Dragon Ball Z Anime Quiz | Episodes 36–44: Vegeta's Retreat, the Journey to Namek, and False Namek

1 / 100.0s

Problem 1

After Gohan's Great Ape form left Vegeta badly injured, Vegeta tried to return to his space pod. Holding Yajirobe's sword, Krillin approached the fallen Saiyan.

What was Goku's main reason for stopping Krillin from finishing Vegeta?

View explanation

Goku did not stop Krillin because he had made peace with Vegeta. He wanted the chance to face such a powerful opponent again with his own strength. As a result, Vegeta escaped Earth in his space pod.

Problem 2

Piccolo died in the battle with the Saiyans. Because his life was linked to Kami's, Kami also died, leaving Earth's Dragon Balls unusable.

What alternative did Krillin suggest for reviving their fallen friends?

View explanation

After learning that Piccolo was a Namekian, Krillin realized that Dragon Balls might also exist on Piccolo's homeworld. The plan was not to repair Earth's set, but to use a different set to revive Piccolo and the others.

Problem 3

Bulma examined the abandoned Saiyan space pod but accidentally destroyed it while trying its controls, eliminating the travelers' first transportation option.

How did they then find another spacecraft that could take them to Namek?

View explanation

After the Saiyan pod was lost, Mr. Popo took Bulma to Yunzabit Heights and showed her the spacecraft Kami had used to reach Earth. Bulma examined and prepared that ship for the journey to Namek.

Problem 4

Once Kami's spacecraft had been made ready for use, the travelers for the trip to Namek were chosen.

Which option correctly matches the three original travelers with their roles or motivations?

View explanation

Bulma, Krillin, and Gohan made the initial departure. Bulma handled the spacecraft, Krillin served as protection, and Gohan dearly wanted to restore his mentor Piccolo. Mr. Popo remained behind to watch over the Lookout.

Problem 5

The voyage to Namek was expected to take about a month. During the quiet first week, Gohan and Krillin continued image training aboard the ship.

What happened when the uneventful part of the voyage ended?

View explanation

A mysterious giant spacecraft pulled them inside during the voyage. Its interior contained traps, and Bulma was captured. Rather than reaching Namek directly, the group entered a series of unexpected encounters.

Problem 6

The giant ship was occupied not by adult soldiers but by children whose home had been destroyed by Frieza. They suspected Gohan's group of being invaders.

What directly convinced the children that they had misjudged Gohan and his companions?

View explanation

The loss of their home explained the children's suspicion. By helping them protect the ship during a meteor shower, Gohan's group earned trust through action. After the misunderstanding was resolved, the travelers departed but were caught in a cosmic current.

Problem 7

While Gohan's group searched for Dragon Balls on a world they believed was Namek, Goku and Vegeta were preparing for what came next in separate locations.

Which option correctly describes Goku and Vegeta's situations in episode 42?

View explanation

Goku was still on Earth, recovering from his injuries and training. Vegeta, meanwhile, received treatment and recovered at the base on Frieza Planet No. 79. They were not acting together in the same place.

Problem 8

Believing they had reached Namek, Gohan's group followed local guides and even recovered what appeared to be a sixth Dragon Ball from an ice cave.

Which statement correctly explains this apparent progress in light of what was later revealed?

View explanation

Apparently finding six balls did not prove that the group had reached the real Namek. They were being led through a staged search on False Namek, so the premise behind their apparent progress was false.

Problem 9

At the supposed location of the final ball, Raichi and Zakuro—who had taken the appearance of Namekians—turned on the travelers and revealed their identities.

Why had Raichi and Zakuro deceived the group?

View explanation

The pair were neither genuine Namekians nor soldiers acting under Frieza's orders. They wanted the travelers' spacecraft as a means of escape and used disguises and a staged search to deceive Bulma's group.

Problem 10

Bulma's group recovered its spacecraft from Raichi and Zakuro, resumed the voyage, and finally reached the real Planet Namek.

Who arrived on Namek separately near the end of episode 44 and sought the Dragon Balls?

View explanation

Bulma, Gohan, and Krillin were not the only arrivals on the real Namek. Having recovered from his injuries, Vegeta also reached the planet in search of the Dragon Balls, setting up the next struggle. Goku did not arrive with them at this point.
