Trivia

• There is an error with the amount of time it takes Son Goku to heal. In "Captain Ginyu... the Frog", Vegeta says it shouldn't take any more than one hour for Goku to heal completely. However, in this episode, when Krillin and Dende meet back up with Gohan, he says that Vegeta began sleeping one hour ago. But Goku is still trying to heal. If it was one hour ago, then Goku would have been fully healed and would have joined them in the fight against Frieza.
• At one point there is an animation error – in two frames at the end of the Frieza/Nail fight, the black "pants" part of Frieza's armor is purple. This was corrected in Dragon Ball Kai.
