So that means that, if my calculations are correst, which they're usually not, but still, then the next episode will be Piccolo VS 17 and will end with Cell's arrival. The episode after that will be Cell VS 17 and 16 and with him absorbing 17, probably ending the episode with Semi Perfect Cell grinning.

Which means only more episodes of Imperfect Cell. I'll miss him when he's gone, but until then I'll treasure his awesomeness.

Well that was an ordeal considering my labtop apparently just hates loading videos now. Still, great episode.

Hmm. Someone can explain to me why Mr Popo acted off?

Goku pointed it out, but, I didn't noticed the reason.

I can't wait to see how Dende and Popo get along.

Maybe they'll bond over their hatred of Krillin.

Well, only Dende seems to really hate Krillin. Popo doesn't really like anyone.

This episode brought up something I've been wondering about, when Goku went into the time chamber as a kid did we see what he was actually doing?

Also, how long was he in there, I think he could only last two months right?

Popo doesn't seem to hate Krillin but he does like picking on him specifically.

Oh god.

Him and Dende really are going to get along great....

Unless they surprise us by having Krillin actually remember his name.

He didn't remember Whiskers the wonder cat name, so I highly doubt it.

I can't believe I f'cking missed that. Sadly, that joke's going to lose the punchline years later when we have to match up the date of when Naruto itself ended and the episode was uploaded... although, I suppose that's what TV Tropes is for.

Though I like the joke with Chi Chi wanting another baby, sex jokes about Goku always leave an awkward taste in my mouth because the thought of this Goku having sex seems more like sexual assualt than sex with an adult fit to consent.

I'm impressed he hates the though. We all know he's going to do it sooner or later, but, i'm curious how was Goku first time...

Must've been painful.

Possibly not, since he was much closer to her in strength then than now. However, we know that they have had some sort of sex life since, considering Chi Chi's "special mouth present" at Christmas.

Also, he might have some idea of what sex is, since he didn't want Christmas getting raped.

Man, Lord Slug Abridged was odd.

Bullshit, even Dragonball Goku literally took Chi-Chi out with a stiff breeze.

It's not a stiff breeze we're talking about Goku taking Chi Chi with, though.

[up] That, yes.

Like any other part of the Cell Saga that claims ostensible connections to events from earlier in Dragon Ball, the Room of Spirit and Time is a completely new plot device masquerading as a Call-Back, and does not actually make any sense for it to have existed at the point in continuity to which it claims to reference.

But don't let that stop you from enjoying the fruits of Dr. Gero's dedication to avenging Commander Red's shortness.

Well now we know that Android 16 was modeled after Gero's son and his son died while working for the Red Ribbon Army, so that gives Gero plenty of reason to want Goku dead. Plus Gero made most of the Army's tech so at the very least he lost his job when Goku wiped out the RRA.

The Room comment wasn't trying to make it a call back but simply adding more information about it. We know Goku spent three years at the lookout that was off-screen so adding a trip to the Room fits and gives Goku the knowledge needed to think of using it and introduce it to everyone.

It'd be one thing if it were added at a previouz point where we were following Goku on-screen, but it'd only take up roughly 2 hours of a 3 year period we saw nothing of.

It also serves to explain why it wasn't used before, Goku couldn't handle it. Although the limited usage allowed and the fact that they had more time available in previous arcs does a better job justifying its disuse.

Agreed.

The Room wasn't that hard to slip into the series, since there's three whole years where we never see exactly how Goku is training.

TFS Plays: DragonBall Z Budokai 3 -4-

Tien vs. Super Buu. With Gotenks and Piccolo absorbed. Or, technically, just Gotenks absorbed gameplay-wise, what with the way I remember the Budokai games working.

So based on this wiku guide thing that explains how the stats in Dragon Universe mode actually work, Kaiser's not made the wisest choices with that Tien playthrough.
