seeing goku all grown up for the first time is incredible. my beautiful baby boy ðŸ˜
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
having chaozu there to fix the numbers is a really great writing decision. easy explanation as to why everyone is in different blocks
poor chapa-o. he's about to get his ass beat
lmao. knocked out in one chop
OH FUCK I FORGOT TAO PAI PAI IS HERE TOO
so the main tournament participants after the qualifier will probably be: goku, tenshinhan, piccolo, tao, yajirobe, and chi chi. thats my guess
maybe krillin instead of yajirobe or chi chi, idk
this episode is called the chosen eight, so we'll see if my predictions come true
damn, piccolo and tao are brutalizing people
goku, ten, krillin, yamcha, piccolo, tao pai pai, chi chi, and... some rando??? really thought yajirobe couldamade it
oh my god, these matchups are gonna be so good
tao vs tenshinhan
goku vs chi chi
krillin vs piccolo
and that random guy vs yamcha
i hope we get yamcha vs piccolo. it would be a shame for him to get eliminated in the first round
krillin is a short king but unfortunately there's no way he's winning against piccolo
it would destroy the inevitable goku vs piccolo matchup
next time: tao vs ten. super excited to watch this
"What are they doing" why, oolong, they're saving on the animation budget
oh fuck, tao just whipped out a sword
what a fuckin fight. incredible
i wonder how tenshinhan's arc is going to develop as the tournament goes on tho. that seemed like a really unsatisfying conclusion to all the crane hermit stuff
"what's a bride?"
goku continues to be a goofball
also chi chi could absolutely hand ass to people, god damn
what the fuck? how come we never get to see goku punch the air like that again?
i always thought a bride was some kind of food
"i love you"
"what's that mean?"
i am LOSING IT
oh yeah, the next fight is krillin vs piccolo
pretty sure this is the only time this ever happens
i love how piccolo uses the cape against krillin here
shen is fucking terrifying dude
having your attacks look like clumsiness is wild
damn, yamcha got his ass beat by shen
and we're back. i'm getting rather tired of doing live commentary because i don't really have much of anything interesting to say tbh
goku is absolutely toying with tenshinhan right now. ten is going all out and breathing super heavy while goku is just chill and relaxed
just ONE of goku's shoes is FIFTY POUNDS
i'm seeing double! eight tenshinhans!
clever of them to put the ad break just as goku is knocked out after getting hit by ten's eye beams
HOLY SHIT. GOKU USED SOLAR FLARE
goku vs tenshinhan was pretty good, but not as good as the last one
i think next is shen vs piccolo, then the main event: goku vs piccolo. sgonna be good
it's actually a little disappointing that tenshinhan's character note and development was sidelined for vegeta to get the role as "always trying to surpass goku". i think it would be neat to have a way to stretch the limits of mortal endurance vs goku's basically insane limits as a saiyan in the forthcoming z
"How much more amazing can Goku possibly get?"
-Krillin, before Goku even learns the kaioken
piccolo vs shen is gonna be intense with this kinda buildup
fuck dude, this fight is the highest display of raw power yet. what the fuck
also i actually kinda like how gravity is still a thing despite flight becoming more common when fighting, which is something that basically disappears in z
god damn, if thats how a one episode plot relevant fight went, goku vs piccolo is going to be wild
"Beating opponents who are strong enough to excite him is all he wants." truer words have never been spoken of goku
@CyclopsCaveman damn i need to watch original dragon ball huh
the fights epic but i gotta go to bed, so next time we'll start with the fight in earnest
