Review of Dragon Ball Super Ep.93: The Fan Base Gets Pissed Off Again



When we left last off Goku got an idea, and the fan base lost their minds in a red haze of fanboy rage.

Goku explains that he wants to bring Freeza back for one day to compete. Everyone, including Kaioshin freaks out much like the fan base has. Vegeta insists they can win without Freeza so Goku asks Whis’s opinion on whether they can win. Whis pleads ignorance but suggests one universe has a mortal stronger than Beerus. Beerus objects to this claim but the seriousness of such a strong competitor silences the idea's critics. As Goku leaves for King Yemma’s check in station a mysterious figure observes from behind a bush.

King Yemma is surprised to see Goku and even more surprised to hear Goku’s plan. But after some convincing he signs onto the plan.

Meanwhile in Universe six Caulifla is trying to teach Kale how to transform but Kale insists she can’t do it. After showing her transformation and making Cabba do it, Kale is convinced into trying it but fails. Cabba suggests Caulifla’s descriptions are hard to follow, which makes her mad. Moving on Caulifla decides to try getting Kale angry and lets loose some half-hearted monkey based insults, proving she is no better at it than Cabba. She then insists Cabba try insulting her. He lets lose the same sort of lame insults he used before which makes her cry. Cabba and Caulifla fight but as she cries Kale begins to transform.

Changing settings, the guy hiding behind the bush was a spy from universe four. We get a short scene of them naming Freeza before we cut to Goku in hell, which doesn’t look half bad. He walks up to Freeza who ask why he is there, and Goku offers him the 24 hour pass.

Back in universe Seven Kale has turned rage on Cabba. Cabba transforms and fight her but doesn’t fair well. All the while Kale seems to be getting stronger and stronger. Caulifla steps in, apparently achieving Super Saiyan two and saves Cabba. Apparently Kale was mad because she thought Caulifla was attracted to Cabba, but after assuring her that wasn’t the case and saying how proud she was Kale collapses and his caught by Caulifla. 

Back in hell Goku has explained to Freeza bout the tournament off screen. Freeza is interested but decides to refuse Goku just to cause him trouble.  Goku seems to call his bluff and starts to walk away. Freeza stops him and tries to name terms: if they win Goku has to use the Dragon Balls to resurrect him. Goku objects but Freeza explains that he can get even stronger and fight Gokku again. Goku tries to change the terms but Freeza won’t budge. Goku agrees, telling him that Babba will be there for him later.

Back in Universe four they are still discussing Freeza when Quitela comes up with an idea to beat Universe seven: making Beerus disappear. 

Well, the fan base seems pissed off beyond belief, but I thought this episode was pretty good. I admit Goku agreeing to Freeza’s terms is stupid but this is Goku--the man who let Ma Junior, and Vegeta get away so he coul fight them again, so it well within his character. The big reveal of Kale being the legendary super Saiyan was anti-climactic, perhaps because we already had the spoiler. I was kind of shipping Caulifla and Cabba in my head so I am disappointed she says there is nothing there. They seem to have good chemistry. I do kind of enjoy the relationship Caulifla and Kale seem to have 
though. 

In the next episode it seems Goku’s decision to use Freeza backfires a little as Freeza decides to do a “warm up” It also looks like this might involve the plot against Beerus. In any case I haven’t been spoiled yet so my curiousity is peaked.
