Planet Gurunda Exploration

“Raksasa Gurunda” (“Giant Gurunda”) is the 3rd episode of the first season of BoBoiBoy Galaxy, and the 3rd episode overall in the series.

Summary
BoBoiBoy and Gopal, having been iniated into TAPOPS, is sent on a mission on a planet called Gurunda.

Plot
The episode begins with BoBoiBoy and Gopal running away from something on another planet. The scene fades to a flashback of 5 hours ago.

5 hours ago, Koko Ci inaugurated them into TAPOPS as new Cadets. He gives them an easy mission since they are cadets (the lowest rank), but Gopal wanted a tough mission.

The scene fades back to the present where BoBoiBoy and Gopal are still running. They hide themselves behind a rock, and Gopal blames BoBoiBoy for their situation. BoBoiBoy retorts that Gopal is the one who wanted a tough mission. Suddenly, the thing is right behind them as it's still finding them. Another flashback from a few hours ago ensues.

A few hours ago, Koko Ci assigned Gopal and BoBoiBoy a mission: find a Power Sphera on Planet Gurunda. At that moment, Ying and Yaya entered the spaceship and greeted everyone as they had just returned from a holiday. Koko Ci gave BoBoiBoy and Gopal a tablet containing information about the planet, but Gopal threw it away as he thought they didn't need it. MotoBot returned their vehicles in the previous episode and the boys were ready for the mission.

On Planet Gurunda, Gopal quickly found the Power Sphera. Suddenly, something appeared and Koko Ci warned BoBoiBoy that it's a creature and it was after Gopal. BoBoiBoy transformed into BoBoiBoy Wind and used Wind-Surf to save Gopal from the creature's attack, urging Gopal to counter-attack. BoBoiBoy transformed into BoBoiBoy Lightning and used Lightning Dash to dodge its Thorn Attack. Its thorns tried to prevent them from escaping, BoBoiBoy then transformed into BoBoiBoy Earth and used Earth Smash to smash the thorns. The creature didn't let them escape, it hit its tail to the ground and both of them fell, they then continued running away from it.

Back in the present, the creature almost hits Gopal but it's fortunate for him that Yaya and Ying save him and BoBoiBoy just in time. They then reveal the creature is Gurunda Monster and the “Power Sphere” Gopal is holding turns out to be her egg, which explains why she chased and attacked him. Suddenly, the egg hatches and a baby Gurunda Monster was born, immediately attaching itself to Gopal and biting his hand. The mother Gurunda Monster becomes angry when Gopal hits her baby and continues chasing and attacking him.

BoBoiBoy and Yaya try to stop her while Gopal tries to get the baby off of his hand. Ying urges him to transform cactuses down in a ravine into bubblegum so as to keep the mother Gurunda Monster calm down. She then runs to BoBoiBoy as she hears his yell and urges him to use his power to throw the mother Gurunda Monster down the ravine. Although doubtful, BoBoiBoy successfully throws the Monster down the ravine. The bubblegum breaks her fall and Gopal gives the baby back to her.

The problem is finally solved, but Koko Ci is disappointed in BoBoiBoy and Gopal because they did not complete the mission. As punishment, they aren't allowed to return to Earth until the mission is completed, and Koko Ci inaugurates Ying and Yaya into TAPOPS as new Lance Corporals. They, along with Ochobot, stay to help BoBoiBoy and Gopal complete their mission.
