There was a little too much bumbling for my taste. I am ready to see this fight get started!

Yeah I'm glad this guy isn't just some lucky idiot now that he stopped the act, I wonder who he is though. If he is some character we already know in disguise then considering his strength theres only a few people I can think of that it could be

Kuririn put up much more of a fight against Piccolo than I thought he would. I have a feeling I know who Shen is.

Shen finally shows his true colors.
Everybody's saying they know who he really is... but I can't think of who he could possibly be.

Perhaps Korin?
Isn't it possible that he's simply a new character, too?

Damn, Kuririn did well but Ma-Junior was too strong for him.
Lol, who the hell is Shen? He is just playing around with Yamucha...

I haven't a clue who Shen is either. Great fight by Kuririn, I hope Yamucha can figure something out against this old man.

I like how everyone was so proud of Kuririn, just for being able to stand up after Piccolo was done with him. I guess he did fight pretty well though. Not that I find Yamucha to be a particularly interesting character. But at this point even I feel bad for him. Not only is he always destined to lose to build stakes. Now he gets humiliated in front of everyone too. I was amused by his little breakdown though. Also given the talk of unnecessary movements I'm guessing the dweeb is Kami in disguise. That's kind of weird wonder what that signifies.

Yamacha just cannot catch a break at these tournaments..well except for his fight with Tien, he definitely caught a break there but I um doubt in the way he intended to.

Kirlin did well but Goku must be the one to take Piccolo down.

But just who the hell is Hiro?!

Isn't it kind of frustrating that you get beaten too easily?😩 At least Kuririn gave a good fight. This is probably the worst thing that could happen to Yamucha.🤦‍♀ And to top it off, he got humiliated in front of the audiences including his girlfriend! 🙈 Well! At least it wasn't Kuririn in his position because I would really feel bad for that.

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

Krillin did a great job of trying to keep up with Piccolo Jr. Seriously, kudos for Krillin. It was a sweet moment to see everyone cheering for Krillin after stepping down from the fight. What impressed me even further is the fact that Krillin knew when to quit, and didn't let meaningless pride get in the way by continuing a losing match after everything he dished out. He truly has come so far.

Hero, as suspected by a few others, is as powerful as his deceptive nature to have his enemies greatly underestimate him. His words about basically looking underneath the underneath and never judging power by appearances alone rang true. A piece of advice both Yamcha and Krillin need to take for granted. Still, poor Yamcha, I do feel kind of bad for the guy.

As I expected, Kuririn lost. He stood no chance, to begin with. Piccolo Jr. is the double of King Piccolo, the mazoku that almost conquered the planet three years ago, as well as got Kuririn and several other of Goku's friends killed. Still, Kuririn has grown severely since he was first introduced. I'm glad he is only but improving, despite the fact that he has lost a lot. Shen is quite a guy. I wouldn't be able to fight him seriously either - but would fail, laughing. Seems he was as deceptive in his appearance as Jackie was. This can be interesting.

15 Eps to go


That was an amazing match but due to imbalance of fighters we couldn't see more. Certainly Krillian was doing great. Junior was astonished to see his fight. A fighter like Junior was in a bit of difficulty. Krillian surely surpassed 3 years old Goku who almost had beaten Tien. But Junior is not an easy opponent. He is dangerous than Piccolo. Krillian did an intelligent thing by giving up. Stoping there was the best thing to do. I respect his decision.

I wonder from where Junior took his training. But he certainly is powerful. Even though he is villain but he impressed me by his decision taking and planning. He going with the flow until he is able to block it completely. This guy surely is impressive.

I knew Hero is not someone to be avoided. This guy came to semi-finals not by just joking around. Last time I thought him to be lucky but as the match started I remembered the fight between Jackie Chun and Goku in the finals. Goku did something like that at a point. And his missing hit and then Yamcha getting hit by accidently was quite a signal also. I think this guy looks similar to Crane Hermit but on a second thought he left the place with his brother. And we also saw him outside when hero was inside. This guy surely is mysterious.

Match #4 is the lamest fight in a long time man i really don’t care if this guy starts trying both are lame as f. I liked Yamcha too but it’s obvious how much he’s been pushed around even outside of this fight lmao.

This episode is pretty much the point where you can see Yamcha becoming the ultimate clown character in the series.

Writer really gave up on him and decided to humiliate him properly before making him a full blown NPC. It's hilarious.
