- 1:15SPEAKER_00: That was all added.
- 1:15SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 1:16SPEAKER_00: Um, trivia.
- 1:17SPEAKER_00: Throughout the episode, both Goku and the narrator um refer to King Piccolo or Piccolo Jr.
- 1:22SPEAKER_00: as King Piccolo's ultra ego instead of his reincarnation.
- 1:26SPEAKER_00: Ulong mentions that he means a one-minute recovery time between shape shifts, yet in his debut episode he's shown doing it without any problems.
- 1:34SPEAKER_00: For the Funimation dub, we have a bunch of new voices, which I think we mentioned yesterday or last week.
- 1:40SPEAKER_00: Last week, yeah.
- 1:42SPEAKER_00: Um, though Stephanie Nodoni reprises Kid Goku in a later version.
- 1:47SPEAKER_00: And Lori Still returns as Kid Krillin and uh some other episodes.
- 1:52SPEAKER_00: In the alternate Blue Water dub, we also have other characters who have replaced all basically all of these ones are just people being replaced with voices for different characters in different languages and versions of the dub.
- 2:04SPEAKER_00: Um, this episode marks the debut of Goku's short-sleeved undershirt and striped boots, which have become part of his signature outfit through Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Dyma, and most of Dragon Ball Super until a different episode during that show.
- 2:20SPEAKER_00: All the other characters are outwardly surprised at how Goku has grown over the past three years.
- 2:25SPEAKER_00: In a and and a movie coming up way later down the line, it's clarified that Saiyan's tend to experience late but dramatic growth spurts, which explains Goku's growth.
- 2:37SPEAKER_00: Despite G Goku's new height, his the eye catches are not updated to reflect this.
- 2:42SPEAKER_00: Um Bulma's appearance is updated in the episode.
- 2:45SPEAKER_00: Now she has uh shoulder length hair again, wears pink uh earrings, red lipstick, and purple dress, um with the white belt and the uh red pouch and white boots.
- 2:57SPEAKER_00: Sorry, we're going through outfit stuff.
- 2:58SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 2:59SPEAKER_00: Um main appearance for drag for the rest of Dragon Ball.
- 3:02SPEAKER_00: Yamcha regains his long hair style.
- 3:05SPEAKER_00: He also gains more scars on his face, which are never addressed or explained.
- 3:10SPEAKER_00: Um Although Krillin is visibly taller, he's barely half the height of the now taller Goku, and the other fighters save Chatsu.
- 3:18SPEAKER_00: Krillin never grows any taller than then this appearance, establishing his signature short height.
- 3:23SPEAKER_00: Yamcha and Krillin wonder if Goku's tail will grow back after he got rid of it, um, which might be some foreshadowing this says here.
- 3:30SPEAKER_00: Um in the Japanese version, this is the first episode to use the fourth and final version of the ending.
- 3:36SPEAKER_00: Because a clean version no longer exists, Funimation does not use it, but still uses the second version of the ending.
- 3:41SPEAKER_00: In the fourth version of the ending, Yamcha's scars were missing uh while Goku's wore a blue undershirt instead of a black one.
- 3:48SPEAKER_00: Um this is the first episode to use music for mystical adventure.
- 3:52SPEAKER_00: The title of this episode is uh in the Funimation dub may be a reference to David Bowie's song Changes, which is what I thought about the ch changes.
- 4:05SPEAKER_00: Yeah, can't say anymore.
- 4:07SPEAKER_00: Um the manga version of this episode shows first shows Adult Piccolo in the World Tournament preliminary era in the anime.
- 4:14SPEAKER_00: He first appears, quote unquote, saving a woman and child.
- 4:17SPEAKER_00: The reason for this change is unknown, but it's likely that in the actual manga, uh, that the actual manga was at the point in which stuff happens that happens in Dragon Ball Z.
- 4:27SPEAKER_00: This is uh, you know, he might have already had some other stuff happen, you know, all the other stuff, you know.
- 4:33SPEAKER_00: Spoiler, spoiler, spoiler, spoiler, yeah.
- 4:36SPEAKER_00: Um, jumping into the second episode, let's look at differences and trivia.
- 4:40SPEAKER_00: Chiaotsu telepathically voicing concerns to Tien about Piccolo, um you know, telling him to be quiet is not in the manga.
- 4:49SPEAKER_00: Scenes of the crowd pushing and everything, not in the manga.
- 4:52SPEAKER_00: Yuung and Puar telling everybody all it happened, not in the manga.
- 4:55SPEAKER_00: Yajirobi as the masked man is already shown taking part in the plural energy at this point.
- 5:00SPEAKER_00: Whereas in the manga, he wasn't shown there until his fight with Hiro, which that happens later.
- 5:07SPEAKER_00: Japanese promo for this episode, depicting two previous installments, showed Piccolo Jr.'s uh turban having pointed dangly ends on the lower back.
- 5:16SPEAKER_00: Aside for one shot when Tien is observing him, um the ends were removed.
- 5:22SPEAKER_00: The turban also had these pointed ends in the manga for his debut, but it was also a face out of the design.
- 5:28SPEAKER_00: King Choppa said that he fought and survived when really he was killed and brought back from the life or brought back to life.
- 5:35SPEAKER_00: It's possible he either assumed he survived the fight or lied to save face.
- 5:39SPEAKER_00: This is the second episode to have the title Preliminary Peril, which was also in the T and uh Shinon saga.
- 5:45SPEAKER_00: This is also notable because King Choppa appears in both and gets his butt kicked in both.
- 5:49SPEAKER_00: Shotsu breaks the fourth wall when all the heroes are saying, This is great, none of us have to fight each other, which was because of that, where he, you know, he gives the V of the victory sign to the audience.
- 5:59SPEAKER_00: This is the second time the numbers are rigged because, you know, it ch he does it every time.
- 6:03SPEAKER_00: This is the first version of the episode where a character is now older and has a different outfit.
- 6:09SPEAKER_00: The character might be a name that Jesse might know and have an a theory about.
- 6:14SPEAKER_00: And have been repeating.
- 6:15SPEAKER_00: Mysterious lady.
- 6:17SPEAKER_00: Like 45 minutes.
- 6:18SPEAKER_00: We also now have more voice water, you know, voice acting changes for certain characters.
- 6:23SPEAKER_00: In the Blue Water dub of this episode is called The Tournament Begins.
- 6:27SPEAKER_00: In the original Japanese version of the anime manga, after Goku disappeared and uh stood behind King Choppa, King Choppa looked up to the sky, believing Goku was using the same trick as the last one.
- 6:38SPEAKER_00: Uh only to be knocked out.
- 6:40SPEAKER_00: Uh in the English dub, uh, he looked upward and called Goku a coward.
- 6:45SPEAKER_00: And that is all the you know the trivia and uh differences.
- 6:50SPEAKER_00: So, Jesse, previously on Dragon Ball.
- 6:55SPEAKER_00: It's time for tournament, everybody.
- 6:57SPEAKER_00: How's everybody doing?
- 6:58SPEAKER_00: Oh wait, nobody decided to show up.
- 7:00SPEAKER_00: Well, uh that might not be 100% true, because guess who showed up?
- 7:04SPEAKER_00: Goku wearing a new outfit and uh something covered in his hair because it was raining.
- 7:09SPEAKER_00: His voice sounds a little bit deeper, but also a little bit squeakier, and everybody is very confused until he takes the little takes the turban off the covering off of his hair, and oh, that's Goku for 100%.
- 7:19SPEAKER_00: And so he signs up, and then at the last second, he's like, What are we gonna have to do to get these people in?
- 7:24SPEAKER_00: He senses them a moment early, but then the gang shows up, the boys.
- 7:28SPEAKER_00: Yamcha, scarred as all get out.
- 7:30SPEAKER_00: Tien wearing like a rice farmer outfit, Chiatsu wearing the same rice farmer outfit, and Krillin pimped out to the nines, all roll up.
- 7:39SPEAKER_00: We get a very nice, lovely um reuniting between Goku and his boy Kay Rillin, and then they all sign up ready to go to the tournament.
- 7:47SPEAKER_00: Meanwhile, on a rainy night in the middle of the city.
- 7:51SPEAKER_00: Piccolo saves some people from some falling stuff, but then also is kind of a jerk about it as he walks away.
- 7:57SPEAKER_00: Next day starts, and it's time to have a preliminary fight.
- 8:01SPEAKER_00: So what does that mean?
- 8:02SPEAKER_00: King Chopper's gotta get his butt kicked.
- 8:04SPEAKER_00: And also there's a girl there.
- 8:05SPEAKER_00: I wonder who this girl could be.
- 8:07SPEAKER_00: She's very mysterious, but seems to know Goku quite a bit.
- 8:11SPEAKER_00: And that's kind of it.
- 8:12SPEAKER_00: Except for wait a minute, who's that?
- 8:14SPEAKER_00: Chiatsu lost?
- 8:16SPEAKER_00: How did he lose?
- 8:16SPEAKER_00: Oh, it was to Mercenary Tao, who's back from the dead.
- 8:20SPEAKER_00: And that's what you missed on Dragon Ball.
