Ch 287 can't believe i missed my favorite dad's birthday (The Switch) But not the one from Nintendo! * shot * Ginyu!Goku is incredibly smirky and Goku!Ginyu is having a hard time dealing with a new body, especially since it's bleeding pretty heavily (and bluely). Goku!Ginyu puts on a scouter (what a weird look for Goku's body) and immediately leaves for the ship with Jace in tow. Goku!Ginyu (god i hate all these G names sometimes) flounders after them, bleeding and hardly able to fly. not to mention none of his clothes would fit anymore Finally back to Krillin and Gohan, who I feel like we haven't heard from in ages. They stop by to pick up the radar and Bulma just rips into them for not having made any wishes yet. I get that she's been completely left out of the loop on all of this and the last she saw of any of them was them running around with Vegeta of all people, no explanation, nothing, but it still feels bad for her to yell at them like that when they've been through a bunch of shit. Gohan finds the radar and they take off after letting Bulma know that Goku's around. d(ﾟ∀ﾟ) Meanwhile, with Vegeta.... he's gone out for his daily constitutional Vegeta resolves to wait for someone to show up because he presumes the dragon balls are hidden somewhere in the area, and if they are, Krillin and Gohan will be by eventually to get them. In the interim, time to get changed! panties Σ(ﾟДﾟ；) well heck, there goes my headcanon re: underwear with battlesuits (or the lack thereof) Vegeta gets a new suit and breastplate. They only have old-style ones left in his size, so no more shoulder pieces for him. As he's getting it and some new gloves and boots on, he senses Krillin and Gohan and suppresses his ki (stealth mode Vegeta is a go!) Gohan and Krillin locate the buried dragon balls and make short work of digging them up. Vegeta, behind one of the ship's pointy leglike supports, watches them and waits for them to start the wish process. Krillin uses the usual Earth invocation... and.... nothing at all happens. well, neither do you, so To make things worse, there are people headed toward the ship! Two of them, in fact. Krillin grabs Gohan and they hide; Vegeta stays where he is. Ginyu!Goku and Jace land, much to everyone's surprise. Considering my question from earlier, it seems like Ginyu!Goku's ki must not be like Goku's, or else Gohan and Krillin would have recognized it and not been so jumpy. Ch 288 (Goku or Ginyu?!) More recommended title art of Goku!Ginyu with Gohan on kinto'un. "is this my dad" Ginyu!Goku and Jace of course immediately notice that the dragon balls have been unearthed and just left sitting out in the open for anyone to come along and pick up. Krillin steps out from hiding and is like "Hey Goku my old buddy, what's up? Why's this red dude hanging out with you?", just like somone who doesn't know that it's possible for people to switch souls. He unwittingly reveals the existence of the radar and tells them that they haven't managed to make a wish yet; maybe things are different here than they are on Earth. Gohan's still in hiding (and Vegeta, of course). He seems suspicious, and indeed, he tells Krillin that it's not his dad just as Ginyu!Goku prepares to punch Krillin in the head. Unfortunately, Krillin still gets punched in the head. Krillin's all incensed that Goku hit him and Gohan keeps telling him that it's not Goku. jace in the background is very good \o/ Everyone is appropriately shocked that switching bodies is possible, even Vegeta. I guess Ginyu didn't broadcast this ability, which I suppose would make sense; you wanna keep some things in reserve, keep your foes in the dark about your true powers. Krillin is still convinced that switching bodies hasn't happened (although he's moved on to thinking Goku's being controlled by hypnosis). Goku!Ginyu is having not only trouble flying, but trouble even sensing ki, which must mean he's super messed up by this, because sensing ki seems to be one of the most basic things you can do. (Could be wrong, but that was my impression of the various tiers of ki-related abilities.) He's comforted by the thought that if he's having trouble, maybe Ginyu's having trouble too. Ginyu!Goku is attacking Krillin and Gohan, but I'm not really getting a sense right now whether or not he's having trouble with the Goku body. Vegeta's observing this from his hiding spot and thinking about how things are just getting worse and worse, whether or not it's body-switching or mind control or something else altogether. Goku!Ginyu finally shows up and puts a pin in the mind control-vs-bodyswitching issue. don't worry my sweet boy, you still have Dad #2 to fall back on if this one doesn't work out Goku!Ginyu tells Gohan and Krillin to go all-out on Ginyu!Goku, because he's going to be a pushover right now: he hasn't had the extensive training Goku's had to be able to do the things he does (kaio-ken, concentrating ki, etc., etc.). Ginyu!Goku laughs this off and charges up, then asks Jace to get a read on his power level. It's about 23,000, and while Ginyu!Goku is busy being shocked that it's so low, Krillin lands a double axehandle. Jace tries to step in, but Vegeta basically taps him on the shoulder and is like, "I don't think so, buddy." Things are looking up for Team Earth (+ Vegeta)!
