Finally resumed my DBZ rewatch with the Garlic Jr. saga. It's good fun - I liked this one a lot when I watched it on Cartoon Network however many years ago it was and I enjoy it now because it gives Piccolo, Gohan and Krillin their last big chance to shine before Trunks arrives and Goku and Vegeta come back.

I remember at that time, I really loved it when you saw references to Dragon Ball (or the movies) in DBZ, because DB didn't get a proper "here's how it all began" broadcast on Toonami until after GT had aired in its entirety. See also: Cyborg Tao showing up in the Cell saga and flashbacks to Goku competing in the World Martial Arts Tournament as a kid.

Did anyone ever see an anime called Ultimate Muscle (Kinnikuman Nisei), which was about superhero pro wrestlers from outer space? Similar thing - it was a sequel to an earlier series (the anime of which I'm pretty sure must have been one of the prototypical modern shonen series) which never broadcast here, but every so often they'd allude to stuff that had happened in the original one and I really enjoyed that.

No, Dragonball definitely aired before GT. It was shown around when the Buu saga was airing, with GT premiering a couple years after that.

This in all in the US mind you. It was probably different in other countries.

(I'm reasonably sure DB did have an attempted airing pre-DBZ but I never saw it.)

I know what you mean about those flashbacks. They really gave the Dragon Ball world this sense of myth to me as a kid- they weren't just the past, but this pieces of this legend I was getting glimpses of from time to time, and those rumors of GT being like prophecies of a future that had yet to unfold.

Of course I've tempered on those feelings since then, but it's fun to think back to them from time to time.

I feel like the drama of Goku's death is nullified by the fact that one of the people discovering his corpse just died and got wished back a few months ago. Also, Gohan and Goten, you're dad was dead for the majority of both of your childhoods. Don't get all melodramatic now.

Biggest news of this episode is that Goten no longer finds Gohan's Saiyaman outfit cool. Goten is now the worst character.

I mean, if the stake is the whole Universe 7 being destroyed, would it be so crazy to just resurrect Frieza and go "Look dipshit, this universe you've been trying to rule is about to be completely gone, so you better do your part and help!" instead of bringing frigging Roshi, Tien or Krillin?

edit: nvm, forgot Krillin is supposed to be there to die and give Goku the proper motivation to reach SSGSS4

Unless Hell is also going to be destroyed Frieza is exactly the kind fo guy who'd throw a fight and doom reality to spite Goku.

It is. The only reason Frieza ever went to Hell is because he died on Earth (or that's how I understood it worked).

That makes a lot of sense since Goku clearly knew about and was expecting the hit long before Hit got the job.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
I really, really wish someone had bothered to design pre-teen Goten and Trunks. Just a visual reminder that Goten's actually a bit older now would help sell that scene even better.

Surprisingly tense episode, really dug the atmosphere during it.

It's annoying that Trunks and Goten haven't aged at all, but neither did Goku until there was a timeskip. They're only like 8 or 9 here, aren't they? Goku was a teenager throughout Dragonball.

it's almost like the creators know this when even Gohan during the preview narration says this isn't the first time but it's still kinda shocking to see his dad die

True, though Uub got a few good hits in.

Starving children did pretty well in Dragon Ball, all things considered.
