==Summary==
On Namek, after Krillin tells Gohan and Bulma to hide in the cave, they feel a tremendous energy approaching. Frieza and his comrades swiftly fly past them in a thunderous blaze as they carefully hide in the cave. Bulma concludes that they must be heading after something else since they did not notice them. Krillin and Gohan have been left in complete shock and are horrified at the amount of power they sensed from Frieza's crew. Krillin then notifies Bulma to check the Dragon Radar and confirm whether they were carrying Dragon Balls. Bulma quickly obliges, only to find that their opponents truly have acquired four of the Dragon Balls already. Gohan and Krillin concur that Frieza's power is enormous and unparalleled as they continue to shiver. Bulma asks if Frieza could possibly be stronger than Vegeta, and Krillin replies that he is, in fact, a lot stronger. Krillin presents them with the conundrum that they cannot obtain the Dragon Balls from them. Bulma checks her radar again and notes that they are heading directly for another Dragon Ball. Krillin says that they must have some form of radar as well if they are capable of locating the Dragon Balls.

Krillin and Gohan decide to watch the invaders as they follow them to the next Namekian village. Bulma stays back at the cave, where she sets up a capsule corporation house. Krillin reminds Gohan to keep his power suppressed so they are not spotted, and Gohan agrees. Bulma decides to contact Master Roshi on Earth in order to notify him of the situation. Master Roshi receives a call from Bulma and asks her how things are going on Namek. His reaction then changes to that of complete surprise when he hears the deadly mess they have gotten themselves into.

Goku is still recovering at Wukong Hospital and asks the doctor when he can start working out again. The doctor tells him he is going to have to rest up for at least a little while, an idea which Chi-Chi agrees with. Goku continues to complain about being confined to bed rest as Master Roshi arrives at the hospital. Chi-Chi leaves with some laundry, warning them not to get any surprising ideas. Master Roshi tells Goku that he has received news from Bulma a while ago. He then proceeds to place his hand on a nurse's buttocks, removing it after the nurse screams from surprise. Roshi says he talks with his hands when he is excited as an excuse for his behavior. Master Roshi proceeds to explain the situation to Goku, transferring the message that Vegeta is also on Namek and completely healed. He then says it gets worse as he mentions that there is an evil being even stronger than Vegeta on Namek (Frieza). Roshi then mentions that Bulma has relayed the message about their ship being damaged in an attack and she does not think she can fix it. Goku yells out, asking if they are stuck on the planet. Roshi says he is worried about this stronger force. Goku is astonished at the very idea of someone being more powerful than the likes of Vegeta while the nurse is bewildered at their conversations, but the doctor tells her to ignore it.
Just then, Yajirobe arrives in Goku's hospital room. He says that Korin's newest batch of Senzu Beans have finally grown, and he has brought all seven in a bag for Goku. The doctor tells Yajirobe not to feed his patient, but Yajirobe ignores him and tosses one of the Senzu to Goku, which he quickly eats. The healing effects of the Senzu are immediate as Goku jumps out of bed and breaks off his arm and leg casts just by flexing his muscles. This leaves the doctor and nurse, including the patients complete shocked and Master Roshi and Yajirobe delighted. Goku then tosses his hospital clothing aside on the doctor's head and dons his martial arts uniform, declaring that he's heading straight for Namek. Goku thanks Yajirobe for the Senzu as he takes the bag of the six remaining beans to bring along his trip, while Roshi asks him how he is planning to get to Namek. Goku explains that he had asked Bulma's father, Dr. Brief, to fix up a spaceship for him using the technology from the original pod he was sent to Earth as a baby in. Goku then jumps out of the hospital window as the doctor and nurse, horrified, watches him and he begins to ride his Flying Nimbus to the Capsule Corporation in order to pick up the new spaceship. Chi-Chi spots Goku as he is gliding through the sky at top speed. She yells out behind Goku, telling him that he has not even packed clean underwear. Back inside the hospital room, the doctor and nurse are traumatized and Yajirobe asks Master Roshi about Goku. The patients are stunned at what they've witness the entire scene before they're interrupted by Yajirobe shouts about Goku's insanity at three-week hospitality and another battle, but Master Roshi comments that Goku loves to challenge since he's willing to protect them how can't protect themselves, due to the fact that he's saiyan. This revelation shocks Yajirobe that he realizes that Goku is also from another planet. Goku soars to his destination, he is both nervous and excited as he thinks how there could possibly be a warrior stronger than Vegeta on Namek.
As Gohan and Krillin are dashing through Namek, Krillin warns Gohan to suppress his energy so they will not be spotted. Gohan agrees with him and they continue to advance in the direction of the Namekian village. On Earth, Goku arrives at Capsule Corp. and is greeted by Bikini outside. Bikini leads Goku to the capsule spaceship and Goku is amazed at the sight of its construct. Bikini calls out to Dr. Brief. The capsule spaceship's lid opens and Dr. Brief steps out. Goku tells him he is healed and ready to go. Dr. Brief informs him the spaceship has a few minor adjustments that need to be made.

