The scene of Goku training is just so cute when you know the context.

And here comes Space Napolehitler. Give him the thing.

And speaking of homoerotic subtext.

That is how frenemies say high.

Oh just kiss already.

Did Goku and Frieza have a gay moment? They fisted each other. XD

Oh look! Target practice!

What’s the context of the training? Is it memories of the fight with Grandpa Gohan at Baba’s place?

Oh Whis, don't ever change.

Bingo! He's using moves he used in the fight with Gohan there.

Cheeky little easter egg:

Yeah this moment is totally dope.

Prepare for a slaughter afterwards.

Ugh, I still hate this. It's like the Basterds teaming up with Hitler.

@ slim: Alternatively, omae wa mou shindeiru.

Either this or oblivion.

Batman has teamed up with the Joker before after all.

Nani!?

This episode did a pretty nice job of punching up the script but I'm so sad the "I'm 17" joke got caught in the crossfire.

I liked how Rat God gets a patsy universe to pull off his assassination plan instead of doing it himself.

Love Frieza's new magical girl transformation sequence. Really helps sell Golden as a big deal. Which was sorely needed after its last showing.

Dammit, if you’re going to talk about avenging her, use her name. You’re killing the drama with “class rep”.

Wow that so easy.

I know right, just use her fucking name for once.

Girl that war has been over for a decade. You are fighting for nothing.

Does he... know her name?

@ Enlong & slim: Just to reiterate from however many weeks back, I'm willing to bet the original version went with predominantly calling Sumire "iinchou" instead of using her name, and the dub had to follow suit ("class rep" is two syllables like iinchou, but Sumire is three) to match the lip flaps.

For the record, its being "faithful" to the original Japanese audio since using someone's name informally is considered disrespectful.

That said, yea....

Yea basically

Student government is Serious Business in anime. This is known.

Pulling back to Super for a moment, I love how Godtube keeps being a thing and that there are apparently videos of Frieza on there.

I mean, the Naruto world is super informal. Students all refer to teachers, and each other, by first name. Except her, apparently.

I swear this is basically just structurally a certain part of Persona 5's plot.

Evening, all. :)
