Saiyan Rangers is really narmy.

I know the Super Saiyan didn't have much sanctity in the original Z but I think what they did with it now crossed a line.

I wonder what Dr Brief's reaction was to Bulma getting knocked up by the guy who tried to destroy humanity a few years back.

Oh sure, but I bet you he didn't have Gohan Calvo in mind, which is exponentially stronger than the Blanco form.

I mean, honestly I think it's SSJ 3 where it lost it's sanctity and SSGSS was the point it became a joke and everything after that is when a comedian keeps telling the same joke for so long it just stops being funny.

What makes it sting in this instance was that Ultra Instinct seemed to be a really unique form but now it's design has been thwacked into line with the rest of the Super Saiyan transformations killing what made it unique.

That the scenario is basically exactly the same as the Freeza saga just without the death of Krillin that made things interesting is just what stings more.

Has anyone posted this? Real nice video on the appeal of Dragon Ball Z.

Except for the stuff about Vegeta, that video hit most of the opinions I now hold about the original Z anime and Dragon Ball as a whole.

Yeah.

I think he more or less hit the nail on the head.

Although it was slightly different for me as I'd seen a bit of Z via a raw video of the 6 movie and first two episodes, and watched the DIC version of the original Dragonball. I was already somewhat familiar with the franchise at the time.

I do agree that when I saw it, there was nothing quite like it, and that's the reason it's been so influential.

A reminder that there is no episode this week and no episode two weeks from now. The current schedule is:

129: March 4

130: March 18

131: March 25

In addition, we have provisional titles for 130 and 131. They don't spoil much, but it's good to know them. 130: "An Unprecedented Super Showdown!!", 131: "Goku... Until the Day We Meet Again"

It's because the Tokyo Marathon is today, and Fuji TV is covering it.

Clearly not everyone did. No need to be an ass about it.

A better way to rephrase it is: "The breaks have been public knowledge since January", which they have been, to be fair. If you cared enough to look for it, you would've found it.

Huh... last ep of Super is right before my B-day. That's... oddly sentimental. Really gets you thinking.

Damn you, Japan, and your distinct culture from America with your own holidays and events!

Is the Hunter x Hunter dub also getting delayed? If so I might just cry. :'(

So judging by the episode titles, 130 is the end of the tournament, or at least Jiren vs Goku, and 131 is dedicated to being the series finale.

This isn't going to be the end of the series, is it? Please tell me they plan to continue the Super narrative at a later date, they've introduced way too much for it to end like this

If it actually is the end, wouldn't it be perfectly anticlimactic?
