Ep. 53: Goku struggles to defeat the seven-star dragon while trying to save Pan from inside him.
Aired on July 16, 1997
The seven-star dragon wreaks havoc on the city, prompting Pan to telepathically beg Goku for help. Reluctantly transforming into a Super Saiyan 4, Goku attempts to destroy the beast with a Kamehameha wave, intending to kill both the dragon and Pan. However, he fails to unleash full power, leaving the dragon alive. The creature retaliates, knocking Goku unconscious and taunting him by revealing Pan. Goku manages to pull Pan halfway out of the dragon's body. Once Pan is freed, the dragon reverts to his normal form, allowing Goku to finally destroy him. The pair retrieves the seven-star ball and resumes their journey.
