Ep. 121: Goku battles King Piccolo, who wounds him and destroys the kingdom while Tien intervenes.
Aired on August 3, 1988
Goku attacks King Piccolo with a Kamehameha Wave, but the enemy wounds his right knee. Goku uses his power pole to counter, though King Piccolo fires deadly beams until the weapon is lost. The resulting impact destroys the entire kingdom, with King Furry narrowly escaping death. Tien saves Goku from certain death but becomes exhausted. Goku stops King Piccolo from conjuring another explosive wave, yet the villain manages to hit Goku and create a huge crater. Goku eventually emerges from the crater using his Nimbus Cloud.
