Trivia

• In the original footage, the seat of Recoome's pants had been blown off, exposing his buttocks. In the edited version of the show, Saban had drawn black over the buttocks to censor it, yet, for some reason, still kept a small amount of skin, directly above the buttocks, exposed.

"On Earth, Chi-Chi is overcome with worry for Gohan, and she launches the spacecraft that Dr. Brief had been working on. However, the ship crashes before she can escape Earth's gravity. Back on Namek, Gohan continues his struggle against Recoome, and Captain Ginyu delivers the complete set of Dragon Balls to Frieza. Frieza attempts to wish for immortality, but when nothing happens, he realizes that there must be a secret procedure involved in the Dragon Balls' usage. He locates Dende and Guru using a scouter and heads for their location so he can extract the secret of the Dragon Balls from them. On the battlefield, Recoome is about to finish off Gohan, Krillin and Vegeta when Goku's ship lands nearby. Goku promptly arrives on the battlefield and restores Gohan's strength with a Senzu Bean while Burter, Jeice and Recoome try to make sense of the new arrival." cannot be used as a page name in this wiki.