Ch 289 HAPPY BELATED ?????? BIRTHDAY PICCOLO (Ginyu's Mistake!) Ginyu!Goku's pissed that he's so weak in this body that he thought was gonna be super awesome and cool and better than his old body. He lobs an energy blast at Gohan, but it just kind of dissipates after hitting him. Krillin shows up behind Ginyu!Goku and tells him to quit it, no good's going to come of fighting when he can't even use Goku's body correctly. They exchange blows and we pan out to see Vegeta vs. Jace. Vegeta making a good point (man, dude, vegeta, why do you have to be so good on namek and so infuriating 90% of the rest of the time) Jace scoffs at the idea of Vegeta being able to beat him, so Vegeta invites him to read his newly-raised power level. They've stopped fighting in order to talk about this; I like how often fighting stops and both combatants just kind of hover/stand around to have a little bit of a chitchat about stuff. Jace checks Vegeta's power and then breaks his scouter himself, claiming it was malfunctioning. We all know better. HOW DO YOU KNOW. HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT. WHERE'S THE CHART WITH "NORMAL LIMITATIONS OF SAIYANS" ON IT. GIVE ME THE DATA YOU FUCK. SHOW ME THE DAMN BELL CURVE AND WHERE YOU FALL ON IT. Anyway, Vegeta trashes Goku a little bit, kicks Jace square in the face, and then hits him with a chop to the side that breaks his armor (and probably some ribs). But it probably doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things, because Vegeta immediately follows it up with a particularly destructive-looking blast to the face. Goku!Ginyu tells him he didn't have to do that and Vegeta spends a bit more time trashing Goku and saying that he'll never become a Super Saiyan (should I capitalize that or not? hmmm....) because he's too soft. He notices that Ginyu!Goku's still in the running and scolds Krillin and Gohan for being too easy on him because he looks like best friend/dad. The next 3 pages or so are completely devoted to Vegeta just beating the shit out of Ginyu!Goku in myriad ways. would absolutely not put it past vegeta to just kill your body. look how much fun he's having. Vegeta's "Here we go --!!" precedes him diving straight at Ginyu!Goku, who he knocked to the ground. He's having too much fun to notice that Ginyu!Goku smirks (he's also quite a distance away, I suppose, so that could contribute as well). Goku!Ginyu notices, however, and realizes that, yep, once again, Ginyu is relying on his "Change!!" ability and means to steal Vegeta's body this time. Oh what a sight it would be, seeing Vegeta!Goku. He'd hate it. Ch 290 (The Final Switch) Goku!Ginyu throws himself between Vegeta and the soul-beam-thing from Ginyu!Goku and the two switch back into the original bodies. Goku's pretty messed up from Vegeta's attacks, and Ginyu's still suffering from the self-inflicted chest wound. Vegeta's a bit mystified, but Gohan realizes that Goku's back in his own body. Vegeta's slightly slow on the uptake, but finally switches his attention to Ginyu, who's still planning on taking Vegeta's body, despite the slight hiccup in his plans. Goku's really the only one (besides Ginyu) who knows exactly how the body switcharoo works, and he's incapacitated, can't even stand up. although you'd think that him shouting "CHANGE!!" and sending out a weird beam from his mouth would be a bit of a clue. but it could also happen very quickly. Goku tosses a frog between them. The frog also has antennae. It'd be fun if everything on Namek did. i kind of regret that we never got a Vegeta!Goku goku saved your goddamn butt! you would've hated Ginyu's body! it would have been too tall for you! hitting your head on every doorway and low-hanging branch! not to mention the lack of hair! frog!ginyu is a fucking gift so is vegeta's nonplussed face Krillin and Gohan help Goku up and Vegeta demands to know what happened to Ginyu. Goku points out the Ginyu!frog, which is ribbiting pitifully. Vegeta goes over to step on it (VEGETA NO) but Goku stops him and Vegeta agrees to let him go because his new life is gonna be hell. He then goes on to be threatening for no particular reason (he still has use for them) and they take Goku into Freeza's ship to get some healing done. i would die if i had to go into one of those healing capsules but on the other hand i'm deeply into vegeta's powerstance Goku, however, is enjoying the tank, and Vegeta takes Krillin and Gohan to get some upgraded equipment.
