Review of Dragon Ball Super Ep.89



Tenshinhan’s turn this week, or rather Roshi’s.

Goku goes looking for Muten Roshi only to find out from Oolong that Roshi is working as a guest teacher at Tenshinhan’s dojo. At the dojo Roshi is lazing about, upset that all Tenshinhan’s students are all men, while Tenshinhan teaches. At that moment a young women appears. She seems to have a grudge against Tenshinhan but hides it. Roshi is thrilled. But Tenshinhan grills the young woman named Yurin on why she wants to be a martial artist. When she says it’s supposedly good for beauty he tells her to get lost. Roshi overrules him and carries the girl off to give her a “lesson”.  Right after this Goku flies in. Tenshinhan dismisses class, and we find out his dojo started because locals gathered around him when he was training nearby.Goku then brings up the tournament.

Cut to Roshi training Yurin. Roshi gives her a training uniform complete with a miniskirt. He then comments that her wickedness must be purged. Yurin thinks the jig is up, but it’s just another attempt of Roshi to feel her up. After escaping Roshi’s sexual harassment, Yurin comes upon Tenshinhan’s students who she says she can use.

Meanwhile Goku and Tenshinhan talk about the tournament. He declines because he can’t leave his students. Goku tries bribing him with Zeni which doesn’t work. Suddenly a villager pounds on the door, telling Tenshinhan his students are rampaging.
Back in Universe Six Cabba is trying to convince Caulifa to join the Universe six team. She tells him to get lost and one of her henchmen closes in. He goes Super Sayian and throws the guy with energy. Caulifa is intrigued by his power but still won’t join, but after a rather lame speech about greater heights she is finally interested.

Cutting back to universe Seven Tenshinhan’s students are destroying the village. Muten Roshi says they are under control of witch craft and to destroy the talisman on their foreheads. Chaozu tries using his Physic abilities but to no avail. At this point Yurin reveals herself and her desire for revenge on Tenshinhan. She also trained under the Crane style and decided she had to beat Tenshinhan…because he ignored her? 

Roshi says Tenshinhan doesn’t know how to handle women so he will fight her. Gou, Chaozu and Tenshinhan begin subduing his students while Muten Roshi faces off with Yurin. She is eager to beat up the perverted old man but has no luck. Muten Roshi is just too strong for her to hurt him.  But when Yurin falls he is momentarily distracted by her panties and taken down by a groin kick.
Now under her control, Yurin turns Roshi on Tenshinhan. Roshi bulks up, and Takes Tenshinhan down with some of his strongest techniques. Goku steps in.  Goku surmises Roshi has been doing secret training, and while he wants to fight him, says there is no time. As Goku charges a Kamehameha, meanwhile Chaozu flips Yurin’s skirt, stunning her which allows Goku’s hit to take out Roshi. 

Defeated, Yurin vows to get stronger and defeat Tenshinhan, but Tenshinhan offers to take her as a student, which she reluctantly accepts. Tenshinhan has also changed his mind on the tournament. He wants to use the ten million Zeni Goku promised to rebuild the town. Upon hearing about the money Roshi wakes up and joins as well. With eight hours until the tournament, the team for Universe Seven is assembled. 

This episode was fun. We haven’t seen Roshi in his prime, both as comic relief and a fighter in a long time. The episode was funny, and reminded me a good deal of early dragon ball. It was interesting to see Tenshinhan started a dojo, something that has been hinted at in the videogames. We also got some more clues about fem-Broly. Perhaps Caulifla is not the legendary Super Sayian like many of us thought.

The preview for the next episode has me really pumped. Goku VS a powered up Gohan. How I have waited.
