After seeing Goku's Power Pole, the Ox-King tells him that his Grandpa Gohan trained alongside him under Master Roshi. The Ox-King agrees to give up the Dragon Ball if Goku can go find his daughter Chi-Chi and get the Bansho Fan from Master Roshi. Yamcha and Puar who are listening behind some ruble quickly leave the scene when they find out the girl, he knocked out earlier was Chi-Chi and rush back over to her to see if she is okay. When she wakes up, she begins to take aim using her helmet, but Yamcha pretends to have been in love with her to prevent being on her bad side.

Goku's weakness of being grabbed by the tail is revealed.

Yamcha runs away just as Goku goes over to Chi-Chi and tells her that he was sent to help her get to Master Roshi. Chi-Chi is able to get onto the Flying Nimbus but weakens Goku briefly when she pulls his tail, revealing a weakness to Yamcha who witnesses it from a nearby distance. While flying over the Diablo Desert, Goku decides to "Pat-Pat" Chi-Chi to confirm she is a girl. After Chi-Chi hits Goku for it, she secretly begins to fall in love with him.

Trivia[]

Shonen Jump DBChapter12Titlecover
  • In the Weekly Shōnen Jump issue, the original title page of this chapter featured Goku riding on his Flying Nimbus presumably in search for Chi-Chi while the illustration is accompanied by the contestant results for the best chapter cover art with Chapter 3's title cover winning.
    • Presumably due to the original title page of this chapter consisting of contestant results with the addition for privacy concerns in keeping a contestant winner's name from being exposed too much, the original title page of this chapter was omitted in the Tankōbon, Kanzenban and other subsequent collected releases of the Dragon Ball manga as Shueisha felt it was less than ideal to have it up until its Digest Edition. The omitted title page was instead replaced with the original title page for the following chapter, likely due to this chapter being the first chapter of the second volume, which essentially left Chapter 13 without a title page in the collected releases.
