Wow so Piccolo actually figured out how to counter the Evil Containment Wave, was not expecting that poor Kami.

Holy shit I really didn't expect things to turn this way, Kami-sama was actually captured in the bottle! Shit this ain't good but well I've got faith in Goku that he'll kick Piccolo's ass! Lets see what's next!

That was an interesting turn of events although quite typical, who wouldn't expect a Goku vs Piccolo showdown in the end?

Sure, that match obviously was going to happen, but I didn't think Kami would fall victim to the Bafuka.

At least we know now why Kami doesn't think Goku can win. It is not Goku's strength that Kami doubts but his resolve. Given Goku's character that is understandable.

Oh man! I did not see that coming!
Well, I guess that's the only way Piccolo could best Kami-sama in battle, huh?

I suppose we'll see how Goku will fare against him.
I'm guessing they end up being pretty evenly matched, but Goku pulls it off in the end.

Why doesn't Kami-sama just have Goku kill him. If Goku kills Kami-sama then Piccolo should die too right..?

What a clash of giants: Piccolo Jr. vs. God! God performed Mafuba but Piccolo Jr. countered it. In the end, God was sealed away and Piccolo Jr. won. Now it's time for the grand final: Son Goku vs Piccolo Jr.!

Now that was a crazy plot development, I probably should have, but did not see coming. Kami getting reverse Mafuba'd was unexpected, made perfect sense in the rules of the series, and added an extra layer of complication and tension to the final showdown between Piccolo and Goku. Can't wait.

As stupid was that was, that was awesome. The piccolo language they spoke to each other in the show down, and the ridiculous "REVERSE MAFUBA!". It started as strong as it ended too, with Piccolo jr mocking Kami, only for him to do some crazy naruto hand sign stuff and tear up the stage, start flying, and dodge a nuclear explosion from Piccolo jr. That was hysterical, and really cool. One of my favorite fights in the show easily. Even if I predicted it the second Kami implied he was going to do Mafuba, the only way the finals could've been Goku vs Piccolo jr is if he reversed it somehow, but knowing didn't take away from the hilarity and rule of cool.
I did think Kami knew all though? Maybe I'm misremembering, but if he did I assume he'd know how strong Goku had gotten, as well as Piccolo jr. But If I am misremembering that makes sense I suppose.

i like how jr. is more interesting than his father. his father was just generic evil while jr. gets more surprised and even has surprises up his sleeve. it's still kind of generic evil but with a little more than before.

Wow man! Kami and Piccolo started off with a bang! I was really entertained by their fight until that Reverse Mafuba!!!😣 I mean...it's fine with me if Piccolo jr wins this fight so that he can face Goku; but I just don't like the idea that Mafuba can now be overcome. Master Mutaito trained for that technique for years. It would be overawing if that technique was invincible. The only thing that can beat it is that if someone breaks the container; which Picollo should've done!!

Eventually, that technique will die out after what just transpired.😒😒

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

This fight was so amazing and explosive. Tearing up the ground with crazy ninja hand signs, dodging nukes, flying maneuvers, and all in-between was just cool. This fight quickly became one of my top 5 duels in Dragon Ball so far. It was exhilarating.

I have to say, though, I am confused about some things. If Kami wanted to stop Piccolo Jr at all costs, couldn't he just kill himself? Since they're both connected by a lifeline, wouldn't that make sense? Regardless, good job for Piccolo Jr. He figured out a way to counter the Evil Containment Wave. He has already surpassed his father, King Piccolo, from the look of things.

Lol I have totally forgotten that Piccolo was that evil back then. Great arc. Looking forward in seeing the final.

Oh my, if Piccolo is killed, God will die as well. No wonder he personally came down to finish him off for himself then. Goku simply wouldn't be able to. Seems God's plan of using the mafuba to seal away Piccolo failed, and instead, he was the one sealed away. An incredible fight - Piccolo has already grown so strong, it's unsure whether Goku is even a match for him.

11 Eps to go


It was really an epic match. Junior is really very powerful. Enough powerful to defeat Kami himself. This will take a lot to defeat him for even Goku.

So Kami wasn't completely that man. He just possessed his body. Lucky guy though. Good thing he got saved. The final will be more intensive. This is going to be horrific like last they fought.

Holy ****, Kami got trapped by a reverse mafuba?! Yeah Piccolo now has no weakness as he said so himself, damn. So it will be up to Goku to defeat Piccolo and hopefully free Kami as well.

By the way, the fight, while somewhat short for Dragon Ball standards, was incredible as expected! There were some great moves and action but it was a bit of a shame that it ended somewhat abruptly. I expect even better from the finals.

@Shiyon44 Lol sorry for reminding you of your 9 year old post but I thought the same thing. Or even Mr Popo would’ve done it i bet. Other than that, great episode.

Kami said in the episode that Goku won't kill Piccolo either way because Goku doesn't want Kami to die, so obviously Goku wouldn't even entertain the idea of killing Kami himself

So an ‘Evil Containment Wave Reverse’ would be a Good Containment Wave… which checks out.
