      • Piccolo: (to Goku) It feels good, doesn't it? We're no different, you and I. We both love inflating pain. It's an intoxicating feeling, isn't it?

      • Tien: (referring to Goku) He's not just stronger, there's something more. It's like watching a different person. Watching...who am I kidding? He was moving so fast I couldn't see him! It was amazing. I can't stop shaking!

      • Tien: He defeated that Drum creature with one blow! One blow! I don't understand, what happened to Goku? How could he have become so powerful!?

      • Original Air Date: July 27th, 1988

      • Japanese Title: Son Goku's Fury at Full Power!

      • Cut scenes: 1. In recap, shot of Goku killing Drum with a hard kick to the face. 2. Shot of Goku punching Piccolo hard in the face edited to remove impact. 3. Shot of Piccolo flying backward with saliva streaming out of his mouth. 4. Shot of Piccolo landing on and crushing Piano, whose eyes bug out, shortened. 5. Shot of Piccolo kicking Goku in the chest cut to avoid impact, but what happened is still implied. 6. Shot of Goku elbowing Piccolo in the face. 7. A few shots of Goku rapidly punching Piccolo in the chest (this is in the Bardock credits, unedited...). 8. Three swift kicks to Piccolo's face and upper chest, one right after another. 9. Shot of Piccolo punching Goku hard in the back cut to remove actual impact, again, but you get the jist of what happened.

      • In the Japanese version, when Goku lands a powerful blow [kick] at Drum, we see his entire head fly out.

      • This episode title was already used in DBZ episode 22, regardless of the redub of those first two seasons.
