Gokuu arrives just in time to prevent Blue from killing Kuririn, but ends up falling prey to Blue's powers himself. Gokuu manages to escape, and beat up Blue, but the cave is collapsing. Blooma and Kuririn run on ahead, while Gokuu searches for the Dragon Ball.

Thoughts
Aaaaand this was the final episode of the vastly underpromted second dub season. The shotgun scene got hacked up, and they created a little plothole by removing the Janken Choki. But at least they left the mouse scene alone.

Alteration
In the recap, all shots of Blooma's panties from the last episode are painted in. Most shots from this episode seem to be painted in as well.
Cut
(5 seconds) In the recap, after Kuririn slides down the wall, a shot of him lying on the ground is cut.
Cut
(56 seconds) After Blue cocks the shotgun, there's a big cut. Blue points the shotgun at Gokuu, and asks Blooma where the Dragon Ball is. She tells him it's in the pool, and then Blue decides they're useless to him now, and he has to kill anyone who messes with the Red Ribbon Army. He points the gun at Gokuu a last time, and then the dub picks up when Blooma gets a horrified look on her face.
Alteration
After Kuririn comments on Blooma's whining about dying, a shot of Blue standing over Gokuu pointing the shotgun at him is replaced with a shot of Gokuu just lying on the ground.
Alteration
When Gokuu is lying on the ground just before the mouse shows up, the shotgun in his face is painted out.
Cut
(9 seconds) After Blue attempts to use his ESP on Gokuu again, a clip of Gokuu poking Blue's eyes out (Janken Choki!) is cut. This could leave one wondering just how Gokuu evaded the ESP...
