the animations were done nice, but the fight didn't have anything special to it.

General Metallic = Giant Ginger Terminator. I really like the pop culture references in Dragonball.

I also like to watch it with the English dub with the subtitle translation from the original Japanese.

KA-KA-KA! What an entertaining battle this was. But after Goku used Kamehameha once on the third floor, he'll have to be more power-conservative on the next one if he wants to finish off White.

Goku's facial expressions with regards to Sergeant Metallic "robotness" were hilarious.

His Kamehameha is very impressive. There's a lot of power in it. The fact that he has enough energy to commit to a second one is also impressive.

The ginger Terminator was fun to see. I think Muscle Tower will take other 2-3 episodes.

Pretty sweet fight that robot was most likely referenced from Terminator :p

Major Metallitron is a HUGE Terminator reference, haha.

Toriyama must be a Terminator fan and that is cool by me. An interesting thing was that, when Metallitron scans Goku, it says "Aliens" in the top left corner. Foreshadowing perhaps?

Something felt off in this episode.. I think it was the lack of music in a lot of parts? or maybe the direction.

It was really irritating to see that robot getting up again and again. UHHHH!!! Now I can see why everyone who fights stubborn people like naruto are so annoyed of them.

From naruto's side it looks inspirational when he keeps getting back up but from the other characters side, it's the most annoying shit ever.

This episode was annoying but I still enjoyed it.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if he was an alien. In fact it would make more sense.


I miss all the other characters. Bulma, Yamucha, Krillin, puar, oolong and Master roshi, I miss you guys. I hope they're doing well.

the reason the mega terminator lost to goku is because they forgot to change his batteries...

That was a nice fight to warm up for further obstacles in the Muscle Tower. That giant Terminator wannabe was pretty stubborn if anything else. Goku seems to have gotten used to his Kamehameha wave, being able to utilize in seconds time. Still, General Mettalitron was slow in the speed department, so Goku has to be careful around fast-based opponents, like that ninja guy who seems to be his next likely opponent.

It also came to my attention that General Mettalitron identified Goku as an alien. How interesting. That would explain some stuff if that's the case. Even if the whole thing is a reference to the Alien(1979) movie.

Ah, I just want more movie references now that they already referenced Terminator, hahaha. Seems that Metallic became quite serious once Goku blew his head off. Well, his battery running out just saved Goku a lot of time anyway.

Goku is the little disaster that no one can stop.

That huge robot is tough but of course he is not dangerous as master Roshi. Goku almost defeated master Roshi. This robot was an amusement for him.

Now it is time for the ninja to be beaten.

I like it when people underestimate Goku and loose their ability to sit, hehe!!!

Ok, this episode was definitely for budget saving and time wasting 😂Luckily the muscle tower seems to only be about 6 floors high hopefully. Homie kept coming back to life and he even emoted on goku after he thought he killed him.

Pretty great, is this the first time Goku bled? It did go away instantly, I wonder if he has some sort of super-healing.
