Human fans rejoice! Since the Freeza Saga of DBZ The humans
have been left in the dust by transformation after transformation, so it’s nice
to see an episode revisit Goku’s best friend: Kuririn.
When Goku needs a training partner Chichi calls in Gohan.
While it was nice to see Goku and Gohan fight again they end up destroying Goku’s
farm as a result. Soon Goku is back in the market for a sparring partner and
when Kuririn is mentioned Goku hurries to Satan city to recruit him. He
encounters Kuririn in the middle of a fight where he gets hurt by a bullet! IN
the personal crisis that follows Kuririn decides he has to get stronger and
heads with Goku to Muten Roshi’s to be retrained.
This was a great episode. It was funny and compelling. The animation
was OK, which is the most I hope for from DBS. Kruririn’s frustration with
being left in the dust by Goku is easy to relate to, as are his motivations for
wanting to get stronger again. In recent years the Kuririn has become a joke,
only slightly below Yamcha on the pitiful scale. But he was always one of the
most interesting characters in the original series and I am happy to see an
episode do right by him. I’m just frustrated I have to wait till next week for
the conclusion. Here’s to hoping it holds up!