Dr. Brief begins to explain the ship's interior controls and how he has installed everything that was asked for... including the artificial gravity machine, which generates up to one hundred times Earth's normal gravity. Dr. Brief warns Goku to be careful when using the machine so that he does not get crushed from the impact by setting the gravity too high too soon. He explains that it is not a toy and extreme caution needs to be maintained. Goku asks Dr. Brief how much longer he needs to wait until the ship is ready to fly. Dr. Brief tells Goku that the ship is ready for flight now, but it is still not finished as he does not know where to put the stereo speakers (cappuccino maker in the Funimation dub). Goku gets surprised and raises his voice, saying that he does not care about music. Goku says there is no time because he needs to get to the others on Namek right away. Dr. Brief complies and tells him all he has to do is push the correct button because the ship's destination has already been adjusted for Namek. He also mentions that it would take six days for him to arrive on Namek.
Puar and Oolong appear to be running as they approach Bikini, who is bringing a few beverages when they see the capsule spaceship taking off. The ship blows a large amount of wind as it begins to take off. Goku pushes the button, and the ship quickly takes off for Namek as it thrusts itself into the sky. As the ship disappears at high velocity, Dr. Brief congratulates himself, saying that sometimes he amazes himself. Oolong and Puar come to ask Dr. Brief of Goku's whereabouts. Dr. Brief lights a cigarette and says Goku is on his way to Namek and is probably wishing he had cappuccino already.

On Namek, Krillin and Gohan are still running toward the Namekian village as Krillin notes that they are close to their destination. Krillin pinpoints that they must be over a ridge as they begin to walk rather than run. Krillin points at the top of a ridge, which they can get a better look from. As they raise their heads, they see Frieza, Zarbon, and Dodoria standing in the center of the Namekian village. They do not want to be spotted so they decide to go around to watch from behind. Krillin sees Frieza and analyzes that he is definitely the one in charge. He also mentions that his power level is massive. Gohan agrees with Krillin. Just then, Krillin suddenly realizes that Zarbon and Dodoria are holding Dragon Balls.
Dodoria is seen turning his head and looking upward, facing in Krillin and Gohan's direction. The two quickly hide so they are not spotted. Frieza asks Dodoria if his scouter indicates something. Dodoria replies that he does not know and that he thought he detected a very weak power level, which suddenly disappeared. He concludes that it was probably just a bird or a small rodent, nothing that should be of any concern. Krillin and Gohan are still hiding and are frightened, hoping not to have been spotted. Krillin tells Gohan to be careful because if they are seen, they are as good as dead.
A soldier can be seen telling Frieza that they have found five Namekians inside the village. Another soldier holds out his arm-equipped blaster and threatens the Namekians to come out of their house. A few Namekians step out from the house. Two of the children who step out are Dende and Cargo. Another Namekian man who follows them is Moori, who happens to be the village elder. Gohan is astonished at the appearance of the Namekians, noting that they look very much like Piccolo. Krillin then confirms that they found the Nameks. Frieza can be seen smirking as he prepares to have the Namekians interrogated.
Goku's ship is seen traveling at high velocity. Goku admits that he has a lot of work to do and might as well start training now if he wants to raise his power as high as Vegeta's. Goku says he has trained under ten times Earth's normal gravity while he was on King Kai's Planet, so he should try out twenty. As the gravity machine stabilizes, Goku is pulled down from the effects. He admits he should have tried eleven instead as he struggles to pull his legs.

