A New Friend

is the 4th episode of the Vegeta Saga in the uncut Dragon Ball Z series. This episode first aired in Japan on July 5, 1989. Its original American airdate was June 29, 2005.
==Summary==
Gohan begins to grow accustomed to the wild life, able to gather food for himself. After a nearby thunderstorm strikes up, Gohan takes shelter in a nearby cave where he creates an ointment to heal his wounds.
For the past five years, Yamcha has been working on the side as a professional baseball player for the Taitans. In the middle of a game against the Rockets, he is pulled out of a brawl by Krillin with the news of Goku's death and the upcoming attack of Raditz's companions. The two of them, and Puar, meet up with Bulma, who still has not forgiven Yamcha for their last breakup, and leave for their rendezvous with Kami in one of her capsule hovercars.
Meanwhile, Gohan accidentally shares a cave with an injured Apatosaurus, and after a fright, tends to its wound with a treatment his father taught him. Suddenly, while he is away gathering medicine, the carnivorous Paozusaurus that pursued Gohan earlier attacks the wounded Apatosaurus. Gohan leaps to the wounded dinosaur's defense with his new sword, but is no match, and as the boy is knocked unconscious the unlucky dinosaur is eaten.

*Many characters in this episode resemble characters from the Red Ribbon Army: the Titans' player Murdock looks like General Blue, the Taitans' coach Freddy Hein looks like Captain Dark, the baseball player Pepper Johnson looks like Staff Officer Black, and the baseball pitcher Rocky Rivers looks like General White.
*Yamcha playing baseball is filler, however him having a baseball career was, indeed, Akira Toriyama's idea.
*In the original Japanese broadcast, the first 15 seconds of the next episode preview were devoted to next week's show, and the other 15 seconds were devoted to a movie ticket lottery drawing for Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone (Released in theaters on July 15, 1989). This preview was not included in the Dragon Box. Instead, the preview used was the rerun version for the next normal episode, "Terror on Arlia".
