Start of the "Piccolo Jr. Saga". Yajirobe takes Goku to Korin Tower to recover from his fight with Piccolo. While there, they tell Korin about the death of the eternal dragon and find out that Kami, the creator of the dragon and the dragon balls, lives high above Korin Tower. He can recreate the dragon so that Goku can bring his friends back to life, but the only way to get there is to use the power pole, which Goku lost during his fight with Piccolo. In order to reach Kami, Goku must find his power pole and return to Korin Tower. Meanwhile, Piccolo Jr. hatches from his egg.

Goku and Chi-Chi visit the Kame House to find Roshi's instructions for making the Bansho fan. They see that they need a feather from a mystical bird called a fire-eater, so they go to Mt. Kiwi to retrieve one. Once there, they are followed by Mai and Shuu, who are also looking for the bird.

Goku and Chi-Chi reach the mountain that reportedly holds the Bansho fan, but a heavy snowstorm causes them to crash at the mountain's base. They meet an old woman who explains to them that no woman can climb the mountain without causing a storm. She also tells them that there is no fan on the mountain. Goku scales it hoping to gather enough snow to put out the fire at the Ox King's castle. While Goku is climbing the mountain, the old woman teaches Chi-Chi about being a good wife. Meanwhile, Goku is followed by Pilaf, who thinks the fan might be worth something.

The Bansho fan has no effect on the flames because the fire was forged in the Magical Furnace. Goku and Chi-Chi must travel to the other side of the world to Mt. Five Elements, where they must venture through the Gate of the Five Elements into the Dark World. There, they must find Tajoro, the keeper of the furnace, and convince her to help put out the flames.

Goku tries to convince Tajoro to extinguish the flame long enough to fix the leak that causes the Ox King's castle to ignite, but she refuses. This is because the flame is what creates the fog that shrouds Mt. Five Elements, and the fog is what allows spirits to pass between the spirit world and the world of the living--without it, no spirit could ever visit the world of the living again, and all spirits already in the world of the living would be trapped forever. Therefore, they must find another way to put out the flame at the Ox King's castle.
