Panicked for his life, he barely escapes with his own skin as Piccolo who was searching for him sees he is alright.

==Trivia==
*This marks the first appearance of Launch's good form since the Dragon Ball episode "Battle of the Eight".
** This also marks the first appearance of Launch's good form wearing a complete set of her original outfit that consists of a red headband ribbon, a light-green midriff-baring crop top, yellow shorts with a red belt, brown fingerless gloves and red sporty shoes with green socks since the Dragon Ball episode "Find That Stone!".
*A poster with Arale Norimaki on it is seen inside of Launch's Capsule House.
*An animation error occurs in this episode when Gohan nearly does not make a gap in the ground closing from an earthquake and bursts through. When it is shown from Piccolo's perspective though, it is as if he never breaks any of the rubble.
*When the old Saban dub of Dragon Ball Z was done for the equivalent of this episode, all scenes with Launch were removed either because they did not finish Dragon Ball's dub, or they could not remove guns from Launch's scene. There was also the issue of her implied kidnapping of the chefs to make Tien's meal.
*Bulma's scouter has a computerized voice say, "Target located." upon detecting Tien’s power level. This was only in the English dub and the only time it occurs.
