#1 - Change! An Unexpected Return! His Name is Ginyu!!

Dragon Ball Super - Season 2 - Episode 8

Tagoma powers up and then confidently approaches his opponents. Piccolo is instantly outmatched, so Gohan blasts Tagoma, causing him to fly several yards away. As the dust settles, Tagoma reveals himself to be unharmed. Suddenly, Gotenks arrives and headbutts Tagoma, shocking everybody. While Tagoma is struggling to recuperate from Gotenks's attack, Captain Ginyu (in his frog form) pounces up to him and inscribes a message in the gravel. Tagoma accidentally sets off Ginyu's signature move, which swaps their bodies. Ginyu rapidly adjusts to his new body's immense power and assaults all of his rivals simultaneously. Bulma, Trunks, and Goten attempt to contact Whis, leaving Jaco bewildered. While combating Gohan, Ginyu appears to have the upper hand until Gohan transforms into a Super Saiyan and manages to knock him down. At once, Frieza becomes enraged and repeatedly shoots multiple blasts at Gohan. Before Frieza can kill Gohan, however, Piccolo steps in to save him.
