At Sixes and Sevens

Goku's First Kamehameha

While Oolong grumbles about digging through the rubble for the Dragon Ball, Bulma waves him off thanks to the Dragon Radar. The Ox-King is delighted about the flames, though Roshi feels sheepish about flattening the castle. Goku begs the old master to teach him the beam attack, and Roshi replies that the technique took him fifty years of training to perfect. As Roshi turns to speak with the Ox-King and Chi-Chi, Goku mimics the stance from memory and fires off a miniature Kamehameha that detonates the team's parked car. He is more disappointed that his blast was small than impressed that he pulled it off at all.

A New Apprentice

The Ox-King marvels, adding that such a feat is only natural for Gohan's grandson. The offhand comment jogs Roshi's memory: he had heard his old student raised a tailed child in the mountains. When the hermit asks after Gohan, Goku tells him that the old man has passed away. Moved, Roshi offers to train the boy himself, and Goku eagerly accepts, promising to come study once the Dragon Balls have been gathered. Yamcha, still spying from the sidelines, is floored that anyone could be accepted as a pupil so easily.

Bulma's Price and a Parting Promise

Bulma finally fishes the Seven-Star Ball out of the wreckage, only to remember the car has been vaporized. The Ox-King hands over a fresh capsule vehicle, and the radar points the final ball to the west. Before they can leave, Roshi reminds Bulma about their deal. She shoves Oolong aside and orders him to shapeshift into her. After a few botched attempts, the pig sashays over, teases Roshi about a pafu-pafu, and finally flashes him, triggering a geyser of blood from the hermit's nose. In the car, Chi-Chi shyly tells Goku she wants to be his wife someday, a promise he takes as a simple offer of something to collect later, then the group speeds off with Yamcha and Puar switching to a faster hovercar to keep pace.
