The Murasaki family

The Murasaki family are five ninjas who shop up to stop Son Goku from reaching the top of Muscle Tower. They each wield a different weapon. They are supposedly clones of the original Murasaki, but in reality, they are his identical brothers. They distract Goku while Murasaki 1 escapes. Goku manages to defeat all of them with punches, kicks, and the last one with a Power Pole whack to the head.