- 8:22SPEAKER_00: Jesse, go for it.
- 8:24SPEAKER_01: This was fun.
- 8:27SPEAKER_01: Like it's it's a f these are fun episodes.
- 8:29SPEAKER_01: Again, it's it's the tournament arc.
- 8:31SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 8:31SPEAKER_01: And as we've said it for every other tournament arc, we are both suckers for tournament arcs.
- 8:36SPEAKER_01: So obviously we're having a lot of fun now.
- 8:38SPEAKER_01: Uh pull back the curtain a little bit.
- 8:40SPEAKER_01: Like a minute after we finished recording the last Parkers episode, when I had all my predictions for what these episodes were about, Truman immediately looked at me and was like, so the tournament act tournament actually starts literally next episode.
- 8:51SPEAKER_01: I'm like, dang.
- 8:52SPEAKER_01: So I missed a couple of those uh predictions, I know that for certain.
- 8:56SPEAKER_01: But that's later in the episode.
- 8:58SPEAKER_01: For now, like, this is a great start.
- 9:02SPEAKER_01: Like it's a fun way to introduce everybody.
- 9:04SPEAKER_01: Like everyone's late, which means that they immediately like they the first time they ever see each other is on screen, which is a funny way to do that.
- 9:11SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 9:12SPEAKER_01: And with that everyone beginning to be each other again.
- 9:17SPEAKER_00: You get those surprises of like, huh, look at Goku.
- 9:21SPEAKER_01: You know, like no one recognizes what Goku looks like.
- 9:23SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 9:24SPEAKER_01: And then like Krilla's like, look at me, I got so much taller.
- 9:27SPEAKER_01: And then Goku walks up and behind him, and Krillin has to hide his jealousy, like, man.
- 9:31SPEAKER_01: But also Krillin does get to thank Goku for s keeping him alive.
- 9:35SPEAKER_00: It was a very heartfelt uh reunion between those two guys.
- 9:39SPEAKER_00: Because you if you weren't if you don't remember, like Krillin was never got to say goodbye to Goku.
- 9:44SPEAKER_00: He was killed before like before Goku could get to him, and never got to say thank you to Goku after he saved him.
- 9:50SPEAKER_00: Uh or you know, brought him back from the dead because Goku was already on the lookout and wasn't like wasn't allowed to come back, basically.
- 9:58SPEAKER_01: And so go in order to revive everyone, Goku had to sacrifice uh three years of his life.
- 10:06SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 10:07SPEAKER_00: And so with that, like Krillin just you know was alive again and was like, I don't know what happened, and then everybody told him, and he never got a chance to say thank you.
- 10:16SPEAKER_00: And so he gets to finally say thank you to him, and it's just, you know, it's a very sweet moment between like two bros just broing out.
- 10:23SPEAKER_00: Yep, you know.
- 10:24SPEAKER_01: And the jealousy comes a few scenes afterwards.
- 10:26SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 10:27SPEAKER_01: We also have uh we've also noticed in these episodes that Roshi has hit his quota real fast less than a minute on screen uh after the intro or after the song in the intro.
- 10:39SPEAKER_00: Bulma gets out of the car and he goes gaga over Bulma.
- 10:42SPEAKER_00: Goo goo gaga.
- 10:43SPEAKER_00: Just immediately.
- 10:43SPEAKER_00: Yeah, goo goo gaga and D.
- 10:46SPEAKER_00: Um but yeah, it's just it's quite a wild situation to be a part of.
- 10:50SPEAKER_00: It's just like, holy crap, man, like Roshi, what why?
- 10:55SPEAKER_01: What are we doing, bro?
- 10:56SPEAKER_00: You know this lady.
- 10:57SPEAKER_00: You know she's not she's not gonna consent to this.
- 11:00SPEAKER_00: You know, why do you continue to do that?
- 11:02SPEAKER_01: It's also now that I think this is the first tournament saga with launch, where at least so far she has been a nice launch, like purple launch.
- 11:16SPEAKER_01: Yeah, she's purple launch right now.
- 11:17SPEAKER_01: I don't remember if she was purple launch at all last tournament saga.
- 11:22SPEAKER_00: She was a little bit during the first one.
- 11:23SPEAKER_00: Like it was kind of off.
- 11:24SPEAKER_00: They used that as a gag a few times where she would change back and forth during the first tournament.
- 11:29SPEAKER_01: But they seem pretty committed to just having her be nice launch for now.
- 11:33SPEAKER_00: At least for now, yeah.
- 11:34SPEAKER_00: She probably will change once the tournament proper starts, and they need to get her, they need to have an excuse for all the characters to be up at the front row.
- 11:41SPEAKER_00: It's like, well, the excuse is that she's just gonna blow everybody away.
- 11:45SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 11:46SPEAKER_00: Um, but on Funko Watch, we have a new Funko Pop.
- 11:52SPEAKER_00: It is Piccolo Jr., otherwise known as Piccolo.
- 11:56SPEAKER_00: And uh unfortunately, because of the where I got it from Facebook Marketplace, uh the box is quite scuffed, but the Funko Pop itself is safe.
- 12:05SPEAKER_01: The main thing is safe because uh yeah, we are buying them to display, but the main thing you're trying to display is the Funko Pop in One Piece.
- 12:14SPEAKER_00: And it is in one piece, except for not in one piece, if you know what I mean.
- 12:17SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but it's not in one piece.
- 12:19SPEAKER_01: It's a one piece, but no one piece.
- 12:21SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 12:21SPEAKER_00: Um but I also might have teased Jesse that there was a second Funko Pop, but we just haven't confirmed on who the second Funko Pop is.
- 12:29SPEAKER_00: Right now, the second Funko Pop is a mysterious lady showing up at the tournament.
- 12:33SPEAKER_01: Mysterious girl who's definitely not Chi Chi.
- 12:35SPEAKER_00: What, Jesse?
- 12:36SPEAKER_00: You think is Chi Chi?
- 12:38SPEAKER_00: Um, it might be.
- 12:39SPEAKER_01: I've been telling Truman for the last like 35 minutes.
- 12:42SPEAKER_00: Basically, since she showed up on screen at the beginning of preliminary pearl.
- 12:46SPEAKER_00: Like, yeah.
- 12:48SPEAKER_00: I know exactly who this is.
- 12:50SPEAKER_00: I've seen uh quite a few.
- 12:55SPEAKER_00: She's she's not as well known culturally, but that doesn't mean there aren't memes and jokes about about her herself.
- 13:03SPEAKER_01: Yeah, like like I've seen funny comic strip memes of her and Goku, like adult versions, like these this versions interact with each other.
- 13:11SPEAKER_01: I know it's Chi Chi.
- 13:12SPEAKER_01: Or counterpoint, it's Sano.
- 13:14SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's Sano who dyed her hair.
- 13:17SPEAKER_01: And is mad at Goku and somehow learn that like martial arts really fast in like three years.
- 13:22SPEAKER_00: She can learn.
- 13:23SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 13:24SPEAKER_00: You know, as we know, this tournament's a crapshoot, so like outside of like the few characters we care about, this tournament is a crapshoot.
- 13:31SPEAKER_00: So you know, may maybe Sano learn.
- 13:34SPEAKER_00: I mean, she did have Ader there.
- 13:35SPEAKER_00: Maybe Ader could teach her how to fight good, even though he was a pacifist.
- 13:39SPEAKER_00: You know, who knows?
- 13:41SPEAKER_00: But yeah.
- 13:41SPEAKER_00: Um, it might be Chi Chi.
- 13:44SPEAKER_00: I can't promise, Jesse.
- 13:46SPEAKER_00: Might not be, you know.
- 13:47SPEAKER_00: We'll never know until probably next episode.
- 13:51SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I bet at some point the mysterious girl and Goku are gonna have to fight and then we'll learn who she is.
- 13:56SPEAKER_01: We'll we'll never know until after the preliminary rounds when everyone meets and like all the eight like final fighters meet, and Chi Chi's in the final fight, and they say her name, and Goku's like, oh no, I'm so stupid.
- 14:08SPEAKER_01: That's why she was mad at me.
- 14:10SPEAKER_01: I wonder.
- 14:11SPEAKER_01: It's my it's my soon-to-be wife.
- 14:15SPEAKER_00: Well, if it is Chi Chi, technically she's already his wife.
- 14:19SPEAKER_01: Well, I don't really I think the marriage that Chi Chi went through with was only to um I'm blanking on his name.
- 14:27SPEAKER_01: Piloth?
- 14:28SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Pilaf.
- 14:29SPEAKER_01: Only like the Pilaf Goku.
- 14:31SPEAKER_00: Oh right, alright.
- 14:32SPEAKER_00: I guess in sound mind of the city.
- 14:34SPEAKER_01: He then showed up after they had been married.
- 14:37SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 14:38SPEAKER_01: But like, you know, you can't forge someone's name on a official government document, so legally they're not married until Goku signs the paper.
- 14:47SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 14:48SPEAKER_00: Um, and then yeah, I mean, generally it was a you know, we had a good time with it.
- 14:52SPEAKER_00: It was just not a like these episodes were fun.
