Dragon Ball Z Ep 7: Day 1



Here we are, Day 1 of Gohan's crash course in Martial Arts training!  If our heroes are going to have a chance against the mighty Saiyans, it begins here.  It begins with, oddly enough, no Martial Arts training.  Piccolo informs Gohan that he is going to abandon him in the woods for the next six months and if he can survive, he will train him.

Elsewhere, Kami informs Mr. Popo that Piccolo seems to be changing.  That he might be developing some good in him judging by his actions.  He also says that he knows he will die in a year (if Kami or Piccolo dies, the other dies as well since they are actually 1 person split into 2-that also means the Dragon Balls will disappear).  We also see Goku leave snake way to find out that black shadowy hands come up through the clouds to try to pull him into a vortex of some kind.  Yeah, leaving snake way is not a good idea (even if it was an accident)!

Back in the middle of no where, Gohan gets chased by a T-Rex, only to have his true power manifest again.  This time not in an attack, but in speed.  Without even knowing how he did it he manages to end up on top of a high cliff, out of danger from the T-Rex.  In another example of Piccolo's heart softening, he (secretly) leaves Gohan a couple of apples to eat when he is hungry.

This episode didn't have a lot of action in it but it did reveal a few plot points.  I give this episode 2.5 out of 4 stars.
