Transcript
- 0:00SPEAKER_03: Welcome to Becoming Saiyans, a Dragon Ball Rewatch podcast.
- 0:06SPEAKER_00: And we're back.
- 0:07SPEAKER_00: I'm Truman.
- 0:08SPEAKER_00: And I'm Jesse.
- 0:09SPEAKER_00: And this is Becoming Saiyans a Dragon Ball Rewatch Podcast.
- 0:12SPEAKER_00: On today's episode, we watched 129 and 130 of Dragon Ball episodes, that is.
- 0:19SPEAKER_00: Um, titled The Time Room and Goku's Doll.
- 0:23SPEAKER_00: Uh the Time Room aired in Japan originally October 12th, 1988, and in America originally October 16th, 2003.
- 0:31SPEAKER_00: We're getting close on the time.
- 0:34SPEAKER_00: And it was October 19th in Japan for the Goku's Doll, and October 20th, 2003, for Goku's Doll America time.
- 0:46SPEAKER_00: So literally like a day apart, but like, you know, what is it, 15 years apart?
- 0:51SPEAKER_00: A day and 15 years apart.
- 0:53SPEAKER_00: Differences from the manga and trivia.
- 0:55SPEAKER_00: Uh, first things first, guess what the differences from the manga is for these both of these episodes, Jesse?
- 1:00SPEAKER_00: They're unique to the anime.
- 1:02SPEAKER_00: Completely exclusive.
- 1:03SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 1:04SPEAKER_00: Alright.
- 1:05SPEAKER_00: And then looking at trivia, um, here we go.
- 1:08SPEAKER_00: We got a lot of trivia, at least for the first episode.
- 1:10SPEAKER_00: First episode's packed with trivia.
- 1:12SPEAKER_00: Which makes sense.
- 1:13SPEAKER_00: The first episode is a flashback episode, or like a time travel episode where we go and meet new people.
- 1:18SPEAKER_00: The other one is kind of just a bottle episode.
- 1:20SPEAKER_00: Um, so that makes sense.
- 1:22SPEAKER_00: Because the first one is it's implied that Master Roshi did not become perverted until well into his older years, as it would have made it impossible for him to have ridden the flying nimbus that Korrin gave him as a teenager.
- 1:33SPEAKER_00: This is certainly contradicted by this episode, because he is trying to peep on fanfan.
- 1:37SPEAKER_00: Uh, it is possible that they weren't so severe until he g you know aged further, but also it's implied that it that r by Roshi that Master Shin did go did not go down the path of evil until after he witnessed his Mutaito's defeat.
- 1:50SPEAKER_00: Except for in this episode, he already seems like he's kind of a bad guy, you know.
- 1:55SPEAKER_00: It's possible that he was always a little evil, but you know, watching Piccolo do that really just pushed him off the edge.
- 2:01SPEAKER_00: Um it's kind of the the theory they throw out.
- 2:04SPEAKER_00: But it's like it i these are that is a big plot hole, is that he's he was able to ride the cloud until he wasn't.
- 2:11SPEAKER_00: Well, I which means he would have had to have been, you know, Goku-es.
- 2:15SPEAKER_03: I I guess the way I interpret it is it's just he has a really big crush on fanfan.
- 2:22SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 2:22SPEAKER_03: And then he just develops more perverted habits later on like a wider variety of all women or whatever.
- 2:30SPEAKER_03: And I guess like that, I guess that's the way you can look at it.
- 2:33SPEAKER_03: It's like he's still wholesome outside of just really wanting to date this one person.
- 2:38SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 2:38SPEAKER_03: Just like you, like like any teenager that has a crush, like you're awkward about it.
- 2:43SPEAKER_03: And you do you do dumb things because you're crushed and in love.
- 2:47SPEAKER_00: I guess.
- 2:48SPEAKER_00: Um, the other part about Shin maybe like having a bit of a being like a rebel or kind of a bad boy.
