Goku's Doll
Mr. Popo finally agrees to give Goku an opponent to train with. Meanwhile, Tien Shinhan, Krillin, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu, all are heading towards Korin Tower. On The Lookout, Goku's sparring partner turns out to be a clay version of Goku, except that his eyes are the same as Mr. Popo's. Their skills are exactly the same, the only difference is that the clay Goku has no interference in his mind and can concentrate completely on fighting. Goku has an extremely difficult time concentrating his mind. Finally, he seems to understand how the doll is disturbing the energy around him and defeats the doll.
