Goku goes to investigate. Gohan and Krillin help him defeat three biomechanical monstrosities (Kishime, Misukotsun, and Ebifurya) and then go to Wheelo's main lab. Goku fights a mind controlled Piccolo until Gohan's anger eventually causes the freedom of Piccolo, the death of Kochin (actually its Wheelo's fault), and finally Dr. Wheelo emerges as a huge robot. A tough battle insues until finally Wheelo is destroyed with a Genki Dama. The title would be better translated from Japanese as "The Strongest Guy in the World."

Mov.3 "The Tree of Might"- 60 min. After Gohan befriends a little creature named Higher Dragon, the lost Saiyan Turles (Tah-les) arrives with his "Crusher Turles Corps." The evil aliens plant a mammoth plant called the Tree of Might that sucks all the life out of a planet to produce fruit. The fruit will make you very powerful. Son Goku, Krillin, Yamcha, Tenshinhan, Chiaotzu, Piccolo, and Gohan arrive to fight the Crusher Corps. Everyone is pretty beaten up except Goku. Gohan arrives and Turles turns him into a Giant Ape. The rampage ends with Goku cutting off his tail. Turles eats a fruit from the tree and procedes to total Goku. Even the Genki Dama can't win (Earth is too drained of energy). Just when things look the worst, Goku draws power from the trees fruit to make a second Dama. Turles and the Tree are destroyed, and their energy disperses and heals the Earth.
