Is a separate character only thematically based on Broly.

That doesn't make Broly canon.

South Kai shows up next episode to offer his strongest champion for the Universe 7 Z Fighters team draft. A tall black hat is seen.

Piccolo immediately vaporizes him.

I hope it's the same dinosaur from all those years ago

this was a good episode for both piccolo and gohan, which isn't something I expected to say when super started. I appreciate piccolo addressing gohan being useless with buu. also it was funny to see gohan do the reverse of goku's original ss transformation and having the hair shift back and forth from blonde to black

We're going to see blue Gohan aren't we?

50/50 odds Gohan goes directly to Super Saiyan Blue 2. If we're on Frieza Standard Time and we've got like 30 hours to go there's no telling just how much stronger he'll get if they address the core weakness of Gohan, which I am kind of surprised Piccolo just spelled out here. We haven't had nearly as much meaningful interaction between Gohan and Piccolo since even the Cell Saga, and this was good.

If we can have skinny buu (which I guess we will see) I can hope for Adult Gohan in Piccolo Gi. Or Adult Gohan in Piccolo Colored Goku Gi, which might fit better and make him more distinct from both Goku and Piccolo

Everything changes, Pit.
Even gods.

its too bad we won't see piccolo and gohan fuse, since they used a lot of that gimmick last arc and it doesnt really fit gohan's progression here (or the rules of the tournament)

thats one of the things i keep hoping we get to see someday

i mean they can do it in dragonball fusions, but thats not as good and im sure they could come up with a better design

I think Gohan will probably get his own, unique transformation instead of just Blue. They brought back his "Mystic" form or whatever, to show he's not going the same Super Saiyan route Goku and Vegeta did, so I think they'll continue with that.

Also, I guess this finally tells us that he is supposed to be transforming for that form, and it isn't just base Gohan.

It's more of a transition than a transformation if that makes sense.

He's going from being relaxed, to having all of his power active at once without need of multipliers. Effortless maintaining of his true limitless power.

So now the key is to add a transformation ONTOP of that. Which, yeah, Goku and Piccolo have both confirmed that Gohan still hasn't peaked yet.

Because in Dragon Ball, if you need a sure fire way to go even further beyond, just turn to Gohan. Chances are he still has unlocked potential

That was a really good ep. Piccolo is such a good dad. I'm pretty happy to see "Mystic" Gohan again. DBS has been really good these oasft fews eps and i can't wait for the next episode. Bet hella those power level guys are mad Piccolo beat Gohan though. :v:

How the gently caress is he gonna feel when he looks back and realizes in horror how much he has changed, learned, grown, how little he knew when he was some shithot Prince there with Nappa on Earth,

And then he looks at Goku

My favorite part of the entire episode is loving Beerus, The Literal God of Destruction, being afraid to tell the truth about the universes being erased because he's afraid that Bulma will yell at him.

The best part about Piccolo getting screentime is that he probably has the funnest skillset out of all the Z-Warriors. Dude chokes out Gohan with tentacle arms and uses his disembodied hand to blast him in the back. It's like having a smart Buu on your team!

FemBroly's pics next to Cauliflower might be a red herring or a conjecture from the magazine's staff. Or maybe she has split personality a la Lunch.

The funniest joke in the episode is Gohan asking when Piccolo acquired this strange new stretching power.

Gohan somehow manages to be the dumbest person in an episode where a scrawny child asks a man with a gimpy leg to fight in a martial arts tournament.

edit: Also Yamcha.

I think Gohan's confusion was more "whoa Piccolo when did you gain the ability to beat the poo poo out of super saiyans like it ain't no thang". Piccolo wasn't even clearly being overpowered at any point and winning purely through trickery like Krillin was doing, he was pretty much going pound for pound with Gohan and then adding trickery on top to make sure he won.

I'm specifically thinking of their untransformed forms though. They got pretty different hairdos, outfits, and judging by body language pretty different personalities.

It's just funny that Dragon Ball is the kinda franchise that, when showing two different female character designs, everyone's first instinct is "wow that character got redesigned quick" instead of "oh a second female Saiyan".

It's entirely possible she's been redesigned since that original short promo vid.

I read Gohan and Piccolo's bout as Piccolo realizing Gohan - although strong as gently caress - was rusty and bad at actual fighting, relying on brute strength to overpower his opponents...except Piccolo had his number. It's not like he didn't match Super Saiyan power before either, he could go punch for punch with base SS and Gohan didn't seem to push himself very hard during that match.

I like Super establishing power levels ain't worth poo poo if you forget how to actually punch good.

Super Buu wasn't much of a fighter when Gohan kicked his rear end. Then he got clowned on by the combination of Picollo's smarts and Gotenks' power.
