Ep. 21: Goku Must Return in Two Days as Saiyans Arrive Tomorrow
Aired on September 27, 1989
With his training under King Kai finished, Master Roshi and his friends summon the Eternal Dragon to revive Goku. This resurrection is urgent because the Saiyans are set to arrive in just one day. However, a significant logistical hurdle exists: Goku requires two full days to travel back from King Kai's planet via Snake Way. This timeline creates a critical conflict between the deadline for the enemy's arrival and the time needed for Goku's safe return, placing the group in a precarious position as they attempt to prepare for the impending threat.
