Japanese Dragon Ball GT - Episode Summaries Episode 2 - I am the Leader! Pan Flies into Space!! Dragonball GT Episode 2 The episode starts with a
straight-laced
Future Trucks being escorted to his
office as president of Capsule Corp. However, he
can’t stand the attention from his staff, or the
pressures of a desk job, and he manages to escape out a
window (again.) Meanwhile, Pan is interrupting
Goten’s phone call to a new girlfriend. The rest of the family is upset
at the idea of Gokuu going off to face danger alone, so
Gohan volunteers to go with. Pan wants to join
them, but Chi Chi tries to scare the girl off with ghost
stories. (The key to the events that follow is—Gokuu
likes being a kid again, while Pan is desperately trying
to be accepted as an adult. Pan is disgusted with
her grandfather’s behavior, and refuses to take orders
from him. Pan
will constantly take on the role of “parent” from
this point on.) At Capsule Corp., Bulma comments on the
fact that her space ship is not all that big—it can
only hold three people. Outside, a thug is
watching the building, waiting for some girl to step out
where he can grab her. Vejiita, now sporting more
of an “old punk” look, with a flat top and a
mustache, is dismissed by the thug’s partner as being
a lousy kidnap victim. The rest of the heroes work
on prepping the ship; all except Pan, who is rebuffed by
all of them. Frustrated, Pan kicks the wall of the
ship, damaging one of the engines (she covers the dent
with a parts cart.) Pan leaves, but can’t avoid
being tailed by a bored Gokuu. Ultimately, Pan
flies off just as the thug leaps forward. Gokuu
gets kidnapped. [Commercial Break.] At Mr. Satan’s martial arts
school, Satan is watching in horror as Pan trashes his
entire class. The girl wants to keep fighting, but
Satan is the only fighter left, and he claims to have a
cold. Elsewhere,
Gokuu is being fed lots of food, as the first thug tries
to get his friend to use the boy in their fiendish plot
(the meal comes to 700,000 zenni.) The second thug
calls Capsule Corp., and tries to talk Bulma into paying
a ransom. Unfortunately, the thug’s phone card
runs out first. Bulma wonders why Gokuu keeps
getting into weird situations.) Pan and Satan go
to a cafe, where the girl complains about always being
treated as a child, while she tries drink black coffee
(she hates the taste) and Satan chows down on a parfait.
Satan TRIES to build up Pan’s feelings, but succumbs
to the need to hug his “cute little grand daughter”. The two thugs keep trying to
ransom Gokuu, but the next phone call is to Vejiita.
Vejiita tells them to do what they want to the boy.
At the end of the day, the thugs are disheartened, and
Gokuu wants to go back home. The second thug wants
to make one more phone call. They stop in an area
devoid of phone booths, so Gokuu flies off to get a
phone for them. Thug 2 finally believes Thug 1’s
claim that Pan had flown away from him that morning.
When Gokuu returns with the booth, the thugs drive away
in terror. Later, Trunks is again escaping
from his office, when he is interrupted by Vejiita.
Vejiita now knows about Gokuu’s planned space trip,
and he wants Goten and Trunks to go along with, for the
experience. (Bulma can take care of Capsule Corp.
on her own, and Goten’s date is beneath notice.) It’s now time for the big
launch. Trunks and Gokuu enter the ship, but Goten
receives a call from his girlfriend and he stands
outside to talk on his cellular phone. Beederu
asks Gohan when Pan is, and Gohan answers “with
Bra.” But, Bra is standing next to Vejiita (Bra
is quite a knock-out), and Pan is nowhere in sight.
Inside the ship, Pan is waiting for Gokuu and Trunks to
enter. She presses the ignition switch -- the ship
leaps into space. Goten is left behind, to meet
his date. And,
a loose component falls from the ship and lands by
Bulma’s feet. ------ 2nd Episode |
