| Master Roshi was really kind in this episode and now I understand why he's doing what he's doing. |

| Hah, I knew that this is his purpose to join the tournament from the start, but the glue he used confused me a bit :D |
  |
| Roshi's a pretty cool guy. I can't wait to see him fight Goku. :) |
| Roshi's probably one of the better mentor characters in anime, imo. He's definitely my favorite character of this series so far. Also, was that technically the first aerial battle in the Dragon Ball franchise? |

| haha roshi ! this episode made me like you even more |
 |
| I ♥ Master Roshi in this episode )) He is really great teacher for Goku and Kuririn ))) |
 |
| Muten Roshi is wise. |
 |
| Master Roshi was already awesome because of his humor, but this episode really did him justice mentor-wise. He's thoughtful toward Kuririn and Goku's ambitions. I did feel bad when Nam lost till his problem was easily solved with the Dinocap. |
| I was unsure how the plot would unfold to let Nam be able to help his village, but it seems to have worked out :) |
 |
| Sweet episode and yea there just was no way that wasn't master Roshi! Pretty good fight especially the mid air part so lets see what's next! |
 |
| Roshi is a nice fella, looking forward to the fight between Goku and Roshi. link9us said: insan3soldiern said: Roshi's probably one of the better mentor characters in anime, imo.

I'd imagine that's why he said "technically". |

 |
| Honestly Roshi probably is my favorite character for this part of the series, I really think he's a fantastic mentor. |
| Now I get why he's doing this....and it makes total sense. |
 |
| Namu was such a fantastic competitor. Only recently getting my feet into battle shounen, one of the first things I realized was a tournament arc could truly shine if every person in the tournament were treated with respect. As in not using competitors as robots to lose to strong people to hype them up, or making combatants black and white evil in the tournament to rule the world, thus making it clear they can't win and taking away their humanity, but rather giving every person in the tournament a fair reason to be there. The reason can be personal motivation in the form of money, or pride, or for the sake of fighting, or for selfless reasons like Namu, but there needs to be a good reason for a fighter in the tournament, and preferably one to help us root for that fighter. If we can see where every fighter is coming from in terms of motivations and personality, instead of making them a one note obstacle or hype tool or a blatantly evil villain, then they seem a lot more human and bring a lot of life to tournaments. Throughout the entirety of Yuyu Hakusho's dark tournament I had hoped we could get characters like Namu, and they hardly ever got close to doing that aside from Namu was very human, stoic, with flaws and strengths, fighting for a reason, but also a man with great sportsmanship. We're allowed to have people like Langfan, fighting for most likely personal gain in terms of money as long as they are humanized, which she was, but I think a perfect tournament arc is one that consists of a variety of people with these situations. The only truly bad one to me was Bacterian, he was a one note caveman who's entire character was about being gross. Even if most of these fights are gags, as always, the cast involved is well written and characterized especially for a tournament arc. |
| It was the most amazing episode till now. Master Roshi is actually worthy of his honor. I was feeling bad for Naam but master Roshi saved him and his village. I thought master Roshi was judging his pupils but not. He was just wanted to stop them so that they can do more. A good lesson this episode gave. But Goku seems too much talented. It will be hard to defeat him. I hope it not become too hard for master Roshi and bad thing we will have to see Goku loose but going to see a super amazing fight.  |
| Very good episode. I was rooting for Nam. Master Kame shows why he is so recognized. A true master of his teachings. |

| Yes, this was a great episode. Glad to see Master Roshi help out Namu, and Master Roshi explaining why he's participating in the tournament under disguise. I expect Master Roshi to win and beat Goku but still hope that it's exciting and/or entertaining. |
| This was probably my favorite episode so far. |
| I enjoyed Nam's little pay off there |
 |
| This fight was a lot better than Krillin vs Roshi, thank god. I loved the conversation afterwards between Roshi and Namu as well. This episode made me realize just how impressive Krillin is, though. He is a true human and is only falling a little behind Goku, at least for now. |
