Characters

Goku: Was sent to the planet Earth when he was only a baby. He was raised by his adoptive Grandpa Gohan, untill his death. Later on he was trained by the legendary Master Roshi. He is a noble and strong warrior that will never turn down a fight or give up. He is known as a hero through the eyes of many people, especially due to his defeat of the evil King Piccolo. He wasn't even aware of his Saiyan heritage untill his brother, Raditz, came looking for him on Earth a few years ago. He died while fighting Raditz, and is currently on Snake Way, so he can train under the legendary King Kai.

Gohan: The Son of Goku, and named after Goku's Grandpa Gohan. He has shown hidden powers while fighting Goku's evil brother, Raditz. Piccolo has decided to take him on as his pupil and train him. He is currently facing the survival test portion of Piccolo's training.

Piccolo: The reincarnated son of King Piccolo. When he was born, he became just like his father, hungry for world power and terror. His goal in life was to avenge his father's death and defeat Goku. He reluctantly joined forces with Goku when Goku's brother, Raditz, came to Earth. He managed to kill both Raditz and, ironically, Goku using his special beam cannon technique. He knows Gohan has hidden powers within him, so he has decided to take him under his wing and train him himself, before 2 more Saiyans, Nappa and Vegeta, arrive on the Earth in one year.

Krillin: Goku's best friend since childhood, when they began training under Master Roshi. He always fights alongside the rest of the Z Warriors. One of his goals in life is to find a beautiful woman and marry her.

Heh, I remember back in the day when Saban didn't dub this episode thinking it would influence kids to run away from home. >_>

Well, they did dub the episode, they just skipped it in the syndication run.

I think Saban was more concerned about the orphans, and kids going against adult authority.

Saban, you fail. Wait, nevermind, you're dead.

Also, this is one of the few times I thought Saffron Henderson did a good Gohan. The rest of the time she was too scratchy.

I love the scene with Piccolo on the cliff at the end. "What is your mission Gohan!?"

The eps was a bit boring but it did add a bit of development to gohan character. And for those who don`t know,this eps never air on broadcast TV for some reason.
