How did I not notice Krillin's voice actor is the same as Luffy's of One Piece? I didn't notice until an inflection his speech in the dialogue between him and Bulma; before they got into the mini-sub. :S

Look at Goku pass up on all that treasure! :D

it's the same voice actress, but her voice for Lufy is more mature. You can hear Krilin more similar to Luffy in Dragon Ball Kai.

Nice episode, Blue is out of the game.

That's an interesting fact, too bad you ruined the surprise for me(as I've yet to watch One Piece) :D

Anyway, I expected something more of this fight, but Blue is dumb as **** so I guess he can't get any farther than that -.-

Holy shit, that is interesting. Didn't even realize.

Well, I was wrong about Blue. The only way he put up a fight was that ability of his.

Goku almost lost to a gimmick hehe, I think this episode really showed the mentality of its cast well. Goku leaves Blue to get crushed ruthlessly looking to save a rat because it set him free from Blue, proceeds to put it in his mouth after recklessly diving to get the dragon ball and sprints with a rat tail hanging out of his mouth. He's reckless, lives purely in the moment and only does things based off personal wants, not any form of morality. That rats life is worth more than Blue's to him and not only that but that rats life is worth sacrificing his for because it helped him unknowingly. Although I can almost ensure you that he doesn't realize how much danger he's in, if he actually is, maybe being Goku he could survive the collapse and get out some how.

Then later and during the scene where Goku is at gun point, Bulma worries about herself first, everything else last. She was first on this hunt for the dragon balls to get a boyfriend and now she's on it most likely for revenge against Yamucha for being popular with the ladies. She's always used everyone around her for selfish reasons, despite actually showing that she does care for them, it's not that she's a sociopath far from it, rather she is a self centered person who does care about the people around her, just after her. Her reason for traveling with Goku at the beginning was to steal his dragon ball and use him as a free body guard. And she says it bluntly here "The most important thing to me is my own life" as she attempts to leave Goku behind, even if at some level she's doing it because she knows he can make it out.

Kururin himself has some parts of him shown in these scenes too. Despite what we think, Kururin wasn't frozen by paralysis during Blue's fight with Goku, despite that he wasn't trying to help Goku out of fear. But he's still shown to be more selfless than Bulma, perhaps he doesn't go out of his way to save the day and act courageous like Goku(although I would say he more clearly runs on self interest and recklessness), but he still cares. He was very hesitant to leave Goku behind, and was still clearly thinking of him as the submarine started to submerge. The man never realizes his own strength until someone gets him to see it himself.

I also gotta say, the location of this dragon ball didn't make too much sense, but when has that ever mattered? Good episode!

And thus, General Blue collapses under the bile of rocks due to his silly greed. Well, regardless of anything, he did pose enough of a challenge to Goku, even though if you strip away his psychic powers, he would fall extremely short against Goku. Goku dominated this man, but the situation quickly got reversed as soon as General Blue used his unusual psychic power on him.

I have to say, this whole situation showed the true character of the trio Goku, Bulma, and Krillin. Goku was selfless and reckless enough to go out of his way to search for the rodent that helped him when he was at a dangerous gunpoint, completely heedless of the fact that General Blue is also in danger. That shows that Goku isn't living up to morals, but rather, the moment, acting whatever his emotions tell him to do. Bulma, while she does hold a semblance of care towards Goku, put her life first as the main priority, showing just how self-centered she can be. Krillin, on the other hand, isn't self-centered, far from it. He was very doubtful about leaving Goku behind, continuously asking about Goku's welfare. He just doesn't have any confidence regarding his fighting skills. It takes someone else to show him what's good before he gets fired up.

I was a bit surprised when Goku put the rodent in his mouth. What an angel you are, Goku.

Bulma: "Don't look at his eyes!" Goku: *Looks at them*. I was sort of surprised to see Blue's strength. His presence is quite intimidating. Anyhow, I wonder what it tastes like to have an entire mouse in your mouth...

It was an amazing fight though Blue cheated. This is weird that Blue can hypnotize opponent like this. But still the mighty General Blue lost because of a tiny mouse hehe!!!

Goku was too strong for Blue in a fare fight. Krillian was an equal opponent for him if he didn't cheated.

Goku never leaves friends behind even if it is a mouse who accidently help him. However Blue got all treasure and Bulma is being selfish. I hope Goku makes it safely without injuri.

Krillian is changed now. He is as good as Goku from his mind. Haha this is the same Krillian who once wanted to remove Goku from his way and now arguing with Bulma to save Goku. Goku is really a great person!!!

Goku really got saved by plot but it also provided him a good character moment for Goku with the mouse.

Nobody talking about how great the animation was? That one cut from Goku vs Blue, and all of the rocks falling was great.

Goku saving the mouse was super cute. And even though I know nobody from the main cast is gonna die, there is actually a great sense of urgency from all this destruction.
