A bit of a useless recap in the middle but well at least we do know that Freeza is dead now or at least let's hope he's dead for good! Besides that the elder died and passed his powers to someone else so the dragon balls can still be used but yea I really what Goku will do next though and how he'll get back on earth

Thanks for the recap Toei. Never would have remembered the only 4 interesting things that happened in the entire Goku vs Frieza fight. I guess the budget must have been exceptionally low for this episode.

So Vegeta wasn't considered as one of the Freeza's men by Shen Long. Or maybe they just suffocated as I assumed lol

The Grand Elder Guru died (again and for the last time). Then they showed a recap of the fight between Son Goku and Frieza. After this, Frieza attacks Son Goku although Son Goku saved his life. So Son Son Goku attacks, too and finished Frieza!

RIP to elder Guru :( We did get some good news about the Namek Dragon Balls tho! And LOL at how Frieza died, he could never shut his mouth EVER or accept any of Goku's acts of kindness so he had to go. What a fitting way for him to go.

Essentially a recap episode, I can sorta see why they did it though the fight did last almost a half a year for the people who watched this weekly.

So now the new elder namekian is the beholder (whatever) of the dragon balls.

Goku has like probably 30 seconds or less on the clock and he stops to listen to Frieza... cmon Goku. Priorities.

And to top it all off, Frieza is in hardcore denial.

"You haven't defeated me!" "I'm mighty and your not!"

Um... your sliced in half, dude. Your ki is low. Accept your fate... I know there's bad sports but he's beyond that. Geez

Now for Goku to get off of Namek asap.

Finally, Frieza is actually dead, I'm almost certain. It took long enough, and even as a floating upper half, Frieza still tried to kill Goku. But the destruction is moments away now, so he needs to reach the ship asap.

Rest in peace Guru... he was such a nice character... At least there's good news about the namek dragon balls, I was gonna say that Chaoutzu and Krillin could never return but I'm wrong.

This has been on my mind for a while now. So Earth's dragon balls ressurected everyone from the dead, and Krillin wasn't included because he was already wished back to life once. So how come Goku was? He was ressurected shortly before Vegeta and Nappa reached Earth after being killed by Raditz.
You can't miss something until it's gone.

Goku is still the bigger fool. Why were you going to let him live? He killed Krillin right in front of you!!!!

Its not the only recap we had the last few episodes. Its clear Toei wanted to stretch this as much as possible.

Freezer tries a last attack during church organ piece and then presumably gets killed by Goku who now needs to find a way to leave Namek in... 3..2..1

So this means Guru and Freezer die at the same time (well on different planets but the same episode).

Frieza, as expectantly, was too thickheaded to let these offenses against him go. He could have floated away in space, patiently recuperate and, as the usual of his character, cogitate a vengeful plan for Goku. But alas, his pride severely clouded his judgment, and supposedly got laid to rest. It was a nice moment to see his face morph to one of pure despair at the sight of certain looming death. He got what he deserved.

Grand Elder Guru's sad passing was befitting for him. He died amidst children's playful laughter, nature's beautiful greenery, and surrounded by his loved ones. It was a peaceful way to go.

Okay, I think we can officially say the fight is over now -at least, for now. Goku is going to need some rest after this. This was practically far above what he has ever done before, even going super saiyan as a result of it. He's going to have to hurry off Planet Namek before it explodes. Well, at least there are good news when it comes to the dragon balls.

This was very slow but finally Frieza is down. He was a real fool. It was his own fault or else there was no chance that he could die. Goku has really a noble heart. He spared Frieza's life even after everything. However I think he has a way to come home in his mind. Just waiting to see how he does it.

Vegeta lost his mind now. He is free now and have a chance to live a free life but he chooses to rule the earth. Complete fool he is! There is no chance he could do this. Earth is a weird planet. It always has some backup.

rofl, I'll never get bulma.. it was a marry for interest for vegeta anyway, at least in the beginning... (he wanted to live with all the comfort of a king and have access to the latest technology to train and surpass Kakarotto. damn, it took time for him to get attached to his family. 😂 I think it's a nice development but in super he was downgraded significantly, making him a dork lol
