| As Krillin and the others try to find the Dragon Balls, as well as a "gentle" way of telling Chi Chi what has just transpired, Korin appears with a task for Krillin: he must bring Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu to Korin Tower in preparation for the Saiyans' arrival. Gohan sees the full Moon for the first time and goes through the same transformation as his father once did: he becomes a giant ape-creature, an Oozaru, unable to control his power. With no other way to stop the rampaging Gohan, Piccolo is forced to destroy the Moon. Gohan reverts to his original form, and with no Moon, the chance of the transformation ever happening again is gone. Just to be safe, Piccolo pulls Gohan's tail off. | ||||
