It's almost like I'm watching an episode of Star Wars or something. Why does Pilaf have such a huge ship anyway? Surly he could fit all he needs in one half the size. Well they haven't proved themselves to be a very smart group so far...

Anyway poor Goku, he's fighting for a Dragon Ball he doesn't even want. I wonder how much longer it will take for him to find out.

I wonder where Pilaf bought his ship to begin with. Also, why do his henchmen continue to serve him. He seems to provide them with nothing but abuse and threats of torture. They have had plenty of opportunity to usurp him, but for some inexplicable reason, they continue to follow his orders.

So far, this season looks to have a little bit higher production value. I am curious to see how this saga progresses.

The Red Ribbon army is already pissing me off. Just as I thought, Pilaf is not good even for keeping one ball away from then. And of course - Goku is alive. He isn't affected by bullets, explosions or any shit like these :D

I wonder where Pilaf got all his riches from.

So far, I'm not enjoying this saga as much as the earlier ones. Hopefully that will change soon. ;)

Lol at Goku pissing on the camera. Pilaf's efforts were in vain, I guess. When comes to sheer size the Red Ribbon seem to be tough to beat.

It does, the red Ribbon army Saga is definitely one of the better ones in my opinion.

A lot of people here are saying Pilaf bought the aircraft but in earlier episodes he said he built the castle Goku destroyed. So chances are within that year of waiting for the Dragon Balls to come back Pilaf and his henchman built the aircraft instead of buying it. So I wouldn't call them "not smart" because they are handy in building contraptions.

Looking at his team it would be probably the dumbest army on the world

I wonder if they'll kill pilaf or not. I mean they should since he would cause them more trouble later on. But I get the feeling that pilaf will survive.

It's sort of surprising though, this show has so many fight scenes but it never really has any serious death scenes.

I mean I'm sure at least a couple of people have died in the series thus far due to fights but I like the way they treat it. It's sort of messed up but it's true that we fans only care when the one of the main people in the group die and not some character we barely know

It would also be weird if goku and chichi married right now. That would mean they would do it and I'm not really interested in watching 12-13 year olds doing it, lol.

Plus goku is not mature yet at all and is not nearly responsible enough. Plus he might be asexual.

Pilaf sure is loaded with cash, for some reason. Why does this guy need the Dragon Balls again? One would think with all that machinery, and only having 2 minions of all, he would be a force to be reckoned with if he got his shit together and acquired a small army, wow.

Anyway, the Red Ribbon Army sure are scary too.

I am surprised, Pilaf and his Co. put on some serious effort against the Red Ribbon Army, even managing to down Colonel Silver's airplane, that's pretty impressive. He did get caught by the end, yes, but he was smart and resourceful enough to topple a fair bit of the opposing army. He may be ridiculous at times, but he can be decently smart at times, albeit rarely, I bet.

One question I have in mind is just why hasn't Pilaf informed Goku that he doesn't have his grandfather's 4-star Dragon Ball? And that the one he parted with Goku was a fake? That would surely get Goku off his back, and perhaps gain him as an ally? That would be a welcome sight to see.

Goku is just so hungry that he thinks everything is food. It'll be interesting to see Goku's face once he sees the supposed "Dragon Ball" he desires so much.

Amazing, haha!!!

Goku thinks wedding is a kind of food. Haha I can't stop my laugh. And also he was peeing on the Pilafs' camera, where to go, hahaha!!!

So these Red handkerchief army is worth to be a opponent for Goku. Goku better become more powerful to destroy the whole army of handkerchiefs, haha!!!

It feels so weird to see militaristic people in DB. It makes a lot of sense for them to use Hoi Poi capsules.

Pilaf having Goku PTSD seeing him on the cameras was funny and also mimicking Goku’s move of sticking his tongue out. It was even funnier to see Goku piss on the secret camera 😭.

But wow, the RRR has tons of soldiers. Curious to see how strong they’ll actually be when the real arc starts.

Pilaf really got destroyed there, perchance out of game. Great episode.
