i wonder what this must have felt like to people watching in the eighties
loving the power pole lore in this episode
where was goku having to deal with the press constantly on his ass in dbz?
oolong trying to pass as goku might be the only time i've seen The Hammer in this series
damn, goku is getting the shit zapped out of him by this thunderstorm
seeing the lookout for the first time is awesome
wuh oh, goku is gonna fight mr popo
popo is just handing goku his ass. incredible
if anyone is willing to make/knows of a transparent version, i'd be greatful if you made/linked it to me
these piccolo updates are like a horror movie
so goku is gonna train in secret for three years without seeing any of his friends? damn, thats tough
with goku and the gang training in preparation for the tenkaichi budokai, its time to call it for the night. see you next time
this time, on dragon ball: goku does goku stuff
so kami has a teleporter he can use however he wants? damn
holy fuck, mt thunder goes straight up huh
why did you put the crown on goku? you fucking fool
haha, the birds name is pippi
goku learning to dodge the lightning makes me think the road to ultra instinct is definitely not unearned
"kami-sama's kami-sama" thanks, kid
so not only does the lookout have the hyperbolic time chamber, it has a fucking time travel room
good to know the crane hermit and roshi have been enemies this whole time
is it just me or does mutaito's dojo look a lot like the tenkaichi budokai place?
aw, the water can is labeled "life", how cute
goku's so strong they have to make him fight himself for an interesting fight during a stretch of episodes with little fighting
ok, but that fight was actually badass. it's cool to see goku getting stronger on the loookout. next time: more shenanigans
PLEX SERVER: WORKING
GOKU: STILL A KID
DICK: WHERE IT BELONGS
remember: when the creepy weird kid has a premonition about something terrible happening: it's probably nothing :)
the audio on this episode is FUCKED
thankfully it just seems like filler, but goku playing tag with popo is cool
holy shit, the volcano that this village built their whole religion around is erupting
lmao, i quit trying to follow along with the japanese audio being so far behind the show, but i still have the japanese subs on over the dub, and tien's motivation for saving the town is completely different
in the japanese version tien wants to save the town because if he can't even redirect the flow of the lava, how does he think he can beat goku, while in the dub he's just a nice guy :)
seems like tien wanting to beat goku in a fight is a much better reflection of his current state then him immediately being a cool dude but what do i know
dragon ball is a much better show when everyone is motivated by beating each others ass at first
i think by omitting the drive to beat a more powerful opponent from certain characters really helps undersell their transformation into good people: this is literally the core of vegeta's character and central to why so many people love him. he's not softened by goku because goku's just that good a dude: by wanting to surpass goku he eventually learns that part of what makes goku so strong is the way he interacts with the world around him and treats other people, and so by learning from that vegeta also becomes a better person in trying to surpass goku
to put it in a more pithy way: vegeta's desire to surpass goku is what makes vegeta a better dad than goku
yeah good ideas guys, blast the magma with energy beams. works like a charm
that was a nice conclusion to see them all combine their strength to beat the magma like that
next time: the 23rd tenkaichi budokai
i'm actually really excited for this. it's the last arc of dragon ball so it's bound to be super good and tie up all the loose ends so far. hoping for a satisfying conclusion to a fuckin great show
tenkaichi bootykai, the best booty under heaven
strap in, its the hottest tournament arc yet. we got:
piccolo
tenshinhan
adult goku
and yamcha
it's been three years since king piccolo died, and we haven't really seen much of goku and pals since leaving them in their training just after piccolo died. so it'll be cool to see how everyone's grown up
the title cards for the budokai episodes are always so badass. i love it
really didn't need to see roshi thirsting over bulma
seeing goku all grown up for the first time is incredible. my beautiful baby boy 😭
everyone's shown up! i was getting worried
damn, the first appearance of grown up piccolo is terrifying
fuck yeah. this arc is gonna be so good
goku vs tenshinhan rematch is gonna be awesome. same with goku vs piccolo
"we were just talking about how strong [piccolo] looks!" yeah good lie tenshinhan
damn poor chi chi, getting forgotten by her future husband
wow, tournament enrollment is actually down this time
> vegeta
> better dad than goku
anyway back to this volcano situation
