DB Episode 72

Synopsis

After a long, repetitive chant ("Rise and be restored once more!") and all the smoke has cleared, a sarcophagus is revealed! Fortuneteller Baba's fighter has finally awakened from its eternal slumber. It seems the fighter Fortuneteller Baba conjured up is a mummy called Bandages the Mummy. This is the third fighter in today's match, renowned for never letting an opponent succeed him in battle. But rest assured that won't stop Goku's "nothing's impossible" attitude from beating this undefeated challenger. First up, Yamcha. Yamcha is confident that if he can keep moving his speed will prevail and the mummy wont touch him. Little does he know that Bandages the Mummy more than makes up for his weakness as he runs circles around Yamcha! Yamcha can't lay a hand on the mummy and gets hammered. Even his Wolf Fang Fist was left eating dust! When suddenly Yamcha catches Bandages off-guard, trips him and leaves him to plunge to his doom. Don't count Bandages the Mummy out just yet as he shoots the bandages that cover his body like a rope and swings back onto the platform. As the mummy resumes his unmatched assault, Goku and the gang can hardly stand to watch the gruesome battle placed before them. Especially Upa (since he feels responsible for getting Yamcha into this mess). So Upa pulls out his ax in an attempt to help but Master Roshi explains that the only person Yamcha is fighting for is himself and his pride refuses defeat. After Yamcha becomes tired, Bandages the Mummy ensnares him in his signature move: The Stretching Bridge Technique! As Yamcha struggles to keep his back from being broken in two, Puar flies off in an desperate attempt to save Yamcha by turning into a woodpecker and pecks at the invincible giant until he was set free. Now all eyes are upon Goku as he steps up to this menace to avenge Yamcha's defeat.

Trivia

• Master Roshi states that Bandages the Mummy has never been defeated, yet later on says that Baba "usually saves Spike the Devil Man for last." It is unknown why he said this, as Bandages had never been defeated before.
