Aired on November 28, 1990

Upon Captain Ginyu's arrival, Vegeta leaves Goku behind to retrieve the Dragon Balls for his own use. Krillin and Gohan depart to obtain the Dragon Radar from Bulma, aiming to locate the Balls before Vegeta. Jeice informs Captain Ginyu of Goku's strength, but the Captain remains confident in his ability to defeat him. Goku chooses to skip his warmup and immediately power up to his full strength. While powering up, Jeice measures his power level on a scanner, becoming shocked as the reading climbs continuously. The level eventually surpasses Captain Ginyu's maximum. Disbelieving the scanner, Captain Ginyu initiates a fight with Goku.
