Goku is still pissed off about Jiren dismissing him. At the same time all
the other teams have decided he is vulnerable. Team three attacks Goku,
seemingly overwhelming him. Gohan wants to intervene but he has his own
problems in the form of two very strong Namekians from Universe six.
Meanwhile Kale and Caulifla are talking. After watching Son
Goku battle Jiren Caulifla is super excited. She thinks since she is a Saiyan
too she can get much more powerful. A
warrior named Monna interrupts their conversation. Caulifla is all fired up to
fight, but Cabba interrupts and says he will fight her. Pissed off to lose her
fight Caulifla stomps off.
Even in Super Saiyan form, Cabba doesn’t seem to be a match
for Monna. He soon finds himself on the edge of the arena. He is knocked off
the side of the ring, only to be caught by Vegata of all people. Vegeta looks
pissed off he had to intervene and throws Cabba back in the ring, then sends
Monna flying.
After Cabba thanks him, Vegeta knees him in the chest and
says he hates seeing weak Saiyans. He also reminds him of his promise to show
him the Saiyan home world. Furthermore Vegeta says he will use the super dragon
balls to resurrect universe six so Cabba can keep him promise.
Freeza, hiding behind a rock here’s the whole thing, but
before he interferes Monna is back and tries to steamroll Cabba again. After insulting
his teacher, Cabba manages not only to go super Saiyan again but Super Saiyan
two. Like an idiot Monna isn’t impressed an attacks him, only to get curb
stomped. With a huge ki blast Cabba knocks her out, but is exhausted in the
process.
Vegeta is satisfied by the fight and turns his attention to
Jiren. Toppo steps in but Vegeta isn’t interested in fighting the second tier
fighter, at which point Toppo points out he is also second tier. Vegeta goes
blue and starts fighting.
Meanwhile Freeza decides to fight Cabba, challenging Cabba
to come in at full power. This of course doesn’t do much and Freeza goes into
sadist mode. Cabba tries using the Garlic gun to defend himself but of course
this is useless too. Freeza goes golden, for what reason I have no idea, and
blows Cabba out of the ring. It seems he just really likes beating up Saiyans.
Goku and Vegeta end up back to back. This is in a great
image. Goku explains he is still recovering, and is fighting at less than full
strength. The fighting continues. The robots come at Goku and they are taken
out by Caulifla. Thanks to Cabba she has her power back and wants a rematch
with Goku.
I liked this episode. It had predictable moments but it was
not predictable in and of itself. The
animation was also good, and it advanced the plot and arcs of a lot of characters.
Vegeta really shined. He can’t stand being the object of hero worship but he
can’t ignore such honest feelings either. It shows the difference between his
cold exterior and his relatively recent development of compassion for others,
which has been slowing building since DBZ.
If I were to complain I would say that Monna was a lame heel
for Cabba to get his big victory on I would also allowing Cabba and Caulifla to
reach SS2 so easily is lame, there should be some serious tension for an in
battle transformation. Consider that Goku and Vegeta trained for years to break
that barrier, and Gohan nearly died in battle to do it. I also wish they would
show us the battle between the Universe six Namekians and Gohan and Piccolo.
Not only is the tag team element interesting, but Gohan and Piccolo are fan favorites.
Next episode seems like it might be interesting with Goku vs
Kale and Caulifla, but we will have to wait and see.