- 14:56SPEAKER_00: They were good setups, you know, not to just randomly hard cut there.
- 15:00SPEAKER_00: But these episodes were a were are very good setup for the tournament.
- 15:03SPEAKER_00: We're finally like getting the tournament rolling.
- 15:06SPEAKER_00: You can kind of feel, not looking at the episode count, you can kind of feel that we're like towards the end of the show at this point.
- 15:12SPEAKER_00: We everyone's grown up, like everyone's ready.
- 15:15SPEAKER_00: We're in the battle, we're in the final battle, you know.
- 15:18SPEAKER_01: It's the final county.
- 15:22SPEAKER_00: That's it.
- 15:23SPEAKER_00: Um, but yeah, it's uh I'm very excited to get into these episodes.
- 15:27SPEAKER_00: And speaking of getting into these episodes, let's start with the beginning of the first episode.
- 15:32SPEAKER_01: And so yeah, these are the first episodes in a while, which is exciting that we don't really have like to talk about an A and B plot.
- 15:40SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's all pretty linear.
- 15:42SPEAKER_00: Like there is like cutaways to like I guess the the running B plot is what are what is Roshi and the girls plus uh uh oolong doing, like they're just kind of in the masses, and then oolong and poor kind of fly in to check on the results.
- 15:57SPEAKER_00: But like other than that, uh yeah, there's not really a B plot.
- 16:00SPEAKER_00: It's all linear A plot baby.
- 16:03SPEAKER_00: We're smashing the A button, and so does it get into the A-plot for the for the boys and girls at home.
- 16:09SPEAKER_01: So yeah, I mean we talked for through most of the A-plot of like the first 10-ish minutes, I would say, of episode one, where it's mostly just everyone showing up for the tournament, realizing that oh yeah, three years have passed for everybody, so everybody kind of looks different.
- 16:25SPEAKER_00: Bulma's a little older.
- 16:27SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 16:31SPEAKER_00: Um Tian, Chiatsu, Krillin, Yamcha all look like different and older.
- 16:37SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Yamcha has multiple new scars on his face for no reason, never addressed, never explained.
- 16:44SPEAKER_00: Um Krillin's like, I've got so much bigger, Roshi.
- 16:47SPEAKER_00: Roshi starts chuckling.
- 16:50SPEAKER_00: He's an absolute pimp.
- 16:52SPEAKER_00: Oh my goodness.
- 16:53SPEAKER_00: He is he shows up where he's got that crap.
- 16:58SPEAKER_00: He's got the yellow, he's got the yellow oversized puffer jacket, the yellow pants that go with it, the Kameh house snapback.
- 17:06SPEAKER_00: Boy, is looking fly for an 80 1980s white guy.
- 17:11SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 17:12SPEAKER_00: And then he's like, yeah, he's like, I'm so tall.
- 17:16SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Roshi's just like chuggling into himself as Goku walks up from behind.
- 17:21SPEAKER_01: Hey Krillin, I'm up here now.
- 17:23SPEAKER_01: Krillin shocked and then like thankful that he's alive.
- 17:26SPEAKER_01: So he finally gets a chance to, as we mentioned, finally gets a chance to thank Goku for reviving him.
- 17:32SPEAKER_00: Tien and the direct Tien, Yamcha, and Shatsu in that beginning scene are just kind of there as background.
- 17:39SPEAKER_00: Like it is literally like Goku meeting the other people, Goku meeting Krillin, and the other guys are there.
- 17:44SPEAKER_01: You know, and the other guys are there like happy to see everybody, but yeah, it's mostly about Krillin thinking Goku and saying that Goku's tall.
- 17:52SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 17:53SPEAKER_00: And I mean that's honestly pretty pretty nice for me.
- 17:56SPEAKER_00: I love Krillin.
- 17:56SPEAKER_00: Krillin's my favorite character, but and then we flash them like in the hotel and they're having a conversation.
- 18:01SPEAKER_00: Goku immediately falls asleep.
- 18:03SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 18:04SPEAKER_00: Goku's like, yeah, it was really tough training.
- 18:06SPEAKER_00: And then Krillin's like, yeah, mine was pretty tough too.
- 18:08SPEAKER_00: Anyways, Goku, you want to talk?
- 18:10SPEAKER_00: Goku's dead asleep.
- 18:12SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 18:13SPEAKER_00: And we cut to Tien who is uh fiercely meditating.
- 18:17SPEAKER_01: And he's like, Goku I don't care what how Goku is trained.
- 18:20SPEAKER_01: I will beat him.
- 18:22SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 18:22SPEAKER_00: And also Yamcha being like, all I've thought about for the last three years is this tournament.
- 18:27SPEAKER_00: It's my time to get back at this tournament.
- 18:29SPEAKER_00: Like, this is my get better tournament.
- 18:31SPEAKER_00: I got embarrassed at the last one.
- 18:32SPEAKER_00: I'm ready this time though.
- 18:34SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm gonna win.
- 18:35SPEAKER_01: And then, of course, we flashed to the piccolo scene where we're like, yeah, Piccolo's here.
- 18:40SPEAKER_00: Order farming as always.
- 18:41SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 18:42SPEAKER_00: And this is the piccolo, as Jesse won't asked me, and I confirmed off can off uh microphone, is the piccolo that Jesse knows from the cultural like osmosis.
- 18:53SPEAKER_00: This is the piccolo.
- 18:54SPEAKER_00: Yeah, this is the piccolo.
- 18:55SPEAKER_00: Piccolo prime, piccolo proper, no more piccolo junior.
- 18:59SPEAKER_00: This is piccolo.
- 19:00SPEAKER_00: Number one dad piccolo.
- 19:01SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 19:01SPEAKER_00: Well, we don't know about that yet.
- 19:03SPEAKER_00: Um that's just the joke.
- 19:04SPEAKER_01: That's how that's how I really know about it.
- 19:06SPEAKER_00: Finally, talk over.
- 19:10SPEAKER_00: That's my favorite joke.
- 19:11SPEAKER_00: You've seen that one, right?
- 19:13SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 19:13SPEAKER_01: That's Jim's favorite meme.
- 19:16SPEAKER_01: We finally found him.
- 19:18SPEAKER_01: Talk over.
- 19:22SPEAKER_00: That one's my favorite.
- 19:25SPEAKER_01: I like the ones where they animate him like getting on his knees and screaming over.
- 19:30SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 19:30SPEAKER_00: He's pretty he's pretty great.
- 19:32SPEAKER_00: Piccolo is a fun character.
- 19:33SPEAKER_00: He's a he's a fan favorite.
- 19:36SPEAKER_00: Yeah, people love him.
- 19:37SPEAKER_00: I mean, they love him so much that even though I haven't seen the movies, I know at some point he gets his own like super saiyan in one of the movies.
- 19:43SPEAKER_00: He's able to go like super super Namecia, super alien, whatever he is, you know.
- 19:49SPEAKER_01: He's he's now a dude Piccolo.
- 19:53SPEAKER_00: But yeah, he he gets his own form change it later on.
- 19:56SPEAKER_00: I don't know what it's called, I don't know why, but he gets to go like beyond plus ultra.
- 20:01SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 20:01SPEAKER_00: Allusion to his other character voice name.
- 20:04SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 20:05SPEAKER_01: Um allusion to what else else uh Chris about uh voices.
- 20:10SPEAKER_00: Um but yeah, uh that you know generally that's kind of it.
- 20:13SPEAKER_00: And Piccolo, you know, saves saves people, quote unquote.
- 20:16SPEAKER_00: Like he does save them kind of as like a show of power.
- 20:20SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 20:20SPEAKER_00: And then like instead of helping them up, taking care of their stuff, making sure they're safe, he walks away, stomps on it looks like a pizza box.
- 20:29SPEAKER_01: Like a pizza box, toy box, something, whatever the kid was carrying.
- 20:32SPEAKER_00: And then like the clock breaks and almost smashes right into him.
- 20:36SPEAKER_00: Um but Piccolo, quote unquote, saves some people and walks away.
- 20:40SPEAKER_00: And that's kind of the end of the first episode.
- 20:42SPEAKER_00: It kind of just ends on the cliffhanger of uh oh.
- 20:45SPEAKER_00: Piccolo's here.
- 20:46SPEAKER_00: Piccolo's here.
- 20:47SPEAKER_00: We knew he was gonna be here.
- 20:48SPEAKER_00: Goku was ready for him, but like How will we handle this new threat?
- 20:53SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 20:54SPEAKER_00: And then we jump to this, you know, or we jump to the second episode.
- 20:58SPEAKER_00: Uh no, yeah, yeah, it is the second episode, because then Goku does the whole tail thing.
- 21:02SPEAKER_00: We see that he doesn't have a tail anymore.
- 21:04SPEAKER_01: Everyone's getting ready for the preliminary rounds.
- 21:06SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 21:06SPEAKER_01: Like the festival's kind of going off.
- 21:08SPEAKER_01: You have like some fireworks going, things like that.
- 21:10SPEAKER_00: Ever the all the gang all the fighters are getting in the main hall for the preliminary rounds.
- 21:15SPEAKER_00: Preliminary rounds.