- 2:53SPEAKER_00: Shin's just a bad boy.
- 2:54SPEAKER_00: But he's not like a bad guy.
- 2:56SPEAKER_00: You're a bad guy, but you are not bad guy.
- 2:59SPEAKER_03: Um, like that's that one that one is a little bit less defendable considering like he could like trap them in a ring, a circle of fire, or whatever.
- 3:10SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 3:10SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he definitely went a little too far in this episode um for being still reasonably a decent guy.
- 3:18SPEAKER_03: But the Roshi one, I think you can explain, like, it feels more like he just has a really extreme crush on this girl.
- 3:24SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 3:24SPEAKER_03: And crushes make teenage guys do weird things.
- 3:27SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 3:28SPEAKER_03: Um like we were both teenagers, we know what we did with crushes.
- 3:31SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 3:32SPEAKER_00: Um, in the Jap in the Japanese version of this episode, young Roshi asks Goku if he saw a fan fans breasts and asked what her nipples look like, which is pretty pretty pretty explicit.
- 3:45SPEAKER_03: Pretty obviously not in the English dub.
- 3:48SPEAKER_00: I'm very much glad that that didn't happen.
- 3:50SPEAKER_00: Um in that Goku like says about watching himself swim and then tries to take his shirt off, you know.
- 3:55SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 3:56SPEAKER_00: Um, in the Japanese version, Fan Fan recognizes Shin and then tells him that he's not her type.
- 4:02SPEAKER_00: In the English version, he pro or she per uh appears to not know who he is until he mentions um the letter that he sent her.
- 4:10SPEAKER_00: Then she tells him she he can't that she can't keep her his mother's bracelet.
- 4:15SPEAKER_00: Um in the Japanese version, after uh Fanfan is rescued, Roshi says that he'll train seriously to surpass Goku.
- 4:22SPEAKER_00: And Fanfan says that he'll support him in this.
- 4:24SPEAKER_00: In the dub, Roshi tries to take credit for the fire splitting technique, and Fanfan mentions that she was not unconscious the whole time.
- 4:31SPEAKER_00: In the original Japanese version, when Goku hits Shin, the latter states, How dare you, not even my own dad hit me.
- 4:38SPEAKER_00: Um, which is most likely a reference to the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam, in which the character Amuro Rei states a similar line when slapped by Bright Noah.
- 4:48SPEAKER_00: Uh Shin's Japanese performer uh provided the narration and also uh voiced another character in the other other ser the you know the Gundam series.
- 4:59SPEAKER_00: Mutaito defeats uh Goku when he will fail to defeat Pikolo years later.
- 5:04SPEAKER_00: Though it's worth noting that later in a different episode, um that uh person will say that some of these things aren't as they are in other times, you know.
- 5:15SPEAKER_00: Um Master Shin's cronies uh resemble the Orin Temple bullies.
- 5:21SPEAKER_00: They've just been around forever.
- 5:23SPEAKER_00: They're each.
- 5:24SPEAKER_03: We need we need two guys from a dojo that kind of suck and bully people.
- 5:28SPEAKER_00: Let's bring back the Orin goons.
- 5:30SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 5:30SPEAKER_00: Bring back old reliable bald A and Bald B.
- 5:34SPEAKER_00: They're also the uh the second characters that uh that reuse designs during a filler because they're also used when they're the drunkards in one of the other episodes.
- 5:43SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 5:44SPEAKER_00: Um fanfan also looks a little bit like Colonel Violet um by her appearance um and kindness to monkeys.
- 5:52SPEAKER_00: Maybe she's fanfan's uh uh Violet is fanfan's descendant.
- 5:57SPEAKER_00: Also, her name is very similar to Ronfon's.
- 6:00SPEAKER_00: She's the first killer or fur the first filler character who refuses or who reuses the design of a member of Red Ribbon Army in an episode coming up later in Dragon Ball Z, some of the people that you'll see will also look like Red Ribbon Army members.
