Goku's Trap (ピッコロ大魔王超巨身術, Son Goku no Wana) is the twenty-fourth episode of the Piccolo Jr. Saga and the one hundred forty-sixth episode in the Dragon Ball series. It first aired on February 22, 1989.

SummaryEdit

As soon as Piccolo Jr. increases his size again, Goku goes down his throat to retrieve the swallowed Denshi jar, saving Kami, and beats Piccolo Jr. from the inside out before he is spit up. Goku throws the bottle to Tien Shinhan, who then frees Kami. Realizing he was tricked, Piccolo Jr. returns to his normal size.

The two take off again, and they disappear. They are so fast, that Kami even cannot see them. They take to the sky to engage in a spectacular punching match. To rebound from falling, Goku blasts his Kamehameha using his feet and knocks Piccolo Jr. toward the ground. As he falls, Piccolo shocks Goku with his Antenna Beams, knocking him to the ground.

As they continue battling, Kami jumps in to protect Goku from a punch. Goku refuses his help and says he wants to fight alone and allows Piccolo to redo the punch. After a lot of discussion, Kami finally leaves the ring to Goku. Outside the ring, Kami sees that Goku is even stronger than him and must be left alone to face Piccolo.

Piccolo Jr. blasts Goku with a Chasing Bullet, which he easily dodges. The ball continues to rebound and will not even be put off by a Reverse Kamehameha wave. Goku slyly leads it right to Piccolo Jr., who is too shocked to evade and is blasted. Piccolo Jr. is injured, bleeding, but he rips off his own injured arm, which he quickly grows back, perfectly intact. Piccolo Jr. then begins to charge his most destructive attack.
