The prodigal son is back!
It was nice to see him becoming mystic as if it was a transformation like SSJ3. Now to wait for the subtitled episode to see what was said about the female Broly.

Heh I was a bit disappointed by the episode.

I think it's because of all the spoilers and what not painting this as a Gohan vs Piccolo episode while that wasn't really the case since it had a lot of plots going on.

I'm also not sure what took so long to get "ultimate Gohan" back, I'll wait for subs.

Overall it was a good episode that got several characters development (piccolo gohan krilin 18 cabba and the delinquent brola).

Next week should be fun if Goku turns Blue.

The problem I see with "What happens after EoZ" is that Dragon Ball needs a new start:

The stories we've seen so far are those directly linked to Goku and the world he built arround him (also the reason why other characters aren't relevant anymore!) and because of that, we have nowhere else to go. We've seen the world as an ermit kid which knows nothing about the world, then we went for adventure while life unfolded, then the universe was something out there to reach... and finally we are at a multiverse tournament made by the übergod of the gods, and asking for wishes to the über-dragon of the planet-sized dragon balls! It's simply too much.

Goku's journey is over. He (and almost everyone else arround him) needs a break. He could be a master figure (like Roshi was once to him) or even de God of the Destructions if that's what he want... but we need a clean slate. Goten, Trunks, Pan and Uub need a clean slate for a "What happens after EoZ" future be possible. We all need this:

We need the world to be smaller, more grounded and less of that "we train with the gods" stuff. Give Goku that blue gi and make him the ermit at the top of the mountain for the new generation to reach. Make the Dragon Balls a hard task, and create enemies who are looking for them again. Create weird elders which arrange tournaments with a bunch of weirdos in the desert just because. Make something interesting out of planet earth insteand of the skies and beyond.

Goku needs to be a grandpa and sorta retire as an active fighter. Gohan shouldn't be forced to fight, that role just isn't for him anymore (and. Piccolo shouldn't be training Gohan again, but talking him out of it). 18 shouldn't be lusting for more money, Krillin shouldn't be retiring over and over, Roshi shouldn't be fighting at all... We all know and love Dragon Ball an their characters, but they outgrew their roles a while back.

End of Z needs to bring back precisely that: The need for a new generation and the definite change for the veterans. Those characters deserve that change.

People don't want that though. At the end of the day, people watch stuff like Dragonball to see goku and co scream loudly, change hair colour and punch/shoot lasers at things.

It's like the anime versions of ... I guess, crime procedural shows are the closest live action TV equivalent. You know what you're going to get, it's largely predictable, and you know by the end of each arc, things will be minorly different at best. But that's how it got so popular in the first place.


If you want something deeper, there's a whole ton of anime out there that's got you covered, but Dragonball isn't it, and it shouldn't even try to be.

This exchange about artistic direction vs. business decisions reminded me of this scene from The Simpsons
 
I think Broly ultimately became Gohan's nemesis more than Goku's. Part of this upcoming free for all makes me wonder who is gonna fight who. With this episode I'm wondering if fighting female Broly will fall to Gohan.

well i mean you can fight more than one person

goku lloks like he's gonna rematch bergamo and fight jiren as well
Gosh this scene was just so good.


i agree for the most part, bu ti really don't like how they do the hair these days

back when it was just flat blocs of black it seemes a lot more expressive and flowy when it moved, and even just the shape of it

nowadays everyone seems like they have helmet hair to a degree, and it feels a lot more stiff

That bang gets longer every time they "bring it back"

Pretty soon it'll be hanging down his entire face.