- 21:16SPEAKER_00: And everyone's like, Lieutenant Dan, where's your tail?
- 21:20SPEAKER_00: And Goku's like, ah, I lost my tail.
- 21:22SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 21:23SPEAKER_01: When I realized, like, if I got rid of my tail, the moon would come back.
- 21:25SPEAKER_01: I just I decided I'd do it because that seemed like the right thing to do.
- 21:28SPEAKER_00: I like the moon.
- 21:29SPEAKER_00: It's pretty.
- 21:30SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's pretty.
- 21:30SPEAKER_00: Last time we looked at it, I don't really remember what happened after, but it was really pretty.
- 21:33SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the course Earlin and Yamsha look at each other like, ugh, what a good idea.
- 21:39SPEAKER_00: And then immediately, mist there's a mysterious lady who walks up to our boys.
- 21:44SPEAKER_00: Definitely not Chi Chi.
- 21:46SPEAKER_00: Might be Chi Chi, might not be Chi Chi.
- 21:48SPEAKER_00: Who knows?
- 21:48SPEAKER_01: She says hello, she says hello to Goku particular.
- 21:52SPEAKER_01: Goku particular.
- 21:53SPEAKER_01: Goku's like, Do I know you?
- 21:55SPEAKER_01: And then she screams bloody murder.
- 21:56SPEAKER_00: And screams so hard that their whole arena gets not like every It's like an earthquake in the arena.
- 22:02SPEAKER_00: And then Krillin and uh Yamcha play their hand way too fast, being like, oh my gosh, that girl is cool.
- 22:10SPEAKER_00: Do you know that girl?
- 22:11SPEAKER_00: You slide a dog, Goku.
- 22:12SPEAKER_00: She's pretty.
- 22:13SPEAKER_00: Can I have her number?
- 22:16SPEAKER_01: Not knowing that they're destined to be married.
- 22:19SPEAKER_00: If it's Chi Chi, they might be destined to be married.
- 22:22SPEAKER_00: But we still don't know.
- 22:23SPEAKER_00: She's just Mystery Woman.
- 22:24SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Mystery Woman number four.
- 22:26SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 22:26SPEAKER_00: I mean, Goku is Goku is known for on his many travels, stumbling across a village with a young girl that is around his age and her falling in love with him.
- 22:36SPEAKER_00: Maybe it's the girl from Thunder Mountain.
- 22:38SPEAKER_00: Could be.
- 22:38SPEAKER_00: Could be.
- 22:39SPEAKER_00: Could be, never know.
- 22:40SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 22:41SPEAKER_00: We don't know if that happens in the present or the past.
- 22:43SPEAKER_00: Could be in the future.
- 22:44SPEAKER_00: Maybe, you know, I don't know.
- 22:46SPEAKER_02: Whatever.
- 22:47SPEAKER_00: But we finally get, you know, we get our classic uh Chiatsu.
- 22:52SPEAKER_00: Why is Chiatsu here?
- 22:53SPEAKER_00: To rig these rig these votes.
- 22:55SPEAKER_01: Rig it so when nobody has to fight each other.
- 22:58SPEAKER_00: Rig it so all of us get to hang out in the finals, you know.
- 23:01SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Piccolo.
- 23:02SPEAKER_01: We don't have to fight Piccolo in the preliminary.
- 23:03SPEAKER_00: All we gotta worry about is Piccolo, and then all of us will be there.
- 23:06SPEAKER_00: And oh no! Chatsu loses.
- 23:11SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah, we should also mention Yajurobi is here.
- 23:13SPEAKER_01: Yeah in the Luchador mask.
- 23:15SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Jirobi.
- 23:21SPEAKER_00: He's here, yeah.
- 23:22SPEAKER_00: He's wearing the Luchador mask, and he also is trying to sneak into the trying to break into the groups too.
- 23:28SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 23:28SPEAKER_00: There probably is a few extra spots.
- 23:30SPEAKER_00: Like let's let's run down the list of named characters at the end of this episode.
- 23:33SPEAKER_01: So we know um Goku is first bracket one.
- 23:37SPEAKER_00: We're gonna have Goku Krillin.
- 23:38SPEAKER_01: Krillin is second bracket one.
- 23:40SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 23:41SPEAKER_01: And then Tien, I think is.
- 23:43SPEAKER_01: Tien and Yamcha are both in two.
- 23:44SPEAKER_01: Yeah, both in two.
- 23:45SPEAKER_01: One bracket one, one bracket.
- 23:46SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 23:46SPEAKER_01: Chiyatsu is bracket one of three.
- 23:48SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 23:49SPEAKER_01: Presumably Piccolo is probably bracket thracket two of three.
- 23:55SPEAKER_01: And then you'd have to may well.
- 23:58SPEAKER_00: Okay, so we got Goku, we got Krillum, we got Yamcha, we got Tien, we've got Chiatsu, ends up turning into mercenary Tao, we've got um presumably Mystery Girl, Piccolo, and then Yajurobi.
- 24:11SPEAKER_01: We see Chi Chi and Mystery Girl and Yajurobi.
- 24:15SPEAKER_01: We see them fight before like in the same time frame that like Chiatsu is fighting.
- 24:22SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 24:22SPEAKER_01: So we can presume Piccolo is final bracket four.
- 24:26SPEAKER_00: We see his as four, but we know he's in the four.
- 24:29SPEAKER_00: They put him away from everybody else.
- 24:31SPEAKER_00: We know him.
- 24:32SPEAKER_00: We know that Mystery Girl, Yajurobi, and Tao were not accounted for on the rigging.
- 24:38SPEAKER_00: But I'm just trying to count through the characters that we will have left, you know?
- 24:42SPEAKER_00: We got Goku, we got Tien, we've got um Yamsha, Krillin, uh we've got presumably Piccolo, we've got presumably Yajurobi and Mystery Girl.
- 24:51SPEAKER_00: And then it was gonna be Chiatsu.
- 24:52SPEAKER_00: Chiatsu's like, I got a free ride, baby, and then Mercenary Cyborg Tao pull.
- 24:57SPEAKER_00: Cyborg Tao shows up.
- 25:00SPEAKER_00: That might have been the craziest pull in this episode.
- 25:03SPEAKER_00: Like, there were some cool stuff in this episode, but were you expecting Mercenary Tau to come back?
- 25:07SPEAKER_01: I was not, absolutely not.
- 25:08SPEAKER_01: The moment of love field.
- 25:10SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we're not.
- 25:11SPEAKER_01: I was thinking, like, how does this become preliminary peril?
- 25:14SPEAKER_01: Because everyone should just like one-shot 90% of people here.
- 25:17SPEAKER_00: There's no way Because we rigged it, no one should not make it.
- 25:21SPEAKER_00: Yeah, there's no way there's preliminary peril, TN and Krillin fighting in the second round.
- 25:25SPEAKER_00: Like it's like, no, everyone's making it to the finals.
- 25:27SPEAKER_00: We don't need to worry about this.
- 25:29SPEAKER_00: I it could've I thought it was an illusion because Choppa's back, and it's like, well, we're gonna have Choppa and Goku fight again, which we'll get to.
- 25:35SPEAKER_00: But like, Tao.
- 25:37SPEAKER_00: Like, Tao gets pulled out of nowhere.
- 25:39SPEAKER_00: The first time I watched this, I was like, what?
- 25:40SPEAKER_00: What how is he back?
- 25:43SPEAKER_00: Blown up by a grenade.
- 25:44SPEAKER_01: And then he explains it like, oh, he's cyborg assassin tal.
- 25:47SPEAKER_01: But that's at the very end of the episode.
- 25:48SPEAKER_01: It's kind of the cap-off of the ep into the episode.
- 25:51SPEAKER_00: With zennies and a whole lot of luck.
- 25:54SPEAKER_00: You two can look like me.
- 25:57SPEAKER_00: Kachao.
- 25:59SPEAKER_00: And Chiatsu gets cachowed.
- 26:01SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 26:01SPEAKER_00: And Chiatsu is out of the tournament.
- 26:04SPEAKER_00: We are down to We have lost one of our named characters on the character.
- 26:08SPEAKER_01: We did have to hit the quota of characters of at least one named character not making it to the final.
- 26:16SPEAKER_01: So I guess if you look at the roster right now, the one that everyone cares the least about is Chiatsu.
- 26:23SPEAKER_00: We still have not seen Goku and Chiatsu talk.
- 26:25SPEAKER_00: They never spoke to each other.
- 26:28SPEAKER_00: They haven't had a conversation so far.
- 26:30SPEAKER_01: Well, they I think they've talked to each other last tournament.
- 26:35SPEAKER_01: And also, I think they talked to each other when they first met with like the the big the pig boar thing.
- 26:42SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but that's completely filler.
- 26:43SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 26:44SPEAKER_00: That's completely filler.
- 26:45SPEAKER_01: But like canon talking, I think.
- 26:46SPEAKER_00: I don't think they talked during the first tournament because uh Chiatsu was the the foil for Krillin and Tim was the foil for Goku.
- 26:53SPEAKER_00: So they basically like some of the things.
