Ep. 5: Gohan’s Moonlit Transformation and the Group’s Training Summons
Aired on May 3, 2009

5
Gohan undergoes survival training alone on a mountain, where viewing the full moon triggers his transformation into a Great Ape. Piccolo intervenes by destroying the moon to prevent further transformations for all Saiyans and removes Gohan’s tail before departing for his own training. Simultaneously, Bulma repairs a scouter while Yajirobe delivers a summons to Krillin. The message instructs Krillin, along with Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu, to report to Kami’s Lookout for training. This sequence establishes the immediate aftermath of Gohan’s uncontrolled power surge and sets the stage for the remaining Z Fighters to gather and prepare for upcoming challenges under the guidance of their allies.
