I mean, no, what Saiga is saying that Goku only took two months to get Grade II, and Gohan had to go Super before then.

Regarding the whole Supreme Kai thing, couldn't they just retcon it so that the Grand Supreme Kai was the Supreme Kai of that generation, the Southern Supreme Kai was his attendant and his possible successor, and Shin and the other two were either Kais or Shinjins that the (Grand) Supreme Kai saw potential in, and being the nice guy that he was, decided to take them all under his wing along with his attendant to give them all an equal chance of proving themselves as capable of succeeding him?

[up][up]He's basing that on how fast Vegeta got it, but Vegeta was working on his own towards that end while Goku had to help Gohan get to SSJ first.

What? No. Goku got Gohan to start trying to become a Super Saiyan right away, without training up his power first.

It's heavily implied they did that in one sitting, as there are no cuts to them taking a break or training in something else, and Gohan's hair doesn't grow while they're doing it.

So the Universal Survival arc begins next week, right?

Thing is, that assumes that Gohan either had the required power already or there is no required amount of power.

The latter can't be, otherwise Gohan and Goku would've transformed any other of the times they got very angry.

It could be that Gohan reached that level in the three years of training, but while you say that it's a single sitting, we don't actually know. We don't get accurate time stamps of Goku and Gohan's training in the chamber.

...So, Saiga, do you have a copy of the manga in front of you like a normal nerd, or do you actually have it all memorized.

Because the fact that you know about Gohan's hair length is kinda scary.

So, if we either or steal all your manga, then we can steal your power?

Alright. Time to riot.

Also, 76 is down. Krillin finally gets to hit something with the Destructo Disk (only for it to fail once again), and puts on his game face (via shaven head).

Next week, Bra finally decided to join the party, and the big tournament finally starts.

Well, not the pot like we thought he would be, that's for sure.

As for shaving his head again, Krillin unleashes his full power when he loses his hair.

Or maybe not. He's died more times bald then not bald.

You've got to explain why he's bald again for the next arc. Clearly. It's the one character design they always seem to want to explain.

I'm more curious as to how on earth Gohan found his gi again.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

Krillin has made the mistake of being Wrong Genre Savvy. He's trying to do the whole Let's Get Dangerous! thing, but he's forgotten he's in DBZ, where the size and color of your hair is vital.

OK, so I have a question: did they recast Android 18 in Super like they did in Kai, or is she still Meredith Mc Coy?

[up][up]

It's a trade off. Baldness brings him power, but he's more likely to come down iwht a pesky case of death.tongue

2 deaths bald, 1 death with hair. The math is infallible.

[up][up]The Kai cast is pretty much the standard now (minus Trunks).

I am wrong. It is indeed Meredith McCoy.

I'd thought she retired from voice acting?

This is gonna be weird hearing her dub for 18 in Super and hearing friggin' Luffy from One Piece voicing her in Kai.

I wish there had been a little more oomph to the end of Goku and Krillin's adventure in the Forest of Terror. Something a little more personal and catharsis-y than Dynamite Punch-ing a dragon in the face. Awesome as that was.

Also, I wish Goku had gotten his own challenge that taught him a lesson too. That whole thing was custom built for Krillin, and Goku was just kind of there. It wasn't his problem, and so it was effortless to figure out what the point was and do what he needed to do. I'd even say he got the message better than Krillin did, in a way I wouldn't expect from him.

But then, I guess Goku doesn't really have any personal fears that a plot like this can really go to town with. Inadequacy? He just takes that as an excuse to get stronger. His own power? He has boundless - and largely justified - confidence about his place in the universe. Hell, even though he definitely feels righteous anger and pain when it happens, I don't think he even fears losing people or failing to save them. What's it gonna do, materialize a giant needle?

In any case, I'm yet again left intrigued and clueless about what Super has in mind for the future of Krillin's character.

I assume Vegeta would see an increasingly unmatchable Goku, and maybe himself as Majin Vegeta.
