[up][up]Yeah, Hao was THE overpowered Shonen villain in his day.

They had to pause the stream because the audio wasn't synced right.

But just to confirm, yes, Mr. Satan is still alive.

EDIT: Stream's back up now.

Hao was at least handled in a novel manner. Usually, with super overpowered shonen villains, the plot becomes "we gotta figure out how to get even stronger and defeat him in battle anyway." Whereas the way the story went wrt Hao was "we can't win in battle with him. he's gonna win. But that's not the end. Now we need to figure out what to do after that."

Which I think is interesting. More than one way to approach things.

The story spent up until the last couple of chapters in the revised ending going "we gotta beat him anyway"

And the actual ending was underwhelming, which the sequel series proved.

So, looks like Goku vs Cell is getting split up into two episodes. I was expecting the entirety of their fight to happen here.

Guess they wanted Gohan's entire fight to be in the finale. I guess that makes sense, but it'd probably be pretty long.

Also, the fucking stinger at the end was a great callback.

So Lani confirmed this season won't end at 60, and not in multiple parts either.

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame.

They're just doing it because that'd be the obvious answer. Cut that out guys, you didn't give us Alucard vs. Cell cause of this logic.

So Lani confirmed this season won't end at 60, and not in multiple parts either.

What he actually said is that they aren't sure. They want to do it that way, but that if they did it might take them three or four months between 59 and the hypothetical multi-part 60.

[up][up][up] They want that obvious answer. It's just that pacing is a thing, on top of thinking of retention and stuff with the You Tube algorithm.

I knew that at some point they'd do a joke about a stray beam blowing up a planet. Didn't know which beam or which planet it would be, but I knew it would happen eventually.

So, in yesterday's stream, they said that Grant had actually contributed a line to this episode. Did they ever say which one that was?

Heh.

Tien, winning on a technicality (since Goku was much stronger and you yourself admitted it) doesn't really count as beating him. I mean, I can't blame you because you and Vegeta are arguably the only ones there right now who can say they beat Goku under any circumstances (which is not an thing many can say), but still.

Eh, I say it counts. Tien won the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai, despite how insanely close it was.

They're ignoring the fact that Vegeta crushed Goku and left him a broken sack of meat on the ground, forced to rely on Krillin and Gohan to finish the job he no longer could, however.

Vegeta did beat Goku. Straight up, no contest, unambiguously beat him. He just couldn't keep it up once Yajirobe, Krillin, and Gohan stepped in.
