Episode Summary

Goku has no idea what is below Snake Way and the clouds of Other World, but by sheer accident, he finds out. He becomes trapped in the Home for Infinite Losers and simply flying back up proves impossible. He encounters two ogres that know the area and claim to know a way out. However, he must beat one of them in a race first, and he does. Unfortunately, while the two ogres do show him the way out, they neglect one important piece of information. Now, Goku must start his journey along Snake Way completely over.moreless

    this was a pretty cool episode,nothing super exciting but not a horrible episode either. i personally thought it was enjoyable due to Goku Wearing on the nerve's on Goz and Mez so easily,However this episode goes deeper than just being a filler. Due to several factors Goku was not able to make it back to Earth before the Saiyans Arrived Instead he arrived after Nappa and Vegeta arrived and had caused there most damage Killing the likes of Piccolo,Tien,Yamcha,Chaotzou, If Goz and Mez hadn't caused Goku to to restart at the beginning of Snake Way perhaps he would have been able to make it back in time to save the lives of his friendsmoreless

    There is an Earthquake.. I think it was in this episode that Gohan fell in a hole caused by an Earthquake, but he survived. But, guess what else happened? Goku falls down Snake Way and is sent to Home for Infinite Losers.. HFIL. Also known as "Hell" in reality perhaps. Well, Goku is tricked to do a bunch of crazy things with two demons until he finally is given a way to leave the place.. King Yema's desk. But, after eating a forbidden fruit that had a.. I think golden color or yellowish.. His new strength can help him catch up to where he was before or even farther! Well, and even farther.

    There is only three months left until the saiyans or aliens come to Earth. Run! Goku save them!

    This episode was great. But, I think it was a filler episode. Perhaps this was one whole chapter in the Dragon Ball Z episode and this series is making an episode out of each chapter. I am eager to see what happens when the saiyans come to Earth in the saga. This is making me impatient. This episode was slow and almost a waste of time to even watch! Grr.moreless

    Goku continues to journey through Snake Way. He manages to catch a ride on the back of a truck of some guy driving around, but accidentally falls down while sleeping.

    He lands into the land of no return, or "Home for Infinite Losers" There are two ogres guarding the place and Goku tries to find his way back up to Snake Way. The two ogres decide to play a little game with him.

    Goku beats the ogres at their own game and they agree to show him the stairway back to Snake Way. Goku makes it up there only to find that ended up back at King Yama's Check-In Station. So now he is really behind schedule.

    Goku must make it in time to recieve training from King Kai in order to save the Earth.moreless

    Goku falls off snake way like an idiot and lands in the home for infinite losers. Over there he tries to go back up and means while he meets to ogres who are quite funny. They challenge goku and both fail. Goku eats a fruit which makes him much stronger and faster. the first ogre tries to throw him back up but failes, and then son goku takes the shortcut the ogre told him about. He gets back to king yammas palace. But the fruit makes him faster and he goes much faster than before. MEan while the others are still traning.moreless
