In the Saban dub of Dragon Ball Z, this episode marks the start of the conflict between Nappa/Vegeta and Earth's Special Forces, even though Nappa technically doesn't start fighting until episode 18 (20-something in the non-censored version of the series).
The prior episodes mainly revolve around the training of Earth's Special Forces, so most of Saban's censorship in those episodes was related to Goku's misadventures in the afterlife (ie changing "Hell" to "Home for Infinite Losers" in episode 8). With this one, we start seeing absurd dialogue used to cover up mass carnage. Such as when Vegeta quips, "Too bad it's Sunday, those buildings would have been filled tomorrow" just SECONDS after literally destroying a city that was shown to be packed full of people. Aside from the censorship, the Saban dub for this episode and the rest of the Saiyan Saga is still good in my opinion, especially in terms of music, so I'd recommend it over the uncensored redub. Just be prepared for some of the most obvious attempts to cover up death.
