Review of Dragon Ball Super Ep. 92



Ohh Buu! (shakes head) 

Having heard Buu won’t wake up in the last episode Goku arrives at Mr. Satan’s house. Unable to wake Buu Mr. Satan volunteers to take his place until Goku reminds him of the fight he saw he reluctantly backs down.

Meanwhile Kuririn and eighteen show up with their daughter at Capsule corp. Kuririn is surprised Roshi isn’t there yet but Gohan tells him Roshi is training to overcome his only weakness.
The team finally gets back to talking about Buu. Gohan is told that if Zen oh says ten warriors than they need ten warriors and it’s up to him as captain to find someone. IN the ensuing discussion people figure out that Goku lied about the 10 million Zeni, but before the real secret is spilled they all feel Vegeta power up. He as once again destroyed the Hyperbolic time chamber. Popo will not be pleased.’

In between all of this we get peeks at universe eleven and two. We are introduced for a few fighters but not much happens. At least not much worth writing about.

In Universe six Cabba is teaching a bored Caulifla about becoming super Saiyan while Kale watches from behind a rock. Cabba tries getting her to go into a Super Saiyan rage with rather lame insults. This however seems to just piss her off. He explains that you need to get mad to learn the transformation. Asked if he is always made when he transforms he explains that once you’re used to it you can just focus power into a point on your back, but he thinks it’s impossible to learn the transformation this way.  Caulifa tries to imitate this and to Cabba’s surprise succeeds. She immediately decides to test her new power and blows Cabba and Kale away. After being taught she agrees to join the tornament and says she is bringing Kale with her. Caulifa challenges Kale to try the transformation but she insists she could never do it.

Back in universe seven Goku arrives at Capsule Corp to an angry Kuririn,Tenshinhan and pretty much everyone else. Confronted with the lie Goku laughs and promises to pay them with the money Mr. Satan gave him. Vegeta reminds Goku that Chichi has that money so he ask Bulma saying ten million Zeni is just like leaking a little pee to her. This goes over poorly but better than I expected.
But it turns out the reason they are really mad is because Goku didn’t tell them about the universe being threatened despite their longtime friendship. But after some begging from Goku and some threats from Beerus the team holds together, also Bulma says she’ll pay the prize money. 

There is still the problem of the tenth member. Beerus goes on a rant that the reason only goku and his friends can fight is because they destroyed the Freeza force, which gives Goku an idea…

The first half of this episode was pretty boring, very little important was said or happened. The parts about universe two and eleven were incredibly dull and didn’t need to be there at all. They left no impression on me.  But the second was great. Cabba and Caulifla are great characters. We also got to see an impassioned speech by Kuririn, which was humorously undercut by the fact Kuririn really is scared of the tournament. The art was at least on point, and the jokes tended to be somewhat funny. As another transition episode it was pretty good, or at least the second half was. 

I am interested to see where they are going with the Freeza angle, though I will miss not seeing Buu fight. I’ll reserve my final judgment on that until later.
