Ep. 64: Mercenary Tao's Final Stand Against Goku and Korin's Tricks
Aired on May 27, 1987
While climbing the tower, Mercenary Tao exhausts himself, leaving Goku to relax with Upa. Bulma’s dragon radar suffers from jamming that also affects Commander Red. Upon reaching the summit, Tao meets Korin, who tricks him into believing sacred water boosted his strength and provides a dark cloud for transport. Korin then causes Tao to fall. In the ensuing battle, Tao defeats Goku, who endures the hits to analyze his opponent's techniques. Tao feigns surrender and throws a napalm grenade, but Goku kicks it back. The explosion kills Tao. Meanwhile, Bulma repairs the radar, which also enhances Goku's device, enabling him to proceed against the Red Ribbon Army headquarters.
