Goku has been brought back to life and the Saiyans seem to have landed, so lets see what's next and if all the hard training really paid off!

And the saiyans have finally landed. Only took 21 episodes. To give some perspective, 21 episodes for them to land in DBZ and, I honestly can't remember how many in Kai but Goku is fighting Vegeta in episode 14. So yeah, just goes to show how much filler/needless crap is in DBZ. And there is a lot left to get through.

Son Goku learned some good techniques like the Genkidama and now he is resurrected. But he has to pass the Snake Way again to get back on Earth. Meanwhile the two Saiyajins have arrived on Earth.

Could Goku have gone through hell and taken the passageway (which seemed to be a shortcut to the beginning), and then been brought back to life? Especially being more powerful, I would've thought that was the direction he would go in.

Shit's about to get real!

I think the slower paced filler actually helped this part of the series out, instead of like randomly showing tiny scenes of the training the expansion of it helped build up anticipation to the Saiyan's arrival.

The training part was rather short I was confused by the beginning especially like I missed an episode or something when Goku broke the stones like a recap.

And did Goku now learn the Kaioken? We only saw the Genkidama right? But the BIG thing was the Kaioken as said by Kaio himself. Little confusing to me.

What else did we see... Grandpa on toilet XD

The landing of the two Saiyajins was epic, liked it a lot.

This was a nice episode, showcasing a small extent of Goku's newly, hard-earned strength and abilities. I am confused by one thing, though. Instead of running across Snake Way for the second time, couldn't Goku try falling through the clouds, on the ground, and attempt to find the secret entrance to King Yama's office desk? Then again, the hidden pathway is on the other side of the clouds, in which case, Goku's seemingly best bet is to traverse through Snake Way for most of the road until he reaches the area of the clouds which he fell in the first time around. Now that I think about it, from the looks of it, it is extremely difficult to tell which part is which, especially for Goku. I guess there is no other way around it, Goku has to go all out to reach Earth in 2 days. Meanwhile, let's hope the other Z fighters have what it takes to hold them off for a whole day.

Goku finished his training with King Kai, and kaio-sama way too make goku late. Vegeta and Nappa have just arrived on earth.
Can't wait to see Goku in action and how strong he's become after training with King Kai

Roshi muttering to himself in the bathroom surely brought speculation, hahaha. Seems Goku is finally going to be brought back to life after almost an entire year - thus, making it the last wish to be granted by Shen Long. It's time for the arrival of the saiyans, and the possible destruction of the earth. Let's hope their immense training wasn't good for nothing.

Goku surpassed King Kai. This means he is one of the strongest people now. Saiyan's are also here. Things are going to be ugly. Gohan is not that much of stronger as expected but he can help a lot. everyone is in better shape. But they better buy some time for Goku to arrive.

Still King Kai is the funniest person XD!!!
