THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
SHENRON.

It's been awhile. Episode felt slow but hey, it's Shenron so I guess it was somewhat entertaining. Too bad he left so early. Beerus' reactions were the funniest parts. That impatience to see the Super Saiyan God...ha

The united powers though...
Took almost entire episode for the buildup so I hope the next one will deliver.

Well they certainly beyond dragged out this episode lol

Either way, we get to see Shenron and his fear of Beerus lol as well as Videl's pregnancy announcement which imo was better in the film but I enjoyed it nonetheless....Seeing SSJ Videl was weird as fuck though lol

All I ask now Toei is that you guys give Beerus vs SSJG Goku good art and animation....Please don't shit on us fans again like you did with round 1

Okay, so some points.

1. Animation and art were bad, but I've been expecting this since the preview in the last episode. Still, the transformation sequence was rather beautiful, and I really like how Videl was drawn the entire episode.
2. Speaking of animation, from the NEP, I think we're going to get a good episode next week.
3. I think they still haven't explained why Pilaf & co are young and they probably won't, which is obviously a major downside.
4. I was lost since there were no subtitles, but I'm pretty sure they didn't spend too much time on the SSG backstory which is sad.
5. I swear to God if Toei padded out that scene where Beerus "sees" the SSG in his dream... if they padded that out and made it clear that it was Goku, I'd throw my computer at a wall.
6. Also no Tarble. That's good for some, bad for others. I personally don't care.
7. That Goku theme continues to be shit.

And that's basically it, entertaining episode I guess.

10 minutes for summoning Shenron and the other 10 for turning into SSG

Don't really like this pacing.

Jeez talk about picky, well I just hope the battle with Goku SSJ GOD and Beerus will have good animation so no one will BITCH ABOUT IT.

It took the whole episode for the SSJG transformation, I like it much when Goku finally transformed in the movie though. I was expecting just a bit of fighting, oh well.

Apparently Shenron mentioned that the method of transforming into a SSJG was written in some ancient Namekian book

9. Sorry About the Wait, Lord Beerus! Finally, Super Saiyan God is Born!
Original Airdate: September 6, 2015

Having arrived as earth's last hope, Goku uses the Dragon Balls to ask Shenron about the Super Saiyan God. Flustered by the presence of Lord Beerus, Shenron explains the ritual required to make a Super Saiyan God...then hastily leaves! The gathered saiyans attempt to aid Goku in reaching this new level of power...but fail! Whis explains that they are, in fact, one saiyan short of the requirement to perform the ritual. Enter Videl, who reveals she is pregnant! Unsure if it will work, Videl decides to participate in the ritual. After a grand display of power and supernatural occurrences...success! Goku achieves the level of Super Saiyan God! The Battle of Gods is about to begin!

I said padding was the focus last week, but this episode definitely gave the last a run for its money in that department. :D Seriously, all those reaction shots! :D They even threw weather at us! :D Character designs were also rather wonky. I'm not sure if I liked Videl's big reveal better here or in Battle of Gods. I never liked how she got shot in that film though so I'm glad they took that out. Plus seeing her covered in that golden aura was pretty neat. :D Closest we've come to seeing a female Super Saiyan in canon material anyway. :D I liked Chi Chi's defense of Vegeta and Goku wondering if his unborn grandchild might not be pure of heart. :D So now we finally have all the setup out of the way, let's see how the big fight goes! :D

Rating: 7/7

This Week in Buu: Buu's still missing after his earlier beating.

Did You Notice?: Apparently Namekians know how to make Saiyan Gods! :D Also apparently Mr. Satan is strong enough to knock over Gohan! Poor Gohan.:D

Next: Rematch! Super Saiyan God Goku vs. God of Destruction Beerus!

Agreed the whole process was cringe worthy.
No wonder it was a legend even badass sayans did not know about.
And even if they knew, finding 5 righteous of them in Planet Vegeta would have been impossible .

That's probably the bar they set now lol Every time we see bad animation we automatically think "Oh, at least it's not as bad as episode 5" lol

I know someone said this in a previous thread, but it seems like it's almost always Vegeta that's drawn consistently weird lol

Anyway, my expectations were low for this episode based on how much they dragged the previous episode. It was still disappointing though to see how Goku became Super Saiyan God. It seemed kind of lame seeing the clouds part, start raining and hailing, then seeing some kind of holy light appear on him. I know he's meant to be godly now but it seems over dramatic.

I actually did find it funny when Goku tried to blame Vegeta and Gohan's unborn child because he couldn't go Super Saiyan God lol

Also, this:

It's canon. Mr Satan is stronger than Gohan.

I am still questioning why all of this is part of the canon now.......... I refuse to consider any of this canon. It's not TOO bad, but it's certainly not that good either. Movies should stay just that - movies. They should have moved over to that new arc they have planned since the beginning...
It would have been much better if they summoned an entirely new Saiyajin instead of overpowering Goku...again.
Ridiculous.

Is this the first time a female character has gone Super Saiyan?
It would appear Videl went Super Saiyan since her baby which most of us know who it is is already part Saiyan. She looked nice with blonde hair.

The transformation sequence was also very beautiful. The background music fit the transformation as well.

Shenron runs away after meeting Beerus lol.
So how old is Shenron anyway? Did the Namekian who made Shenron really know who Beerus was?

Did he actually grant a wish to begin with?

Goku asked him a question about if he knew about the SSG legend. Unless that question counts as an actual wish.

Plot hole.

Vegeta is not of pure of heart. He didn't get his body in other words when he died fighting Buu and after Gogeta defeated Janemba, his body dematerialized.

Vegeta slaughtered millions of people and has for the most part had selfish desires to be the best. I chuckled when Chi Chi said "but he brought Trunks to the park" as if that negates all the atrocities he committed.

Seems like Toriyama finally found out how to draw a female super sayin, that's nice. Honestly the reveal of Pan was better here (in BoG Dende is a dick and steals the news). Also the transformation was padded, but it was much better than in the film since it was supposed to be the "birth" of a god (I just wish that the animation wasn't so shit).

Vegeta was revived by Porunga in the Kid Boo fight BECAUSE he was good now. He redeemed himself after he returned from Hell.

And the requirement is to have a righteous heart, not a pure one.

It's no plot hole, if the show thinks Vegeta is good now, then he's good. It's just that simple.

Aye, more poor animation from Toei (Is anyone surprised at this point?). Yeah, the way Goku becomes SSJG is still lame, as is the cheap recoloring, but did anyone really expect anything different? Shame they didn't mention Tarble, because I actually kind of liked that nod to the special. Then again, I feel the whole timeline is out of whack, so he may get introduced in a later episode or something.

The world was saved because Gohan nutted in his wife, god bless Saiyans for not using condoms.

Real talk though, this episode was so hilarious. Holding hands and telling Goku you love him, "Don't be a wet blanket, Vegeta", "Nothing's happening... It must be Vegeta's fault!" and Shenron shitting himself at the sight of Beerus all made me laugh. I liked that part where Chichi said Vegeta took his family on holiday so he must have a righteous heart too. The subs were a source of hilarity as well, especially when Pilaf called them the dragon's balls whilst staring at Shenron. There's also the fact that God Goku looks like a bad recolour OC, gg.