- 26:57SPEAKER_01: So like they presumably were they were in the same conversation together.
- 27:01SPEAKER_01: I don't know if they addressed each other differently.
- 27:03SPEAKER_00: I'm not a defender of Chiatsu.
- 27:05SPEAKER_00: I'm not a big fan of Chiatsu.
- 27:06SPEAKER_00: It's like, oh no, Chiatsu's dead.
- 27:08SPEAKER_00: Anyways, moving on now.
- 27:09SPEAKER_00: Let's get on.
- 27:10SPEAKER_01: Let's get back to what it's not even funny like when Yamsha did it.
- 27:14SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's not even a funny one.
- 27:15SPEAKER_01: It's like depressing.
- 27:16SPEAKER_01: It's like, oh no, the kid, the little kid's gone again.
- 27:18SPEAKER_01: Oh my gosh, they TN'd.
- 27:20SPEAKER_01: They killed Kenny.
- 27:21SPEAKER_00: Tao just kicked the crap out of that small child.
- 27:24SPEAKER_00: Oh my god, Nikki Kenny.
- 27:27SPEAKER_00: You you bad people.
- 27:29unknown: Yeah.
- 27:30SPEAKER_00: Um, but they yeah, they they just immediately move on from that, which is fine by me because I'm not a big fan of Chiatsu.
- 27:37SPEAKER_00: I'm a known Chiatsu not liker.
- 27:40SPEAKER_00: Um and but let's go back to the beginning of the tournament.
- 27:43SPEAKER_00: Goku is the first match of the day.
- 27:45SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 27:46SPEAKER_00: As per usual.
- 27:47SPEAKER_00: And he draws a very familiar photo of him.
- 27:50SPEAKER_00: King Chapa.
- 27:52SPEAKER_00: Who is either oblivious to what happened, you know, high on his own supply, or lying.
- 27:57SPEAKER_00: It's one of those three.
- 27:59SPEAKER_01: Probably lying to look better.
- 28:01SPEAKER_00: Yeah, because he's like, I fought tambourine and won.
- 28:05SPEAKER_01: And survived.
- 28:07SPEAKER_00: And it's like, no, you fought tambourine and you got killed, and I saved your butt.
- 28:12SPEAKER_00: Thank you very much, you're ungrateful.
- 28:13SPEAKER_00: But obviously, Goku's not the kind of guy to take that kind of credit.
- 28:16SPEAKER_00: Also, he doesn't really know that that really happened.
- 28:18SPEAKER_01: Yeah, all he knows is that he definitely brought Chi uh Chiyatsu, uh Roshi, and Krillin back because those are the only characters he cared about bringing back.
- 28:28SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but he said everyone who was killed by Piccolo's and Piccolo's monsters.
- 28:32SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 28:32SPEAKER_00: And so who knows, maybe he did Choppa did fight him often long enough, and he got, you know, Tamperin got bored and went and fought somebody else.
- 28:40SPEAKER_00: And just never made his way back.
- 28:41SPEAKER_00: You know, something like that.
- 28:43SPEAKER_00: But uh Choppa's like, I'm here to get my get back.
- 28:46SPEAKER_00: Before you came around, I was the champion.
- 28:49SPEAKER_00: And Goku's like, well, I'm sorry, sir, but there's a new champion in town.
- 28:53SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 28:54SPEAKER_01: And just he just toys with him and beats him immediately.
- 28:58SPEAKER_00: It like literally, like, Goku doesn't put his eyes on Choppa for like the first half of the fight.
- 29:04SPEAKER_00: Three quarters of the fight.
- 29:06SPEAKER_00: Goku is fully staring at Piccolo off on the side, just like, hmm.
- 29:12SPEAKER_00: And Choppa's like, are you not gonna Okay?
- 29:15SPEAKER_00: And like runs to punch him.
- 29:17SPEAKER_00: He gets kind of a little psyched out at one moment because Goku is so focused singularly on Piccolo.
- 29:22SPEAKER_01: Like his Goku's like actual aura is so large that like you can see Choppa being like recognizing he's not gonna win, but he doesn't want to like push it.
- 29:31SPEAKER_01: He's not just gonna like step out of the ring.
- 29:33SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he's not gonna just forfeit without at least throwing a punch.
- 29:36SPEAKER_00: And so he goes to throw a punch and Goku moves so much faster than we've ever seen him move before.
- 29:41SPEAKER_00: Like he's just and then just chops him in the neck, falls over.
- 29:45SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but he he does toy with him a bit where Choppa's like, Where are you?
- 29:49SPEAKER_00: Where are you hiding?
- 29:50SPEAKER_00: Goku, come here and find me uh that's that's it.
- 29:54SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 29:55SPEAKER_01: Like it's as easy as you expect it to be.
- 29:58SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 29:58SPEAKER_00: But Jesse pointed out something while we were watching it that is really important.
- 30:02SPEAKER_00: That like the the reason they get the reason the writers pinned Choppa and Goku together is because the last fight, it was still easy for Goku, but it was more difficult, you know.
- 30:12SPEAKER_01: Yeah, like it's it's a great way to show how much stronger Goku has gotten since the last time he had to face Choppa.
- 30:20SPEAKER_01: Because the last time he faced Choppa, like it was actually like semi-ish difficult.
- 30:25SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 30:26SPEAKER_01: Like Goku had to put forth a little bit, a little bit more effort than you would think in a preliminary round.
- 30:30SPEAKER_00: And he had to show off his show off more of his hand.
- 30:33SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 30:33SPEAKER_00: Because he had to show off the full, like, because Choppa was when he did the full XL of his body to stop his weight from falling to the ground.
- 30:39SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 30:40SPEAKER_00: And so like he had to show off a special skill and technique to like beat Choppa.
- 30:45SPEAKER_00: But like here he's just like, yawn, snap, you're you're done.
- 30:49SPEAKER_01: Like every like all the other fighters that don't know who Goku is pretty much are like, wow, that's that's insane.
- 30:56SPEAKER_01: And like everyone else, like Piccolo, TN, Yamcha, and all them are like, that's Goku's barely even like that's the equivalent of like waking up and stretching.
- 31:05SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 31:05SPEAKER_01: After a nap.
- 31:07SPEAKER_00: Yeah, literally Piccolo goes, they're so these these foolish mortals are so enamored with uh with this trick, and Goku isn't even show isn't even like partly even going hard.
- 31:19SPEAKER_00: And but but in my defense, I still think I can easily beat him because like this is pretty pretty childlike stuff.
- 31:25SPEAKER_00: Like surely he's not that strong.
- 31:27SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 31:28SPEAKER_01: If this is him playing around, I know I have him.
- 31:30SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 31:31SPEAKER_00: Because that was too powerful for playing around, that kind of thing.
- 31:35SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 31:35SPEAKER_00: Um, but then you know, we get to see Mysterious Woman win a fight, we get to see Tien win a fight, we get to see Yamcha win a fight, Yajirobi just.
- 31:43SPEAKER_00: We get to see Krillin win a fight, we get to see Yajirobi just hammer our game.
- 31:48SPEAKER_00: Yeah, ring somebody's bell.
- 31:49SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and then we get to see Uchiyatsu lose a fight, because Tao is back.
- 31:53SPEAKER_00: And honestly, it is a like we talked about how crazy it is that he is the character they decided to pull back, but also it's like, what a great character to bring back.
- 32:02SPEAKER_00: It's a great character.
- 32:03SPEAKER_00: Tao is like a perfect bad guy.
- 32:05SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's a perfect bad guy for this situation because you're sitting in a in a world where, you know, last fight, the f the motivations for Tien was Goku killed Tao, go I hate Goku, I need to get my revenge, or I have to kill Goku for revenge.
- 32:22SPEAKER_01: And he's so fueled by hate him and Chiatsu are by Shin.
- 32:27SPEAKER_01: Like, that's the overarching investment for Tien in this fight, beyond like obviously in beating Goku there.
- 32:35SPEAKER_01: So now it's like, well, he does want to beat Goku, but we know deep down Tien is not going to beat Goku because he's probably gonna get beat by Piccolo before the final and whatnot.
- 32:44SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 32:44SPEAKER_01: So his his arch nemesis in this fight, in this tournament, is now like on the same level as Cyborg Tal.
- 32:52SPEAKER_01: Presumably that is what we're setting up here.
- 32:54SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 32:55SPEAKER_01: And it seems the most lackable.
- 32:57SPEAKER_00: It gives you a second subplot in that once we break into the bracket with the eight named characters we've already named here.
- 33:03SPEAKER_01: Like we as of now, we can guarantee it's Goku, Tien, Yamcha, Krillin, I'm staying as Chi Chi, Mystery Girl, Yajurovi, Piccolo, and now Cyborg Cal.
- 33:16SPEAKER_01: Those are gonna be our eight.
- 33:17SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 33:18SPEAKER_01: We know that for a fact.
- 33:19SPEAKER_01: It's just like literally next episode, we're probably gonna skip all the preliminaries and just get to the final one.
- 33:24SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 33:24SPEAKER_00: And so, like, with our with those eight characters, we have the subplot of who is this mysterious woman and what does she want with Goku?
