Aired on November 1, 1989
Piccolo and Krillin attempt to fight Nappa but find him far too powerful. Tien uses his maximum strength to launch an attack aimed at avenging his fallen companion. However, the assault fails to halt Nappa’s rampage. Believing he has failed to stop the enemy, Tien succumbs to his injuries and dies. The Saiyan remains undefeated against their combined efforts, leaving the group in a dire situation as their strongest offensive proves ineffective against the overwhelming strength of their opponent.
