Gohan time! After last week’s questionable writing it’s time
for Super to redeem itself.
Gohan and Piccolo are sparring, and Piccolo’s not impressed.
He tells Gohan that Goku already talked to him about the tournament and got him
two senzu beans so he could retrain Gohan.
After catching up with the other characters, including
Vegeta changing a diaper and Kuririn getting beaten by his wife Seventeen in a training
match we rejoin Gohan and Piccolo. Even in Super Sayian form Piccolo is beating
Gohan. He tells Gohan that he is obsessed with winning, and can’t even invoke
his original strength.
Cut to Cabba in universe six. He is looking for that special
someone who can help his team win the tournament. He meets up with a guy named Renso who was
apparently his teacher. Renso is impressed by his super sayian transformation,
however when Cabba asks him to join Renso says he has a bad leg now and can’t
fight, but says his sister Caulifla can.
Not only that but she is much stronger than him!
Back in universe Seven Piccolo calls the training thus far a
warm up and says he is now getting serious. Gohan, already out of breath
responds by going Super Sayian two. Piccolo says Gohan has a weakness that if
he can’t overcome will knock him out of the tournament. In Super Sayian 2 Gohan
appears stronger, but Piccolo beats him with superior techniques. He says Gohan
is strong but doesn’t have a warriors heart, so he drops his guard in critical
moments) Piccolo says he has to lose his arrogance and fight with everything.
Gohan powers up again but Piccolo says super sayian isn’t his ultimate form,
and to use the power he had when he fought Majin Buu. Gohan transforms into his
“mystic” form and Piccolo begins attacking with everything he has. Gohan fends
off his tricks and chops off Piccolo’s arm Gohan is mortified but Piccolo congratulates
him, and then blasts him in the back with his disconnected arm. Piccolo tells
him never to drop his guard and they start again. They train until nightfall
and Gohan thanks Piccolo for the training but Piccolo says they have just
begun. He doesn’t believe Gohan has reached the full extent of his power. Gohan
agrees.
After the disappointment of last week this episode appeared
a breath of fresh air. Though it was somewhat predictable we got to see Gohan
and Piccolo in top form. My only real complaint was the art was a little iffy
in parts of the episode. I was happy to
see they addressed Gohan’s “mystic” form, which they seem to have forgotten
about the last few years. I hope the tournament has a lot more Gohan and
piccolo.
On another note I think Caulifla from universe Six might
become a fan favorite. She seems to be
the fem-Broly from the opening and previews who generated so much hype. The
clip we saw appears to show her running a gang. I look forward to her and Cabba
interacting.
The next episode appears somewhat less serious, but perhaps
more fun. Tenshinhan is running a dojo now and Goku is going to recruit him.
Tenshinhan is a horribly underused character so I am happy we’ll get to see him
in fighting form.
