IN this episode they show the transfermation form saiyan to ape for the very first time. SO piccolo blew up the moon so that when the 2 saiyans come they wont be able to transform. Thats about all that hapened in episode 8, oh yea i almost forgot, Roshi told Chichi that Goku died and that Piccolo took Gohan.

So what is your thoughts on this episode?

Definitely not the first time. If you mean in DBZ, then yes but not in the Dragon Ball franchise as a whole.

Chi-Chi finds out that Son Gohan trains with Piccolo and that Son Goku is dead. Such bad news for Chi-Chi. In Son Gohan's survival training, Son Gohan sees the full moon for the first time in his life and he transforms into a Great Ape like his father in earlier days. Piccolo destroys the moon and rips Son Gohan's tail off to prevent these transformations.

not sure if this were intentional but when chi chi is driving through a desert it looks like the same one where goku met yamucha. if it is intentional, nice touch.
love how the turtle is weaker than gohan by a large margin (normal gohan)
the gyumao is way bigger than he probably should be, seems about as large as kame house in some shots.
it's interesting that gohan goes big ape first time the same way goku does: he was urinating one day then accidentally takes a look at the moon.
god it sucks to be the moon in dragon ball, it just constantly gets destroyed because of the saiyans' existence

And thus, the moon gets destroyed, yet again. I just like how Piccolo annihilated the moon in a whim as if its an everyday occurrence. Still, I don't fault him for doing it. There is a huge power difference between the Saiyans and the gang. Every advantage, no matter little or insignificant it seems, counts.

So Krillin holds more power than Master Roshi. Not surprising, I guess this another legitimate proof that the student surpassed the master a very long time ago. And it was nice seeing the ever so unwilling Yajirobe again. He is quite an entertaining character.

This alien technology seems fascinating - I wonder how much their power level will go up after training in the other world. Was interesting to see Yajirobe again. He's quite the character. Still no sight of Tien though, I miss that guy. Piccolo both destroyed the moon and removed Gohan's tail. Well, I certainly know who is going to be angry at this.

It was an interesting episode. Good to see Yajirobe again. And this time he will train and fight too. This is good that everyone will train and fight. I wish Master Roushi could have train and fight too. Looks like he is getting weak as the days are passing.

Finally Chi Chi got the news. That was too much for her. But Good thing is Piccolo is taking care of Gohan well. Like father like son, the moon got destroyed. His knew clothes are also cool and I like that Piccolo put his symbol instead of Kame. It will mean a lot for him in future.


I wonder where is Launch gone?

Poor Chichi finally found out the news and in the worst way possible lmao

It’s been a while since we’ve seen an ape transformation. Even Piccolo was scared about it. I’m surprised that Piccolo had the power to just manifest clothes out of thin air.
