    "The Dragon Balls are Stolen!" does exactly what it says on the tin! Well, sort of. Pilaf manages to steal 5 Dragonballs from our heroes. Yamcha gives them a life to Pilaf castle and that's about it. End of. So what can I write about? Well, the episode leaves on a cliff hanger with our heroes trapped inside the castle with no escape. We also see character bonding. Bulma once again shows her feelings for Yamcha, while he tries not to freak out from being with her. This is a good episode. We also see how innocent Goku is, as he doesn't know what a robot is when he comes across it. Entertaining and exciting
