Summary

Nautrondigging.Ep — The Seven-Star Dragon

Goku, Pan, and Giru are flying through the air in search of the next Shadow Dragon, when Giru senses a Dragon Ball below them. The trio land with no Shadow Dragon in sight, but Giru repeats that the Dragon Ball is underneath them. Goku begins to dig, but is interrupted by an earth-shaking force and tone-deaf singing. The source of both is Naturon Shenron, a purple mole-like dragon, digging through the earth and singing (extremely poorly) about his love for causing earthquakes. At first it appears that he cannot see Goku, Pan, or Giru so Goku screams into his ear, getting his attention.

Goku.Ep.52 — Goku confronts Naturon Shenron

Naturon is surprised to see Goku and admits that he is "not much of a fighter", but he still refuses to give up his Dragon Ball. He resumes his digging while Goku tries to anger him with insults. When that fails, Pan fires a mass of ki blasts, to no avail.

Naturon continues tunneling, causing Goku and Pan to realize he is headed right toward a city. Goku rushes off to warn the people of the city and Pan follows suit after stuffing Giru in her backpack. The heroes arrive just as the earthquake is starting to be felt, and they immediately go to work saving the people from certain doom.

NautronShenronkickedGoku.Ep — Goku kicks the Shadow Dragon

As Pan destroys falling rubble and retrieves trapped civilians, Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan 4 and fits the pieces of shifting earth back into place, saving the city. When Naturon Shenron realizes that his plan has failed, he finally attacks Goku and Pan with a punch. Goku easily dodges the attack and counters with a kick to the stomach, followed by a series of blows that end with Naturon being sent flying out of the city. The pureblood Saiyan admits that Naturon is a decent fighter when motivated, but Naturon brags that he's "ten times the fighter you just fought" when he gets serious.

Joining the fray, Pan wonders what wish spawned Naturon, and the dragon reveals that he was created by the wish that brought back the people killed by Majin Vegeta at the World Martial Arts Tournament. He then attacks with his Aftershock Technique, but Pan quickly realizes that the blasts can be avoided easily if they take to the air. This further angers Naturon Shenron and he fires a barrage of Aftershocks at Goku and Pan, which they easily dodge before landing on the monster's head, frying him with his own attack. Goku and Pan easily evade the blast (with the former returning to his normal form), and Pan admits shock that Naturon fell for "the oldest trick in the book".

Lamenting the humiliation of beating himself, the charred Shadow Dragon falls to the ground and explodes, sending the Seven-Star Dragon Ball into the waiting grip of Pan. Suddenly, the still-corrupted ball turns into a sphere of blue light, sucking Pan into itself. Despite Goku's efforts, Pan is absorbed by the ball, which swells and transforms into Naturon Shenron, but bigger, bluer, and more dragon-like than before.

The Seven-Star Dragon laughs at Goku, explaining that he was tricking them the whole time. He reveals that he had taken over the body of a mole until the heroes defeated him, allowing him to use his Dragon Ball to possess Pan's body. With his power exponentially increased with his new host, Naturon attacks Goku, intent on wearing out his current body before possessing a Super Saiyan 4...

Trivia

Goku compliments Naturon as a worthy opponent before Naturon manages to land a single punch.

-While [[Goku]], [[Pan]], and [[Giru]] fly through the air on their search for the [[Shadow Dragon]]'s, Giru senses a [[Dragon Ball (object)|Dragon Ball]] below and the three go to check it out. They are standing on the ground and there is no Shadow Dragon in sight. Giru then states that the Dragon Ball is underneath them. Goku begins to dig but is interrupted by an earth-shaking force coupled with strange tone-deaf singing. It turns out to be [[Naturon Shenron]], who looks like a gigantic purple gopher or mole, digging through the earth and singing about his love for causing earthquakes. He appears to be the dumbest of the Shadow Dragons, having trouble finding rhymes for his song, the last lyric being "uh...earthquakes rule!" At first it appears that he can not see Goku, Pan, or Giru so Goku screams into his ear, getting his attention.

-He is the only Shadow Dragon so far to not expect the arrival of Goku and states that he is "not much of a fighter." However, he does not submit to the will of Pan, who asks him to "just hand over" the Dragon Ball. After his brief conversation he continues to dig through the earth, and sing his awful song. Goku and Pan worry about losing him so they follow him and Goku tries to coerce him to fight by insulting him. When that fails Pan simply unleashes a bombardment of ki blasts. Even this does not get Naturon Shenron's attention and he continues on his path, when Goku and Pan realize he is headed right toward a city. Goku rushes off to warn the people of the city and Pan stuffs Giru into her backpack and follows suit. They arrive just as the earthquake is starting to be felt and the people are beginning to panic.

-They both save the people from certain peril, Goku even transforms into a [[Super Saiyan 4]] and fits the pieces of falling earth back into place, which saves the city from succumbing to Naturon Shenron's evil plot. Naturon Shenron surfaces and looks at the city, expecting to see destruction but finds the skyline unchanged. This enrages him and he approaches Goku and Pan and attempts a punch. Goku easily dodges the attack and counters with a kick to the stomach, followed by a series of punches, and finishes with another kick in the stomach, knocking him away. Goku compliments him, saying "when you get all worked up you're a pretty good fighter." Naturon Shenron then states "when I'm angry I'm ten times the fighter you just fought." He then reveals that he was created by the wish that brought back the people killed by [[Majin Vegeta]] at the World Martial Arts Tournament. He then attacks with his Aftershock Technique, a concentrated blast of energy fired through the ground and up at the intended target. Pan easily figures out how to defeat the technique, simply staying in the air rather than standing on the ground. This further angers Naturon Shenron and he fires a much larger Aftershock Techniques at Goku and Pan, which they easily dodge.

-When Goku and Pan stand on his head he mistakenly attacks himself. The charred Naturon Shenron falls to the ground and the Seven Star Dragonball flies into the waiting arms of Pan. However, it does not turn back to its original orange color but stays blue and after a few moments, turns into a sphere of blue light, sucking Pan in much to the dismay of a now normal form Goku. After Pan is totally immersed in the ball of light, Naturon Shenron appears but he is entirely transformed, now hes a teal color and has many more dragon-like features than before. He then admits that he had taken over the body of a mole and now was inhabiting Pan's body. He then begins to attack Goku and to convince him to go Super Saiyan 4 so Naturon Shenron can steal his body.
