Goku just called Videl Gohan's girlfriend to his face, and the boy didn't even react. surprised

Even Goku can see it.

Goes to show ya that simply going for the exact original Japanese translation doesn't automatically mean superior.

There's a reason woolseyism exists.

Fucking weaboos & purists need to learn this shit.

The new dub has better voice acting, but the original dialogue was a lot better and more poetic, fitting for Vegeta's character.

To be fair, the Buu saga is around the point when the translations of the original dub were more consistent with the original.

Seriously, some of Vegeta's original dub speeches were like something straight out of a Hot-Blooded Super Robot series.

That's right, boys. Mondo cool.

Epic speeches were always something the old dub did well, but I have no problem with what happened here. It's a less is more kind of thing.

Goddamnit Goku, you're orders of magnitude stronger and you know it. Just go SSJ 3 and end this shit now. Trying to protect Vegeta's pride is only going to fuck everybody.

To be fair, Toriyama probably hadn't thought up Super Saiyan 3 at this point.

Just Goku being Goku, unfortunately. (Though to be fair, I think he already knew at this point that the energy needed for the transformation would burn away his remaining time on Earth.)

If he ended the fight now, he wouldn't need more time.

I do like Vegeta's speech towards the Supreme Kai in the original...shit kind of hits home.

Very true, but (when looking at this retroactively) Goku probably had a hunch that he'd need to be around to impart what he learned in the afterlife after the fight with Vegeta, just in case. It's still a bad decision, but it's not the worst thing Goku's done.

It's not as good as the first OP, but this one still gets me pumped.

The scene of the Colossal Titan falling gave me chills.

Goku's real first bad decision of the arc will be during his first fight with Buu.

Yeah, Goku makes a lot of bad decisions in the Buu Saga, but most of them at least have some understandable reasoning behind them.

He is forced into a lot of situations where there's not much to do aside from combat.

Who is in a lot of danger if Buu is revived with full power.

Wait, Mikasa's been knocked out for five hours? That cannot be good for her health.

Is it going to be as bad as when Mikasa almost basically went suicidal in the first season?
