Two Gohan episodes in three weeks? They’re really spoiling
us!
Starting off, Gohan is Meditating on a mountain with Piccolo
who tells Gohan his training is over and that before the tournament begins he
must test the extent of his powers.
Cut to Goku who is eating a meal on Tenshinhan’s tab. Goku
is talking about getting Roshi to train him until the tournament begins when
Gohan walks in. A two on two match is soon set up between Gohan & Piccolo
vs Goku & Tenshinhan. Tenshinhan suggests they go easy on them as to not
injure anyone before the tournament but Goku suggests that perhaps they are the
ones who should worry about injuries.
The fight begins and Gohan immediately takes the offensive against
Goku. They break, and Piccolo begins to power up. This prompts Tenshinhan and
Goku to attack but as they close in Gohan appears in front of them and knocks
Tenshinhan aside. Gohan and Goku begin fighting alone leaving Piccolo and
Tenshinhan to their fight. But has
Tenshinan begins his kikoho Gohan fires a small ki blast which interrupts his
attack. Gohan takes this opening to hit Tenshinhan again. As soon as Gohan has
taken care of Tenshinhan, Goku attacks and Gohan barely dodges. Using this as
an opening Piccolo attacks Goku who barely blocks only to be attacked again by
Gohan. At this point Tenshinhan calls an end to the match. The ring has been
completely destroyed. But Gohan isn’t satisfied, and challenges Goku to a one
on one.
Meanwhile in Universe 10, Gowasu is agonizing over who to pick
for the tournament, not wanting to select another bad egg like Zamasu. But the
universe 10 God of destruction, Rumooshi has already selected a team in his place.
He tells Gowasu he thinks to much with his head and to trust in muscle this
time. Satisfied Zamasu begins his speech but the warriors interrupt him to
drink protein shakes. He does not look happy.
Gohan and Goku each eat a senzsu bean and Goku powers up to
super sayian 2, Gohan goes straight into his ultimate form. Goku asks if he
will go super sayian but Gohan declares he is taking a different path from
Goku, a power up the universe has never seen before. Before long it seems Goku
has the advantage. But Gohan adapts and challenges Goku to use his full
strength. Powering up to Super Sayian Blue, and even unleashes Kaioken. As the
whole earth sakes, Gohan appears knocked out but tries to throw one last punch
before fainting.
Gohan thanks Goku for the match and apologizes for the troubling
Tenshinhan. Goku is nonchalant and appoints Gohan the team captain for universe
Seven.
This was a good episode, well animated by Super standards.
We didn’t get a Gohan win like I was hoping for but we established he is now in
the same league as Goku. Tenshinhan has gotten the short hand of the stick in
the last two episodes so I hope we get to see him do something a little more
impressive in the tournament. Dragon
Ball Super has impressed me the last three weeks. It almost feels like its
being made by people who know what they are doing. Too few episodes have felt
like that during Super’s run.
The next episode appears to be a transition episode. I doubt
I t will hold up like the last three but we will have to wait and see.
