Synopsis

The episode starts off with Yamcha training and Vegeta in a capsule training at 300x gravity, vowing to surpass Goku's strength. Elsewhere, Piccolo, Goku, and Gohan are training.

Yamcha tries Vegeta's capsule at 300x gravity, nearly getting crushed to death by the extreme gravity. The next day, Vegeta trains so hard, firing the Ki Blast inside the capsule, that it explodes.

Upon hearing the explosion, Bulma rushes out to find Vegeta severely injured. She accompanies him to a hospital, where she displays affection towards the injured Saiyan for the first time. She shows genuine concern for Vegeta and even falls asleep next to his bed. When Vegeta awakes from a nightmare, he wonders why Bulma is next to him. Vegeta resumes his training the very next day in terrible shape. The episode ends with Gohan fighting Goku and Vegeta still training.
