The Turtle Hermit Way

Season 1, Episode 18, Aired
EDIT

Episode Summary

Milk deliveries, tilling, running from bees and shark swimming certainly make for unusual training methods. Nonetheless, Goku and Krillin meet these challenges head on. Of course, these tasks would be a lot easier if not for those heavy turtle shells that Master Roshi makes them wear all the time. The boys are pushed to their limits and in the end, they are stronger than ever. And just in the nick of time, as the World Martial Arts Tournament is about to begin.moreless

    this episode seems empty yet it has it all. it picks up from last episode and shows the rest goku and krillins hard training. we see our heros do some farming, digging, rock moving, swimming, shark dodging and much more. Also in this episode we see, wait for it,*shocked scream*- Goku and Krillin naked. I was amazed that the artist got away with that one. Micheal Jackson would have loved it! Anyhow back to the review. The episode was above average due to the fact that it was a bit empty and not that really exciting. 6 out of 10 for rude animation anda big shark finmoreless

    • JAWS: Shark coming to get Goku and Krillin
      When the shark comes to eat Krilin and Goku, there is a point of view on the shark, which looks like the shot of the movie "JAWS"; the music sounds like it too. Edit