Can Ginyu!Frog still switch bodies? I mean, pretty much everyone is dead other than these guys and Freeza anyway, but still.
Spoiler: Manga, Anime and DB Super spoilers Apparently, he needs to be able to say 'Change!' for the bodyswap to work. Ginyu is never seen again in the manga In the anime, he meets Bulma, who builds some kind of frog-English translation divice, which works well enough for them to swap and there's shenanigans. He, like everyone else from Namek, makes it to Earth and spends the rest of the series making cameo appearances as a frog. In Dragon Ball Super- Spoiler: Here's where shit goes crazy In Dragon Ball Super, Captain Ginyu, still a frog, catches wind of Freeza's imminent revival. He sneaks aboard the spaceship of some guys getting Earth's Dragon Balls, and follows them to the fight that happens in Resurrection F. While he's there, he scouts out which of Freeza's minions is strong enough for his purposes (Tagoma, which is a pun on egg), and tricks Tagoma into reading out the word 'change' (written in the dirt, in a special alien script?) which is enough to trigger his technique. Ginyu, now in Tagoma's body, finds Freeza and apologizes for being, like, fifteen years late. He reaffirms his loyalty and goes to beat the crap out of the Z Warriors. Gohan is losing until he goes Super Saiyan, then he creams him. Gohan doesn't bother killing him because (shrug emoji) That's about when Goku and Vegeta arrive, and Vegeta just lasers Ginyu immediately because fuck that guy. Captain Ginyu is definitely dead for real this time, and Tagoma-who-is-a-frog is never seen again.
Ch 291 it would be great if there were a fashion-changing montage where krillin and gohan would try on a bunch of different battlesuits (Nail's Sacrifice) Vegeta throws clothes at Krillin and Gohan. Krillin gets a suit with short sleeves and legs, while Gohan gets a full-length one. I still don't understand how boxers are supposed to fit under those things without riding up crazily/being incredibly uncomfortable. Oh well! High-tech space fabric! this is kind of an odd feel for vegeta. it seems a bit different from his previous way of working with them. maybe because they're not facing anyone down or in a rush to get from place A to place B. iunno. alt fashion everybody (and krillin just casually calling vegeta "vegeta". it's fuckin' weird, man) Vegeta estimates Goku's recovery time as between 40 and 50 minutes, which leaves quite a bit of time for doing things like having a snack, sitting around, staring at the sky, hunting weird lizards, etc. Instead of doing any of those fun things, Krillin decides to visit the Grand Elder, leaving Gohan and Goku in Vegeta's care. This is the perfect opportunity to check in again with Freeza and Nail. The latter's pretty bloody, but he's still trying his best. Freeza takes a blast that razes the ground around him, then teleports (not actually, i don't think; more like moves very, very quickly) in front of Nail and backhands him right in the face. why would you do this nail. why. sure, gloating is fun, but is it worth giving him the extra information??? having said the above: HAHA THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR CALLING MY SON A DUSTMITE Freeza doesn't even bother killing Nail, just takes off. He can't find any sign of the Ginyu Force and freaks out a bit. He tears up the ground as he flies, he's going so fast and putting out so much energy. snails. snail planet. everyone's named snail. you and all of your fellow clone-offspring brothers are snail people. how many words for snail are there in japanese Krillin picks up on Dende's ki, intercepts him and freaks him the fuck out. my poor kid, stop scaring him, he's had a long fucking couple of days Once he recovers from the initial shock, though, he's very happy to see Krillin. Ch 292 (The True Dragon God) >--<3--> Dende's like, "Bruh, we gotta get to them dragon balls before Freeza does, let's get going," and so they do. gohan on watch while vegeta snoozes peacefully (...maybe) Dende and Krillin get back and, seeing the sleeping Vegeta, hatch a plan: take the dragon balls away from here, use them, and have at least a bit of time to make wishes before Vegeta wises up and comes to kill them for doing that. yes dende knows what's up and how to carry these things But nothing is ever easy, because just as they've gotten the dragon balls away from the sleeping Vegeta, Gohan and Krillin pick up on Freeza's ki getting closer very, very quickly. It's now or never, and all the ingredients are here: someone who speaks Namekian, the seven dragon balls, and people with wishes to be granted. The dragon balls glow, he sky turns black, energy radiates off othe dragon balls. Almost time for the Namekian dragon to make its appearance! Freeza wonders what the fuck is going on. Kaiou (who's probably been giving running commentary, must like me (although we probably think very differently about a lot of things)) tells the deceased gang that some wishes are gonna get granted. FUCKING BEEFCAKE DRAGON!!!!!!!!!!! The beefy dragon is named Porunga and he also has antennae. thank you porunga for matching your planet's main denizens For some reason, the dragon speaks Japanese/English???? Despite the fact that Dende has to translate all the wishes into Namekian???? I just. Why. They wish for all the people killed by the Saiyans on Earth to be brought back, but uhoh, Porunga has just a slight bit of a limitation: he can only bring back one person at a time. The dead gang are a bit disconcerted -- only one person at a time? There are three wishes, but four dead people! Piccolo begs Kaiou to let him talk to Gohan. Do it quick, Piccolo, because otherwise there might not be a Gohan left to talk to, with Freeza on the way and Vegeta probably going to wake up at any moment and be fucking pissed.
