Monster Beast Giran

Season 1, Episode 23, Aired
EDIT

Episode Summary

Nam wins his match, but a more important one is about to begin. Giran has a serious size advantage, but Goku nevertheless gives him a run for his money. After being all tied up, though, it looks like Goku will simply be tossed out of the ring. Goku can only delay Giran for so long, but at the last moment, his tail grows back. This grants Goku the strength to break free and defeat Giran. All well and good, but Bulma and others know full well the downside of the return of his tail.moreless