- 33:32SPEAKER_00: Why is she so dead set and angry at him?
- 33:34SPEAKER_00: No one knows that Yajorobi's here.
- 33:36SPEAKER_00: Uh Yajorobi is benchmarking.
- 33:38SPEAKER_00: He's probably comic relief because he normally is.
- 33:41SPEAKER_00: So we're gonna get comic relief.
- 33:42SPEAKER_00: Maybe him and Yamja have a very hard fight in the first round where one of them barely wins just to get smacked by whoever's next.
- 33:49SPEAKER_00: You know?
- 33:49SPEAKER_00: That's probably what's gonna happen.
- 33:51SPEAKER_00: Uh you've got Krillin trying to prove himself after dying.
- 33:54SPEAKER_00: And uh presumably he presumably he'll learn about Piccolo during the bracket.
- 34:00SPEAKER_01: Here's here's what my guess for the bracket is.
- 34:02SPEAKER_01: You can put this, you can write this down as predictions if you want to.
- 34:05SPEAKER_01: But this is my prediction for the for the bracket.
- 34:07SPEAKER_01: And I'll let you get it pulled up before I ready to go.
- 34:10SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 34:10SPEAKER_01: My prediction for the bracket is first round.
- 34:12SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be Goku and Chi Chi, who I'm calling a Chi Chi.
- 34:17SPEAKER_01: Mysterious Chi Chi.
- 34:18SPEAKER_01: We're gonna have Goku Chi Chi, and then we're going to have probably Yajorobi Yamcha, Tien, and Tao, Krillin and Piccolo.
- 34:28SPEAKER_01: I don't know in what area they are, but that's those are the two sides of the bracket.
- 34:31SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 34:32SPEAKER_01: And then obviously you're gonna have Goku move on.
- 34:34SPEAKER_01: You're gonna have I'm gonna say Yajorobi's gonna move on.
- 34:38SPEAKER_01: It's either whoever wins is gonna be beat by Goku anyway.
- 34:40SPEAKER_01: So I'm gonna say Yajorobi moves on.
- 34:42SPEAKER_01: Because it just makes sense to have them to have him fight Goku or have to fight Goku.
- 34:46SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 34:46SPEAKER_01: You're then gonna have TN versus Piccolo, and then Piccolo's gonna win, Goku's gonna win, it's Goku versus Piccolo in the final, and obviously Goku's gonna win that.
- 34:54SPEAKER_00: So you said Goku v.
- 34:55SPEAKER_00: Yajorobi in the second round, and then TN versus Piccolo.
- 35:01SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 35:01SPEAKER_01: And then you're gonna have Piccolo versus Goku in the final.
- 35:04SPEAKER_01: And then Goku wins the final.
- 35:06SPEAKER_00: And we've got T N.
- 35:08SPEAKER_00: Sorry, I'm writing it all down.
- 35:10SPEAKER_00: Um, and then you said Goku versus Piccolo final.
- 35:14SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 35:14SPEAKER_01: And then Goku wins.
- 35:15SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 35:15SPEAKER_00: Obviously.
- 35:17SPEAKER_01: That feels impossible for Goku not to win this one.
- 35:20SPEAKER_00: Okay, gotcha.
- 35:21SPEAKER_01: But that that's what that's what I'm guessing by just the conflicts we have sitting here.
- 35:25SPEAKER_00: But but just to get back into this conflict, you have Krillin who is probably, if you're correct on the bracket, is gonna find out mid-battle that he's fighting picking.
- 35:34SPEAKER_00: That fighting the guy who like caused his death.
- 35:37SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 35:37SPEAKER_00: Um, or fighting like the living embodiment of the guy.
- 35:40SPEAKER_00: Well, it gets kind of complicated complicated when you break it down.
- 35:43SPEAKER_00: But basically, he's fighting the guy who killed him.
- 35:45SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 35:45SPEAKER_00: Um, you've got Tien fighting like what he could have been if he hadn't had a change to him.
- 35:51SPEAKER_00: Fighting his demons, basically.
- 35:52SPEAKER_00: Fighting his demons.
- 35:53SPEAKER_00: You've got T you've got Yahobi and Yamcha just having fun.
- 35:57SPEAKER_00: Who are probably the most the the lowest powered characters here who have the least investment.
- 36:04SPEAKER_00: So my my thought is I would swap them on the bracket.
- 36:07SPEAKER_00: I would say TN is gonna fight Goku in the second round.
- 36:09SPEAKER_00: I this is me not fully remembering what happens, but it would be like it'd be like a cool show for Goku of like this is how much further he's gotten.
- 36:17SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that could also be.
- 36:18SPEAKER_00: But that way, whoever the joke character is like, oh boy, I made this sent me.
- 36:22SPEAKER_00: Oh you know, even like you could swap Krillin into one of those Gajarobi Yamcha spots and kick the other one off to get beat by Piccolo.
- 36:30SPEAKER_01: It just makes sense to me that like, well, the two that the two that have the least chance of winning, that's not who I'm calling Chi Chi.
- 36:38SPEAKER_01: Because I'm pretty sure she's gonna have to fight Goku.
- 36:41SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 36:41SPEAKER_01: And that's when it's gonna be revealed, oh, you're my you're my future wife.
- 36:45SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 36:45SPEAKER_01: Uh but Mysterious Woman, but yes.
- 36:47SPEAKER_01: Mysterious woman is my future wife.
- 36:49SPEAKER_01: But it just makes sense that Yadurobi and Yamchi are gonna have a hard-fought battle to see who somehow, because of proceeding, gets to move on to a semi-final.
- 36:59SPEAKER_00: The greatest four-five matchup of your entire life.
- 37:04SPEAKER_00: Um, because Krillin is like a capable fighter, you know, it would be nice to not see him get waxed round one.
- 37:13SPEAKER_00: Which is why I think they could use those two characters that we obviously know are about are two or three steps below the upper tier of these characters.
- 37:21SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you could you could have it be like, well, because I you have to have Tien fight um.
- 37:28SPEAKER_01: Tien and Tal have to fight.
- 37:30SPEAKER_00: And obviously then Goku and Goku and Mysterious Woman are gonna have to fight.
- 37:33SPEAKER_00: So you have four characters that you can interchange mostly.
- 37:36SPEAKER_00: Piccolo can fight any of those three.
- 37:38SPEAKER_01: Like it could it could be Krillin, Yamcha, Yajurobi, Piccolo, just to kind of throw Yajorobi to the wolves.
- 37:46SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 37:46SPEAKER_01: And then you have Krillin get beat by Piccolo around two.
- 37:49SPEAKER_01: And I guess that's the only other way you could do it is have Yamuck.
- 37:52SPEAKER_00: Or have Krillin, Yajorobi, Yamcha loses to Piccolo.
- 37:55SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like someone that was.
- 37:56SPEAKER_00: Any of those three can fight Piccolo around.
- 37:57SPEAKER_01: I think it's it would make it be fun to watch, just because of the training arc, Krillin.
- 38:02SPEAKER_01: I think in that situation you have to have Krillin, Yamcha, Yajiro, Piccolo.
- 38:06SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 38:06SPEAKER_01: Because there is investment between Krillin and Yamcha.
- 38:09SPEAKER_00: And then Krillin wins, Yajorobi gets waxed, Piccolo, the in that fight, Piccolo reveals himself.
- 38:15SPEAKER_00: Krillin is too psyched out to win the fight, even though he probably wouldn't win on power alone.
- 38:20SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 38:20SPEAKER_00: But like.
- 38:21SPEAKER_01: And then you obviously you still have you're no matter what, you have to have Goku and Piccolo on opposite sides of the bracket.
- 38:28SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they're they're they're the one seeds on their on the respect, or they're the one and the two seed.
- 38:32SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 38:33SPEAKER_00: You know, they're on the opposite sides, you know.
- 38:35SPEAKER_01: But like th those are the only two ways I think I can see it, just because you have to have some sort of investment in at least three of the four matches.
- 38:42SPEAKER_01: Because that's literally what we've done for every other tournament.
- 38:45SPEAKER_00: Honestly, like the the like C so the only other person who has seen Piccolo in the flesh and lived besides Tien and Chiatsu is Yajorobi.
- 38:56SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 38:56SPEAKER_00: Because uh Roshi dies, Krillin dies, Yam or Yamcha wasn't there.
- 39:02SPEAKER_00: And yeah, and Chiatsu is there.
- 39:03SPEAKER_00: And Chiyatsu also died, and Chiyatsu's out now.
- 39:06unknown: Yeah.
- 39:07SPEAKER_00: Tao is not important enough to fight Piccolo.
- 39:09SPEAKER_00: It's way more fun to put him and Tien against.
- 39:11SPEAKER_01: Him and Tien have to fight just for the revenge at some point.
- 39:14SPEAKER_01: Uh there's no way Chao is making it out of the first round.
- 39:17SPEAKER_00: Yeah, if you are correct that the mysterious woman is Chi Chi, it would make a ton of sense.
- 39:23SPEAKER_00: They have to fight because otherwise, like, why is she here?
- 39:26SPEAKER_01: You have to have them fight round one because she's not making it out of round one.
