Damn it, the new ending is really catchy. Even if it is preppy idol music. Especially because it's preppy idol music.

I'd laugh if it turns out that the wish of the Pilaf Gang in Trunk's future was not JUST youth, but immortality as well. Because why not? XD

Well, the fight wasn't bad. Neither Goku nor Black went all out, so Goku still has Super Saiyan God in his favour, but Black has secrets as well.

Bringing back time machine Cell used is a pretty nice call back. It's a little banged up, but probably easier to fix when it's in one piece.

Mai is somehow still alive. I suppose we'll see what the deal with that is eventually, but next week, we get more of the relationship that brings me to a frothing rage...though I don't even know why I bother. It's happening, and I just gotta deal with it I suppose. When Toriyama wants to do something, how much sense it makes just doesn't matter in the least.

Still enjoying Super.

The fight was pretty cool. I don't think Black can go Super Sayian, which is probably for the best or everyone would be really screwed.

Well it's kinda weird that Trunks considers SSJ 3 to be Goku's trump card. I know he doesn't know about SSB but still, it's like the show forgot that this isn't happening immediately after Buus saga and Goku is hell of a lot stronger now.

Seems Trunks can't even tell if someone is dead while holding them. Or she came back to life with the power of love.

From the next episode preview it seems like Goku just forgot who Pilaf gang was.

That would be ignoring that Vegeta basically spelled it out that both he and Goku were way more powerful than they actually showed him.

I wouldn't use the previews to tell anything about the future episodes. They're intentionally misleading.

I'm still waiting for them to ask Future Trunks why his hair is suddenly blue?

There's also the fact that Vegeta also said that Goku never takes a fight immediately seriously, which is funny considering that's exactly what he was criticizing Black of doing.

That said, neither Goku or Black have showed off their true potential and Black is at least strong as a post-god training SSJ 2 Goku.

So he skips SSJ2 last episode, but uses it this one? That's making no sense...that Carrot is da weird one.

Also...I'm not sure I would've enjoyed this as much without the characters saying "that black guy" occasionally and so casually.

[up]Regular SSJ has that bangs covering the entire forehead, and that one big one in the middle that looks really ridiculous from the side if it's badly drawn.

The main differentiation is that Goku has a big ass forelock in SSJ 2 similar to Gohan when he uses the form, and eyes are more narrow.

Like so

Except he was apparently only using Super Saiyan in this episode, like how they were using Super Saiyan 2 in the last episode but they still had the SS1 hairstyle.

Future Trunks must've given Blooma that time machine at some point...because she left really quick after they found Cell's molt...shell.

[up][up]

Actually, in addition to the electricity that a signature of SSJ 2, Goku also had that forelock that [up][up][up] mentioned, so he was using SSJ 2.

I kept wondering why he constantly seemed to look like Gohan at some points.

@Shlugo: How is it weird? Trunks doesn't know about SSB, so of course he would think SS 3 is his trump card.

Trunks isn't psychic.

Super saiyan 2 has sparks, the one before it does not. I don't know why you all are counting hairs.

Well, I hear the story that TOEI had been drawing sparks long before the manga used that as the indicator for super saiyan 2 but after twenty one years I'm sure even TOEI learned to stop drawing them where they're not supposed to be.

There is literally no difference between Super Saiyan 1 and 2 Vegeta' hair.

Isn't SSJ hair more of a solid mass, while 2's is more detailed and spikier?

No, that was just laziness...and it's kinda funny because in Tenkaichi 3 they does that for Namek Saga Carrot...but Boo saga Carrot has detailed SSJ hair anyway.

I don't get why they did that distinction, but they gotta follow every bit of detail down to the dot.

I thought is was because of the firelight making some of his hair purple.
