Aired on September 4, 1991
After defeating Frieza, Goku attempts to flee Namek in a spaceship, but Vegeta’s prior damage prevents escape. As the vessel is consumed by lava and the planet erupts, Goku appears to perish alongside the Capsule Corporation craft. Despite this apparent death, Bulma devises a plan to use the Namekian Dragon Balls. Once restored, these artifacts will be used to resurrect everyone, including Goku, who was lost in the catastrophic explosion.
