Review Dragon Ball Super Ep. 87



Space poachers! That’s the best they could come up with this week.

Desperate to lure Seventeen into the tournament, Goku mentions the super dragon balls. Seventeen seems interested but before he answers both of them sense incoming energy signatures. A UFO appears and starts stealing animals. Using instant transmission they board the ship.  

Once on the ship fighting ensues as Goku and Seventeen argue over who gets to take out the boss, whom they assume is the strongest. Seventeen runs ahead of Goku and confronts the boss who doesn’t seem strong, but he has two guards with laser swords. They are quickly taken out, as is the fat alien in charge. The alien boss tries to bribe Goku and Seventeen which of course doesn’t work, so he threatens to trigger the self-destruct mechanism implanted in him-- which seems rather absurd for someone who says he is only interested in money.

Seventeen tackles the alien, saying he he’s leaving the rest to Goku. He and the alien fly into space until Goku grabs them and brings both Seventeen and the bad guy to King Kai’s planet.  (That’s the joke.) King Kai is scared and pissed off about this. When deciding what to do with him Dende informs them that there is no self-destruct device, it was all a bluff.

So the ship returns the animals and all is right. Jaco also shows up to arrest the poachers. Finally Seventeen decides to join the team. 

How do writers get work if this is the best they can do? Even if its filler we deserve better than this over before it began scenario. The only funny part was King Kai.

Next episode is a Gohan/Piccolo training episode so I am once again optimistic.
