Mr. Popo is pretty awesome. The whole "blackface" thing is definitely dated and not pc, but the fight has been interesting so far.

Oh that old anime you sure got to love it! Pretty sweet development though wouldn't have thought that something even more epic is way above in the sky! Lets see whats next and lets see if Goku actually manages to see Kami-sama!

Wow, I've never seen Mr. Popo fight before, he's a lot stronger than I thought he would be. Rofl at him eating the Kamehameha though.

Pretty cool seeing standard elements of DBZ being introduced here. Also, didn't know Piccolo was so cute as a kid.

Enter Mr. Popo, yet another character that you would never think to be that strong or skilled i should say. This is really the first time goku's training takes him to far beyond levels, he learns the art of meditation to a much larger degree and being able to sense things with out sight, instead of just going in head first attacking all of the time. Some of these episodes are some of my favorite training episodes.

You were always wondering why goku is so agile, calm and collected well he fights in DBZ, well this is it. This is where he truly becomes the legendary fighter.

Son Goku meets funny Mr. Popo, God's servant. Great, how Son Goku is no match for him and he ate Son Goku's Kamehameha.

I didn't know Mr. Popo was that awesome. DBZ really screwed up a lot of what was built-up in Dragon Ball.

Mr. Popo is bad... I loved when he are the Kamehameha. Goku has been a quick learner though, hopefully he can learn from this.

Wow. First time watching the show. And yeah I was aware of Mr. Popo but wow. I mean not a hate crime or anything. But that voice definitely doesn't help the case that he's not racist. Which is too bad because he seems kind of cool.

I could be wrong as always, but this fight feels very similar to Baba's saga. As in both feel random, like weak excuses to have fights. How does judging if someone can beat Popo allow for them to meet Kami? They just want to talk, to discuss something, and to get to his temple in the first place they need to have a pure heart. I get Popo will probably teach him a lesson, and maybe that's the point, the point being to meet Kami you need stillness of mind or whatever, but right now it feels a little off.
Lunch and Ten are adorable.

Mr. Popo seems to be quite the eccentric jovial, possibly, servant. He is dodging every attack of Goku, managing to devour even the Kamehameha wave, which is the first time someone has ever done such a thing. It shows how flexible, so to say, Mr. Popo is. It is highly likely that Mr. Popo is more powerful than King Piccolo, considering how he is toying around with Goku. That's interesting. It makes you wonder just how strong is Kami?

It seems like Piccolo is feeling jealous, with a tinge of loneliness in his eyes as he watched the happy family celebrating their kid's birthday. I didn't expect that a child of King Piccolo can manage to feel such human emotions. But I am not surprised. Piccolo, regardless of his alien blood, is but a small child. All children, in their core, long for their parent's affections. I guess this would serve as an extra motive to train hard for Goku.

Aggressive Blond Lunch sure seems to have quite the infatuation with Tien. I think they would make for a good romantic couple. They complement one another pretty well.

Goku surely has become famous... Well, that's to be expected from someone that defeated Piccolo himself. I just feel bad Oolong practically attempted to ruin his image, hahaha. As for Piccolo Jr. I find it fascinating the only thing on his mind is revenge. He was practically born knowing his reason for living was to avenge his father. This will be an interesting saga, I feel. Anyway, Goku seriously needs to get new clothes.

So the power pole is a connection between the Kami's place and earth. This place is sure out of earth and so is Korins place. It is a devine way. However Mr. Popo is sure strong and decent. Goku was being rude here. Probably it is a training. I am eager to know who is Kami!! He is watching everything on a TV. I wonder which channel is it?

Baby Piccolo is getting stronger and evil as the time passes. I once thought he may be become a good guy by those old couple who were about to adopt him. But a devil is always a devil.

It’s cool to finally meet Mr. Popo

I’m sad that I don’t really know why Oolong even exists anymore. I use to like him but now he’s just getting old tbh

Mr. Popo must be pretty strong to dodge the punch that beat Piccolo. Anyways, Mini Piccolo seems to be jealous of a birthday party, interesting. Maybe he won’t be that bad.

Wow. We are already getting to meet the God of the Dragon Ball world.
Can't believe how excited I am.
And that was so funny too last episode, when he left taking Nyoi-bo from the Kame House lmao. "I am going to meet God, cya later!".

Having to fight someone to meet God sounds strange. But anything to revive our buddies. What if Goku fell off T_T

As a kid, I did see the opening of Dragon Ball Z in my country's language, so I recognize so many of the characters from it, and from being on the internet in general, such as Mr.Popo.
I enjoy meeting all of them in the series.