- 6:18SPEAKER_00: One of Mutayita's disciples who accompanies Master Shin is applying to be a young mercenary Tao, uh, evidenced in the Japanese version when he calls Shin Big Brother.
- 6:27SPEAKER_00: Although those are not uh does not explicitly imply blood relation, because that could also be like leadership in Japanese.
- 6:35SPEAKER_00: Um Tao's possible appearance also uh contradicts the day uh days in Shustain he was born age 459, two years before the beginning of the first King Piccolo War, when both Shin and Roshi were around 30.
- 6:49SPEAKER_00: But in this episode, when Roshi and Shin are about eighteen, he's a similar age.
- 6:53SPEAKER_00: You know, just basically the timeline doesn't make sense for Tao to be there, but also it's only in the Japanese version where that's even brought up where it could even be a problem.
- 7:02SPEAKER_00: So we're gonna move to the next episode, and we only have four trivias left.
- 7:07SPEAKER_00: Uh the symbol on the doll's gi is uh the kanji or kami, which means um god.
- 7:15SPEAKER_00: Uh the colors of the of the gi is more in line with the turtle hermit gi is colored in the manga.
- 7:22SPEAKER_00: In the blue water dub, this title is as uh this episode is titled Goku vs.
- 7:27SPEAKER_00: Goku.
- 7:28SPEAKER_00: And in the Japanese version, as the driver is staring at Tien and the others, the song, uh, the teachings of Mutan Roshi can be heard on the radio, but the English dub does not include it.
- 7:40SPEAKER_00: And that's all the trivia and differences, which there was only one big one.
- 7:45SPEAKER_00: So Jesse, previously on Dragon Ball, Goku is boring Mr.
- 7:51SPEAKER_00: Popo.
- 7:51SPEAKER_00: So Mr.
- 7:52SPEAKER_00: Popo sends his butt through time, says, get out, we don't want you here.
- 7:56SPEAKER_00: And he ends up back in time and runs into young Master Roshi, Master Shin, Mu Taito, who is still alive, and Fan Fan.
- 8:04SPEAKER_00: And he kind of walks into like a love triangle of sorts, yeah, but he doesn't really care about that because he's just there to fight Mu Taito, who kicks his butt but teaches him how to use like energy bending.
- 8:13SPEAKER_00: Uh or energy spiriting.
- 8:15SPEAKER_00: Spirit energy power, yada yada, hand waving, not science.
- 8:21SPEAKER_00: Spirit energy.
- 8:22SPEAKER_00: He's able to like and like be by the end of the episode, he does it one time where he's able to focus his energy into a wave that escapes a fire pit that Master Shen caused and the shenanigans that came with the left triangle.
- 8:34SPEAKER_00: Muami and all and also Tina and all of them are there, are in their side story training and trying to get strong.
- 8:41SPEAKER_00: And then we find out in the second episode that they are heading towards the Coron Tower.
- 8:47SPEAKER_00: And that's what you missed in the B plot.
- 8:49SPEAKER_00: So going on to the second episode, we have Goku fighting against Mr.
- 8:52SPEAKER_00: or, you know, trying to do some of his mental training, and it's like, I'm bored, I want to fight somebody.
- 8:57SPEAKER_00: So Mr.
- 8:57SPEAKER_00: Popo creates a doll that has all the powers and strength of Goku, except for that it's mastered the stay calm and focus.
- 9:06SPEAKER_03: Master his mental training because it doesn't really have emotions.
- 9:10SPEAKER_03: Emotions or thoughts.
- 9:11SPEAKER_00: And then Goku takes a while, but eventually he starts to figure it out a bit, and right as he does, the training is over.
- 9:19SPEAKER_00: And that's what you missed on Dragon Ball.
- 9:20SPEAKER_00: Jesse, go for it.
- 9:22SPEAKER_03: Yeah, these are filler episodes.
