I thought this was a really good episode. I liked the fight with Dracula Man. There was humor and interesting strategy. I also liked the fight Yamucha had with the invisible man. The next episode should be good.

I am definitely enjoying this new arc much more than most of the Red Ribbon Army episodes.

Jeez what happened to Krillin he was like 20x stronger back in the tournament ever since then hes just been getting his ass kicked constantly, I was hoping he would get some good fights in this series but I guess not. So much for being Master Roshis student :/

Also I wonder what they want with Master Roshi and Bulma? Whatever the reason I just hope they get there before Yamcha gets his butt kicked too.

Nice episode, some nice action and development so lets see what's next and see the reason why Goku had to bring both Bulma and Roshi!

Cool episode, wonder what Krillin's plan is with Bulma and Roshi? Yamcha just has to sense the vibrations in the ground.

Yeah, Kuririn getting beat again is very lame. Not really happy with how the series is treating him. I mean, in DBZ at least his enemies all powerful but he's getting beat by pretty lame opponents.

I might not of been wrong about Kururin being the 2nd strongest, at least in terms of power, he's too stupid to actually use it effectively making Yamucha the 2nd strongest. These fights are still gimmicks, but they're gimmicks about finding the weaknesses of their opponents rather than just being one note jokes like some of the fights in the tournament arc(Langfan, Bacterian). So, still more enjoyable in terms of fighting, and still funny, so that's pretty good.

Baba sure has some interesting fighters.

Enjoying going through Dragon Ball, seeing what the adventures of DBZ/DBS grew from.

Also, I thought at the end of the episode the narrator had said "Find out on the next Krillin'ing chapter of Dragon Ball!" (Krillin, Thrilling...) at first. Had to replay the end sequence there 😅

Krillin, when he goes into the zone, gets too overconfident and underestimates his opponents merely based on appearances alone. This kind of trait has been known to being demise to even the strongest fighters. Krillin needs some serious lecturing for his unnecessary ego. It wouldn't do for a student of Master Roshi to lose in a warm-up match. However, from his loss, we got to see the impressive teamwork of both Puar and Uba. And here I thought they wouldn't be doing much for this sudden tournament. Fighting isn't all about strength alone, after all. Regardless, I have high hopes for Yamcha, hopefully, he doesn't end up disappointing.

I do have to say, enduring sunlight but falling into the textbook tricks used against vampires sure gives off a sense of ironic amusement. And I wonder what Krillin is planning to have both Master Roshi and Bulma here. Master Roshi I can understand but Bulma?

Krillin's overconfidence & ego made him lose on its own. I was rather surprised to see both Puar and Upa fight in this tournament. And to think that their teamwork worked so well too!

Hahaha!!! What a fight!!!

Pwar and Oopa did and amazing thing. That fight was awesome!!! What a funny fight, haha!!!

Poor Krillian, I thought he would be able to defeat at least one guy. The Drakula wasn't that tough for him. He needs more concentration and practice.

After the Red Ribbon saga it's nice to see some fights similar to the World Martial Arts Tournament, but it was disappointing to see Krillin lose so quickly and to the first of 5 fighters, even Goku was surprised. Krillin might somewhat redeem himself depending on why he's having Goku bring back Master Roshi and Bulma (I have a hunch what it is but I won't say in this topic). Hopefully Yamcha has a better showing than Krillin and that Krillin's idea pans out.

My boy Krillin really always has to go against the gimmick enemies 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Alrhoguh I guess Yamcha is up against a bigger gimmick now 😂 I wonder if he will at least get a hit or two in before Bulma and Master Roshi come in? Would be pretty impressive.
