It's pretty obvious what Toriyama was thinking of when naming them. I usually don't like training, but this is quite good.

Seeing this episode and upcoming ones are some of my favorite episodes in the series, it really gets deep into exactly how goku eventually learns how to fight properly like he does in every given scenario in dbz. The art of meditation and concentrations goes a long way for this character and this is the origins of where he learned how to fight that way.

The kids were cute. Judging by their age differences, their mother had to be pregnant for many years continuosly?!

Also, the scene where Kuririn asked Muten Roshi to teach him pick-up art and Ten and Yamucha were trying to eavesdrop was hilarious!

So far I'm actually enjoying these training episodes. I didn't think I would.

Son Goku's training continues. The training is about meditation and concentration.

Goku learns to catch a fish with a pole. But he also learns so much more. I enjoyed this episode.

A pretty relaxed episode overall, I guess it's fits the mood of keeping a calm mind well enough.

Training seems good again unlike the last two power ups, a lot of thought in time put into truly improving the characters. I hope we get to see what Ten, Yamucha, and Kururin do as well, and most importantly that we don't get an immediate time skip to Tenkaichi. This episodes are what the filler stretch after Bora was revived should've been. A solitary(kind of) journey in which Goku learns valuable lessons from those he meets and his surroundings. I'm glad this isn't no filler dump - time skip, or super sacred water garbage.

9 kids? Well now, the parents sure have been keeping themselves busy under the sheets in the past. And these odd names, what went through the parent's head when they thought of these eccentric names. I would like to know that.

Goku's training is coming along nicely. He is learning essential tactics such as reliance upon your sense, and meditation. Regarding Tien, Yamcha, and Krillin, Master Roshi is right. To have any hopes of defeating Goku, they need to change their conventional training routine and go beyond their comfort zone. Still, I haven't seen Chiaotzu anywhere, is the adorable little cinnamon roll not training with them? If so, is he not planning to enter the upcoming tournament? That would be a little unfortunate.

Oh my, that couple had many children - and they had the strangest names too. Seems we've entered an interesting little filler arc. Fillers tend to be quite subpar, but all the fillers so far have been pretty decent, I feel.

Goku is now need the knowledge of nature. His strength needs a good way to be used. Fishing is a good thing to learn a lot about nature. It will also make him clam and focused and also increase his patience.

I was shocked Master Roushi gave up. I thought he himself will do hard training. But it is like he just wants to enjoy his life now. I hope his pupils will keep themselves up. Lets see what happens.

So that’s Goku’s strength compared to someone typically considered very strong, at least Goku learned some meditation.
