Goku... Super Saiyan?
From Dragon Ball Wiki, the ''Dragon Ball'' encyclopedia
This is the 27th episode of the Namek Saga in the original dubbed Dragon Ball Z series.
[edit] Recap
Goku has reached Planet Namek and starts to get ready for the fight against Recoome. Gohan, Krillin and Vegeta have been healed by the Senzu Beans which Goku gave. Recoome asks Goku's power level and when he comes to know its only 1000 he thinks he can take Goku out although Recoome doesn't know that Goku is hiding his true power level. At the start of the fight Goku dodges each and every attack. Recoome gets angry and starts to power up. He was about to attack when he was struck by a blow from Goku right on the stomach and the fight ends and Recoome is out of the way. Jeice and Burter are impressed but not scared. Vegeta then figures out that Goku is the Legendary Super Saiyan but then there are clips in which Vegeta talks about the last Super Saiyan. He could not control his power until he was in his transformed state but then due to a loss of control over his power, he died. Goku seemed in total control over his powers. Jeice and Burter started a fight and attacked but Goku did not move. Vegeta spots footprints at different locations and is surprised that even a Saiyan's eyes did not see the movement.
[edit] Major events
- Recoome is defeated (but not killed) by Goku.
- Vegeta realizes that Goku is a Super Saiyan, and that Goku is stronger than him.
[edit] Trivia
- This is the final episode done by Ocean in the United States. However, Ocean will return for Episodes 168-276 (Android Explosion-Goku's Next Journey) in Canada, though few of the voices (Krillin, Vegeta, Yajirobe among these few) sound like they used to, and different music (that of Monster Rancher and Mega Man) is used. These episodes were originally done by FUNimation, as if the closed captions are used, they use the FUNimation dialogue, which slightly differs from the Ocean dialogue (specifically regarding words like "kill", "die", "dead", and "death", until Gotenks is born).
