Does this count as a filler episode? Seems like one. But it's cool that Goku gave Namu's village water. :)

Goku's getting pretty jacked. His bicep was huge when he used the Kamehameha wave.

A good (filler) episode.
Giran was not a bad guy after all.

I just can't get over the fact that Nams doesn't know his village history since he tried so bad to get them water...Wasn't obvious that there was a river before?? ^^'
He didn't know that, didn't know what a well was.
But he surely knows how that capsule and water machine inside of it worked!
Nams, You're weird.

I'm not really sure how a wandering lake secures the water supply for the village... but whatever. I liked how we got to see a lot of people from the championships again, and that everyone seems to be getting along pretty well.

Lol yeah doesn't make much sense if you think about it, also them spending the entire ep trying to get the river working just for a random sandstorm to come and dry it up again seemed rather pointless and a bit unbelievable lol.

But it was a decent ep for a filler I think my favorite part was seeing Giran again and how him being beaten by Goku in the tourny changed him for the better.

Goku said he was fourteen in episode 2, and in episode 24 he said that he actually meant twelve, and he's still twelve years old. Also Muten Roshi said that Tenkaichi tournament will be held in eight months in episode 17. Surely it didn't take full four months for Goku to get to Turtle Hermit's place and for them all to begin their training. And right after the Tenkaichi tournament had finished, Son Goku set off to search Dragon Balls. BUT in episode 12 Bulma said that it takes a year or more for the balls to turn into Dragon Balls. It doesn't add up

I think Namu might be my favorite Dragon Ball character. I like the cast better here than in DBZ. The characters seem so one-dimensional there.

A pretty good filler episode, and Namu's a pretty nice guy.

Who knew Giran would be the better member of his group?

To be honest, I didn't realize it was filler. Makes sense now that bulma and crew got sent back by the storm. Apparently the next 4 are 100% filler. If they're anything like this I'd say they could be worth watching. I don't think we are supposed to see characters like Nam and Giran again so it was nice.

That's another thing about making good tournament arcs I didn't think of before, following up with the people we met in that tournament. Cool that a brute like Giran now respects Goku, accepts his strength, and it's cool to see both his clan and also the aftermath of Namu with his village. Episode did feel rushed though, or just too fast paced for my taste, the first half was really well done and then we had Goku meeting Giran's clan, breaking the dam, going through the sand storm and then finding the miracle lake go by in a flash. Perhaps we should of had more time spent of Giran's clan and agreeing to break the dam, and then some more time of goku breaking it only to end on the village getting their water back? That would of made it feel a lot nicer pacing wise.

A nice conclusion to the Tournament arc and Namu's story. Onward to the Red Ribbon arc!

fun but feels very off in the writing? i feel like giran being so nice was a bit out of character and puh erh being able to transform for more than 5 minute will probably become a big plot hole later on (it also might not i dont quite remember)

Less than 30 episodes and there's already filler... well, at least it was entertaining. I don't mind one or two episodes like this after the end of an arc.

This was an entertaining filler episode. It was nice to see what happened to Nam's village after the World Tournament was over. I honestly didn't expect to see Nam or Giran, for that matter, so soon. It is good to see that Giran can be nice sometimes, he is not so bad after all. Goku is such a sweet child to help Nam and his villagers like this.

Hmm, so this is the first filler episode. Surprised by how entertaining it was, actually. Goku's kamehameha ability came in handy here.

It was a good after fight episode.

So Goku is on his goal again. I wish I could see them again together.

Naam is a very good guy. He also can sit on Nimbus. Good thing he found Goku. There problem is solved now. A happy episode.

I thought Giran would be a trouble. He is for revenge I thought but he also turned well enough. Everything was good in this episode, haha!

It was nice to see the contestants again 😁 I didn’t even realize it was filler, tbh I would rather have episode like this than have filler during the middle of an arc. It was a nice conclusion to the tournament arc characters in general.

I wish Krillin got to go with Goku though 🥺 It seems like he really wanted to
