I wonder if Dr. Gero is in this cave? Because there's no way the pirates installed the lights...

I am definitely enjoying these past couple episodes. Roshi is still funny with his ecchi antics. Launch has been developed much more. The turtle even has gotten more development as well.

Goku's cave exploration has continued to be interesting.

I also like the Nazi inspired members of the Red Ribbon Army.

I have been watching it in Japanese with English subs for the past couple episodes. The dialog is better and develops the characters more. The dub version dumbs it down too much.

I found that to be the case as well. That's why I've been watching the entire show with English subs.

Good episode. Roshi kicked ass like expected. I didn't expect Launch to pitch in. :)

Gha-ha-hah, Lunch-san is probably more scary than the Red Ribbon Army :D
Bulma and her sex poses...
Pirate treasure... and traps? Ok, this might turn out as something interesting.

A good episode in a very slow story progression, but Muten Roshi and Lunch were fantastic this time. Red Ribbon has a lot of losers in this army. I like Blue's voice, it's fun.

Roshi beat the RR fodder without much effort as expected was nice to see launch help too I guess her other side can actually be helpful at times. Not sure why Bulma cares so much about the treasure when shes part of probably one of the richest families in the world but I guess she likes shiny things =P.

Also Krillin is such a coward hes probably around as strong as Goku yet hes still afraid of a few fodders with guns lol :/

Pretty nice development I do like to see the blond Lunch more if she can come to turns with the people around her :p She's quite a lovely character imo! But lets see what happens next for episode 50!

Ah man, no matter how many times Roshi fails with Launch you can't help but be amused by his tenacity. He just never gives up. Roshi kicked ass this episode.

Yeah, Roshi was pretty cool this episode. Wonder what kind of traps await.

Considering Blue isn't aware of this cave, I doubt it.

This is why I always watch anime in Japanese with English subs! :D

Completely agree here. I suspected the dumbing down even before I started the show and after confirming it in episode 2 with dumbing down of all the ecchi jokes, it was a no-brainer.

Yeah, Muten Roshi's tenaciousness is hilarious. I LOL'd at his "But giving up now would tarnish the name of Muten Roshi...!" line :)

Blue reminds me so much of Alfred Ashford from the Resident Evil series.

Nice seeing Muten Roshoi be badass and yet goofy as well, which is really why I think I enjoy his character so much.

If Roshi didn't kick their asses I'd be disappointed.

It is quite fortunate that Master Roshi wasn't in his miniature version when The Red Ribbon Army reached his seemingly small island. While it would have been interesting to see the potential squabbling between mini Roshi and the Army, it would have created troublesome disturbances had that ever happened. I just liked how Master Roshi started trolling the living hell out of those soldiers before proceeding to kick their butts in a badass fashion. I am also a bit surprised about aggressive Lunch, it seems like she does not always shoot first ask questions later type of person all the time. She can be reasonable. Well, as reasonable as she can get.

General Blue is proving to be an adaptable, resourceful eccentric antagonist, certainly different from General White or most, if not all, villains so far. He is cautious and knows not to underestimate a dangerous enemy, to an extent at least. I am sure his ego will hinder his ability to be that cautious.

Roshi in action! What a pleasure to see. Surprised to see how tactful the turtle was. Lunch's alter ego truly can be scary, albeit useful at times.

They underestimated Roshi. LOL they thought they can take down them and got beaten themselves. Mr. tortoise had an amazing idea to make Launch sneeze.

My daily Dragon Ball streak was interrupted? Mainly because I was moving houses, but I swear I watched a few minutes before midnight šŸ˜­

I loved a lot of things this episode. Like how much Blonde Lunch was characterized this episode. Not to mention all the funny antics from Goku like scaring Bulma and realizing that they could just turn around and fight the fodder soldiers lol. Super enjoyable. But my favorite moment had to be Bulma pointing out Krillin’s shiny bald head which was super out of pocket. You can just tell that this isn’t filler from the amazing pacing and great character moments
