No I meant End of Z.

Though wow harsh, I mean Goku was apart of that tournament & I'm sure Pan's not that strong.

Why the fuck would you join if you know you have no chance of winning?

'what about all the money you wasted on training equipment'

And all of a sudden I'm no longer bothered by the Krillin owning in this episode.

Don't you know, all wives nag relentlessly and have unrealistic expectations. Honestly, it's surprising that Videl hasn't started in on it yet.

[up] God is Videl a Saint & her husband fell just as bad as Krillen.

Also after watching the new Thor trailer I can now imagine how an encounter between Beerus & Thor would go like:

"I'm not just a monster or any cat, I am a God of Destruction. What are you the God of?"

And then BOOM- God of Thunder bitches. tongue [awesome]

Gohan got the best relationship in the series, so I guess he has that going for him.

Too bad Toriyama likes bullying him as much as he does Vegeta.

Well, Videl seemed a little more temperamental when she first showed up but she cooled pretty quickly.

I guess she just lacks the issues that Bulma or Chi Chi has.

Helps that she wasn't as desperate for a boyfriend/husband as either of them.

As for 18...the woman can be sugary sweet sometimes, but she was a former wise ass delinquent, so being a bit cutting needs to be expected.

So I have another question: When do you guys think Frieza is gonna fuck shit up? He Saw Kale completely no sell SSB and then saw said Kale get one shot by Jirren. He's also working with Frost to, I guess, eliminate troublesome members on his own team as part of the alliance. We know Frieza cant resist doing something Grand, im just waiting for when.

Yeah. Frieza's one of the strongest players in this thing (that we know of). He's gonna bide his time and wait for the right moment, which means he's gonna try and wait to reach the end.

I'm gonna chalk Kale lol'ing at SSB to Goku not giving it his all....

Maybe Frieza can get rid of Kale? That'd be funny.

[up] For some reason, I imagine it mirroring Krillin's defeat. Assuming that Kale manages to control her Berserk form possibly due to being motivated by Caulifla possibly taking her blow in their Enemy Mine with Goku against the Pride Troopers, she becomes confident enough to take out some random opponents on her own and feels it's necessary to gloat to Caulifla in the stand.

Then comes Frieza, taking out some dirty monkeys...

[up]Oooooooo, that would be funny, Frieza getting to mess with some more Saiyans. He seems to love doing that more than just regular torture.

It was surprisingly harsh when you consider he literally saved her from being rung out just a few minutes prior.

Well, some people are jerks. And the writers decided it was better for her to shit on him than acknowledge that he did well.

Humor. It's bullshit sometimes.

[up]Well, after Krillan rescued her, making her practically fall in love with the man again, and then after such an impressive showing, he botches it by being cheap shotted from behind while gloating, going down like a shmuck. Not to mention that moments earlier she actually warned him not to get cocky, 18 has the excuse to be salty with her husband.

Goku wasn't using all his power with the kamehameha, but you can tell he wasnt trying to reel in the punch. He even put in more power at least twice before he got Puny God'd.

Honestly, Kale going Legendary Super Saiyan, and then casually Unflinching Walk through SSB Goku's Kamemaha was the highlight of this episode. Though it got me thinking........would have Kale been more brutal if Goku was a woman.....? Fighting is essentially the Saiyan method of courtship and bonding, no matter the cultural variations.......

Way I see it, Goku wasn't putting his all into that Blue Kamehameha (similar to his Blue Kamehamehas against Krillin and 17 before the tournament), but he was still caught off-guard by how much of his power she was able to take.

I'm sure Goku put his all into that blast but it just wasn't enough. Maybe if he'd tried it with Kaioken, but who knows.

Just the reiterate, the main issue is just that Kale is kind of a shitty character in every area. And, yes, she has self-loathing issues, but that by itself does not make a character interesting or me care about them. Nothing about how she's been handled so far leads me to think that good things will come of her.

I'm one who thinks that execution of a concept is more important than the concept itself but the execution has been pretty bad so far, and the concept already wasn't the best.

[up][up]Say he started it at 10% of his full power. Then while she was walking through it, he cranked it up to 15%, then 20%, and he was surprised that wasn't enough to take her down. He does explicitly say "I'll put a bit more ki into it" right before he fires the thing.
