Dragon Ball Z E12: Global Training




If you have not read my review of episode 11, you may do so here: Dragon Ball Z E11: Terror on Arlia

As this episode opens, Gohan is having a nightmare about his father, Goku.  With everything that has been going on, Gohan really hasn’t had a chance to grieve over Goku’s death.  Meanwhile, Bulma and the gang are on the lookout for Tien and Chiaotzu so that they can also receive special training from Korin.

During his journey, Goku runs into someone using a street sweeper to clean snake way.  The bad news is Goku finds out that he has only made it about a quarter of the way, the good news is the street sweeper told Goku he can hitch a ride on the back of his vehicle and he will take him half way.  Launch (a character from Dragon Ball who switches personalities when she sneezes) has fixed a meal for Tien and attempts to talk him into robbing banks with her.  Tien wants nothing to do with her and leaves to continue his training, with the goal of beating Goku.

Piccolo is training on his own, using his mind to lift pyramids.  He loses control of one and drops it, causing an earthquake.  During the earthquake Gohan is almost trapped underground but he uses his new skills to jump out before the ground closes up.  The earthquake does destroy Launch’s house though, and Tien is forced to save her.

Bulma uses the scouter to locate Tien and Chiaotzu.  After filling them in on all that has happened they are more then ready for the special training.  Launch (who is apparently obsessed with Tien) isn’t very happy about the situation.  Back on snake way, the street sweeper hits a bump on the road and a sleeping Goku is knocked off of the vehicle and falls off of snake way.  He wakes up to find some kind of fruit tress.  Just as Goku is ready to eat, someone or something knocks him out from behind.
