Arriving at Kaio's World face-first,
Goku struggles against the overwhelming gravity and meets the
Universe's Greatest Comedian, Lord Kaio — or so he thinks.
Goku mistook Kaio's pet monkey Bubbles for the Lord of the Afterlife.
Kaio has one condition before he will train Goku: he must think
of a joke that will make him laugh. Goku gives it his all and
comes up with several weak puns that amuse Kaio immensely.
Perhaps Kaio-sama isn't as funny as he
thinks he is — Goku's new mentor tells him that the Saiyans
are even stronger than himself, and gives him his first task:
to catch Bubbles in the 10-G gravity of Kaio's World. Goku strenuously
chases Bubbles, and after three weeks, finally manages to catch
him! Impressed that Goku has overcome Kaio's World's ten-fold
gravity, Kaio-sama anticipates that Goku may be able to master
the powerful Kaio-ken technique.
