Oh...it's starting to get interesting. I knew they would pass that without problems. I'm loving this arc so far.

Typical Vegeta, hahahaha. I love him. Thank Japanese Jesus that the original tenkaichi announcer is back. I missed that guy. He's not a moron and he's entertaining as fuck. The guy has been with the franchise since like episode 10 of Dragon Ball AND HE HASN'T AGED A DAY, IS HE IMMORTAL? And that's the end of the Great Saiyaman saga.

Oh yeah, now I remember, Kuririn did say something about Budo artists shaving their heads in episode 14 of Dragon Ball

The idea of using Punch Machine to determine finalists seems lame to me

You bet

It was around episode 21 if I'm not mistaken

Well he looked slightly older to me. And he has moustache unlike in 21st and 22nd Tenkaichi Tournaments (although at the time of 23rd Tenkaichi Tournament he already had it)

Despite a decent chunk of this episode being filler I still found it pretty funny, especially the bit with the punching machine.

Lol, Vegeta just didn't give a fuck. Even Piccolo held back, but not Vegeta.

Looks like it's pretty safe to determine who will be fighting, especially since the narrator even said it at the end lol.



I think that's everyone, but either way, our general cast takes up half the slots (16) just about lol. I wonder how the "Kid Division" is gonna work out though... are there even any other kid fighters? Will we just get a Goten vs Trunks somewhere down the line before the finale? (Or after? maybe? who knows...)

Fun episode. I like how Piccolo is still looking after Gohan by frying all the cameras...

The punching machine scene was hilarious, same as for Piccolo and his phobia against cameras :D

Trunks reminds me more and more of Vegeta, he is a bit annoyed at times it seems. Future Trunks instead wasn't presented like this imo.

I missed the announcer, he knows what's up.

And it's official. I still hate Mr. Satan.

I´m excited for this Tenkaibudokai! Even though the preliminary wasn´t as I expected or hoped for.. Nontheless it was interesting to see how the Z fighters hold back at that machine. Well besides Vegeta, haha.

The other competitors are such weaklings! It was pretty obvious that the Z fighters will qualify for the tournament.

Glad to see that the reporter knows that Mister Satan is a fraud. Kuririn keeps saying what we all think of him.

Hated that punch machine too, as well as Satan getting in by default. It was satisfying to see Vegeta destroy it.
