Aired November 12, 1986 · 25 min
Synopsis
Failing to defeat Goku with the boomerang shuriken, Murasaki resorts to his final ninjutsu, the Bunshin no Jutsu (Split-Image Technique). Somehow multiplying into five, the Murasakis each draw different weapons. Unable to determine which is the real one, Goku is forced to retreat. It is later revealed that the Murasakis are actually a set of quintuplets. Realizing they are all genuine, Goku quickly uses the Zanzouken to defeat four of them in an instant. With no further options, Murasaki summons Artificial Human No. 8.
