Summary
Darkness Roshi confronts Goku
As Yajirobe and Goku press on, they go their separate ways. Goku meets "Master Roshi" and is taken to the "Kame House", in the middle of the labyrinth, where all his friends await him. Something does not seem right to Goku and he realizes all this is an illusion to bait him into danger and this Roshi is a fraud. Yajirobe falls onto Goku and they both fall off a cliff clinging for their lives. With effort, Goku stays put, even as Roshi injures him.
Ultra Divine Water
Satisfied, Darkness meets with Goku and warns him the possibility of death from drinking the Ultra Divine Water if he is not fit for it. Goku takes the risk and drinks the water getting feeling excruciating pain. Meanwhile, King Piccolo broadcasts that criminals are free to reign in the world.
Trivia
- Most of this episode is filler, except for the part when Yajirobe and Goku drink the Ultra Divine Water and King Piccolo's speech.
- The "Dragon Ball Gang" that Goku encounters in the "Kame House" (after running into the false "Master Roshi") have a distinguishable speech. For example, they pronounce every individual word (almost robotically) and they have a slightly altered accent compared to their real counterparts.
