Ep. 20: King Kai orders Goku to hit Gregory with a hammer before sharing Saiyan history.
Aired on September 20, 1989
Following the completion of the initial phase of his specialized martial arts regimen, King Kai directs Goku to strike Gregory using a hammer. This task proves difficult, requiring a lengthy pursuit before Goku can succeed. During this interval, King Kai recounts the history of the Saiyan race, which motivates Goku to continue his efforts. Eventually, he manages to hit Gregory with the hammer, impressing King Kai enough to agree to train him personally. The narrative questions whether this new level of preparation will be sufficient to defend Earth against the impending Saiyan invasion.