- 9:23SPEAKER_03: Yeah, they are bridge episodes.
- 9:25SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that's uh Truman's described him.
- 9:28SPEAKER_03: It's like these are episodes that get us where we're going, and that's probably the best you can say for him.
- 9:34SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it explains that Goku is going to know, it shows more of what he's trying to learn.
- 9:40SPEAKER_00: Um there's not a whole, especially the second episode, there really isn't anything in the second episode.
- 9:46SPEAKER_03: The second episode basically is they are still running to the corn tower.
- 9:50SPEAKER_03: And Goku is fighting.
- 9:52SPEAKER_00: We didn't know that they were running to the corn tower until the second episode.
- 9:55SPEAKER_00: We just knew they were running and training.
- 9:56SPEAKER_03: It's like, but like they are they are trying to get there.
- 9:59SPEAKER_00: And Goku is fighting Shadow Goku.
- 10:02SPEAKER_00: And that is the that is a full bottle episode.
- 10:05SPEAKER_00: That that is it.
- 10:06SPEAKER_00: I mean, I guess it's not a bottle episode because like the B plot is them running across the world.
- 10:11SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 10:12SPEAKER_00: That's like the complete opposite of a but no so little happens as they're running across the world that it doesn't matter.
- 10:18SPEAKER_00: And so the A-plot is complete bottle episode.
- 10:21SPEAKER_00: We're on this one location, which is the outside of the of Kami's palace, and that is where we are stuck at, you know.
- 10:29SPEAKER_00: We're just there.
- 10:31SPEAKER_03: The only time in the A-plot that we are not outside the k the palace is when Popo steals the hair from Goku and then goes into a workshop and makes the doll.
- 10:41SPEAKER_03: Which lasts all of like maybe 15 to 20 seconds.
- 10:45SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 10:46SPEAKER_00: And that is like that is it.
- 10:48SPEAKER_00: And we don't even really see him, he's just kinda there.
- 10:51SPEAKER_00: Like you just kinda like we we kinda see it happen, but like Goku isn't there.
- 10:56SPEAKER_00: And it's just part of like, oh well, they're still on Kami's like outlook, so it's still all but it still counts.
- 11:03SPEAKER_00: Um, I don't really have much to say about the second episode, it was fine.
- 11:06SPEAKER_00: Goku is finally maybe starting to figure it out a little bit and able to like use it.
- 11:12SPEAKER_00: Because like there's one thing to like learn what to like to do the mental training.
- 11:17SPEAKER_00: There's another thing to like put be able to practice it in battle.
- 11:21SPEAKER_00: And it seems like Fighting himself finally like unlocked it for him somehow.
- 11:26SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 11:26SPEAKER_00: Where he's finally able to like take that and morph it into what he can do.
- 11:33SPEAKER_00: And so, like, that is like the main thing of the second episode.
- 11:37SPEAKER_00: Otherwise, we can just go back to the first episode and talk.
- 11:40SPEAKER_03: The second the second episode, I know we like to go like an episodic order of what we're talking about.
- 11:45SPEAKER_03: The second episode is so easy to describe, it's like, let's just get that out of the way.
- 11:48SPEAKER_00: And so we can go and like dig into what meat is on the bone here.
- 11:53SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 11:54SPEAKER_03: Which is ten of them being frustrated.
- 11:57SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 11:57SPEAKER_03: And like, oh, I'm never gonna catch up to Goku.
- 12:00SPEAKER_03: Wait, Goku went to Korrin Tower.
- 12:02SPEAKER_03: Maybe I should go to Koran Tower.
- 12:04SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 12:05SPEAKER_03: And then they start running to Koran Tower, the second episode.
- 12:07SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 12:08SPEAKER_00: And so that that is pretty much it.
- 12:10SPEAKER_00: I also want to point out the f these two episodes also had incredibly short intros.
- 12:16SPEAKER_00: Like, which normally means we're in for a good episode with a lot of stuff.