==Differences from the manga==
*In the anime, when Master Roshi arrives at the hospital to inform Goku about the news he received from Bulma, Chi-Chi is present in the room and soon leaves. In the manga, she was not there at all with Goku saying she had just gone out shopping. Thus, Chi-Chi witnessing Goku flying off from the hospital and yelling after him once he's fully healed is also anime only.
*The doctor's scolding of Goku for doing sit-ups while still injured is changed from the manga to Goku asking him for how much longer he'll have to stay in the hospital. This is due to the former-mentioned events being placed earlier in the anime before Bulma, Gohan, and Krillin even arrived on Namek.
*Roshi fondling the nurse's buttocks is met with derision from the doctor in the anime whereas the manga just has him look confused more than anything else. Roshi's excusing his actions due to old age is removed due to it already have been used in a filler scene from "Friends or Foes?"
*The nurse showing interest in Roshi's informing Goku of the developments on Namek, only for the doctor to silently shake his head (him basically saying ‘pay it no mind’) is not in the manga due to the above-mentioned reordering of scenes in previous episodes. The manga version shows him removing his stethoscope as Goku hears about somebody more powerful than Vegeta being on Namek.
*Master Roshi's line asking if Dr. Brief was able to recreate a Namekian ship like Kami's in the manga is given to Yajirobe in the anime.
*Goku has his hospital room all to himself in the manga whereas the anime gives him a couple of roommates who are shocked alongside the doctor and nurse when the senzu bean heals all his injuries.
*Bikini is first depicted dancing in the anime watering her flower garden just before Goku arrives at the Capsule Corporation. In the manga, she was merely watering her plants without a dance.
*Dr. Brief explaining that Goku's ship being demolished when he found it out in the wild plus the latter wondering if he smashed it apart when he was a baby is not in the manga as the events leading to Piccolo destroying it in "The End of Snake Way" did not occur in the aforementioned continuity.
*Scratch is not present on Dr. Brief's shoulder in the manga.
*Gohan and Krillin accidentally walking up to a cliff right in front of the Frieza Force's line of vision, with them maneuvering around to the left side to avoid detection, is not in the manga. There, they arrive on the aforementioned side from the beginning.
*Cranberry is seen already emerging from Moori and the rest of the Namekians' home in the manga while herding them. The anime has the soldier stay outdoors the entire time while gesturing for the villagers to come outside with his ray gun.
==Trivia==
*Goku says that the Capsule Corporation Spaceship was made from Goku's old Spaceship that he used to arrive on Earth. However, in "The End of Snake Way", in a scene exclusive to the anime, Piccolo encountered this spaceship and destroyed it after it turned Gohan into a Great Ape. Dr. Brief does make a reference to this by saying the ship was demolished when he discovered it and Goku is taken aback, incorrectly postulating that perhaps he'd smashed the ship apart when he was still an infant.
*The reason for Dr. Brief's claiming the ship isn't finished yet differs between languages. In the Japanese version, he states that he hasn't finished installing the stereo speakers and claims that Goku would want good sound even out in space. The English dub instead have him undecided as to where to place a cappuccino machine in case Goku wants a drink of hot coffee. Dragon Ball Z Kai reinstated the former-mentioned reason for its English dub.
*This episode marks the last time Goku rides the Flying Nimbus in Dragon Ball Z. Aside from a cameo appearance in "Calling the Eternal Dragon" (in which Gohan imagines in horror riding the Nimbus with Goku in Captain Ginyu's body), it is not seen again until the closing scene of "Goku vs. Pikkon", this time with Gohan as the rider.
*Cranberry is depicted with four crotch guards around his waist. Most Frieza Force armor is only shown to have either two or three guards maximum.
