|
The Dragon Team reaches a high tech harbor within the caves, which has been abandoned, save for a guardian robot. Gokuu stays to fight the robot, while Blooma and Kuririn head for the Dragon Ball. Blue follows the two of them, and diverts the path so that Gokuu can't catch up to them.

Bit of trivia: This is actually the first episode I did in full, tape-to-tape detail, rather than taking notes as the episode aired on Cartoon Network. (But obviously I went back and redid the others.) And they certainly didn't give me an easy job of it with all these gunfire snippets. Also, the robot getting a voice and stupid pirate dialogue was lame.

| Alteration |
|
In the recap, a shot of Blue's dead men with spears stuck in them is replaced with the VERY NICE shot of Blue standing over the empty traps, and about 3 seconds are lost. But, to make up for it, I think the clip of the lit up skulls is slowed down.

In the recap, when Gokuu, Blooma, and Kuririn are falling, Blooma's shorts are left unzipped this time. Hmm...

Where once there was silence (and sound effects), the pirate robot is given a stupid voice. "Yo ho ho." "Shiver me timbers." Et cetera.
