Heh, Videl challenges Saiyanman to a fight. I think she is biting off a bit more than she can chew off but whatever. For a girl, she is tough at least.

Poor dinosaurs. I find Saiyaman's voice pretty funny in this episode for some reason.

Just watched the raw... it's DBZ... so meh... not that I can understand 90% of what they say...


Anyway, once this is completed and dubbed, there is literally no reason as to why you would want to watch the original DBZ (especially dubbed... trash Faulconer music... terrible dialogue which is heavily censored and horrendous acting which has improved greatly in kai)

when people think Gohan's kai dub voice sounds bad... I just... no... I just don't even know what to say... I wonder if they'll use the same VA for adult gohan though? I sorta hope so, it fits him.

Bruce's music was far superior from the Cell saga on. And the Voice acting as a whole was better in the English Funi Dub. As far for the translation, sure Kai has that but that's about it.

And Gohan's Kai dub voice is pretty terrible. Frieza's was a massive improvement though.

Videl's flight lessons are the best :D
And yeah, might as well watch RAW since the sub comes out relatively slow.

I've read the manga and understand Japanese alright, so I can watch the raw with little trouble. Plus, I'm sure everyone knows what DBZ's about.

There are some filler episodes here and there, but Kai beats the original in every which way. But I'm sure people will still be bitter about the Toonzai version and think that's the official version...
The one thing that I'd love to see is a lesbian yandere.

Nice and fun just how I like it hehe.

Videl is one sharp girl indeed. She immediately figured out Gohan's identity and that Goku is his father XD Well Gohan's inexperience dealing with women plays a factor too XD And she's cute to boot ^^

Well we obviously already know what happens to VidelxGohan but I'm trying to imagine how it would have felt watching it for the first time XD Many Shippers would love those interactions if DBZ aired in this decade XD (Me included hehe)

Trunks always has me laughing when he sees Gohan's lameness XD How he was spilling the juice from shock was so lol XD

And as usual Goku and his "Life in the other world" is so fun to see with how he can come back or whatever XD Vegeta fanboying there XD

Well nxt ep should be lots of fun and VidelxGohan shipping moments too hehe.
Trunks and Goten going SS will be hilarious to see XD

Good episode. I always like the light hearted ones before they transition to the fighting. Oh man Gohan thinking Cell vs Mr.Saten still gets me laughing after all these years. :D Poor Gohan he got blackmail good. Well at least he kept the other secret. Next ep should be a great one.

At least we don't waste time on something that was bound to happen from the get go.

Videl's and Trunk's reaction to the Great Saiyaman are the best. I really love the pacing so far.

Well It's not a show about the super heroes, it's about saiyans and they don't hide their identities but imagine if it was, usually characters from comics find some lame excuse and in the next episode everything is forgotten, gohan is still one of the dumbest characters though.

^Since always. They cut it out in the American dubs.

Doesn't matter what's happening, always a treat to watch x.x I honestly wouldn't mind if they were trolling and just re-airing old eps lol I never watched every single one of buu saga, so should be fun. So...Goku can hear everything all the time and can just chime in whenever...all knowing and all seeing...*shivers*

Great episode, man I'm loving DBZ Kai 2014. I watched the Buu arc 11 years ago and I didn't even watch it all, I missed a lot of episodes (I had an early bedtime) but yeah I'm enjoying this very much. I can't wait to watch next episode!

Gohan was never smart to begin with and he's really just playing super hero. Considering the situation it'd be weird if Videl doesn't figure out or forget about everything the next day. It's more like Gohan doesn't know how to handle Videl (she's his future wife after all).

In any case you should be glad they don't dilly dally on unimportant stuff especially in a mere opening arc.

I might be the only one, but I actually loved the Saiyaman arc in the original DBZ. I loved that relationship building between Gohan and Videl for some reason... They really skipped a ton of stuff in these episodes but that should be alright. The meat of the series is the whole Buu saga and the rest of the fights. It's been so long since I last watched these that I don't mind these quick episodes. Still, I wish that there could have been more Videl...

You know, I loved the Great Saiyaman episodes back on DBZ. They were funny, and we could see more about Gohan and Videl's relationship.

But I don't mind they skipped them here on Kai.

I gotten use to Goku's terrible japanese voice but having all his sons having the same voice actress is a little too much...
might discontinue this because I personally think buu is the weakest saga out in DBZ..

I like the intro and outro songs. Gohan is already wearing the bandana and sunglasses combo, after being blackmailed by Videl. He could have just flown away with the baby pterodactyl, but for the plot's sake, it's best to ignore that. Everyone wants to join the tournament all of a sudden. Even Goku. After being dead for years, the first thing he wants do to is fight. Typical Goku. Chi chi must be such a pain to deal with. XD