I really like Vegeta here because it's like the only point in the entire series where he actually believes he's out matched, so he's willing to play nice, and Goku's not around so he cools down on the posturing. ...Maybe he misses having coworkers to bitch about his boss to. "Hey guys we have magic space armour that shapeshifts when I do, how is it not in my size? It's every size, and every size includes my size. Also I need the shoulder pads for intimidation."
yeah, super agreed. he's so >( even when having a nap his face is just Like That. can't draw him without the Angry Eyebrows
Ch 293 * vibrates in anticipation * (The Three Wishes) Time to make a wish! Time to decide who to rez! But first, Piccolo has to make a call. no need to shout!! i guess it's a two-for-one call * remembers all the times i just said "kaiou" because i'm too lazy to type the extra 5 characters * >_>; fucking thank god someone has some slight modicum of sense. honestly a good 20% of piccolo's appeal did you really have to? right after i was complimenting you on your slight modicum of sense? was that really necessary? i guess you're not completely immune to the thrill of the challenge or to hubris...... a) happy gohan :') b) why do namekians speak english/japanese anyway c) dende: "what a weird name. nothing at all to do with snails" Dende translates the first wish, and over at Freeza's ship, Vegeta goes from napping to wide awake in an instant. He senses some crazy power, sees the beefcake dragon, does not see the dragon balls, and puts two and two together. He takes off. On Kaiou's planet, Piccolo loses his halo. At the lookout, Kami reappears. (A thought: Kami's not gonna be much use if Piccolo gets himself killed on Namek, but oh well!) Gohan tells Dende the second wish and Krillin notices that Vegeta's on the move. Dende translates the wish in a hurry, and Porunga complies. Piccolo blinks out of existence on Kaiou's planet... but is nowhere to be seen back on Namek, at the site of the wishing. fucking wishes them's some ominous boots if i've ever seen ominous boots Vegeta's pissed enough that he calls himself "Vegeta-sama", but he's not only angry that they did this behind his back; he's also mad because he still believes that him becoming immortal was the only way to defeat Freeza, and so they're fucked if he can't do that. Gohan quickly tells him that there's still a third wish that can be granted, and Vegeta relaxes slightly -- at least, he seems slightly less immediately homicidal. Freeza's gotten close enough to see Porunga in the distance and rightly guesses that wishes are being made without him. Vegeta yells that Freeza's going to be here soon, the only chance is for him to become immortal, so just do it already! Dende looks unsure. (Krillin and Gohan are unsure as well, but as Gohan says, they don't know how long it'll take for Goku's wounds to heal....) PICCOLO LIVES AGAIN!!!
