Oh poor Videl, I am now having so much more respect for her now that I'm older.

Her only fight & she gets brutalized. Makes ya think there's a message here about women & fighting & what not.

[up]X5, It's not one or the other. Goku and Vegeta shouldn't have to do everything, but if you want to get the others involved, there's a right and wrong way to do it. Just going "they're suddenly strong enough to help" is neither compelling, engaging, nor logical, at least not if you have more concerns than just "too much Goku and Vegeta".

I liked how this entire episode was essentially a fighting based Secret Test of Character from Goku to basically everybody... with the twist being that it's also a test for himself as well. Guy may be acting the fool a lot in this storyline, but let it not be said that he's not cunning and wise in his own way.

Though after that con-job on 18, he should probably sleep with one eye open after this tournament is over.

Yeah. Why the hell are they still insisting on not telling the others about the losing universes are destroyed part?

It's dumb.

Gohan may be wanting to wait until there's an opportune moment to tell the fighters and only the fighters what's at stake. And I could kinda see Goku not wanting to in this episode either, because he's trying to stoke the others' fighting spirit rather than put them in a "protect the Earth" mentality.

Otherwise, I dunno.

I really liked the slowed down OP when Goku was about to spar with Krillin.

I think their reasoning for keeping the universe thing quiet is to prevent a panic and for Mr. Satan it made sense but... in what universe would Vegeta, 18, or pretty much anyone who has been paying attention since the Saiyan saga panic?

They wouldn't, but every time they've met one of them so far has been with other characters that might panic or react badly.

I could kinda, sorta see them not saying anything to spare Marron the truth, for example. But neither of them indicate that it even factored into why they didn't say anything, so I guess that's just a spitball.

Also, as a random thought, it'd be fun if we find out Tenshinhan made a super-version of one of Krillin's moves as a flip to Krillin doing so to one of his. Like, he shows up with a super-scatter shot or something.

But here's the thing, no matter what secret method or training thing would have been used to try and explain the increase in power for the human fighters, it felt like people would have cried and shouted foul regardless. Can any of you, I don't know, give an actual explanation on how it could have been done better or what methods should have been done to increase Krillin's power levels because all I see is complaints of, well its terrible, but no one really actually pointing out how it could have been done.

"Wel, let's see you do better" is a terrible argument for this sort of thing.

#55123: Apr 1st 2017 at 11:27:13 PM

I don't think that was the arguement they were making. I could be wrong. But just saying something is terrible without explaining why or offering diffetent solutions is not a useful discussion.

Should we really have to explain why "Super does a power up out of nowhere" or "is inconsistent with it's own powerscaling and strength of it's characters" is bullshit? It's been a very consistent problem.
