I've just watched this episode yesterday. Yep, they are repeating frames often to make episode longer. Also there is many drawing mistakes.

Yup.

I enjoyed this episode, and the classic sign direction switch. ;)

I didn't really notice the repeated frames, because the fight against that skeleton robot was so entertaining, one of the best fights to now for sure!
Can't wait to see the next episode... I wonder if Kuririn is gonna face General Blue - I really want to watch him fight. After all he's Muten Roshi's student - there's no way he can't show acknowledgeable strength.

Anyone notice Bulmas panties magically changed colors lol? Either thats a drawing mistake or those are some high tech color changing underwear shes developed =P.

Anyway that robot sure was tough as nails that was a really good fight, I also liked how Bulma was actually pretty dam useful during it and wasn't just a cheerleader. Interested to see where Gokus path takes him and if Krillin fights general blue or not.

Maybe she had two pairs of those? The strawberry ones were special outside pantsu-shot panties, wereas undeneath she had more tiny, real red panties. And she probably took off the first ones along with her shorts before she dived to swim

Damn good battle, despite all the repeated frames. They really had to work to beat the Robot.

I'm getting anxiety with Bulma and Krillin holding their breath for so long. How do they know it's not going to be a dead end and run out of oxygen? omg

I did like the fight though

I'm not surprised at the repeated frames is pretty much par for the course for 80's Toei.

With the VA they casted they're really selling General Blue being gay xD "Ocean water is terrible for the skin!" I'm glad that we're in straight manga material right now, and I really hope the following arcs don't have nearly as much padding as the Red Ribbon saga has so far.

The fight sure was intense. Goku can crush rocks of the size of a small mountain, decimate airplanes and vehicles, bullets, bazookas, and man-made weapons don't have an effect on him, yet, this pirate robot withstood most of his and Krillin's attacks. That's certainly an acknowledgeable fighting robot.

And General Blue surveying the abilities of young Goku and Krillin made him praise them, especially Goku, noting his tenacity in particular when he was struggling under the rubble of rocks. He isn't as shortsighted as to ignore the writing on the wall, so to say. I am liking him so far. Hopefully, he doesn't end up being a disappointment as the rest of the key figures of The Red Ribbon Army.

Hmm, that was an intense fight. It was interesting to see both Goku and Krillin fight against such an advanced robot. I'm just curious as to the direction Goku is going now.

I find the design of the robot. Weird
It looks like one of the alien crystal skulls in Indiana Jones movie. However I liked how there were CV boots over the joints.

Man this Robot was a tough one. But there always a way for Goku. Even the robot could not defeat him. However I thought there was person instead of skeleton.

Okay, so Blue is thinking of taking down Bulma and Krillian because logically they will get the dragon balls. But as much we saw before Krillian is almost as good as Goku. I think he alone can take down Blue if believes in himself.

I hope Goku finds a way to others.

That robot had one of the coolest designs ever and the choppy animation and sfx only made it cooler IMO. I didn’t realize how much it resembled the Xenomoroph until it started tracking Bulma and Krillin down lol. It definitely overstayed it’s welcome with all those repeated frames, even if I liked seeing Goku and Krillin tag team it.

1/3rd the way done, I sure do wonder if Krillin will just one-shot Blue? Also damn, Goku just annihilated that pirate.

Man, as much as I love this show it really drags its feet in the Red Ribbon arc with this episode perhaps being the lowest point (though the upcoming Penguin Village stuff is ridiculous too). That stupid Goku running sequence earlier in the episode is probably the most flagrant re-use of frames I've ever seen in an anime. Would be wonderful if we could get a Kai-esque trimming of the fat for this someday; this fight could've been over in half an episode.
