Key Instances of Goku's Tail Loss
The reference states that Goku lost his tail "three times," with two of those instances explicitly described:
- Puar's Scissors: The first time Goku lost his tail was when Puar, a shapeshifting companion, transformed into a pair of scissors and cut it off. This occurred while Goku had transformed into a Great Ape in Pilaf's Castle. This was a critical intervention to stop his destructive rampage.
- Burning in Fire Mountain: Another instance of Goku losing his tail was when he burned it as he was flying over the burning Fire Mountain. This demonstrates a different, more accidental, method of loss.

|---|---|---|
| First Loss | Cut off by Puar | In Pilaf's Castle, while Goku was in his Great Ape form. |
| Later Loss | Burned | While flying over the burning Fire Mountain. |
