Goku battles Yakon in a challenging environment that favors his opponent, prompting him to evolve his power form multiple times. Using increasingly advanced techniques, Goku fights to overcome the threat and progress to the next challenge.
Goku and Yakon start to fight. Goku is obviously stronger than Yakon, so Babidi changes the environment to mimic the Planet of Darkness, which is Yakon's home planet. To help himself see, Goku becomes a Super Saiyan. Yakon, the devourer of light, sucks up the light emitting from Goku. Seeing this, Goku again becomes a Super Saiyan, allowing Yakon to suck up all the light energy he can. Finally, he becomes a Super Saiyan 2 and gives off a flash of brilliant energy which is too much for Yakon to handle. Victorious, the fighters head to the next level.