- 39:29SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and fighting anybody.
- 39:31SPEAKER_00: She can maybe beat Yajerobi or Yamcha.
- 39:33SPEAKER_00: Like, from what we saw, she's strong enough to win one of those fights.
- 39:36SPEAKER_00: But like, there's no way they're gonna do that.
- 39:38SPEAKER_01: They're not gonna waste that fight and have like because who else is Goku gonna fight in round one?
- 39:43SPEAKER_01: Because everyone else he whacks, and everyone else is too important and has some other investment on who they have to fight.
- 39:48SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and also you could look at it as like Goku's not here to fight Tao.
- 39:52SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 39:53unknown: Yeah.
- 39:53SPEAKER_01: I think we're having this conversation.
- 39:54SPEAKER_01: We're gonna find out in the next episode.
- 39:55SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we're gonna find out in the next episode, but it is fun to talk about.
- 39:58SPEAKER_00: Those are the only two possibilities, yeah.
- 40:00SPEAKER_01: Like those those are the only realistic, I think, bracket possibilities.
- 40:04SPEAKER_01: It's either you have Yadurobi and Yomcha fight each other, or you have Krillin fight one of those two.
- 40:09SPEAKER_01: Or you have I always say you have Yajorobi fight Piccolo and it's Krillin and Yompch at round one.
- 40:14SPEAKER_01: And then Krillin because Krillin has made it to the second round every other tournament, so it doesn't make sense.
- 40:19SPEAKER_00: It wouldn't make sense for him to fall back a seed just because of bad luck.
- 40:23SPEAKER_00: They would keep him going to the second round.
- 40:25SPEAKER_00: It could honest be honestly be TN and Piccolo on the other side, and Krillin and Yamcha in the other side, and Krillin has to fight Goku.
- 40:32SPEAKER_00: Like it could be either way.
- 40:33SPEAKER_00: Once you get there, you could be either way.
- 40:35SPEAKER_00: You know, Tien would have the revenge against Piccolo for killing.
- 40:39SPEAKER_01: But then you also have the investment of you you're gonna have the rematch or the final last last you know, three years ago.
- 40:44SPEAKER_01: In the semis.
- 40:45SPEAKER_01: In the semis, and then have the new final.
- 40:48SPEAKER_01: Because you do like Tien is like Tien is was originally here to measure up against Goku.
- 40:54SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 40:54SPEAKER_01: And now you introduce a new foil, so he has to fight that new foil in the round before fighting Goku.
- 40:58SPEAKER_00: Yeah, for sure.
- 40:59SPEAKER_01: So that's why I'm saying, like, I think Tien, I think.
- 41:02SPEAKER_01: You think those two are on the side of the Large.
- 41:04SPEAKER_01: One side has to be Goku, Chi Chi, Mysterious Girl, whatever you want to call it.
- 41:07SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 41:08SPEAKER_01: Tien and Cyborg Tao.
- 41:11SPEAKER_01: And then the other side.
- 41:12SPEAKER_01: Is a wild west of what it could be anything.
- 41:15SPEAKER_01: It has to be in my mind, Krillin, Yamcha, Piccolo versus Yab Ji Robi.
- 41:21SPEAKER_01: Or the other slight possibility is one I originally said, which is Krillin, Piccolo, Yajorobi, Yamcha.
- 41:28SPEAKER_01: But you brought up the good point of I think Yab Jarobi's here as a sacrifice, and we get to see Krillin outpower Yamcha and then face Piccolo in the final.
- 41:36SPEAKER_01: Or not in the final, in his final.
- 41:37SPEAKER_00: It could also be fun to watch Krillin and Yanjarobi fight as two characters that don't have not interacted once at this point.
- 41:45SPEAKER_00: Like it could be it would my fanboy and me would like to see the two new characters fight each other, but like the two new to each other characters fight each other.
- 41:53SPEAKER_00: You know, like Goku's old friend versus his new friend type thing.
- 41:56SPEAKER_01: But it also he also comes back to the like The storyline.
- 41:59SPEAKER_01: Like the storylines of you know, Yajorobi was scared to fight the original Piccolo, so it would be interesting to force him to fight a version of Piccolo.
- 42:07SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he might be.
- 42:09SPEAKER_00: Honestly, he might just like give up.
- 42:11SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 42:12SPEAKER_00: He's just pick up them just like, alright, I had a good run.
- 42:14SPEAKER_00: Eighth place sounds good to me.
- 42:17SPEAKER_01: The thinking about that has sold me on the fact that that that it has to.
- 42:20SPEAKER_01: This is the full bracket.
- 42:22SPEAKER_01: It's Goku who I'm versus who I'm saying is Chi Chi.
- 42:25SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 42:25SPEAKER_01: It is T N versus Tao.
- 42:28SPEAKER_01: It is Krillin versus Yamcha.
- 42:32SPEAKER_01: And it is Yajorobi versus Piccolo.
- 42:35SPEAKER_01: And that's because like it you have, you know, the Goku finding out that it's Chi Chi, is what I'm calling his Chi Chi.
- 42:41SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 42:42SPEAKER_01: You have TN getting his revenge on like his like getting conquering his bad side.
- 42:48SPEAKER_01: Well, like what he could have been.
- 42:50SPEAKER_01: You have Krillin and Yamsa are kind of settling that score, I think, for good that Krillin is better than Yamsa.
- 42:56SPEAKER_00: Yeah, who is like the best of the the Z fight, or who is the best of the of the Kame House fighters?
- 43:02SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 43:03SPEAKER_01: And then like who's second best between them two?
- 43:06SPEAKER_01: And then you you have Yajirobe possibly getting over his fears of fighting Piccolo.
- 43:11SPEAKER_01: We don't know.
- 43:11SPEAKER_01: We'll see.
- 43:11SPEAKER_00: More likely than not, he just throws in the towel on the East.
- 43:14SPEAKER_01: And that might be the order in which you have the fights.
- 43:16SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
- 43:16SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 43:16SPEAKER_01: Maybe the order is a little different, but that's that's the size of the bracket.
- 43:20SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 43:20SPEAKER_00: I I honestly the more we talked about it, the more it sounded.
- 43:23SPEAKER_00: Like we kind of got, I think we got to it, you know.
- 43:25SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 43:26SPEAKER_01: Um like we kind of talked ourselves.
- 43:27SPEAKER_01: We we we brought up our own points both sides, and we got to where if it's not that, I would be incredibly surprised.
- 43:35SPEAKER_00: And that's been bracketology with Drummond and Jesse.
- 43:37SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 43:38SPEAKER_00: Tune in next week to see how well we did.
- 43:40SPEAKER_01: Um next week to see how well we did, and tune in uh next March to see how we do for that one.
- 43:46SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 43:46SPEAKER_01: When we start our sports podcast for one episode predicting the bracket.
- 43:51SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 43:52SPEAKER_00: Um, but yeah, it's just, you know, the the episodes are fun, tournaments are fun.
- 43:56SPEAKER_00: We love we've all every time we see get a tournament arc, we're like, we love.
- 44:00SPEAKER_00: Tournament arts.
- 44:00SPEAKER_00: And this is no like no fluke.
- 44:03SPEAKER_00: This is no different than those ones.
- 44:04SPEAKER_00: It's a good tournament and it's a good time.
- 44:07SPEAKER_00: And uh, Jesse, do you have anything else to add to the this episode that we've been doing?
- 44:11SPEAKER_01: Not really.
- 44:11SPEAKER_01: I mean, it's it is exciting.
- 44:13SPEAKER_01: We didn't really talk too hard about seeing Tao come back.
- 44:16SPEAKER_01: I don't remember.
- 44:17SPEAKER_01: But like it is exciting to see him come back.
- 44:20SPEAKER_01: And I guess if you're gonna find anyone to round out this named cast of characters, and not just a ringer like this as a good one.
- 44:31SPEAKER_01: Yeah, like and not just have Chiatsu versus Krillin for like the third time or whatever.
- 44:35SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but it like take it if we do it, like if we if if we were removed Tao from the equation, the bracket does get fun.
- 44:42SPEAKER_00: Because then you could have uh Krillin versus Yajirobi, you could still feed Chiatsu, you could feed Chiatsu to Piccolo, uh, just to get him out of the way.
- 44:50SPEAKER_00: You could have the rematch Yamja versus Tien.
- 44:53SPEAKER_01: Like it interests it up, but I think this kind of sets in stone like people having character art.
- 45:00SPEAKER_00: There is more to this tournament than just see our see our friends fight.
- 45:03SPEAKER_00: There are other sticks.
- 45:05SPEAKER_00: Tien now has a vengeance because anytime Chiatsu is as a hurt, Tien is ready to like kill people.
- 45:12SPEAKER_00: Like, is he gonna be able to fight Talon, not kill him, you know?
- 45:16SPEAKER_00: Like, there's so many opportunities for good stuff.
- 45:19SPEAKER_01: There's there's a lot of twists and turns coming up here.
- 45:22SPEAKER_01: Especially, like, again, if I'm correct, and I I can't imagine myself not being correct at that.
- 45:27SPEAKER_01: Is Chi Chi, I'm like a hundred percent certain that's Chi Chi.
