Dragon Ball Super 032

Spread the word around.  The boys are back in town.

In this episode, Majin Buu shits his pants.

But before that, we find Goku and Vegeta in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, training for three years while they wait for the tournament to start in three days.  Vegeta was reluctant to go in, but he’s seen the improvement, and that’s got him fired up.  Meanwhile, Goku can’t stop thinking about Monaka, the mysterious fifth fighter Beerus has arranged for their team.  Vegeta tells him to grow up and act his age, but Goku says they won’t get older until about age eighty, missing the point completely. 

Speaking of missing the point, remember when the Hyperbolic Time Chamber was first introduced, and there was a rule that prevented anyone from using it for more than two years in a single lifetime?  You can leave and come back in, but once you’ve logged 730 days in there, the entrance vanishes and you can never come back out.  Vegeta’s already used his two years when he trained for the Cell Games, and Goku’s a little less than one year in. 

But hey, no big deal.  Majin Buu and Gotenks were able to bust out of the Tim Chamber even after the entrance was destroyed, and Goku and Vegeta are much stronger than they were back then, so maybe the time limit no longer matters.  Okay, but remember how Goku could have spent more time in the chamber before the Cell Games, and he chose not to?  Because past a point, the harsh environment of the HTC works against your body, and your training sees diminishing returns?   Well, everyone working on Dragon Ball Super seems to have forgotten about that. 

And sure, we could argue that Goku might have found a way around that limitation by now, but that point is that the rules about the Chamber weren’t imposed for the sake of continuity.  I’m not complaining about a plot hole here.  The problem is that the rules were established specifically to prevent scenes like this, where characters just spend years and years inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to simply EXP grind their way past any challenge. 

Anyway, they all meet up at Bulma’s place to ride a big space box to Beerus’ planet.  Jaco also shows up to attend the tournament, and he brings along the Galactic King for some reason.

On Beerus’ world, Goku meets Monaka, and he pesters the guy to find out just how strong he is.  Beerus keeps telling him to cool it, but Goku won’t listen.

Goku literally hits Monaka in the face just because he cannot wait to see what this guy can do.  I don’t understand why Goku is so fascinated with this guy.  I mean, yeah, Goku’s always excited to encounter people with greater powers than himself, but he’s already standing next to Beerus and Whis, who are stronger than Monaka.  Hell, for a while there, Vegeta was stronger than Goku.  And they’re going on a trip to Universe 6 to meet even more strong fighters.  What makes Monaka, in particular, so special?

When they arrive at the Planet With No Name, they meet the Supreme Kais of Universes 6 and 7.  This is the first time we see Kibitoshin un-fused in the anime.  We saw how this came to pass in the manga.  The Kai’s were worried that Champa was planning something involving the Dragon Balls, so Kibitoshin went and got the Namekian Dragon Balls, but when it turned out they were wrong, Kibitoshin put them back, but not before using them to dissolve his fusion. 

To be honest, I never particularly cared about this one way or the other.  Kibitoshin was so similar to the Supreme Kai that I would sometimes forget about the fusion altogether.  And he’s had a pretty long run this way.  The back end of the Majin Buu Saga, all of Dragon Ball GT, and the first thirty episodes of Super.

According to Shin, they just couldn’t stand being fused together any longer, which sounds kind of dark when you think about it.   I mean, it’s not like they were roommates cohabitating Kibitoshin’s body.  They were literally one person, and apparently that one person hated being himself?   For several years?  That doesn’t sound good.

Like I said, I never had an opinion on this, but now that I’m watching the dub, I can see now how different Kent William’s performance is.  Unlike the other fused characters, who have two voice actors reading the lines in unison, Kibitoshin was just played by the Supreme Kai’s VA, who tweaked the performance a little to account for Kibito’s gruff influence.  It’s not much, but I didn’t realize how much I missed the “pure” Supreme Kai voice. 

Wait, so why doesn’t the Elder Kai use the Dragon Balls to undo his fusion?   You know, with that old witch?   Well, I guess he likes it this way.

