Ep. 30: Goku Tracks Stolen Radar to Pilaf While a Military Force Seeks a Dragon Ball
Aired on September 17, 1986Filler
After Goku stops for a swim, he discovers his dragon radar has been stolen. Following the thief's scent, he learns the device was sold to an antique salesman in a nearby town. Goku finds the shop and detects a signal, revealing Emperor Pilaf and Mai holding a four-star ball they just purchased. They escape in their ship, but Goku pursues them on the Nimbus Cloud. Meanwhile, a mysterious military force arrives at the store seeking a Dragon Ball. The salesman provides a four-star ball, which they identify as a fake. Pilaf’s ball is also a fake, though Goku is unaware. The signal originated from a six-star ball in a nest above the shop, which a bird subsequently flies away with in its talons.
