The flamboyant and ruthless General Blue enters the hunt as Goku and Bulma close in on an undersea Dragon Ball. When Bulma grabs the wrong capsule case, a simple beach stop turns into a close call that forces Goku to redirect their search toward Kame House.
Word reaches Red Ribbon Army Headquarters that the meddlesome boy is now flying straight toward the Dragon Ball assigned to General Blue. Commander Red barks orders to contact the general at once. At Blue Companys temporary camp, the immaculate commander is already tearing into his troops, insisting that none of them will embarrass him the way Silver and White did. When one soldier is caught picking his nose, Blue has the man gunned down with unsettling satisfaction, then smiles coldly at the photograph of Goku and decides that hunting the boy will be amusing.
High above the ocean, Bulma pulls Goku to a stop when the radar shows the next ball lying directly below them. They touch down on a nearby island to find a boat, only for Bulma to discover there is a single capsule left in the case. She releases it with confidence and is buried under a pile of her fathers adult magazines, realizing in horror that she grabbed the wrong case back at Capsule Corporation. Furious, she shreds the magazines while Goku strips down and dives into the sea himself, only to find that the ball lies far beyond his lung capacity.
Returning to shore, Goku discovers Bulma has wandered off in search of a shop. Two Red Ribbon jet flyers have already spotted her and nearly open fire before realizing she is not the boy in the photograph. They land, leer at her, and make their intentions clear until Bulmas screams bring Goku rushing back on Kinto Un. The young fighter dispatches the pair in seconds, leaping through one windshield and slicing the second craft in half with his Nyoi Bo. Thinking fast, he suggests they visit Kame Senin, reasoning that the old master surely keeps a submarine capsule somewhere on the island.
