Zarbon finds Vegeta nearly dead, brings him back to Freeza's ship, and places him in the rejuvenation tank. On Kaiou's world, Yamucha, Tenshinhan, and Chaozu continue training, and Piccolo joins them in a round of grappling. To his surprise, the three of them do very well, and he is amazed that they have improved so dramatically through Kaiou's methods, which Piccolo had written off as nothing more than timewasting nonsense. Meanwhile, a revived Vegeta emerges from the rejuvenation tank, and sets out to make his escape.

I really like how this one came out, actually. Not just censor- and cut-wise (almost none at all) but dubbing-wise as well. Kaiou's jokes were just as horrible as ever, but other than that, I really liked the writing and acting for the most part. This cast seems to be getting more comfortable with their characters, and are not hyper-acting so much anymore. There's also a nice chemistry developing between them. Scott McNeil's Piccolo is particularly good, of course, I really do like this guy; he just puts such a great effort into his performance and seems so much more real than some of the others.