Ch 294 shoulder pads are the universal constant (The Last Wish) Namek feels strangely familiar to Piccolo, but it's no time for sentiment! He casts around for ki signatures from anyone, and gets one crazily huge hit that he guesses is Freeza, with a few others nearby. He sets off. I very much enjoy how his cloak blows around as he flies. Piccolo understands how important aesthetics are. Or maybe he just likes his cloak, but I prefer to think he likes looking cool. Vegeta's still bullying Dende >:( Freeza's almost here, and Krillin tells Dende, basically, that Vegeta may be bad news but Freeza is worse, and so better the known evil with the pointy hair than the unknown evil with the pointy horns. Dende somewhat reluctantly agrees, and Vegeta lets him down. pffffft vegeta what a face Dende's getting read to make the wish and then Porunga just up and disappears. everyone: (⊙_⊙) The giant, useless, stone-ified dragon balls rain down as the sky brightens up to its usual green. Vegeta demands answers, and Dende has them; the Grand Elder has finally passed on, and without his power, there's nothing to be done. The dragon balls have no more potency; they're just particularly spherical stones now. leave him alooooooone There's not much time for Vegeta to be furious, however. don't usually see him with quite so many sweatdrops, this must not be good oh no, in fact, it's very bad! It's finally happened: Freeza's come face-to-face with Team Earth + Vegeta + Dende. After so many days of scurrying around, hiding, keeping out of his way, disguising power levels... the maybe-inevitable has happened. Freeza is smiling in a very unfriendly way, and speaking in a very... Civil and refined kind of way, which is honestly pretty chilling. especially when followed by this get out of there, dende!!! Vegeta stands up to Freeza, and I'm not sure how much is ((misplaced)) self-confidence and arrogance and how much is necessity. If he does nothing, if they try to run, they're likely going to get killed; the only choice at this point might be to face him down. Whatever the case, Vegeta talks awfully big for someone who was making so many sweatdrops at the very sight of Freeza just a few panels ago. Freeza powers up, enough so that even Piccolo can sense it at the distance he's at. He gets distracted by a very faint ki below him -- Nail, who Freeza left beaten and defeated at the site of their battle. so much so that i mistook him for you a few chapters ago
Ch 295 i dont understand namekian skin patterning but i guess that's okay (The Assimilation) Nail's alive enough to talk to Piccolo and recognize him as the mysterious Earth-based Namekian. Piccolo's a bit cold for this being the first person of his species he's seen (that wasn't sort of also him). (Or do those things that Piccolo Sr. made count as Namekians?) He's like, "sorry you're dying, I got people to go save." Nail ignores that and tells him he's astoundingly powerful, and that it's shameful (!!!) that he's split up into two people. what :/ I think I might get it, even if it seems irrational... For some reason, Kami feels like the "original", even if that doesn't make much sense? But especially since this Piccolo is the weird clone offspring of Piccolo Sr., he feels even more like the "secondary" one. It'd be really scary to feel like you'd lose your personhood, be subsumed by another personality and self.... especially after you've gotten used to being your own autonomous self. Or maybe Piccolo just really dislikes Kami, I dunno, I may be attributing to much of my own neuroses to Piccolo. Nail offers to merge with Piccolo to increase his power. lol I spend all that time up above speculating and I should have just read a bit further down the page for some confirmation Nail tells him not to worry about it, he's just going to be a "catalyst". Piccolo's still suspicious, but when Nail reminds him that he's up against Freeza, he reconsiders and puts his hand on Nail's arm. Piccolo's still very mistrustful and Nail calls him out for being ungrateful, and then does... something, which creates an aura around them both and ends with Nail disappearing. Seems to have been kind of a rough process for Piccolo; he's panting at the end of it. Still... was it worth it? Oh, good! ...oh piccolo. Piccolo, in possibly the best mood I've ever seen him in, takes off with a hysterical laugh. The charged-up Freeza menaces Krillin, Gohan, Vegeta, and Dende, and Krillin comes to the conclusion that they're no match for him. i would say probably not, BUT! ants are still around whereas dinosaurs are not, so... although there are dino-looking things on this version of Earth, so my clever reaction might not be so clever after all Vegeta's like "heck yeah we can!", which is, once more, kind of an odd feel for Vegeta. He's weirdly... encouraging? I suppose it could just be all tactics, keeping morale up to have the best chance of not dying, but I'm not sure if Vegeta is quite that tactical. THIS IS SO WEIRD see, okay, this is more comfortable territory, even if makes me want to die a little bit every time he says it Freeza gets pissed at Vegeta's little speech, specifically the Super Saiyan part of it, and attacks, but Vegeta grabs his wrist and stops it. Freeza attacks with the unoccupied arm, but Vegeta grabs his hand and they have one of those hand-holding contest-of-wills things that happens sometimes. How do Vegeta and Freeza compare, height-wise? Vegeta looks maybe a bit taller. Freeza's scouter breaks, trying to scan Vegeta's power level. They break apart; Vegeta's panting a bit, but he was able to hold his own. Despite all of this, Freeza seems unbothered. it's too bad vegeta doesn't have his tail anymore; they could have fun transforming at each other. Oh, wait, no idea if namek has moons or not, just a shitton of suns.
