Fluff episode. A lot of flexing and breathing hot air but not much else. I have no idea why Goku couldn't just, you know, fly out of the fissure...

So I'm re-watching all the sagas cause I haven't seen them since I was a kid.... more than 15 years.... and I just found out about a mistake in this episode.

Don't know if it's in every version because I know that are lots of DVDs and BDs out there but in the minute 07:18 when Kuririn is calling Gohan to get the fuck out of there he changes his outfit for a few seconds.

Check it out.

The starting brawl, not bad. Goku manages well against Frieza so far.

The way he jestured them to bail, always thinking of others. That's our Goku.

Loved the way Goku just teleported behind Frieza in the starting brawl like a boss :p Just teleported, back to back, like "Sup?".

I love those sort of bits in a good fight.

Ah yeah, I see he went from Saiyan Armor back to the training gi in that brief moment. Nice catch, I didn't notice during my watch through the ep.

When Frieza agrees that he'll leave Namek out of the fight, will he blow it up? If so then he's just a cunt if he isn't already

But Goku and Frieza seem evenly matched at the moment, and it seems like they're not even close to using their full power yet. I wonder when Goku will become Super Saiyan like the legend goes, and when he'll get blonde hair. I can only imagine the look on Frieza's face when he sees it.

Yep, literally screaming at my screen, "Goku you can fly! duh."

Anyone else ready to skip forward whenever they see Bulma on screen?

Haha yeah,the Bulma scenes are so random and boring. I mean we have these things in all Anime but here the incline is so huge.

And the lava part was kinda weird. The reason was probably to show Freezer does not only have strength but is a smart fighter as well but Gokus dealing with it didnt make a lot of sense

The fight, so far, seems to be evenly matched. Goku is holding his own against the monstrously powerful Frieza. Considering Goku's adversary, that is highly impressive. For an opening act of a long time coming duel, this is already intense with the fiery molten lava springing about around the two fighters.

It seems to be an evenly matched fight between Goku and Frieza. That's both surprising and not surprising. Surprising because Goku's power level shouldn't really have increased far too much since it was in the 180 thousands. Not surprising because of Goku's desire to beat Frieza. Anyhow, this is an interesting fight so far.

the action sequences show that, freezer has a power strength of planet destruction scale while Goku is shown to be strong enough like that destructive power of an atomic bomb one. there's is no chance that he alone would defeat Frieza but revealing more would be an spoiler... that's why I liked this arc story.