Anyway, the Supreme Kai of Universe 6 seems more perplexed that the U7 Kais are so chummy with mortals.  They’ll get over it.

I don’t want to spend a lot of time going over all the new characters, since we’ll have time for that later, but one of the U6 team approaches Goku and Vegeta and asks if they’re Saiyans like himself.  This is Cabba, and unlike the Saiyans of U7, he hails from Planet Sadala, and his people only fight for just causes.  Vegeta recognizes Cabba’s clothing as similar to the fashions worn by U7 Saiyans before Frieza enslaved them, and he also explains that the U7 Saiyans used to live on their own version of Sadala before they destroyed it in a war and conquered Planet Vegeta to live on instead.  So there’s a ton of Saiyan lore packed in this one scene.   Pay attention, there’s a test later.

See, I told you there was a test.  Well, not about Saiyans.  This is the test Vegeta requested to ensure all the fighters were genuine competitors and not just brainless monsters.  Although, knowing Vegeta, I could imagine this test being written with Saiyan history in mind. 

Everyone passes, except Buu, who fell asleep during the exam.  I was going to say he probably would have failed the test anyway, given all the doodles he wrote down instead of answers.  But it looks more like he drew that stuff on the desk itself.  What happened to his test sheet?  Wait, dumb question.  He probably ate it. 

Beerus is upset about this, but seriously, what did everyone expect?  This is the second time Buu has slept through a saga on this show, and [spoiler alert] it will happen again. 

Anyway, this Majin-looking guy is handling the announcer/officiating duties.  Where did they get him?  Did Vados create this guy like the rest of the arena? 

Also, this penguin-looking dude sings the joint anthem of Universes 6 and 7.  It is not “Let ‘em all go to hell, except Cave 76!”  But it’s really short, which means it’s spiritually similar to the Cave 76 anthem.

And the first match is Goku vs. Botamo, this big Winnie-the-Pooh-looking mofo.

Jack and Snotlout are bickering, as per usual...

Snotlout: That's it! Hookfang, attack!

Hookfang was confused for a moment and only registers that Snotlout is pointing at Jack...

Hookfang, moving forward and nuzzling Jack: Snotlout: What the fuck! Jack, petting the Nightmare: Hah, even your dragon's on my side. Hiccup: Makes sense, Jack technically tamed it first before you did. Snotlout: Unacceptable! Hookfang, you can't like us both! Snotlout: Now I don't wanna have to do this, but it's either me or him. You can't have both! Snotlout: So, what's it gonna be? Hookfang, looks at Snotlout: Jack, stopped petting to see what happens: Hookfang, nuzzles Jack again for more pets: Snotlout: OH, COME ON!

NES Longplay [032] Double Dragon

[fearthephenom]

"If you want to direct, watch things." -Kenneth Branagh, Pt. III

Ten years ago I gave myself the challenge of watching 52 films in 52 weeks. I called it, "If you want to direct, watch things." My goal was to learn what I liked, why, and to encourage myself to write.

I exceeded my objective and ended my year with 150 films. I learned a little more about myself and what I could accomplish.

Over the years, I have lost motivation for my personal wellbeing. I've been overworked, stressed, depressed, unable to focus - but I'm feeling better now.

So, now I want to do it again. I want to push myself, challenge myself... because I can, because I'm up to it.

Objective: Watch 150 films/television shows. Goal: To know I can put my mind to something and accomplish it. Movie | Short Film | Television Show | Re-watch

Originally I was going to plan on making a mass attack featuring a variety of characters that I was planning to include them before I resume doing more video game box art mockups. But due to time constraints and me having a ton of stress regarding on the mass attack, I decided to scrapped them and soon go back and making more video game box art mockups instead.

Here we got three more Art Fight attacks that I made. Each of the following VG box mockup contains a reference to one of the NES/Famicom games. All of which are listed down below:

------------------------------------------------------

030 - Horivolt Wars for Tczmiel and CodeOcular (Reference to Famicom Wars)

031 - Newt for @newtthelizardwizard (Reference to Yoshi)

032 - Blazing Tactics: Shadow Beast and the Sword of Wisdom for childishcat (Reference to Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light)
