyon. The battle continues for a long time until King Piccolo fires multiple explosive beams at Goku. When Goku’s Kamehameha attack fails to stop the assault, King Piccolo prepares to deliver the final blow to his opponent.
