Ep. 132: Goku struggles with ki control while four warriors unite to halt a renewed volcanic eruption threatening a village.
Aired on November 2, 1988Filler

Goku remains unable to harness his ki despite ongoing training with Mr. Popo. Meanwhile, Tien, Krillin, Yamcha, and Chaozu attempt individually to stop lava flowing toward a defenseless village. Although the threat appears to have passed, the volcano erupts again with greater power. The four warriors then collaborate to successfully avert the magma permanently. As they continue their training, the group prepares for the upcoming Martial Arts Tournament, which is scheduled to take place in three years. This sequence highlights the contrast between Goku’s internal struggle and the collective efforts of his peers to protect the village from natural disaster.
