Smells Like Trouble

Episode Summary

Out of the numerous fighters, only eight are left standing for the finals. After it is decided who will be fighting who first, Krillin finds himself in for a nasty situation. Bacterian stands between him and the semi-finals. A little competition is one thing, but Bacterian has some rather disgusting techniques in his arsenal. Winning requires Krillin to literally get down-and-dirty both of which he ends up doing, much to the audience's disgust.moreless

  • Krillin VS Bacterian

    The battle begins with Bacterian having the advantage because Krillin' only had one hand to fight because his other hand was obviously covering his nose. After some hard hits from Bacterian, Krillin finally gain control but's that's not enough to beat the smelly Bacterian. Goku cheered Krillin on which made him more confident. Now, Krillin had the advantage. Bacterian took some hard hits and Krillin gave him his own taste of medicine. He won after that. Krillin made it through the quarter-finals and into the semi-finals Overall, this is a great episode to watch over and over again. It was exciting when Krillin beat Bacterian.moreless

  • Krillin vs Bacterian Bacterian uses his stench to ware Krillin down, and he also uses his weight to crush Krillin. Krillin ends up knocked out until Goku realizes something about Krillin, he has no nose. Therefore, Krillin ends up fighting to his fullest.moreless

    This is my favorite episode, or at least the one I remember. My favorite part is when Bacterian jumps up and down on Krillin, farts on him, rubs his butt in Krillin\'s face, stomps on Krillin, and rubs his foot in. It\'s not fair that Krillin has no nose. If it was Goku, or anyone else for that matter, Bacterian would\'ve won. There should be a fan fiction about this.

    • Krillin is trying to hold his nose when Bacterian comes, but he doesn't even have a nose. Edit

    • Original Air Date: July 16th, 1986 Edit
    • Japanese Title: Kuririn is Endangered! Edit
    • The part where Bacterian puts his hands in the front side of his pants in order to do "The Smelly Finger Attack" was cut from the Edited U.S version. The part where you actually see Bacteria fart and rub his butt in Krillin's face was also cut and so was the part where you see Krillin moon Bacterian and fart in his face. Edit

    • Announcer: This will be single elimination, in a full regulation sized arena. You lose if you fall outside of the ring, stay down for ten counts, or give up. But poking in the eyes or hitting in the private parts are not allowed! Goku: What parts are private? Announcer: You know what I mean, it's the thing that makes us boys! Edit
    • Krillin: Who's the stink bucket? Yamcha: That's Bacterian, he's got Herculian strength but that comes second to his offensive odor, they say he's never taken a bath since the day he was born! His opponents can only fight with one hand because the other one has to hold their nose, he takes advantage of this to win! Edit
    • Goku: Focus your mind and you won't smell him. Just focus. Krillin! You don't even have a nose! Edit

    • Announcer: Jackie Chun? Jackie Chun is obviously a play on the name Jackie Chan, the well-known movie star/martial artist. Edit
