The episode begins with Kuririn beating up criminals and
helping people as a policeman when Goku and Gohan stop by to recruit him.
Kuririn is quickly talked into it by his wife, but Eighteen refuses saying it’s
just a game and she has a daughter to look after. Goku and Gohan still aren’t telling people the
universe is on the line so to get her on board Goku lies that there is a ten
million Zeni reward. With that she is
in.
Before things progress however, Gohan challenges Kuririn to
a sparring match to see firsthand if he can handle a completion at this level. Gohan
comes in with some strong hits but Kuririn uses his new attack Taiyoken x100. With
his ki sense and vision blinded Kuririn quickly knocks him out of the ring.
Gohan and admits his inexperience with this type of fighting, and Goku is fired
up enough to fight Kuririn again.
Moving to the Satan building, the group decides to use the helicopter
pad on top for the fight. Eighteen is worried that Kuririn is still tired from
his last fight and that Goku has already seen his trick, but Kuririn is unconcerned.
Kuririn starts out with a ki barrage, trying to force Goku out of bounds, but
Goku goes Super Sayian. Kuririn hides his presents and nearly takes Goku out by
cutting the floor out from under him. Suitably impressed, Goku goes Super
Sayian Blue. Overwhelmed by the difference in power Kuririn begins to shake but
snaps out of it. Despite this he ends up in a beam struggle he has no chance of
winning until Eighteen jumps in and declairs they will beat Goku together. Goku
then powers down and admits he was approaching the tournament all wrong.
We also find out the Seventeen is working on a wildlife preserve
but Eighteen isn’t sure where so Goku is going to ask Dende.
This episode was pretty good. I only have two complaints:
Gohan looks goofy wearing the glasses with his gi, and some of the animation
looked a little funny throughout the episode. The stances didn’t look quite
right, and some of the fighting animation seemed kind of blocky; not smooth and
flowing like I like to see. Plot wise it
was interesting to see that at least under tournament conditions mere humans could
compete with Sayians. Kuririn is one of my favorite characters so it’s great to
see him get a clean win, even at Gohan’s expense.
