Just watched 74.

Super Great Saiyama Beam!!!!

Hopefully, but the time of the tournament, Gohan is back to Buu level strength and will be able to skip Super Saiyan again.

Call me crazy, but I'm beginning to suspect that Jaco fellow isn't very good at his job.

Hey, look, the show remembered that Videl can fly!

Also, I love the fact that Videl immediately trusts that Gohan isn't cheating on her and that something is up with those photos. She doesn't even get a bit mad at him, it's just "I know he'd never do that." It's so rare to see that in anime... or hell, in media in general!

20 years later, and Videl is still best girl.

Huh. I now get why people liked the whole superhero angle of the early parts of the Buu saga.

And I now kinda dislike how Videl's character changed as the show went on. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's fine for her to settle down and all, but come on, where's the fire she had?

Just for clarification, I'm watching the Buu Saga of Kai on Toonami right now.

It's funny you say that considering the last two episodes of Super kinda dealt with that..sorta.

I've heard.

I've pretty much stuck to waiting out for the English dub of Super at this point. I'm introducing my little brother to it.

Videl still makes more sense as a cop than Krillin.

I did like Videl's moment in this episode, but yea they just took all of the substance out of her character. It's more than a little annoying and only emphasized by the fact that Super and the Buu saga are airing back to back.

I blame Toriyama.

I guess once he was done with her, he just tossed her into the housewife role and didn't bother considering anything else.

Though I suppose one of them had to stay home to take care of Pan.

I less blame Toriyama and more blame Japanese societal standards and traditions.

I blame the fact that most of the cast is having a hard time being relevant in general and Pan gave a convenient excuse for both Gohan and Videl to be out of commission.

I don't know what the HFIL you guys are talking about, Videl was great in the last two episodes and seeing how strong her bond with Gohan is was fantastic.

That's more or less in agreement, but I'm over here watching Super and Kai on Toonami and it's jarring how her character has changed.

I also wonder Videl as well, she was very hot blooded but I wonder if she had calmed down over the years? Also, to be fair to Super, GT was also another offender.

TBH, somebody married and with a young kid behaving the same way as when they were 16 doesn't make much sense...
