Dragonball
GT Episode 17 : Waiting for
Pan! The Tactical Strike to Rescue Goku!
(English title: Pan's Gambit)
(original, Japanese episode)
The episode begins with General Rirudo observing
Trunks and Goku asleep. He comments on how weak and helpless they look, but
still orders them to be taken to the laboratory for testing, so that Dr. Myuu
can later use their energy.
Meanwhile, Pan is able to sneak into the building where Goku and Trunks are
being held captive. Inside, she hides on the ceiling, waiting for a chance to
look around for her kidnapped partners in the open, but she doesn't get a good
opportunity. Out of frustration, she leans back and falls through a door,
plunging onto an assembly line for robots. After landing in a pile of robot
parts, she grabs a few and decides to dress up as a robot to get further inside
the building.
Pan manages to get inside a robot meeting where General Rirudo is speaking.
Rirudo awards Giru with a medal of honor for fooling the saiyans and stealing
their dragonballs. Pan is getting more and more pissed off at Giru…
In the laboratory, the scientist robots are scanning Trunks and Goku for energy
levels. They notice that Trunks's levels are unusually high, and Goku's are off
the charts! When Rirudo sees these results, he doesn't know what to do. That is,
until Giru explains that he has saved all of the saiyans' fighting data onto
memory. All of the fighting data is then downloaded into the Sigma Force's
memory.
Pan is marching around with a group of robots when they start integrating
through a wall. Pan freaks out, since she knows she obviously cannot do this.
When she tries and bounces back off the wall, the other robots take her for a
defective unit and throw her away in a room with the other broken machinery. In
there, another defective robot explains how Dr. Myuu destroyed all the original
robots on the planet and replaced them with his own robots. He also tells Pan
where Goku and Trunks are. All of the sudden, the walls start closing in to
crush the broken robots, but Pan saves them all at the last minute by blasting
open the door.
Rirudo notices the intruder and orders the Sigma Force to destroy her. Commander
Nezi sends Ribet to take care of it for them. Meanwhile, Pan is running along
quickly, already near the laboratory, when she is hit with a missile from Ribet.
Pan begins to fight with him, although Ribet has the advantage because he can
hide in the walls and he knows all her fighting data. Pan gets so angry that she
is able to create an energy blast that exceeds her limits according to Giru's
data, and destroys Ribet.
The rest of the Sigma Force are amusing themselves watching Giru's recorded
footage of the saiyans, and laughing at their naivete. Suddenly, Goku wakes up
and tells the Sigma Force that he is about to destroy them for telling Giru to
be a traitor. The Sigma Force scoffs at Goku for actually trusting Giru as a
friend. Pan then bursts into the room announcing that she will defeat the Sigma
Force and take back Goku and Trunks, but before she can do anything Bizu hits
her across the room. Goku gets angry and powers up, ready to destroy the Sigma
Force, while Pan and the now conscious Trunks look on.
