Dragonball GT Episode 6 (Aired 3/13/96)

Chotto itee zo!? Gokuu no haisha It hurts, eh!? Gokuu the dentist.

The ship reaches the next planet. Gokuu asks the robot its name, and gets a serial number back in reply (I hear it as DD4649T2006RS, but the other summaries give it as DD464032006RS. If someone can confirm this number, please let me know.) It announces that the Dragon Ball is on the planet before them, and Pan threatens to turn it to scrap if it is lying. Trunks brings them in for a landing, but the ship trips on a rock outcropping and they crash down (roughed up but safe.) Trunks apologizes -- this is the first time he's flown a space ship. The ship keeps getting rocked -- the "island" they're on is actually the back of a gigantic turtle. They escape a whole herd of island-sized turtles, and Gokuu leaves the ship on his own; of course, Pan has to do the same.

Everything on this planet is hundreds of times bigger than normal. Gokuu rides the back of a horned beetle, and Pan dresses herself up as a cute insect (Gokuu doesn't see it that way.) Pan is taken by the beauty of a butterfly swarm and flies off with them. Trunks arrives, looking for the Dragon Ball and Pan. Gokuu thinks that the two of them can find the Ball alone. Pan finds a big flower, enjoys the sweet nectar and comfortable "bed", until a swarm of bees swoop down and carry her off.

Trunks finds the Ball in a giant apple orchard, but Gokuu knocks a apple out of the tree and the apple lands on the Ball. A huge bird flies up and makes off with the apple (the Dragon Ball embedded in the side of the apple.) A giant "human" thunders past, the bird drops the apple in the giant's hand, the apple goes into a bag, and the bird settles on the giant's shoulder. Before Trunks and Gokuu can give chase, they hear Pan scream. Gokuu isn't concerned, but Trunks says that they can locate the Ball via the Radar, so they should help Pan first. Gokuu is bemused by this.

The bees return to their hive, and put Pan in the main chamber. Pan complains about this, until she notices the 40+ bee eggs moving around. The baby bees hatch, and are so cute that Pan settles down and starts to enjoy herself.

[Commercial Break.]

Trunks finds a giant spider, and what looks like Pan wrapped up in the spider's web. Gokuu gets webbed (he hates the taste) and Trunks kicks the spider to the ground. But, when the webbing is torn open, they find a human-sized queen bee inside. In the hive, worker bees start bringing balls of honey to Pan. At first, she is confused. Then she rebels at the thought of being "mother" to the baby bees. She apologizes to the babies, and leaves the hive. Followed by the entire swarm. Her attempts at evasion fail, and they all fly by the giant "human", who is now catching a massive trout in his arms.

Pan and Gokuu nearly collide; Trunks explains what is happening. The bees return to their hive, with their queen. Gokuu wonders how the bees could be so stupid as to mistake Pan for a queen (ie -- pretty princess.)

Pan is surprised that the boys haven't gotten the Dragon Ball yet. And, as Gokuu is playing with the robot, it runs out of power. Hitting on the robot doesn't fix it. Trunks wonders where they'll find an energy source here, and Gokuu's empty stomach prompts him into saying that he also needs "energy". They find the giant -- with the aid of Gokuu's nose -- cooking the fish over a fire. Gokuu is envious. Being so small, the trio needs an arrow so that we can follow them as they walk through the grass towards the pile of food. The arrow approaches the giant as Gokuu tries to get to the huge cooked fish.

They reach the pile of apples, and the Ball is easily seen in the top apple. Gokuu flies to get the Dragon Ball, but one of the giant's pets nudges the apple and it falls to the giant's feet. The giant pops the apple in his mouth and throws away the core. Pan imagines that the giant will have to run to the toilet to pass out the Ball, and she panics. Trunks tries to calm her down by saying that they can look for the other Balls first, then they are interrupted as the giant starts thrashing around in pain.

Gokuu flies up to ask the giant what is wrong, and he sees the Ball jammed inside a cavity on one of the giant's molars. Gokuu flies into the giant's mouth, and tries to keep it propped open long enough to let Trunks in to get the Ball. The giant's teeth close down on Gokuu first, and the boy is trapped inside the giant's mouth. (This scene is fun.) Gokuu resorts to using Kamehame-ha, just as the giant opens his mouth again. The entire molar is knocked into the air and Gokuu escapes. Gokuu comments on how big the cavity is. Eventually, the giant realizes that the pain is gone and he calms down. The trio gets their first Dragon Ball. Gokuu returns the tooth, with an admonition to brush more. They fly back to the ship. The giant waves good-bye to them.

The ship returns to space, and Pan comments on how pretty the Ball is. This is the first time she's ever seen one. Pan congratulates the robot (which is now recharging), and asks it for its help in finding the next one. The robot replies "giro giro" as usual. Gokuu decides to call it "Gill". Trunks and Pan agree to that.
