Summary

The episode starts out with Gohan going to Bulma's house to get a costume so that he can fight crime. Than he is sitting down at Capsule Corp. and Bulma comes in the room and says she will make a suit for Gohan. But says it will take two hours, so Gohan takes a walk around the building and comes across Trunks. The two start talking and then Vegeta walks into the room and tells Gohan that he is wasting his time and power at school. Finally the two hours are up so Gohan goes back to Bulma. Bulma tells Gohan that he can put on the costume by pressing the red button on the watch. Gohan tries it and likes the suit, while Bulma and Trunks think it is ugly. Gohan gets on the Flying Nimbus and leaves. He than decides he doesn't need the Flying Nimbus anymore, so he transforms and jumps off. He notices cars speeding way over the speed limit and decides to stop them.

Gohan lands in the middle of the road. The guys in the car stop and start yelling him asking him who he thinks he is. After a bit of thought, Gohan calls himself "The Great Saiyaman" The two guys start laughing and call it a stupid name. Gohan gets angry and starts pounding his foot on the ground, making a huge crack in the ground. Scared, they quickly recant and say that it's a cool name. Gohan goes home, where he practices changing in and out of Great Saiyaman. The next day a bus gets hijacked and Videl gets called out to rescue the people. Gohan wants to help, so he asks the teacher if he can go to the bathroom. He then runs outside and transforms and goes to the bus. Videl takes care of the hijackers when the bus goes off a cliff. Then the Great Saiyaman catches the bus and poses for the people before leaving.