- 45:30SPEAKER_00: It can be anyone, honestly.
- 45:31SPEAKER_01: So like you have the the F uh domestic abuse.
- 45:35SPEAKER_01: No, it's consensual, it's not abuse.
- 45:38SPEAKER_01: They're both they're both signed up for this.
- 45:40SPEAKER_00: They both signed up for a fight and they're both there to fight.
- 45:42SPEAKER_00: And it's it's within rules, there's no killing, there's you know, fighting, but there's no like there's rules.
- 45:48SPEAKER_00: There's no police reports.
- 45:49SPEAKER_00: Yeah, there's well, there's no like they're they're gonna stop at a certain point.
- 45:53SPEAKER_00: Goku's not gonna like even if he like even if it isn't chi-chi, Goku's not just gonna beat the crap out of somebody to the point where they can't win.
- 46:02SPEAKER_00: Especially if there's somebody's uh that is outclass, like whoever this girl is, is completely outclassed.
- 46:06SPEAKER_00: He's gonna just chop her.
- 46:08SPEAKER_00: He would just push her out of the ring.
- 46:10SPEAKER_00: Like, pick pick her up and throw her out of the ring.
- 46:13SPEAKER_00: Like, I take it.
- 46:15SPEAKER_00: Why don't we take the mysterious woman and put her out of the ring?
- 46:21SPEAKER_00: But Dusty, you already jump into predictions?
- 46:23SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I can imagine I did very good.
- 46:25SPEAKER_00: You said that the boys go to the tower and Goku learns to control spiritual energy.
- 46:29SPEAKER_00: Yep, that was completely wrong.
- 46:31SPEAKER_00: The tournament starts.
- 46:32SPEAKER_00: That was right, though.
- 46:33SPEAKER_00: Uh King Chopper will be there at least once and get easily beat by Piccolo Jr.
- 46:38SPEAKER_00: I was wrong, you got 75% of that prediction right.
- 46:41SPEAKER_00: You just picked the wrong combatant.
- 46:43SPEAKER_00: Um, but Jesse, you want to hear the name of the next episodes?
- 46:47SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 46:48SPEAKER_00: Well, the name of the next two episodes are Battle of the Eighth and Tien Shinhan versus Mercenary Tal.
- 46:55SPEAKER_00: Jesse, what do you think's gonna happen in these two episodes?
- 46:58SPEAKER_00: Battle of the Eighth?
- 47:00SPEAKER_00: Battle of the Eight.
- 47:02SPEAKER_00: Of the Eight?
- 47:03SPEAKER_00: Eight.
- 47:04SPEAKER_00: Eight.
- 47:05SPEAKER_00: Like, is in like the Eight people.
- 47:07SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 47:07SPEAKER_01: So Battle of the Eight, I assume, is like the beginning of the final.
- 47:13SPEAKER_01: Like, we get the playoff bracket, whatever you want to call it.
- 47:16SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 47:16SPEAKER_01: And I I think part like the main prediction for that one is is the R bracket correct that we came up with.
- 47:23SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 47:23SPEAKER_01: Um and then obviously we know at least one of them's crit, or presumably one of them is crit, because Tien is fighting Tao.
- 47:30SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 47:31SPEAKER_01: And Tien beats Tao and gets the revenge and like finally overcomes the final the last bit of his dark side.
- 47:39SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 47:40SPEAKER_01: By mercifully letting Tal live.
- 47:44SPEAKER_01: S cyborg Tao live, I'm gonna I'm gonna say that.
- 47:46SPEAKER_00: Yeah, okay.
- 47:47SPEAKER_00: So you think he wins but lets tau win?
- 47:50SPEAKER_01: Let us tell live.
- 47:51SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 47:52SPEAKER_01: Not win.
- 47:52SPEAKER_00: Not sorry, yeah.
- 47:54SPEAKER_00: Tien wins, but let's tau win.
- 47:57SPEAKER_00: Or but let's tau live, sorry.
- 47:59SPEAKER_01: You really just want to say win twice.
- 48:01SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I just want to say it twice for some reason.
- 48:03SPEAKER_01: But yeah, that's the main things we're gonna go in there.
- 48:06SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 48:06SPEAKER_01: I guess that is if the fight finishes that episode.
- 48:09SPEAKER_01: We know how that is, but we're at the round here with pacing.
- 48:11SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 48:14SPEAKER_01: That's what I'm guessing right there.
- 48:16SPEAKER_00: Um, and Jesse, uh with that, what was your worst part of these episodes?
- 48:21SPEAKER_01: Um, Roshi, keep it like in your pants.
- 48:24SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 48:25SPEAKER_01: Like, come on, man.
- 48:27SPEAKER_01: It's certainly like the the Bullman one where I'm like, Roshi, come on.
- 48:33SPEAKER_00: It's been literally one minute, man.
- 48:36SPEAKER_00: Like, we've barely even been here.
- 48:38SPEAKER_00: She just got out of the car.
- 48:40SPEAKER_00: What are you doing, bro?
- 48:42SPEAKER_00: Already harassing her.
- 48:43SPEAKER_00: That one is bad.
- 48:44SPEAKER_00: The secondary one of the random passerby in the crowd.
- 48:48SPEAKER_00: What you don't need to do that, Roshi.
- 48:51SPEAKER_01: Well, to be fair, yeah, but initially it's not like if he just apologized like a normal person.
- 48:59SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but it's it's a nothing burger.
- 49:01SPEAKER_01: It's it's the actually keep pushing is where he gets wrong.
- 49:04SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that is the thing.
- 49:05SPEAKER_01: But he does get his just asserts every time he does it.
- 49:07SPEAKER_00: Which is the only saving grace is that every time he is a perv, he gets he gets a serve back.
- 49:13SPEAKER_00: Uh, but Jesse, what's your best part of the episode?
- 49:16SPEAKER_01: Um I I think personally, I think it's just exciting to see everybody meet up.
- 49:22SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 49:22SPEAKER_01: See, like seeing Krillin finally be able to say thank you after three years of waiting, that was a really good moment.
- 49:31SPEAKER_01: I think it's hard to pick anything besides like the reunion.
- 49:35SPEAKER_01: Which is what these episodes are for.
- 49:36SPEAKER_00: You know that is my favorite part.
- 49:38SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 49:38SPEAKER_00: But for me, like favorite and best being two different things.
- 49:42SPEAKER_00: That and it is probably the best part, but just to throw out a secondary thing, because I uh you know I'm gonna pick Krillin at at basically every moment.
- 49:50SPEAKER_00: But just to be contrarian since you took Krillin, I'm gonna say the Tal reveal.
- 49:54SPEAKER_00: The Tal Reveal was insane.
- 49:56SPEAKER_00: The Tal reveal just a close second.
- 49:58SPEAKER_00: Like that that that was pro that's probably the most hype part.
- 50:02SPEAKER_01: Because before that happens, you pretty much think the bracket is just gonna be.
- 50:09SPEAKER_00: We're running chalk for this this tournament.
- 50:12SPEAKER_00: And all of a sudden there's a a 512 matchup in the 12th scene one, you know?
- 50:17SPEAKER_00: Like just jumping full bracketology here.
- 50:19SPEAKER_00: Like we gotta we get the good old-fashioned 512 upset right here, baby.
- 50:23SPEAKER_01: Like, like it's exciting that it's not just gonna be the gang, Chi Chi, Yajurobi, and then Piccolo.
- 50:30SPEAKER_00: Mysterious woman, yes.
- 50:32SPEAKER_00: Um but yeah, it's it that that that reveal that number one, Shaut Zu's out.
- 50:38SPEAKER_00: Number two, it's by Tao.
- 50:40SPEAKER_00: Number three, Tao's there to kill them.
- 50:42SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like Tao's Tao's like, I will hold back while I have to.
- 50:47SPEAKER_00: But as soon as I get one of you guys in my like in my ring with me, I am killing you.
- 50:55SPEAKER_00: Either Tien or Goku, I don't care if they kick me out of this freaking thing.
- 50:59SPEAKER_00: I am killing one of you guys.
- 51:00SPEAKER_00: I'm taking it.
- 51:01SPEAKER_01: I'm not here to win, I'm here to win.
- 51:03SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm not here to win the money.
- 51:05SPEAKER_00: I don't care about the money.
- 51:06SPEAKER_00: I'm here to kill people.
- 51:09SPEAKER_01: I am an assassin, after all.
- 51:10SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but like it it is nice to throw that like loop in there.
- 51:14SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that ring the cog.
- 51:15SPEAKER_01: The cog in the machine of like, oh, okay, so Chien's gone.
- 51:19SPEAKER_01: Or not Chien, Chia's gone.
- 51:20SPEAKER_00: We need the heel.
- 51:21SPEAKER_00: Like Piccolo, Piccolo is the threat, but uh Tao is the heel.
- 51:26SPEAKER_00: You know, he's kind of like the guard the temple guardian for the main boss type thing.
- 51:31SPEAKER_00: Um, but yeah, if you don't got anything else to add, Jesse, I guess what we need to do is tell everybody thank you for listening.
