Summary

Vegeta killing Frieza's men with a blast.

At the start we see Vegeta looking down at Frieza's ship which is surrounded by guards. Frieza isn’t there but he knows the Dragon Balls are here because of all the guards. He flies down and kills the guards but cannot find the Dragon Balls anywhere in the ship. Captain Ginyu and Jeice are flying to the ship with Captain Ginyu admiring his new body in the reflection in the water while Goku falls while flying both because he isn’t used to the bulky body of Captain Ginyu and the injury that was sustained on it.

Meanwhile Vegeta uses the opportunity to wash up and gets changed, amazed at how fast the Senzu Bean healed him.

Gohan and Krillin arrive at the ship and Vegeta spies at them from behind the ship. Gohan and Krillin use the Dragon Radar to find the Dragon Balls are buried in the ground and dig them up. They try to summon the Eternal Dragon, but when nothing happens, they remember they need a password. They feel Captain Ginyu and Jeice coming and hide behind a rock. When Captain Ginyu and Jeice arrive, Krillin thinks Captain Ginyu is Goku and comes out from behind the rock asking him if he knew the password. Gohan yelled to Krillin that it wasn’t his dad before Captain Ginyu hit him in the back of the head. They find out it isn’t Goku. Back with Goku, he tries to sense where Gohan is, but can’t sense in Captain Ginyu’s body.

Krillin asks them where Goku is and Gohan and Krillin fight Captain Ginyu with Captain Ginyu dominating. Goku finally arrives and tells Krillin and Gohan his body was taken over by Captain Ginyu and Gohan imagines life with Goku in Captain Ginyu’s body.

Captain Ginyu powering up in Goku's body.

Goku tells them they can defeat Captain Ginyu because he doesn’t know the secret of Goku’s body. Captain Ginyu laughs and starts powering up telling Jeice to read his power level. End of episode.

Trivia

• When thinking about Ginyu in Goku's body, Vegeta refers to Goku as "Goku" instead of "Kakarot" as he usually does.
