From Dragon Ball episode 91. Master Shen, also known as The Crane Hermit, tries to assassinate Goku in his sleep to avenge his brother, the mercenary Tao Pai Pai.
This is technically a non-canon filler scene, which you can tell because the Crane Hermit/Master Shen invented the sky dance technique, the technique used by humanoid earthlings to fly without wings or other physical means, but he doesn’t fly at all here. Makes for a cooler visual with the whole ninja schtick (which is a bit weird the longer you think about it since the crane school uniforms and fighting styles are more drawn from Chinese culture and specifically crane style kung fu than Japanese ninjutsu, as is the case with most dragon ball characters since they’re based on journey to the west, but it wouldn’t be the first time Toriyama mixed in Japanese cultural elements so that could be overlooked), but is a bit confusing in terms of the actual plot line. Granted, I don’t recall if this scene was before or after showing chiaotzu and tien fly for the first time, so maybe they just wanted to keep the flying thing a surprise? Still a bit silly though, sir you don’t need a rope to propel off that roof, just glide down and stop being a dramatic weeb.
Crane doesn't fly here because at this point in the series, flying takes a lot of energy and in the japanese sub, Goku makes a remark about them not being very fast while flying in the air.
Crane wears heart patterned pajamas, so I wonder if Tenshinhan and Chiaotzu wear the same pair. Or maybe they use the nightgown they had in movie 3, and Shen is just the most stylish out of all of them.

DB was essentially a 70s/80s kung fu movie, & it was excellent
Tien's third eye waking him is such a cool detail. I miss when Dragon Ball cared about the small stuff.
“Your heart is cold and ruthless. It warms my own” 😂😂❤
It’s always sunny out when you are as cool

People were sleepin on Funimation's choice of dialog back then. So poetic.
Goku:
I'll admit the classic is definitely the best.
"your heart is cold and ruthless, it warms my own"
No matter whats going on watching og dragon ball is always so refreshing
I’ve been looking for this scene online forever.
When Tien and Master Crane were talking it reminded me of Hiei and Kurama interacting in Yu Yu Hakusho, mainly because of their voice actors
Master Roshi sleeps with glasses on?

This was a good filler
What an amazing vibe, DB OG, it's totally on another level.
Ultra instinct saving Goku again.
