Goku's Ancestors

is the 14th episode of the Vegeta Saga in the uncut Dragon Ball Z series. This episode first aired in Japan on September 20, 1989. Its original American airdate was July 18, 2005.
==Summary==
Having successfully caught Bubbles, King Kai gives Goku his next assignment: to whack his personal assistant, Gregory, a giant, incredibly fast grasshopper, over the head with a massive weighted hammer.
On Earth, Piccolo continues Gohan's training who has now finally learned how to dodge Piccolo's punches and kicks but a surprise Ki blast knocks Gohan over the edge of a cliff. He tries numerous times but is unable to climb back up asking Piccolo for help. Meanwhile, on the Lookout, Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, Krillin and Yajirobe continue their training.
Back on King Kai's planet, King Kai calls for a time out for food. King Kai relates to Goku how the Saiyans, who had wiped out the only other humanoid race on Planet Vegeta (called the Tuffles), had risen to acts of interstellar terror, clearing entire planets for resale to other races. They had since been driven to near extinction, and only four individuals survived the destruction of Vegeta. After Goku learns of the evil heritage of the Saiyans, he flies off in a burst of light towards Gregory, focused only on hammering him. Back on Earth, Krillin and the others complete their training at the Lookout having all surpassed Kami, they decide to continue their training on their own.
Two weeks later Goku finally hits Gregory with the mallet and so King Kai decides to teach him the Kaio-ken technique. At Kame House, Master Roshi asks his sister to use her powers to determine Earth's future but upon looking she finds that the planet has no future. As the episode comes to a close, it is said that there is only one more day until the Saiyans arrive.

==Differences from the manga==
*Gregory is an anime exclusive character and as such all scenes involving him did not happen in the manga.
*The story of the Saiyans' history involving the war with the Tuffle race and the pirating deal with the Arcosian race was only mentioned in the anime. In the manga the Tuffle and Arcosian races are never mentioned.
*The scene with the Z-Fighters concluding their training on Kami's Lookout is extended slightly in the anime, with the heroes vowing to continue honing their skills down on Earth and Tien looking forward to see how Goku has improved. Also, no response is given to Yajirobe's asking to remove his weighted clothing in the manga; the anime shows Kami approving the former's request.
*The brief appearance of Baba in the manga is expanded in the anime to show Master Roshi asking his sister about how the future of Earth currently looks and her actually attempting to see.
==Trivia==
*The events in this episode (including Gregory's existence) do not appear in the manga, and are mostly filler for the anime. Despite this, Gregory also appears in Dragon Ball Z Kai.
*Bulma's look has changed in this episode. Her hair is long again and in a ponytail tied with a yellow ribbon. She wears a pink dress with a line pattern going horizontally across.
*The song Shura-Iro no Senshi (Battle-Colored Warriors) can be heard in the Japanese version of King Kai's story about the Saiyans' history. The English version did not use it.
*The part of the story stating that the Kami of planet Vegeta destroyed it would later be contradicted when it is later revealed that Frieza destroyed the Saiyan homeworld.
*As part of the story, King Kai tells Goku of the Saiyan ability to transform into Great Apes on full moon nights. Goku shows no reaction to this; he later learns about the ability when Vegeta uses it and realizes that he accidentally killed Grandpa Gohan as a child.
*Goku is shown wearing Battle Armor in this episode.
*King Kai says that there are 70 days left before the arrival of the Saiyans, but in the previous episode he said that there were 88 days and it took Goku three weeks (or 21 days; according to the summary) to catch Bubbles, meaning there should have been at most 67 days left. In the original version, it also took Goku two weeks to hit Gregory, but this is not said in the dub, which uses different days.