- 12:21SPEAKER_00: But in this point, it just means sure had a lot of stuff.
- 12:24SPEAKER_00: It had a lot of stuff, but it was a lot of nothing.
- 12:29SPEAKER_03: Nothing.
- 12:30SPEAKER_03: A lot of like filler exposition.
- 12:33SPEAKER_00: But I did like the first episode.
- 12:35SPEAKER_00: Uh the second episode is whatever.
- 12:38SPEAKER_00: I'm completely neutral on it.
- 12:39SPEAKER_00: I have no feelings whatsoever for it.
- 12:41SPEAKER_00: Which I guess probably means it's a bad episode.
- 12:44SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 12:44SPEAKER_00: Because I just don't have anything to say.
- 12:46SPEAKER_00: But it's like it's like the total just like whatever.
- 12:50SPEAKER_00: You know?
- 12:51SPEAKER_03: Like, I'll I'll get I'll give you a peek behind the curtain.
- 12:53SPEAKER_03: For most of the second episode, Truman was like half mega digit.
- 12:58SPEAKER_03: I could see him like on his phone, probably pulling stuff up for the for the R episode and stuff like that.
- 13:02SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 13:03SPEAKER_03: Like accused is like, I can I can you know make sure I know where I'm going for some of these factoids and stuff.
- 13:08SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 13:09SPEAKER_00: It was it's the second episode.
- 13:11SPEAKER_00: Uh I don't like again, there's there's levels to being bad.
- 13:15SPEAKER_00: There's episodes that are bad, and there are episodes that are completely passable.
- 13:19SPEAKER_00: That are kind of just boring.
- 13:21SPEAKER_00: But you can completely skip the second episode here.
- 13:23SPEAKER_00: It does nothing in a duh as far as I can remember, they never go back to this again.
- 13:28SPEAKER_00: Like the next episode, he's doing another training.
- 13:30SPEAKER_00: He's not like fighting the doll again.
- 13:33SPEAKER_00: Like that that was one episode and it's over.
- 13:35SPEAKER_00: But like that that's that's an okay episode.
- 13:39SPEAKER_00: It's it's a bad episode, but it's not a bad episode, if that makes sense.
- 13:43SPEAKER_03: Boring in the most like nondescript, just plain way.
- 13:52SPEAKER_03: Like it's not boring as in like, man, this episode sucks.
- 13:56SPEAKER_03: It's boring as in that could have been an email.
- 13:59SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 13:59SPEAKER_03: It's like it's like it's like one of those company meetings where it's like you could have just emailed everybody like, hey, remember to like clean up after yourself when you go to the bathroom, instead of having a 30-minute meeting about cleaning up after yourself going to the bathroom.
- 14:13SPEAKER_03: Like that type of stuff.
- 14:14SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's again, it's a total skip.
- 14:17SPEAKER_00: But we're still not talking about it being a bad episode.
- 14:21SPEAKER_03: It's like it is a solid, you give this like a five and a half, like right down the middle.
- 14:27SPEAKER_00: It's a solid three, but it's like not because so little happens.
- 14:31SPEAKER_00: Like it can't go anywhere.
- 14:33SPEAKER_00: If you start at a five, it's like it just drops a little bit for how like nothing it was, you know.
- 14:39SPEAKER_00: But like it's no bullmas bad day, is what I'm trying to say.
- 14:42SPEAKER_00: There are episodes of this show that are actively bad.
- 14:44SPEAKER_00: This is just passively nothing, so therefore it drops in the the rankings.
- 14:49SPEAKER_00: But the first episode is quite a fun one.
- 14:52SPEAKER_00: Um, Mr.
- 14:53SPEAKER_00: Popo literally it just seems like Mr.
- 14:55SPEAKER_00: Popo's tired of fighting Goku.
- 14:57SPEAKER_00: Goku's like, let's fight.
