| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This episode was kinda cool. We finally got to see a little more of Vegeta and Nappa, they are awesome :) Sucks that Vegeta blew up the planet after saving it.... it was kinda sad. So what were your thoughts on this episode? |

| wow... Gohan is realy growing fats ^-^" + Picolo was soooo cute when he went to check on Gohan ^-^ hehe ++ hm... + we find out not nasty stuff aout the 2 sayagins... but all in all a great episode ^-^ but i didnt realy liek the bug planet... hm... i was wondering... WHY doed Vegita have broun hear???? O.o' i dont get it... all sayagins should have blach heat, + he will have black hear later, so why broun now??... |
 |
| Check out Gohan, gettin' it done out there against a T-Rex (or whatever it is). That was great when it showed up and Gohan just said, "You never learn do you?" It's nice to see his development a bit more drawn out, as it is very truncated in DBZ Kai. |
| Smh Vegeta. You certainly were a naughty saiyan xD |
 |
| I would have felt bad for that planet and those 2 lovers at the end if they weren't bugs...gross. Vegeta would make an awesome exterminator, cleaning up the universe one insect infested planet at a time =p. |

| Gohan sure is advancing, and Goku seems to be still far from his goal! The way Vegeta destroyed the planet was too obvious, you could literally feel it happening already xD |
 |
| Vegeta is ruthless, I love it. |
| Woah, Gohan has become a lot stronger... And damn, those Saiyans are ruthless, destroying a planet?! |
If you don't like me, acquire some taste |
| The Saiyajins destroyed a whole planet. |
| besides the bad bug planet scene (yes, we did get to see the Saiyans' power--only upside). glad gohan is growing up keep on running goku |
  |
| This was a very bizarre episode, it actually was pretty interesting especially showing us how ruthless Nappa and Vegta are BUUUT Vegeta easily destroying that planet is not something he can do until way later in the story. |
| I just hate how in the german dubs ... vegeta has the same Voice as spongebob -.- And still it was anyway a rather average episode |
 |
| I remember the fuss going about Vegetas voice in the german dubs back then in 2001 as well. Today we would call it "Shit Storm", the voice actor got replaced a little later due to that. And I agree with linkjoker about Vegeta destroying this planet was very surprising and does not really fit to his current strength at that point in the story. |

| @_Tokumei-no_ You probably realized since then but at this time in the series, destroying a whole planet (as a single object) was something totally unbelievable (saiyajin suppoosedly destroy planets by ravaging them, at "surface level"). This is one of those instances where the anime tries to describe explicitly something but pushes the limits even beyond the scopes envisioned by the manga (at that time) accidentally. It's funny to think back to this moment when you are at the finale of the first "Z" saga (around the 90-100th episodes) _Tokumei-no_ said: For that alone, this is another reason as to why fillers are somewhat of an amusing aspect in a show. Indeed. It's even true for such short "filling" sequences for power-up and transformations as those where you see the environmenet, landscape, whole planet be affected by power's emanation. You get an incredibly litteral earth shattering scene one time (often pretty good at setting the atmosphere and upping the stakes, I admit) and the same "thing" happens with little consequences a few episodes later (we could also mention how each blow between such powers amusingly sees no environmental effect right after). I'm not trying to be nitpicky, I think I remember one or two instances of that in the comics as well, but it's far rarer since the way most of those things are presented on paper evocate a (sometimes tense but in a way that is) calmer (more calm? sorry for my english) moment, often a matter of seconds. This technique has its impact, it doesn't undermine the often big impact of the representations chosen for TV. (my God, sorry for all this babling about nothing) |

| damn it they ruined the filler when they showed Vegeta destroying a planet and Gohan shooting Ki to put a fire 😱 Magica_do_Mar said: It's nice to see his development a bit more drawn out, as it is very truncated in DBZ Kai. yeah i agree, I've watched Kai first and would have liked to see Gohan's development and the part where they show Goku in hell and chichi aftermath which was more serious than Kai approach of just comically passing down |

| It's nice to see Gohan adapting |
| It was cool to have a POV switch to the Saiyans and kind of insane to see them blow up a planet I’m glad to see Gohan be able to survive on his own now, getting meat from the tail of that dinosaur is smart and also deserved for all of the shit it’s pulled The scenes of Goku running on the Snake Way are kind of ridiculous tho and remind me of Gyumao running from the fire in Goku and Chichi’s wedding arc |
