Ep. 50: Goku battles gravity and an asteroid while Vegeta hunts for Dragon Balls
Aired on May 30, 1990
Doubts about collecting the Dragon Balls arise as Vegeta grows stronger and Frieza remains a threat. Bulma learns from her father that Goku is traveling to Namek. Meanwhile, Goku trains on his spaceship under 20 times Earth's gravity. An asteroid strikes the vessel, directing it toward a star. Goku must exert all his strength to steer the ship back on course. Elsewhere, Vegeta no longer requires a scouter to detect energy. He quickly locates the next Dragon Ball. When he threatens an elder Namekian, another Namekian intervenes to protect the elder and is killed.
