Too bad about the evil containment wave but Goku made it in time. XD

I think Tenshinhan acted rather stupid when he tried to use that spell against the fat one first. I know he was losing the fight, but seriously... did he think Piccolo would just stand there and wait until it's his turn to be sealed in that cooking pot? =/

Well he didn't really use it on the fat one he was aiming for Piccolo and Drum jumped in front of it who knows if he can actually stop the wave once hes fired it. Either way it wasn't looking good for him and he didn't have many options.

But yeah Goku showing up at the end was awesome this is really starting to feel more like Z lol, can't wait to see how much his power has increased from drinking that water.

Goku arriving fashionably late does indeed remind me of DBZ. Let's get this shit started.

And you want me to go with DBZ instead of Kai? Man.

Awww yeah. Goku's got that look in his eye now, definitely reminiscent of DBZ. I'm excited for the next episode.

Anyway, I wonder why Tenshihan didn't die when he used the Mafuba, though... according to when Roshi tried to use it, even if you miss, you still die after using it. Perhaps it's possible to just get strong enough to withstand the strain it puts on one's body?

I suspect this is because Drum's general power and resistance level is miserable compared to Piccolo Daimao. Hence, the effort spent on sealing a minion will not kill you, imho.

Tenshinhan failed with performing Mafuba but he didn't die. Now it's time for Son Goku vs. King Piccolo!

Did Goku kick Drum's eye out of its socket? I'm also curious as to why Piccolo is so fond of percussion instruments.

Wow that ending was honestly pretty exciting. Goku doing his additional training is over. It's time to rematch Piccolo. And he already killed Piccolo's newest monster Drum in one punch. Also it was cool to see Goku and Tienshienha reunited since everyone's just been assuming Goku's dead for a long time. On a final note though Bulma's parents are too stupid if they could go ahead and get killed in this arc too that'd be great.

The intensity of being unsure whether or not Ten would actually die, to the satisfaction of Goku beating up Drum shocking Ten and Piccolo in the process is only detracted by the stupid way Goku got his new power. Shame Goku seems to be the only one who can actually be of use anymore, but it's not like characters like Yamucha don't have their strengths. Never being the strongest never stopped him, rather it was his quick thinking and reliability that held him above the rest, so I could be mistaken with that assumption.
I'm curious how this anime will continue for 34 episodes whether Goku wins or loses.

It is safe to say that that was quite less an ideal use of the Evil Containment Wave. You can't just use a powerful spell meant to entrap your equally powerful enemy when there is someone else literally right next to you who holds immense loyalty to said enemy and is proven to be faster than you. It is bound to most likely fail, as we've seen. Oh well, Tien tried his best, I will give him that. I am curious as to how these newly-hatched creatures can seemingly know how to fight right from the get-go. It sure seems surreal.

To Piccolo, martial artists defeating or landing a hit on his creations counts as pure luck. Indeed, 3 of your sons are dead, one of them sure got cannibalized, and yet it is all luck. Pride and ego don't go hand to hand, sometimes. I am looking forward to seeing King Piccolo's despairing face once he loses to Goku.

Ox-King is quite disappointing for being a fellow student of Master Roshi's. He acted as if the rocket launcher would have taken him out for good. That's pretty dismaying. And yes, Chi-Chi managed to even grow taller than Goku in the last three years.

Goku made quite the entrance there! He has become so powerful in such a short amount of time. Now it's almost just a matter of time before he beats Piccolo. I can say for sure that it wasn't fun seeing Tien being played with like that - hopefully, Goku actually stands a chance this time.

Bulma sure has a weird family. His mother is still trying to look gorgeous on her death. It is like she doesn't care of her death or Piccolo. Piccolo should die in a electronic jar for this insult of his, haha!!(just kidding)

Tien was beaten by Drum. He was the strongest person here and yet he was beaten. Drum is surely too powerful. Tien had a chance to use the wave and he did it. But thanks to Drum both Tien and Piccolo were saved. Drum helped Tien unknowingly, haha!!

Goku's entrance was cool. He was looking hilarious and much powerful. Before coming his saving Ox king was also cool. Ox king must be surprised to see him this much strong but I am certain that he was happy to see him like that.

Now Piccolo will see his doom I hope. So much for his being invincible. After defeating him Goku must take part in the next martial arts championship. This time nothing can stop Goku, neither Tien Shinhan or Jackie Chun(if Master comes to life again)

What a great episode leading up to the rematch between Goku and Piccolo! Goku made a Z-like entrance, and just in the nick of time to save Tien's life! The last couple of episodes have been a great lead up to the fight, but I'm still not sure if Goku is more powerful than Piccolo, maybe more or less even. Definitely going to see how this plays out!

This episode is really starting feel more like Dragonball Z than Dragon Ball. Starting with a fight scene with people standing around, waiting for Goku to come save the day, panning back to the same scene of people fighting and standing around. Definitely on the action side of this show now.

I can see where Bulma got her stupidity from, her parents are hopeless.

The only padding I liked this episode was Goku saving Chichi. Now we can see the fighting finally start.
