Episode 9 - This episode begins with Drona's revenge against King Drupada for reneging on a promise to share his wealth with his former schoolmate. The princes have come of age, and perform a demonstration of their battle skills. The pageant is interrupted by a mysterious Suta, son of a charioteer, named Karna. Karna has an inexplicable resentment for Arjun and challenges him. Duryodhana is delighted with the turn of events, and quickly befriends Karna.
When the battle is about to commence, the master of ceremonies asks him to recite his lineage. Karna reveals that he is from a lower class, so Duryodhana rectifies the situation by making him King of Anga. The day is over by then, so nothing is settled between Karna and Arjuna.
Later, Duryodhana schemes to have the Pandavas sent to a neigboring town, and has a house built for them that is highly flammable. The house burns down, but the boys escape with their mother. While in the woods, there is a brief episode where Bhima fights with a Rakshasa and kills him. Bhima marries the Ogre's sister and fathers a powerful half-breed son.
The brothers then wander off incognito, until they settle down in a small town called Ekachakra. We leave them there until the next episode!
