Aired on May 9, 1990
Frieza and his subordinates attempt to coerce the Namekian village elder into surrendering the Dragon Ball by slaughtering the majority of the residents. Unable to tolerate the continued murder of the innocent Namekians, Gohan prepares to intervene and rescue them. However, three additional Namekians arrive before he can act. These newcomers possess sufficient strength to defeat Frieza's weaker henchmen, prompting the tyrant to deploy one of his most capable fighters, Dodoria, to handle the new threat.
