If you have not read my review of episode 10, you may do so here: Dragon Ball Z E10: A New Friend
Gohan wakes up and gathers breakfast and it seems like he is mastering the survival training Piccolo is putting him through. He is no longer the whiny little kid who can’t do anything for himself. The T-Rex from the previous episodes even shows up and Gohan toys with him before cutting off part of his tail to make a steak. Meanwhile, out in space we see the dreaded Saiyans waking up from a deep sleep and on back on Earth Yamcha is still bragging about how strong he is going to be.
Besides a quick glimpse of Goku still running on snake way, the rest of the episode focuses on the Saiyan landing on a planet called Arlia. This is an interesting episode because up to this point we have never really seen the Saiyans do anything. Since they were flying by anyway on their way to Earth, Vegeta and Nappa decide make a quick stop to stretch their legs…and conquer the entire planet of Arlia out of boredom so they can sell it off and make a profit.
Arlia is a planet with an insect looking race living on it. It has apparently been under the rule of a tyrant King for hundreds of years. Just for sport, Vegeta and Nappa allow themselves to be captured by the Arlians. While in prison the Saiyans come across some Arlian prisoners; one of them had his wife stolen from him so the King could take her as his Queen. Vegeta gets bored and decides to end this. The Saiyans break into the King’s throne room, where he has Arlians fight to the death for his amusement.
After easily defeating all of the King’s guards and even his giant monster he keeps for a pet, the Saiyans finish off the King as well as he begs for his life. The rest of the prisoners escape and thank the Saiyans for all that they have done. Deciding that the planet Arlia is worthless, Vegeta and Nappa get into their ships to finish the trip to Earth. On Arlia we see the prisoner who had his wife stolen reuniting with her. Back out in space Vegeta stops his ship and blows up the entire planet of Arlia, probably just because the whole experience ended up being a waste of time.
Even when celebrated as heroes by an enslaved race, the Saiyans do not care about life. They didn’t free the people to help them, they did it just for the fun of killing people in single combat. If we didn’t already know, we now understand just how evil and without mercy the Saiyans are.
