DB Episode 129
From Dragon Ball Encyclopedia, the ''Dragon Ball'' wiki
Summary
Son Goku is fighting against Mr. Popo. After Goku loses once again. Mr. Popo sends Goku back in time to train more. Kuririn, Tenshinhan, Yamucha, and Chaozu are training by hauling boulders. Tenshinhan is upset by the thought that he will never beat Goku again. In the past, Goku meets the young Muten Roshi and his rival, the young Crane Hermit. Goku battles Roshi's master, Mutaito, and learns about the concept of spirit energy. Goku learns from Mutaito how to harness his spirit energy. Back in the present, Tien contemplates visiting Karin Tower in order to train as Goku once had. During an incident where the Crane Hermit kidnaps Fanfan, Roshi's love interest, Goku gets angry and manages to use his spirit energy successfully. After that though, he cannot reproduce the energy.
Trivia
- Fanfan resembles Violet.
- It is implied that Roshi did not become perverted until well into his older years. This is certainly contradicted in this episode by his efforts to peep on Fanfan while she is bathing. This creates a bit of a plothole, as it would make it impossible for him to have ridden the Kinto Un that Karin gave him as a teenager.
- Another plothole is regarding how Mutaito defeated Goku when he failed to defeat King Piccolo (though it is worth noting that later, in "Pendulum Room Peril", Mr. Popo implies that the people encountered in the past are not real, but merely illusions).
- Crane Hermit's cronies of choice resemble the Bullies of the Orin Temple.
