dragon ball stupor
here we go

Alright do the countdown

six
five
4
3
fuck it let's just go

Here we go
I guess blue-ki balls can revive people

>>326954
he basically just shocked his heart back into beating like a defib

Huh
I guess that makes some sense

Hit's gotten a lot stronger too, since his fight with Goku, can like... go spectral now, I assume by literally moving into the future throught the 4th dimension

>>326956
yeah he's found interesting ways to use that time

It's cool how they've decided to go more of a HxH-like route with this new season, in terms of powers
It's not just "I am really big" and "But I'm BIGGER" anymore, it's like
"I'm really big", "but I'm almost as big AND I can do X"
>>326959
Power scaling is like the main complaint the fanbase has always really had with the show, too, so
Consistency isn't what anyone's watching DB for

yeah power scaling is ruined in dragon ball super
which tbh is for the best although there's consistency issues

>>326958
i'm glad they're ditching it
i just assume basically everyone's maxed out and now they're just trying to be efficient
like new transformations just make them less fatigued or have faster feedback/response time
rather than just HURR IM STRUNGER NOW

BUNSHIN NO JUTSU

Everyone's basically at practical max, but Beerus is at an elevated max, is how I see the power levels at this point

This is a lot cooler than the fights in DBZ

dbz didn't have fight choreography
just tension and narrative
you just had the fist-clashing copypastes to show that someone was way outmatched or that they were somewhat even

Oh yeah, that's true

they actually took some effort with choreography in these fights, like cabba's fight
i was pretty excited to see actual things happening

I love how detailed everything is, and then there's not-beerus over here just... a blob

So what, he can skip time, and then somehow stop time for whatever amount he has skipped?

kind of like borrowing the time if that makes sense

Yeah

rekt

Also he got owned by buu, and never beat him on his own again, either

did he actually ever beat anybody on his own

Uh, Vegeta, Frieza and, I mean obviously everyone he's fought in a tournament

Actually wait
ROSHI OWNED GOKU AND NEVER GOT PAYBACK

>vegeta
pretty sure he relied on his toddler child to handle that for him

Dude Goku has destroyed Vegeta many times since then

they really draw out the exposition a little too much
we got the idea a long time ago

SO DEEP I CANT SEE THE BOTTOM

I love how audience is "gallery" in Japanese
It's like the actual opposite

For a moment I actually thought there was some sauce his grandmother made for him as a kid

man i would be fuckin with whis all the time if i were him
oh these episodes are next haha
you ready?

Yeah, I'm ready

alright let's go
starto

Videl has become really womanly

yeah she never got over the spopovich beatdown
it broke her spirit and her mind
i'm surprised she can still have a child tbh

Maybe they used a wish or something

nah the senzu bean
man that scene is crazy though

BARRI KANN

Amazed Satan hasn't been in a movie before now

now that i think about it, gohan's fighting spirit never recovered after super buu

She's like, 16 at most, Satan what the hell

it's mr satan's daughter what do you expect you little shit
you ain't but a flea to the satan family

How does anyone not recognize the daughter of like, literally the most popular man on this planet

single-handedly saved the planet from cell
which was publicized globally

They're famous for not using wires, but you use stunt doubles?

who the fuck would be famous for not using wires lmao

Especially since it's not even him that isn't using wires, it's his stunt double
Fucking celebs

In reality Gohan is just really pumped to get to be Saiya-man again

he's such a nerd he would still be doing it every day i bet if he wasn't married

Yeah, he'd be out there catching muggers and stuff instead if his mom hadn't made him become a doctor or something

hue hue videl's gettin giddy over it too

Videl and Gohan are both such nerds

such a sweet relationship they have
too bad reality can't be like that

They're a great couple

Gohan why can't you just use the door?

You planned a robbery in literally one day?

probably why it got fucked up

Yeah
To be fair, they'd have been fucked with Krillin there anyway
Well, not now that the alien brainslug is in this guy

Like the fucking CITY is named after Satan, and there are famous people who don't recognize his daughter
He must have an incredible manager to separate stuff that well

gurato saiyaman beamu

>>327013
he thinks she'd woo over an actor celebrity when she's the only child in the most celebrated family in the world
like what

Haha yeah
It's like a princess getting hot and bothered over some guy who just tells good jokes at a pub

Amazing how they just use cardboard dropbacks and stuff considering the tech level in DBZ

only for close-up shots where they need specific lighting

Do they still do that today, actually?

