Goku, Bulma, and Krillin venture deeper into the cave, when they find a large hallway filled with holes. Krillin finds that when a hole on the floor is stepped on, an arrow will shoot out of a random hole on the walls. Goku decides to jump across, and Krillin barely makes it. As for Bulma, she is dragged over with the Powerpole screaming and crying. Meanwhile, General Red is having a portrait painted of himself. The painting turns out to potray him as a gigantic man and General Black as a shrimp. (The exact opposite of reality.) Black bends down to look at the painting, and General Red yells at him: "You're never supposed to bend down and talk to me!" Back at the cave, Goku and the gang have eluded the trap successfully and General Blue leads his army onward. He motivates his men by giving them a long speech about the pride of the Red Ribbon army and whatnot and they charge ahead, leaving him dawdling behind. Disturbing screams and cries echo throughout the cave. General Blue grows even scared of Goku and can hardly bear to see what fate has befallen his men. He is horrified to see all his men who ran into the trap and got skewered, leaving him by himself. As he surveys the scene, he finds a secret passage to the side that bypasses the hallway of death. Goku and Co. journey deeper into the cavern, nearly falling down a pit of lava but Goku's PowerPole saves them again. They finally come to a very large room which appears to be a docking bay of some sort, and a large submarine sitting in it. They wonder what kind of a place they have stumbled onto, when Goku senses something or someone is nearby -- but whatever it is it's not human.... General Blue comes out of a door on the other side and hatches a devious scheme - He'll wait for them to do all the dirty work, then steal the Dragon Ball from them and escape. The mystery monster reveals itself as a large skeleton-like robot, who begins to attack the three adventurers!moreless

      • Japanese Title: The Pirate's Trap

      • Close-ups of General Blue's men when they were caught in the pirate trap were cut in the edited version.

      • That scene is in the edited version of the Funimation dub also, but the parts that showed Bulma's underwear were not shown. Also if you notice her underwear is embrioded with strawberries. That because in the Japanese version she loves strawberries. One of her possible wishes in the first episodes of Dragonball was to wish for a lifetime supply of strawberries or the perfect boyfreind, and of course in the end she wants a perfect boyfreind.

      • Most of that shot was left in in the Blue Water dub

      • In the unedited version of this episode: during the scene when Krillin is holding on to Bulma's shorts trying not to fall into a lava pit while simantaneously Bulma is telling him to stop wiggling. Well, Bulma is telling Krillin to stop wiggling because her shorts are falling down, and she is noticing that Krillin is looking at her underwear. Krillin starts to pull her shorts down even more to get a better look, but Bulma starts kicking him. And more that is edited out is that when Goku losses his grip and they start falling towards the lava pit Bulma's shorts fall down all the way and Krillin blushes when he sees the entire back end of Bulma's underwear. Then, when Goku uses his power pole, Bulma gets her underwear caught on fire from the lava. Another edit was the shot of Bulma's shorts still down after they get back up to safety.
