Episode Summary

After a long search, Goku and Chi-Chi find Master Roshi's island and request the Bansho Fan. Unfortunately, Master Roshi threw it out after spilling soup on it. He will still help, though, if Bulma goes on a date with him. Later at Fire Mountain, Master Roshi gathers the needed strength to unleash the Kamehameha Wave. This tactic works a little too well completely destroying the mountain, but things ultimately work out for just about every featured party.moreless

    "The Kamehameha Wave" see's Master Roshi put out the flames for the Ox- King and our hero's obtain the 6th Dragonball. We see Roshi use his powers, and this is also the first time we see Goku use the Kamehameha Wave. Roshi seems to be hiding all his powers underneath that turtle shell of his. There are some nice touches to this episode and a few laughs. Yet another Dragonball episode that manages to entertain. We also see Yamcha still stalking our hero's as they search for the final Dragonball. There is also a hint that the Ox- Kings Daughter likes Goku at the end of the episode. 8 out of 10

    • Pet Turtle Roshi's pet turtle, Gamera, is an obvious reference to a movie monster of the same name. The original Gamera also has the appearance of a turtle and the ability to fly. Edit
    • Kamehameha The Kamehameha Wave happens to share its name with the first king of Hawaii. However, the name of the technique was actually inspired by the creator of the series' (Akira Toriyama) wife, who suggested that since Master Roshi was given the title of "Kame Sennin" ("Turtle Hermit") that his technique should be "Kame-something-ha."
