Trivia

• In the UK Dub, the Ocean dub cast takes over for episodes 123-291 (108-276).
• In Goku's flashback on the final moments of Planet Namek, He sees the Ginyu Force's ship while still in Frieza's spaceship. However, in the original airing of this moment, he had been off of Frieza's ship for a few seconds, and panicked as the planet exploded.
• This is the second time Goku steals Master Roshi's sunglasses since his fight with Tien in Dragon Ball .
• When Chi-Chi is arguing with Goku about training Gohan, Goku is wearing his blue gi from Dragon Ball (but with a white vest).
• When the group are debating over whether or not to train for the coming androids or to gather the Dragon Balls to wish for the location of Dr. Gero, Vegeta and Goku state that the Dragon Balls would take to long to locate. This is inconsistent with how long it usually takes, as they had a full 3 years before the androids would come (As a kid, Goku was able to gather them faster, and Mr. Popo is even able to gather them in less than a day in the Frieza Saga).
