DBZK Episode 47

Summary

Goku becomes a Super Saiyan for the first time.

At the beginning of the episode, Gohan, Krillin, and Piccolo are distracting Frieza while Goku finishes charging the Spirit Bomb. Just as Frieza prepares to destroy Namek, Goku launches the Spirit Bomb at him. Frieza attempts to stop the Spirit Bomb, however, it overwhelms and seemingly destroys him.

After the Spirit Bomb explodes, Piccolo and Goku surface on an island, shortly joined by Krillin and Gohan. The group decides to leave for Earth when Krillin notices something. Frieza is still alive, although very badly bruised and missing part of his tail. He shoots an attack at Goku, but Piccolo dives and takes the attack, badly injuring himself. Goku then commands Gohan and Krillin to find Bulma and escape in his ship. In response to this, Frieza attacks and kills Krillin, threatning to do the same with Gohan.

The death of Goku's best friend pushes Goku over the edge, causing his first transformation into a Super Saiyan. Again Goku commands Gohan to take Piccolo, get Bulma and escape in his ship, which he runs off to do. Goku then glares at a terrified Frieza.
