The search for Seventeen continues as Dende moves the look
out to the island Seventeen is staying at. Dende says he has a family now and
is nothing like he used to be. He also says Seventeen is much stronger than he
used to be. Dende also brings up the reincarnation of Majin Bu, who is
apparently a young prodigy. Dende asks Goku to train him when he is old enough.
Arriving at the island, Goku encounters Seventeen fighting a
large group of armed men. Apparently poachers in Dragon ball are armed to the teeth.
After Seventeen effortlessly beats them Goku introduces himself. After helping Seventeen
take out several more poachers and more talking Goku challenges Seventeen to a
match to test his strength. In the ensuing fight Goku is forced to go Super
Sayian Blue. Seventeen even blocks a Kamehameha
Seventeen calls a stop to the fight to protect the island. But both are suitably impressed by each other.
After a long talk, Goku finally gets to the point. But after hearing about the tournament,
and Goku’s fib about the ten million Zeni, Seventeen still refuses to join. He
is the only one protecting the island from poachers. Goku finally spills the
beans, but even this doesn’t sway Seventeen. Suddenly, aliens show up to raid
the island.
Ok I can only see this alien stuff as someone writing
themselves into a corner. Just let Seventeen join up. Everyone with a wife and
three kids cares if they get erased.
This episode was ok.
The fight was interesting but suffered from some bad animation in places.
Seventeen is an interesting character, though his decision not to join Goku at
the end makes no sense given what he said the rest of the episode.
Unfortunately the next episode looks like pure filler. I
wish they would just focus on getting ready for the tournament.