- 14:58SPEAKER_00: And he's like, oh my gosh, okay, let me just kick your butt real quick.
- 15:02SPEAKER_00: Oh my gosh, you want to fight again?
- 15:04SPEAKER_00: Like, fine.
- 15:05SPEAKER_00: And then he's like, wait a minute.
- 15:07SPEAKER_00: I'm just gonna throw your throw your butt through space and time.
- 15:11SPEAKER_00: You we're not dealing with this no more, Goku.
- 15:14SPEAKER_00: You'll fight somebody else.
- 15:15SPEAKER_00: I'm tired of it.
- 15:16SPEAKER_00: Goku, I'm tired.
- 15:18SPEAKER_00: I want to tend to my f my plants and you know, feed my birds.
- 15:22SPEAKER_00: I don't want to fight.
- 15:23SPEAKER_00: I don't want to fight you, man.
- 15:24SPEAKER_00: Yeah, fight me! No, no, enough! That is the thrill.
- 15:29SPEAKER_00: There's a through line from Mr.
- 15:30SPEAKER_00: Popo through both these episodes, is that he is just really does not want to fight.
- 15:34SPEAKER_03: He's like, I think part of it is he's like tired of beating Goku too much.
- 15:39SPEAKER_03: Because Goku's just not ready for Mr.
- 15:42SPEAKER_03: Popo, like to give Mr.
- 15:44SPEAKER_03: Popo much of a challenge.
- 15:45SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 15:45SPEAKER_03: It's really just I'm tired of kicking your butt in like 10 minutes, and then like 15 minutes later, you want to fight again because you think you've learned something more to beat me.
- 15:56SPEAKER_00: In the last 15 minutes, as you've been sitting over there grunting and growling about meditating and stuff.
- 16:02SPEAKER_03: So he's like, you know what?
- 16:04SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna send you, I'm gonna send you someplace, and you're gonna be okay with it.
- 16:08SPEAKER_00: And we also know uh he's probably also at least subconsciously thinking, like, if I sit into Master Roshi, maybe Master Roshi can get through to his stupid school, because we know that he's done it before.
- 16:19SPEAKER_00: Maybe we just need to send him back to another teacher and like maybe like Mr.
- 16:23SPEAKER_00: Mutaito could do something or whatever.
- 16:25SPEAKER_00: Mutaito can like set the groundwork and Roshi can push him through the door, you know?
- 16:30SPEAKER_00: Like, and so he gets sent to the past and he immediately lands on Roshi Perv Moment Past Edition, which is what I wrote down because I thought it was funny.
- 16:39SPEAKER_00: He's like, we can't get away from Roshi having a perv moment.
- 16:42SPEAKER_00: He's gonna it doesn't matter, baby Roshi's gonna find a way to have a perv moment.
- 16:46SPEAKER_00: Like we can go back into the time where Roshi is an infant, and he's still gonna be out there like gagaying over the boobies or something.
- 16:52SPEAKER_00: Like, I don't know what's gonna happen.
- 16:54SPEAKER_00: Oh gaga, I want something.
- 16:57SPEAKER_00: Oh my gosh, Jesse.
- 16:59SPEAKER_00: Oh my gosh, Jesse.
- 17:01SPEAKER_00: Oh my god.
- 17:03SPEAKER_00: I set you up for that.
- 17:05SPEAKER_00: I set you up for that, and I'm still not ready for that.
- 17:08SPEAKER_00: I wasn't ready for that to come under your mouth.
- 17:11SPEAKER_03: You can't feel that's a little bit trick for some of our audience, I bet.
- 17:15SPEAKER_00: No, I know, but it's just Jesse.
- 17:17SPEAKER_00: I know I like threw the lob and then it's like I saw you going up and dunk it, and there was just like a like a kid in a wheelchair rolling out on the post.
- 17:28SPEAKER_03: We're gonna make a window.
- 17:30SPEAKER_03: Does he know?
