Speaking of skipped, did I miss anything of note in the last 8 pages?

Here's a thing that kinda bothers me about Goku and Gohan in the time chamber and Goku's "No holding back!" gag. In the original, Goku is holding back. Gohan calls him out on it. Gohan is the one that wants Goku to go all out. Goku is holding back because he cares about his son and doesn't want to deck him full-force in the face.

Yeah, but how many 8 year olds want their fathers (even the ones who can't bench press a planet) to hit them as hard as they can, as though the dad was fighting for their lives?

It may have happened in the anime, but that doesn't mean it makes the tiniest bit of sense.

[up]In fairness, Gohan was previously trained by Mr. Drill Sergeant Nasty Piccolo, and that was what he was literally basing his expectations on for Goku training him as well.

The reason the "No Holding Back!" moment and Gohan's subsequent panic is funny isn't because it's a general training philosophy. It's funny because Goku does it during a harmless splash fight, which is not the proper context for a Kamehameha.

You know, my favorite gag in the series has to be Goku repeatedly punching Jeice in the face. That cracks me up every time.

"Oh! He cut off the cap'n!"

[up]I think the Ginyu episodes have been my personal favorites. Especially the "I'm the fastest in the Universe" schitck.

The Abridged Ginyus have got to be some of my favorite characters.

My favorite part about the Goku-punching-Jeice gag was how it ended.

"Jeice, what have I told you?!"

For the longest time, I always thought Jeice called Ginyu "the kitten".

I thought what they did with Zarbon by making him the king of accidental innuendo was pretty funny. And when he transformed into his monster form:

I love Recoome too. I love that they took his wrestling motif and made it his characterization. He was great fun to have around.

Though the scene where he breaks Gohan's was pretty horrific for how.....straight they played it.

They did that in the original anime as well (as opposed to the first dub that had a lot of music playing at the time) but still.....

Thankfully John Cena Hulk Hogan Goku showed up to save the day.
