Dragonball GT Episode 19: Set Out and Attack! The Mighty Mutant Rirudo

(English title: A General Uprising)

(original, Japanese episode)

Goku arrives at the space ship and notifies Trunks and Pan of the coming danger, General Rirudo. Pan tells Goku that Giru took their dragonballs and expresses her frustration at him. Suddenly, Rirudo arrives. He is impressed at Goku's power; that he was able to defeat the Sigma Force. Goku warns Pan and Trunks to stand back while he handles Rirudo. Pan recognizes Rirudo as the one who gave Giru an award for betraying them and out of anger she charges him and lands a punch and a kick on his face. Rirudo then gets up without a scratch, showing that he let Pan hit him. He explains to Goku that Dr. Myuu is trying to gain control the universe and that even he [Goku] cannot stop him.

Suddenly, Rirudo shoots a beam (that can imprison physical matter in metal) at Pan. Trunks dives in front of her and is hit, imprisoned in metal, and immediately transported to Dr. Myuu's laboratory. Pan charges Rirudo again, but this time he does not even flinch when hit. Pan decides to go rescue Trunks from Dr. Myuu instead, and runs off, leaving just Rirudo and Goku. Rirudo attacks him with the metal-changing beam again, but only manages to hit a few trees and the spaceship. Rirudo decides to fight with his fists so he can knock out Goku and then hit him with the beam.

Meanwhile, Pan charges into the building where the laboratory is located and destroys a group of robots. Outside, Goku and Rirudo begin fighting, with niether one really trying that hard. Rirudo shoots his hand out at Goku's face, smashing him through a few buildings. Goku is unharmed though and retaliates by shooting a large number of ki blasts at Rirudo's stomach. Rirudo tells Goku that it won't be long before Dr. Myuu has a chance to turn him into a machine mutant.

Pan races into the room where Trunks is being held, but before she can do anything he is transmitted to another part of the building. She spots Giru on the other side of the room and starts pacing over to him, ready to rip him apart for his betrayal. Instead, the intruder removal system activates, and she is expelled to the outside of the building. In his laboratory, Dr. Myuu admires Trunks in his metallic prison.

The fighting outside continues. Goku fires a group of ki blasts but misses, and opts for a kamehameha instead. It connects and Rirudo is left with substantial damage. Suddenly, something grabs Goku's arms and legs. When the figures take form, it is revealed they are exact copies of the Sigma Force! Goku decides it is the right time and transforms, finally, into a Super Saiya-jin destroying the Sigma Force in the process. Rirudo retaliates by transforming into Meta-Rirudo, absorbing the remaining parts of the Sigma Force to gain strength. Both fighters charge, and here the episode ends.
