So thats how Goku learned to sense power levels, looking forward to Goku vs Piccolo round 2. Goku may be stronger but so is Piccolo from their last encounter.

Yeah, because Tien doing the same thing as Roshi and failing would be lame.

So many great moments in this episode.

All of the rioting begins happening, and then we get a bunch of people freaking out at their TVs around the world.
I got a pretty good laugh at the native tribes who somehow had TVs in their igloos and out in the jungle. XD


Classic Toriyama visual gags. XD

Another good joke is when that one member of the biker gang is asking how to write "demon" (which is written as 魔 but pronounced 'ma' )


But, because he's too stupid to remember how to draw the kanji, and his friend won't help him out, he just draws the hiragana for "ma" (ま) on the guy's belly, lol. XD

I hope Ten hasn't bitten off more than he can chew. Cool new Kinto Un. I am excited to see beefed up young Piccolo vs Goku and his newfound powers.

Ten learning how to use Mafuba as he did with the Kamehameha during Tenkiachi makes sense, and we saw him training for multiple scenes trying to master it. That one is okay, was foreshadowed, and actually makes sense to a degree. It is also reminicent of

Goku on the other hand got super powered by getting teleported to a super power maze never hinted at before and drinking water. Very convenient and contrived. I praised Dragon Ball hard on the training segments before this, specifically the first training arc and the training arc against Tao Pai Pai, but as of recent we got Goku powered up off screen and in a contrived mess of a situation. Both of these to have an excuse on why Goku can be even stronger and fight the even stronger bad guys. No good.

And for a nitpick, since I suppose Piccolo possibly feels he can take down all martial artists now, I feel like it's weird Piccolo dropped his mission for killing all martial artists. Is he super sure that no one else can do the Mafuba, like it's his one weakness in his eyes so why wouldn't he be super sure and continue killing them off. He could easily puke out a super strong baby in his youthful form...

I enjoyed the small detail of Karin being the one who gave Roshi the Kinto Un, I thought it was smart. Makes sense and makes that original Kinto Un so much more meaningful now. But I was still under the impression they couldn't die, must of missed something somewhere, or the story was rewritten in that way.

With all of these powerups it kind of makes the beginning of DBZ laughable.

That was one huge Nimbus cloud. I truly thought Nimbus clouds couldn't be destroyed, what gives? I will take it as one of the few plot holes this series has. But still, I was surprised by the sheer size of it. It seemed like it would make for a comfortable ginormous-sized pillow. It sure looked like Goku was having fun before choosing his new Nimbus cloud.

Regardless, it is getting hype. Both Tien and Goku are on their way to King Piccolo, each with a new type of arsenal. I have a feeling Tien would unknowingly stall for time while trying to entrap King Piccolo. Ultimately, he would fail, maybe resulting in his death -which I hope not-, giving a chance for the long-awaited fight between Goku and King Piccolo. While I have no doubt this current Goku would be able to easily handle the weakened King Piccolo of before, I am curious as to how he would manage against this King Piccolo. I am looking forward to it.

And I have to say, it certainly didn't take long for the riots to occur. Humans sure are feeble. Without law and order, they will spiral out of control.

I can already tell Goku has gotten stronger. Piccolo having his way with the world has only left a negative impact - it's time for Goku & as well as possibly Tien, to dethrone him from his position.

So Goku become the first person to survive the Ultra Devine Water. Now Piccolos time has come. Tien Shinhan is also ready with his Evil Containment Wave. But I hope he doesn't use that on the very future. Goku looks really much powerful to defeat and kill king Piccolo. And he got a new Nimbus.

Master Korin has a lot of amazing things. He has a bunch of Nimbus clouds. Yajirobe wanting to ride the cloud was funny. Even Master Korin understood that he is not that pure of heart. I think the guy was alone for a long time which hampered his pure heart. But he still a good person. He tasting Ultra Devine Water knowing that it could kill him was nice. He didn't wanted Goku to be dead after all.

I cannot disagree with you for what said. That's all are true. And I hope your prediction to be wrong in future when I will see further episodes. (However I am sure you've seen the the whole series by the time I am writing this comment)

It felt like I was watching a completely different anime with the whole DARKNESS stuff, but still fantastic episode.

Thankfully the narrative is starting to pick up again. I'm sad that the OG Kinto Un is likely gone though, I might sound weird, but it had a bit of a personality.
