Summary[]
Doma and Leena
Not bowing to the demands of the wicked Zoonama, Trunks reluctantly poses as Zoonama's "bride" in an attempt to sneak deep into the monster's lair under a volcano and free the people of the village forever. Trunks' wig falls off, and Zoonama still is interested in Trunks, thinking he is a short haired girl. Trunks then manages to drug Zoonama with spiked food at the "Wedding Banquet" the beast has arranged for them. Zoonama passes out and Doma cuts one of his whiskers off. Zoonama comes to and threatens to cause an earthquake. The troupe soon realizes Zoonama cannot cause quakes, only predict them.

He then takes the ball and disappears in his spaceship.

Trivia[]
- In this episode, Goku destroys a mountain much like Master Roshi did when first showing the Kamehameha in Dragon Ball.
- Doma's line while observing Trunks deceiving Zoonama differs between languages. In English, he praises Trunks for catching himself before Zoonama could detect anything, while in Japanese, he lambasts Trunks for portraying Leine as "undignified". Trunks referred to himself as "Leine-chan"; girls in Japan sometimes add the "chan" suffix to the end of their names as to help appeal to the opposite sex.
- This episode is based on another Japanese myth, the one about Yamata-no-Orochi: the eight-headed monster snake Yamata-no-Orochi ate 7 of the eight daughters of an old couple. The last one, Kushinada, was to be the next sacrifice. The god Susanowo made Orochi drink Sake that was strong enough to make the snake drunk and then slayed Orochi.
- Despite the fact that Pan is embarassed to see little Goku naked, she still goes swimming with him.
