Tao defeats General Blue with just his tongue.
Tao: (to Goku) Pleased to kill you.
General Black: We can give you our fastest jet plane... Tao: Too slow...may I borrow this pillar? (Breaks pillar out of the wall) Tao: Expect me back in... an hour!
Bora: Hey, watch where you're going! You almost hit us! Tao: I'm a hitman, it's my job.
This is the first appearance of Mercenary Tao.
Original Air Date: April 22nd, 1987
Japanese Title: Taopaipai, the World's #1 Hit Man!
Originally when Bora was killed by Tao, his spear could be seen sticking out through his stomach after Tao had killed him with it. Scenes like these were not only cut or edited in this episode but in other episodes that showed his death.
The words "Kill You" were kept on the back of Tao's shirt in the edited U.S. version, but was removed in the Blue Water version.
In the original Japanese version Tao is a assassin and not a mercenary
Blue Water Title: The Terrifying Tao Pai Pai!
Taopaipai retains his name in the Blue Water (UK / Canadian) dub, though many times he is just refered to as "Tao" (similar to how Goku's name was retained as "Son Goku" in the Blue Water dub's first episode, but no one has used it since)
Tao's Japanese name is Taopaipai