Ch 296 One can only hope that transformed!Freeza is slightly less offputting than normal!Freeza (The Transformation) prof!vegeta makes an appearance again (gotta draw that at some point) low blow!! or not? vegeta doesn't seem to care too much. doesn't even call him "father" or anything. just "the king". well, it wouldn't be super surprising if there was some weird animosity there WOAHOHO I DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS Luckily, he seems to have kept his pants. I don't know if I could deal with a completely unclothed Freeza. The next few pages are extremely unpleasant, middle-Animorph-morph type transformation sequence shots. Freeza gets grotesquely muscular but his head stays really small until the very end, which is a lot of "NOPE" for me. BUT! Having said that! I actually find this transformation quite a bit easier on the eyes (for me)! His horns go from Terezi-type horns to more Tavros-type horns, and I apologize for being a filthy homestuck, but that's honestly the first comparison that came to my mind. Oh, and something I forgot to mention from the last chapter: apparently he can't necessarily control his power in this transformed state, so that could be extra dangerous. Vegeta, Gohan, and Krillin are all collectively kind of like ".... fuck." at the end of the transformation. good fucking lord Freeza puts his hand out and produces some sort of wave of force that blows everybody backwards, off their feet. including my favorite son dende D: All of them escape to the air (Dende in the care of Krillin, who once again proved that he'd probably be a good babysitter by rescuing him). Freeza's left down below, standing on the one bit of land that he didn't destroy with his wave of force; the rest has already been claimed by the ocean. He spends a little time mocking Vegeta for being so cocksure earlier before fucking just stabbing Krillin through the chest with one of his horns. It's so... sudden, and so bestial; punching isn't exactly the most noble of ways of attacking someone, but it feels more... respectful, at least? But the horn thing is just like... "I don't even need to expend the effort of actually fighting you." I'm really not saying it right, but it's a bad feeling. Vegeta is shocked and Gohan is horrified. Ch 297 (Freeza vs. Gohan) Vegeta yells at Krillin for saving Dende. Normally I would say "fuck you, vegeta" because Dende is a good green child who should be saved, but considering the situation, he might have a point. normally i'd make a joke about freeza not actually being sorry but i'm just still kind of heartsick about this whole thing Freeza tosses Krillin's body off of his head, and it falls into the ocean. Gohan tries to go to his aid, but Freeza moves in an instant to block him. Gohan tells him to move and Freeza doesn't. this is a particularly good effect for this panel, it's got so much impact Because Freeza is still in his way, Gohan kicks him in the head and follows that up immediately with an uppercut to the underside of his jaw. He hits him with both fists in the center of his chest, then sends him flying with a kick. Finally, he throws a particularly devastating energy ball, the blast from which even blows Vegeta around a little bit. Freeza crashes into the ground, and Gohan continues his onslaught with a series of rapid-fire energy attacks. When he finally slows down, he's breathing heavily and seems to have forgotten momentarily about Krillin, the whole reason behind him getting so angry in the first place. Vegeta wonders if maybe Gohan's the one who's actually getting close to being a super saiyan. thankfully dende proves his considerable worth once again by swimming out to save krillin Vegeta tells Gohan to forget about Krillin for the moment, because there's no way those attacks were fatal, and in fact Freeza is already getting to his feet and dusting himself off, at least metaphorically. While it did actually hurt him just a bit, Gohan's only real accomplishment was to make Freeza angry, which is not something you'd typically want to do. Vegeta says that they really underestimated him. No shit, Vegeta. In the healing tank, Goku's apparently conscious enough to sense at least some of what's happening outside, and begs everyone to hold on just a little longer; his injuries are almost healed.... piccolo, too, just needs people (okay, lbr, Gohan, his adopted son) to hang in there a little longer. go quick, piccolo, and let's hope your claims of invincibility hold up
I just started watching Kai, first episode bits dubbed and bits subbed trying to decide which I prefer. There are bits of the voice acting in both that really throw me off. Everyone seems low-key a little weird to me in dubbed and Krillin and Goku both really not what I expected in Japanese. Curious to hear what other folks here preferred while I try and work out what I'll go with for episode 2.
