Japanese Dragon Ball - Episode Summaries Episode 30 - Pilaf and the Mystery Militia Series: Dragon Ball An unknown hand is
seen, holding a cigar. An evil looking cat is sitting on
this man’s lap. The cigar is put out on an ash trey
with a picture of some woman. Meanwhile, Son Goku
is flying along on Kintoun (Flying Nimbus for dub fans),
continuing his search for his grandfather’s Dragon
Ball (the one with 4 stars). He smacks into a rock wall,
and falls toward a spikey valley below. Kintoun
easily catches him. Elsewhere, an Oozaru
(were monkey is seen) attacking Pilaf. Pilaf suddenly
wakes up, screaming, having had a nightmare about Oozaru
Goku. Shuu (his ninja dog henchman) runs into the room
and asks what’s wrong. Pilaf lies that he just fell on
the floor, but Shuu says that Pilaf ALWAYS sleeps on the
floor (funny). Pilaf smacks Shuu with his slipper. Shuu
tells Pilaf that they have began to pick up Dragon Balls
on the radar again. Pilaf begins crying in happiness,
now that his wish for world domination can be finally
granted. Shuu
asks why he is crying, and Pilaf attempts to whack him
with the slipper again. Shuu catches the slipper, but
Pilaf tries again, and hits Shuu this time. Pilaf walks
to his window, and opens it happily. Shuu frantically
reminds Pilaf that they are living on a ship in the sky.
Pilaf suddenly flies out the window, and hangs on a
blanket for his life (Shuu is holding onto the other end
of the blanket). Shuu gets hit in the head by an object,
and he blacks out, still holding the blanket. Pilaf
can’t climb back into the ship. Meanwhile, a little
boy (who looks poor, since he is in dirty clothes) who
looks like Goku, is walking along. Not too far away,
Goku is swimming around in a lake. The boy runs up and
steals Goku’s clothes, Nyoibo, and Dragon Radar,
thinking that he can sell them for cash. The boy runs
off. Goku finishes his swim, and steps out of the lake.
Goku can’t find his stuff, and he flies off on Kintoun
to find it. Goku gets an idea, and yells for Nyoibo
(Power Pole for dub fans) to extend. He sees Nyoibo rise
from the forest, and so he goes down toward that area.
Down in the forest, the boy is scared of Nyoibo, and he
runs off, leaving Goku’s clothes and Nyoibo behind.
Goku comes down, and retrieves his clothes and Nyoibo.
Goku realizes that the Dragon Radar is gone. Goku sees
that the boy left behind a shoe, and he smells it. Goku
is disgusted by the smell. Goku runs off, following the
smell of the boy. Elsewhere, a
mysterious army is driving along in jeeps and tanks. One
of them looks rather muscular. Meanwhile, Pilaf and
Mai are searching a town for a Dragon Ball that their
Dragon Radar picked up. Elsewhere in the
town, the thief boy runs up to his “boss” and offers
to sell him the Dragon Radar. The boss (a merchant)
doesn’t know what it is, but he accepts it, and gives
the boy some money. Meanwhile, that
mysterious army has arrived in a house, and they scare
the family members, demanding the Dragon Balls. The
family doesn’t know what Dragon Balls are, so the army
men begin to search the house. Meanwhile, the thief
boy is eating, when Goku finds him and demands to know
where the Dragon Radar is. The boy is scared, and he
tells Goku that it is at the merchant’s shop. Goku
asks what a merchant is. Back at the
merchant’s shop, Pilaf and Mai have arrived. Pilaf
asks how he looks in a crown, and Mai says that he looks
great. The merchant walks up, and tells Pilaf about how
valuable the crown is. Pilaf says that the jewels look
cheap, so the merchant says he will get Pilaf something
better. The merchant says Pilaf looks very noble, which
flatters Pilaf, who begins to lie and brag about how
“royal” he is. The merchant brings out a Dragon Ball
(with 4 stars), and offers it to Pilaf. Pilaf is
SURPRISED, and he hands over a HUGE wad of money to the
merchant, and leaves, thinking that getting the other
Dragon Balls should be just as easy. Outside, Goku runs
up and finds the Dragon Radar. Pilaf and Mai exit the
shop, and they are both surprised to see each other.
Goku asks what Pilaf has, and he answers, “A Dragon
Ball.” Pilaf and Mai walk away. Goku asks how many
stars it has, and Pilaf answers that it has 4. Goku gets
mad, and runs after them, wanting the Dragon Ball. Pilaf
and Mai are running for their lives. They leap onto
their ship (looks like the Death Star from Star Wars
with a few extras and more detail), and take off. The
turrets of the ship, shoot at Goku, who frantically
dodges the bullets. Back in the
merchant’s shop, the mysterious army has arrived, and
they demand the Dragon Ball. The
merchant says he has one, and he climbs up a ladder and secretly opens a box
of SEVERAL 4 STAR DRAGON BALLS?!? The merchant hands the
Dragon Ball to the
muscular man of the army. The muscle man drops the
“Dragon Ball,” and it shatters. The man is mad for
being fooled, and he takes out his gun and shoots the
merchant. Above the store, the gun shots startle a bird,
which grabs the 5 star Dragon Ball (which was in its
nest) and flies off. In Pilaf’s ship, his fake Dragon Ball has also shattered, and he realizes that the Dragon Ball that their Dragon Radar picked up is moving away from them, which Goku, outside on Kintoun, also notices. The episode ends. |
