I wonder if Black Sama turn the pistol sideways when he shot the commander.

Lots of good action in this episode. I'm excited to see what direction the show takes next.

Reds death was pretty brutal, I honestly thought the black guy would surrender after disposing of red but I guess not. You have to wonder if this army is supposed to be the best in the world why they didn't have more mech suits handy those things seem pretty OP.

Yeah, I liked it so much.


But my favorite part is when Violet tried to evade Goku's friends while they were evading her :D Seriously, that part killed me :D :D :D

Why didn't the army use tanks?
Commander Red, stop blaming it all on others already. It's what you get for being so lousy and incompetent commander, so it's all your own fault. Authors really managed to make me hate you

Lol...Wasn't surprised that Red was killed by Black, if you remember back to the cigar incident, it was clear he didn't like him. This was just the point where the pot boiled over. Anyway, this episode marks the end of the Commander Red saga. Next up, Fortuneteller Baba saga.

Explains why the Cigar thing happened a few episodes ago, Toriyama was clearly sowing the seeds of this episodes events. Kind of thought Black would turn himself in as well, but clearly he is still evil to the core.

Ah, Commander Red. Destroying villages, killing and enslaving off innocent people, and murdering families, all this just to get tall, how unusually odd and amusing. He was ridiculously childish, fitting for his small size. He was stubborn and prideful even until the end. I guess that's one way to get disposed of. Here is a lesson that needs to be learned, be nice to your employees and subordinates, everyone.

The flight scene between Violet and the gang was just funny. I lost count just how many times this kind of thing happened to me from time to time.

This marks the end of the Commander Red Saga. Quite an enjoyable one. For me, the heated squabble between Goku and Tao was the highlight of this saga.

Interesting. So all he wished for was to be tall, and then he was disposed of by your typical bad guy. Black-sama's blatant attempt at convincing Goku to join him was needless to say, futile. Luckily, Goku has his decency, and doesn't fall for such a fraud.

So Red actually got what he deserved!!!

Mr. Black guy totally took his revenge. However I thought him to be a good guy. But he also turned out to be bad. Good thing that Goku didn't believed him. Goku has become more mature now.

I knew something will come out from the sleeves but just I thought it be Red not Black. However I hope Goku will take care of this.

Haha!! That flight thingy was awesome. I liked the spirit that Launch had for the fight. And Violate took the correct decision to leave. There is no meaning to die for a traitor and waste your life where you can have a better life by saving all those moneys from burning.

Wow, I had forgotten how Commander Red died, and that his wish was to be taller. Been watching this subbed and many lines have been changed from the dub, mostly censoring Roshi's lewd comments (I'm referring to the series so far and not just this episode). Glad that the Red Ribbon arc is just about done.

Colonel Violet is such a meme lol. I had been spoiled that Black killed Red beforehand, but wow that was still a cool scene that was foreshadowed in many episodes before.
