It was nice to finally see Gohan and for Gohan to see how much Goku has developed. I am also glad that they're finally bringing back Pilaf. Pilaf and his henchmen are my favorite of the villains.

Is it me or did the tail bashing scene seem more sadistic in the anime then in the manga?

Not bad a bit slower but it's nice that they've catched up with Gohan, he sure looks pretty different to what I had imagined! Either way lets see what's next!

This was an awesome episode, nice to see Gohan and Goku reunited even if only for a day. Also, I knew as soon as Mai and Shu saw Goku's weakness something was going to happen to his tail. Poor Pilaf.

Fuck yes, Pilaf and company are back. Okay, they aren't a threat by any means but they are, imo, the most entertaining villains in the series yet.

Yeah, dat Pilaf luck.

Also, cool to see Goku meeting Gohan again. When a character pretty much never cries, you bet it adds a bit more impact when they do.

Son Goku lost his tail in the fight. Son Gohan gave up, so Son Goku won. Then a great and emotional reunion between Son Goku and Son Gohan! I'm glad to see Son Goku crying, he shed tears of joy.

Goku crying was really powerful, that's just not an emotion you often from the character.

Yeah, a little bit.


By the way Roshi just said that he drank the elixir of life and nobody noticed.

I mean, this is Dragon Ball. I accept that you can do that in this world

Hasn't he said that before? I'm pretty sure the characters knew that already. Alternatively this could be one of those talking to himself moments where he says it aloud but it's as if he thought it.

i think this is where dragon ball REALLY begins with all the big emotional moments. also i really like the bringing warriors back from the dead idea and hope something similar happens later on just so we can have some cool fights

This was emotional for both Goku and Gohan. This is the first time that I have seen Goku crying. The way his eyes started to move and tears began to form, what a precious creature. It is good to see a reunion between the two. I am curious as to what kind of place this other side is. One thing for certain, there are some beautiful women over there, consider how excited Gohan and Roshi were. Like a student like a master, it seems.

Pilaf and his gang are back. I did wonder where they have disappeared to. Now that they're up and running again, things are about to get amusing. Pilaf just never learns does he? He and his fellow henchmen are the team rocket of Dragon ball it seems like.

Oh my, what a heartwarming reunion between Goku and his grandfather. I could already see the joy in Goku's eyes. Now all that's left is to gather the last remaining Dragon Ball. Albeit, this can be tough, especially, knowing Pilaf.

This was good!!!

I am happy that Goku met his Grandpa and Gohan met his master. It was a good reunion. This episode was another flashback episode.

Good to see Pilaf back. Old villain, I missed him. Bad thing is he got a anti-radar case. But he will become a fool again.

Be prepared for getting beaten Pilaf!!!

So that's why Goku and company could not locate the last Dragon Ball. Pilaf and company used a special box to store it in that makes it radar proof! Not sure if Pilaf and company will return again but they do provide some comic relief. It was very nice to see Goku reunited with his grandpa, even if only for a day.

It was so cute to see Goku finally get genuinely excited and vulnerable about something, wow 🥺 I am ready for this arc to finally be over though, Goku better not struggle against PILAF( 🤦‍♂️) if he just won against his grandfather.

Goku meeting again with Grandpa Gohan is one of the most wholesome moments in the Dragon Ball franchise.