Sure, people make sets for stuff like that and they go do all the work that needs that set at once, then go film the bigger parts at a different time

Oh jeez

Oh this is a cool ED

most of them are
some are super shoneny though

Well it's dragonball
It wouldn't be DB if it didn't do a lot of cliche shonen stuff hahah

I gotta head to the WC real quick

okay i'ma grab my meds

Okay I'm back

same
okay let's start

Alright I'm ready

Do they ever change the OP, or just the ED?

they change parts of the OP
depending on the saga
yeah this looks like it's still the starting OP
there's other animations in the op later but it's the same song i believe

Ah I see
That's a nice way of doing it, really

I'm STILL a little miffed we didn't get Flow's CHA LA HEAD CHA LA tbh

"they must be filming"
My dude he's literally flying

haha
that was pretty good

Oh so it's like a parasite that makes you Majin
That's neat

The music is really ominous for something we all know Videl will just accept as Gohan being a fucking nerd

>hey, what was the name of that family that was the most celebrated and socially powerful in the world? the satans? Yeah, that's it. Let's try and blackmail them lol

She's really bland for an idol

Oh yeah just blackmail the great saiyaman who can lift a fucking bus on his little finger you dork

and is married into the Satan family
while living in Satan City
no media outlet would touch your garbage scoop

SHOWS UP IN PERSON
Dude he could like
Rip you to shreds right here and NOBODY would know

>GRABS THIS GUY BY THE COLLAR
MY MAN YOU ARE INSANE

>who do they think i am
who do you think you are

Oh yeah of course he's the parasite's target

He got THAT strong?

That brat is stronger than you lmao

nigga got knocked out by that?
he took harder blows from piccolo when he was three

oh boy inflation fetishists on deviantart are gonna enjoy this

Also evolutionary regression
Which I have to assume is a thing

Man Gohan is so out of shape

>inspiration
uh, yeah, okay

There's a way to access the top of that sphere by foot?

can't let her see a man die but it's okay to see him boil out of his skin and mutate into a giant monster

You'd think he'd just go SSJ and get this over with

no way he's in character
he's living his dream

Oh boy here we go

Oh yeah that def won't kill him

You don't wanna go see if the dude you just blew half across the city from the sky is alright?

>saiyaman versus mr satan
>he's fighting a giant monster
ok

wait are we already getting to the recruiting arc?
i thought twhat we just watched was pre-zamasu
did you already slog through the zamasu bit?s

I guess so?
anyway I'm ready for the next ep

Oh no, zamasu is done and done
He became the skybox and then ge got owned by the all-god

thank god that's past. i did not want to sit through that garbage again
it was the fucking worst
there were some -- nevermind let's just move forward

yeah do the thing

start

there were points that zamasu saga had some good momentum and could have been channeled into something good
but everything got more and more muddled
the writing got really roundabout and unsatisfying
like they could have had future bulma die while vegeta was there for instance and he woulda got to meet her and lose his shit and blow up zamasu

It was such a dumb arc

Despite the dragon and his 7 perfectly round balls showing up in every intro, neither actually feature much past the Frieza saga, do they?

que?

Shenron and stuff
The show's called Dragonball, but after Frieza the Dragonball part of the show became a lot less of the focus hahah

I mean we've got the GALAXY DRAGON or something in DBS, but that's been once in at least a full year

yeah
after that it was just borrowing the dragonballs from bulma because she always has all of them at all times

Every 'san' in my subs is italized
Goku san

Otherwise known as the son of possibly the strongest biological being in the universe

They have literally the same VA and voice, director-san, you can't have them talk without showing who's talking

How is there so much fucking crime

18 is brutal

Wow 18 with the muscle-shaming

Goku as like, actually base form at ep1 was stronger than Krillin is now

Of dragon ball

yeah this is basically the start of the recruiting saga oh boy

I'm amazed Krillin let himself go like this, especially being a cop

>a race
I mean Goku sorta decides who wins this one

>this is more like a marathon
goku it's been seven seconds

I don't understand how Goku is capable of even getting winded just running around at regular human speed

Oh fuck the whole place is a bad trip

Oh hey it's uh
um
the
guy I don't even remember the name of
one of frieza's grunts?

>>327098
Naw the guy with the wings
The one he was so worried about

krillin is literally getting spooked by nappa
lol

jeice?
oh
i don't remember apul having wings but maybe one of them did

Maybe
It's not weird for krillin to be scared, but Goku shouldn't even be worried
None of these people, even powered 10 times up stand a chance against his SSJ1 anymore

okay ready?
let's start

ye

At least they give us orchestral CHA LA every now and then

lmao piccolo looks the most confirdent but the piccolo here has gotta be the weakest one

what it's A GUY from a tournament?

it's from durgon ball

Krillin's been killed by like the entire cast so no wonder he's fucking scared

wtf

Jesus Christ toriyama

lol
they bring out the tense music for something nobody cares about

we keep goin?

I can keep going but I gotta do a shoprun first for some snacks, maybe a bread

Could take like half an hour, but after that I'm good to go again

go for it man, get somethin tasty

I've been buying these snack sausages with garlic and stuff lately
They're real good
Very salty too

I bet they go super well with beer, but I don't really like drinking much

that sounds good
i should snack more
the only thing ive been eating these days is alcohol

you can keep goin without me if im not here when youre back

Alright
I can wait too, if you wanna keep watching, I don't mind either way really

ive seen all these eps so it's no big deal
some are worth rewatching but probably not the recruiting episodes
they're like...
it's like if you let interns write your episodes for a season
but it gave them the free resources and time to put heavy effort into the tournament

Oh I see

I am back
I got cheese puffs or whatever
And also some snack sausages

home for infinite losers was pretty cool not gonna lie
i like it even more now
