With his cyber-eye, Goku does research on a weapon that could overcome the villain's telekinesis and finds the answer is teleporting missiles. In the end, Zenzo has Goku on the ropes but is too distracted to notice the hero's car shooting a missile from the side and is blown to LudicrousGibs when it warps into his body.
