SummaryEdit

Goku and Korin go to the roof of the Korin Tower to get up to Kami's Lookout. Korin gives Goku a special bell so he can meet Kami. Only a person with the special bell can meet Kami. Goku extends the Power Pole from the very top of Korin Tower and proceeds to reach the temple above.

At Kame House, Launch is helping Tien Shinhan with his bandages. The reporters have found Kame House and are storming it, looking for Goku. Oolong transforms into Goku for the schmoozing of the reporters. He is so perverted that he spoils his own disguise. As Goku continues to rise, he runs into a thunderstorm and is struck by lightning.

Piccolo Jr. runs into a family celebrating the birthday of their little boy, Tai. Piccolo Jr. becomes angry at the sight of them and throws a rock through their window. While they are distracted, he enters their house and approaches them from behind. He ransacks their house and runs off into the woods. He blasts the dog that the family sics on him, thereby discovering some of his power.

Back on the power pole, Goku finally emerges from the clouds and arrives at the temple. Once there, he must battle Mr. Popo in order to obtain an audience with Kami. The placid Mr. Popo proves to be a lot stronger than he appears. He is able to hit Goku even while he is running too fast to be seen. Mr. Popo taunts Goku, enraging him and making him lose his focus. He knocks Goku down as a figure, presumably Kami, watches. Goku tries a Kamehameha wave, but Mr. Popo eats it. Goku uses the Penetrate! attack, the technique he used to beat King Piccolo, but Mr. Popo easily dodges it. Mr. Popo informs Goku that he lacks in the focus department and that he will never get to see Kami.

TriviaEdit

A couple and their son celebrate the son's birthday. The boy's father shares a near identical appearance to Penny's Father from the movie Dragon Ball: Curse of the Blood Rubies.
