I think they'll mostly likely reference filler scenes in ways that does not need to mean the scene actually happened.

Like, Satan's groupies appearing in a cameo doesn't necessarily mean the scene where they showed up at the Cell Games 'happened'. It doesn't effect anything in Super.

Toppo looks really nice in a suit, btw.

Alright so Vados is the voice of reason. She says that they all owe Goku their lives and that with the tournament, they now have a chance.

Good to hear. Goku may be absolute shit at projecting a good public image, but at least someone is thinking straight.

[up]

A few other things this episode:

I agree, Toppo DOES look good in a suit.

  • And it looks like Buu's buff form won't be a one-off thing, as he didn't revert back during the episode (probably because Satan can't rest easy until the tournament proper).

  • Kind of funny how the Kais fall into bickering, but the same kind of meeting between the Gods of Destruction seemed less disagreeable.

  • Of COURSE Champa would ask for more Saiyans.

Thoughts on the gods

  • Love the look of Universe 3's high-tech look. So far he's one of the biggest sources of reason
  • Quitela looks really smug, especially with the statue of himself. Then again he does remind me of Jerry from Tom and Jerry
  • Gowasu should probably speak to Rumoosh about Goku
  • Universe 11 looks like a pretty good universe to live in. Dyspo's teeth reminds me of a bunny

Yeah, Rumoosh kinda owes his life to Goku.

Also, I laughed at Helles saying she thought Goku was beautiful.

Ok. I admit, Toppo does look good in a suit.

And yeah, Universe 11 looks pretty good. I'm totally down with the Pride Troopers. And I guess that one dude is really a bunny rather than being the same race as Beerus and Champa.

I find it very poetic how the meeting among all the Supreme Kais, the Gods of Creation, while very formal, all of them devolve into useless bickering because they are both too arrogant of themselves and too fearful of Zen'O to actually team up, giving the sense of the meeting being more of a high stakes political meeting that, predictably, went no where.

Meanwhile, the meeting among the Gods of Destruction, while far more informal, all of them were in automatic agreement the whole tourny was Goku's idea from the getgo, and were mostly bemoaning the fact that he's so chummy with Zen'O in the first place. Despite this meeting looking more like a Skype chat among a couple of buddies, this one seemed FAR more productive than the meeting among the Supreme Kais, despite no one doing anything.

Ok, Kai is on Toonami, part two of the fight with Spopovich and this is horrifying. The fuck were they thinking making this? I feel physically uncomfortable watching this. It's flat out sadistic.

I know right?

I mean, it's only in hindsight that I realize how utterly brutal the Spopovitch fight really is.

Probably because the last time we saw a beating that awful was when Vegeta fought Frieza, and as bad as Frieza was, Vegeta had done enough horrible things that he'd kinda had it coming.

What was Toriyama thinking?

What the fuck was the point of that fight?

Totally not fun or entertaining in the slightest. [tdown]

I mean, the fact that you feel that way means it accomplished what it was supposed to. It's not like you're ''supposed" to be entertained watching it.

It would've been fine if it hadn't been dragged out...

It could have been a good plot point if Videl realized how out of her element she was and began training even harder and following up with her getting back at him later on but nope. Spopo goes splat and Videl stops fighting.

It's also kinda random that he gets the ability repair a broken neck...

I would've liked to think that the Babidi controlled fighters were immortal...but they just normal died...

Well it is hard to hell from complete disintegration after all.

Piccolo once got a broken neck & he turned out just fine after being knocked out for a little while.

He was also broken apart after being turned to stone...

But he was just fine afterwards.

The Spopovich fight never bothered me as a kid, but it's entirely possible it was heavily edited down by Funimation back then.
