Felt a lot sillier than Season 3.

And there is a Super reference but not one you would expect

Only minor gripe is the lack of a Goku Black reference.

I predicted they would have Imperfect Cell start to sing My Way before getting cut off.

I love that not only was Future Bulma unsurprised by her past self hitting on Trunks, her reaction was basically "Well, duh!" As well as Trunks's horrified "Is that why you always called me your little peanut butter cup?"

Does anyone else think that guy in the car who shot 17 with a gun looks kind a like Dr. Gero?

I'm disappointed they didn't keep "The nightmare is over Cell, die!", but "Get out of my timeline!" isn't a bad replacement.

I understood the name as "Genome", aka the Cell knockoff from Heroes, but that being Jiren instead is golden.

I would love to have Future Bulma meet Past Bulma. I mean, I'd like just about any character to meet their future selves, but Bulma would be especially good. Only one who does is Trunks and they don't talk much.

That's more on Super dropping the ball.

But i expected at least a nod towards Black.

I have to say Future Trunks is lucky he wasn't around during the Buu Saga to see his father really go off the deep end.

Both versions really, since both the anime and manga kill Future Bulma before she can try to go back in time.

But at least he still has Mai right?

He does have a version of Bulma from an altered timeline now, even if his actual mother was killed and then had her soul erased from existence.

He even has a slightly less depressed identical little brother now.

Trunks taking on vegeta's "bitch I'm adorable" was just precious.

So, about that Goku vs Freeza discussion. Ok, this was 4 pages ago but since I was thick into it I felt I had to say something: I agree with Tobias in pretty much everything and all his arguments are also mine. Except for that bit:

Goku's first Super Saiyan transformation can go f*ck itself. It contributes nothing of value and serves only to drag the fight on into a completely unnecessary and far less interesting second half.

Well, kinda. I agree with it in large part. It made a good fight worse and, in the long haul, I think it hurt the story. I honestly think Dragonball would probably be better with no super sayans. That said, I really like that moment, like, in isolation. Freeza being mad and nonchalantly murdering people, Goku rage fulfilling the prophecy that have been hyped, that murder stare and Freeza being finally brought down and humiliated by a being stronger than he is. This all, to me, work. It is not a good fight, but it is a good moment.

Of course, it then should have ended in a moment, not dragged for multiple chapters. And in the long haul it likely did more damage than it helped as far as the story is concerned (it was great for the marketing though!). But, still, I like that moment.

Anyway, Team 4 Star, as expected, gave the 1 one spot to the best fight in the series. I disagreed with them a lot this Christmas, but I am glad we agree on that one thing. That Vegeta fight was the peak of DB fighting.

The epilogue was fun. DBZA Trunks and Bulma are great, nice to see their send off. Cell was disappointingly boring but the cut short music was funny.
