Ep. 26: Nappa destroys the world while Vegeta waits for Goku to arrive
Aired on November 8, 1989
With Tien absent, Piccolo, Krillin, and Gohan remain to face the Saiyans, anxiously awaiting Goku's arrival. They inform Vegeta that Goku is significantly stronger than any of them, sparking the Saiyan Prince's desire for a more challenging battle due to his boredom with the weaker Earthlings. Vegeta grants Nappa three hours to wait for Goku. Rather than idle, Nappa flies globally, destroying everything in his path to pass the time. Goku eventually lands on Earth but remains distant from the conflict. Once the three-hour deadline expires, Vegeta orders Nappa to resume the assault against the remaining defenders.
