Japanese Dragon Ball GT - Episode Summaries Episode 3 - The Ultimate Moneygrubbers!! Imegga, Planet of Merchants Dragonball GT Episode
3 Chou Gametsui!!
Shounin no Wakusei Imegga Life in the ship
is pretty rough for Suddenly, the ship
lurches, and one of the engines floats off.
Trunks goes into shock. Bulma’s computers
match up the loose part as a stabilizer component—her
glee turns to horror. She hopes that the trio will
be ok. The ship is suffering from severe backfire,
and Trunks tells the two kids to strap in. Pan
doesn’t want to die until she can at least have her
first real date (and hell with the Dragon Balls.) They
reach a planet, and Trunks takes them down for a rough
landing. The
heroes reach a nearby market town, and are quickly
overwhelmed by merchants that tell them how good they
look in various silly costumes.
Trunks says that they are only interested in
space ship parts, and merchants whip out loose ship
components. All of the bills are presented, and
the trio has tomorrow to pay them off. The trio
cautiously enter a hotel, fearful of finding more
merchants. They
get a room, while complaining of the prices of their
trinkets. The concierge assures them that he is
not as money grubbing. A robot bellboy treats
Gokuu as luggage, and takes them to their room. It
is a really impressive room, with lots of comfortable
furniture and food.
All of which is really expensive and is being
added to their tab (the bellrobot won’t release Gokuu
until getting a tip.) Trunks watches TV (charged
to the room) -- the news broadcast introduces the leader
of Planet Imegga—Don Kia (a blank-faced dweeb with
lots of make-up). The
trio escape the room (Trunks has to break the chain
holding him to the bed) and find themselves out in the
rain a night. Pan complains about this horrible
planet, and she wants to return to Earth. She
falls through a paper-thin wall, into the apartment of a
poor Imeggan family.
The family is what is known in Japan as “the
honest poor”—moneyless, but still happy in having
their own integrity. The Imeggans explain that
people here are so money hungry because of Don Kia.
Then, the rent police arrive. This Imeggan
family is behind on their rent to Don Kia, so the robots
of the rent police dismantle the apartment and take the
last of the furniture. Gokuu volunteers to fight
the robots, but the Imeggans dismiss him as being just a
child; they are afraid of the might of Don Kia’s
soldiers. With no reason to fight the robots, the
trio wait until morning and return to the village.
They are willing to let the poor Imeggan family suffer
under the rules set by other Imeggans. - - Kyle Steinhauser

Trunks, who wants to get the main
control key from Pan so that they can return to Earth.
Pan counters by dropping the key down her shirt.
Trunks gives up. On Earth, Chichi is hoping that
Gokuu and company are doing ok, after having spent one
week in space already. Bulma is studying with her
computers, but she can’t figure out what the loose
component was. Pan is also bossing the other two
around, assigning housekeeping chores to them.
Trunks isn’t so upset about this, as he is about Pan
calling him “Trunks”, instead of “Trunks-san”.
