Japanese Title: Napping on the Path of the Snake ... Goku Falls Off!

Bora and Upa were also cut from this episode. They are seen when Launch is following Tien to Korin's Tower. Since she isn't strong enough, she goes steals some stuff from Bora and Upa's house, and meets up with them.

Another episode that was almost entirely cut, mostly because the plot centers around Lunch, a character US audiences were never introduced to because most of Dragon Ball was skipped. The cut is rather unfortunate however, since this episode makes such a good introduction to Tenshinhan and Chaozu for people who have never seen the original Dragon Ball (read, US viewers), and a good re-introduction for those who have. As the English version stands now, they simply appear out of nowhere, which is not the best way to introduce them. The remainder of the episode is made up of Gohan training sequences and Goku on Snake Way, all of which were sprinkled about English episodes 7 and 8. The episode starts with Gohan sleeping under the stars, having a nightmare about Raditz, and what happened to his dad. In his sleep, he calls for his father. Bulma and Krillin are flying around looking for Tenshinhan and Chaozu, Bulma is wearing the scouter in order to detect him. Then, we see Tenshinhan and Chaozu training under a waterfall, and Lunch calls both of them back to the house... uh... with her machine gun. She has a big meal spread out for them, and Chaozu asks her where she got the money. When she tells the two of them that she robbed a bank, Tenshinhan refuses to eat the food, and leaves. Lunch reacting to the earthquake, Tenshinhan saves her from a flood that is caused by the mountain falling apart where the waterfall was resting. His outburst of energy sets the scouter off, and Bulma and Krillin come to get him. Lunch sneezes, and thus returns to her "nice girl" self. She says that she is going to the Kame House and bids Tenshinhan and Chaozu farewell. However, she finds a field of flowers and goes to lie in them. This of course, makes her sneeze, and she turns back to her evil self once again. She returns to Tenshinhan's house as Krillin and Bulma are filling him in on the details of what is going on. Lunch mocks Tenshinhan for going on this fool's quest, but he pays no attention to her. He is ready and willing to defend the Earth.
