Never expected Lanfang to use the lingerie defense.

Also, does anyone know what made the announcer mispronounce Goku's name? Was it the characters or something?

Yeah, I guess it's about the Kanji reading, KitaTsuki.
Otherwise - this episode wasn't that much interesting, except for the part where Jackie Chun turned out to be Muten Roshi

Boring episode tbh. Roshi's reaction to Ranfan's body were hilarious. xD

Overdramatic background for Namu.
Jackie Chun vs Yamcha was a short fight.
Lanfang was 100% fanservice.

What i really don't get is why there is an arabian nights-like setup but the people speak in horribly fake Indian accents :D
but then again, this show has airplanes and dinosaurs existing together in the same time frame XD
Dragonball FTW!! ^^

Muten Rosh....I mean Jackie Chun's observation on Namu's backstory made me think of something fairly interesting, at this point in time Toriyama still considered this a gag manga, I wonder when he made the switch to battle in his mind.

With Namu's intense background I can only assume he'll win, or more likely Goku will win and give him the cash he gets from winning. But that's to assume Goku will be able to beat Roshi, that isn't clear if it's possible(or I guess Kururin could take him down to after all his training...). Goku's fight with dinosaur man may be a gag as well, but the remaining fights will probably not be jokes. Still have to agree, the humor can be hit or miss, more often than not it hits but still, the saving grace was that the humor wasn't the main focus, it was the characters and the world building. These last two episodes have been built around jokes, and the jokes were a singular joke which took up around half the episode or more, so I can agree these have been weak for that reason. Definitely is a good thing that I can't confidently predict the outcome of this tournament however, which makes it better than a certain dark tournament in that sense.

So... Can Roshi read minds?? I like to think that it was only a metaphorical scene, but if one thinks about it he just got the exact scenario Namu was thinking about using telepathy...

Or maybe Namu wasn't thinking about it at all and Roshi took it out by exploring his conscience, which would make the scene even weirder.

Yamcha lost, just as I suspected. He certainly was no match to, possibly, the strongest martial art fighter in the world, Master Roshi. I am wondering, though, just why is he dressed as someone else? What could he be planning? Will we ever see a Jackie Chun vs Jackie Chan fight?

I was rooting for Nam through the entirety of this fight to beat the beauty out of Ranfan. He may have got distracted with Ranfan's seductive fighting style, which was very amusing and unfortunate to witness, but he pulled through at the end. For many reasons, I don't think he is strong enough to win the tournament. Hopefully, Goku or Master Roshi could give him the prize money.

Ranfan really enjoys taking advantage of her opponent, huh. It was easy to tell the old man was Roshi. Yamcha doesn't stand a chance against him nonetheless.

Man master Roshi was dangerous. He did not even touch Yamcha! Hope Goku can defeat him. Krillian does not looks in the mood.


So another disgusting fight. Bad woman. Naam should slap her well. Poor Naam was almost lost. She should have fought with master Roshi then she could have understand what a filthy move she played.


BAD WOMAN

One problem with this tournament is that it's been a lot of comedy in the fights. The episode was cool, but repeating comedy in every fight doesn't work.

This has been one of my favorite episodes of original Dragon Ball so far! Yamcha didn't stand a chance against Master Roshi although I thought it would've been closer. I'm enjoying the slapstick comedy/fan-service but I think the fights in this tournament will get more serious going forward. I think Goku will beat his next two opponents and will most likely fight Master Roshi in the finals.

I was really hoping that final part where Yamcha realizes that Roshi is actually Chun would have been a gag, ending on something stupid as hell like "He must be... Roshi's Uncle"

Why is Roshi in the tournament 🙄🙄 It’s funny I guess but I would have liked to see how it would have gone out without his influence. Yamcha vs Krillin would’ve been interesting

I’m glad the woman lost early on, she wouldn’t have been able to beat Goku at all because he’s stupid 😭

Yamcha's moves are fast yet it is the nimble Jackie Chun who makes the fight short, winning without ever touching his opponent. As his lecherous side reveals itself between matches, his fellow finalists are certain he is the absent Master Roshi.
Langfang almost pushes the stoic Namu to his limits with her sexy counterattack. In another instance of closing off a sense—this time, sight—Namu leaps from the edge of the ring and achieves his victory, one step closer to getting water for his village.