- 17:31SPEAKER_03: Oh my gosh, get out of the way, Timmy.
- 17:34SPEAKER_00: Oh god, it was it was that was bad.
- 17:37SPEAKER_00: I gotta reset.
- 17:38SPEAKER_00: Anyways, yes, there's a Roshi Perv moment, and then this young Roshi.
- 17:43SPEAKER_00: But basically, it's not like it is bad, but it's like whatever, you know.
- 17:47SPEAKER_00: They're both of age, it's a small like school kid crush, even though he's 18.
- 17:51SPEAKER_00: Um, but Goku's there now, and he's like, ow, wait, you you look familiar.
- 17:56SPEAKER_00: Do I know you from somewhere?
- 17:58SPEAKER_01: And Roshi immediately is like, yeah, I bet you do.
- 18:01SPEAKER_01: I'm like so big.
- 18:02SPEAKER_00: People say I'm the biggest, the largest.
- 18:05SPEAKER_01: I'm a super famous guy.
- 18:07SPEAKER_01: You probably know me from being famous.
- 18:09SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 18:09SPEAKER_01: I'm the best disciple that Mutaito has.
- 18:14SPEAKER_00: And he's like, I've never heard of Mutaito.
- 18:15SPEAKER_00: And he's like, but what?
- 18:17SPEAKER_00: You've never heard of Mutaito?
- 18:19SPEAKER_00: He's like the strongest guy in the world.
- 18:21SPEAKER_00: And he's like, Oh, strongest guy in the world, you say.
- 18:24SPEAKER_00: Let take me to him.
- 18:25SPEAKER_00: I must fight him.
- 18:26SPEAKER_00: Yeah, let me solo him.
- 18:28SPEAKER_00: And he's like, okay, whatever, man.
- 18:30SPEAKER_00: And then Crane walks up and he's like, Oh, you're trying to get my my uh fan fan, huh?
- 18:36SPEAKER_00: And then he let's fight.
- 18:37SPEAKER_00: And Roshi's like, Alright, we'll fight.
- 18:39SPEAKER_00: And then Crane does the Chiatsu like my and whammy thing that like makes you sick and not able to fight.
- 18:46SPEAKER_00: And then he's like, yawn and walks away.
- 18:48SPEAKER_02: He's like, You're not worth my time, you know, like like like Shin's always been like since we've known him.
- 18:54SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and then Goku is like, hmm, that guy kind of looks familiar too.
- 18:57SPEAKER_00: Alright.
- 18:58SPEAKER_00: Anyways.
- 18:59SPEAKER_03: Let's go fight him.
- 19:01SPEAKER_00: And so they go to the temple and Goku immediately fights him.
- 19:04SPEAKER_00: But Mutaito doesn't even really stand up until like the very end where he's like, I'm tired of this.
- 19:09SPEAKER_03: He's like spirit beams him away or whatever.
- 19:12SPEAKER_03: Spirit fingers, I guess.
- 19:13SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 19:13SPEAKER_00: Spirit fingers.
- 19:15SPEAKER_00: But yeah, he's literally just sitting there like yawn block, block, block, block, block, block.
- 19:20SPEAKER_00: And he's like, You're really good.
- 19:21SPEAKER_00: You're really, you're really good as he's blocking all of the You oh oh like you almost got me on that one.
- 19:26SPEAKER_00: That was really good.
- 19:27SPEAKER_00: Anyways, done.
- 19:28SPEAKER_03: It's like the most expressionlessly bored way to be like, You're actually like pretty pretty comparable.
- 19:34SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he's literally just sitting there like yawning, like, yeah, that was a good one.
- 19:38SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 19:38SPEAKER_03: It's like it's like subconsciously, he's like, Man, this would be like my best pupil if I keep this guy around.
- 19:43SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 19:43SPEAKER_00: And then he spirit like spirit shoots him into the wall.
- 19:46SPEAKER_00: And Goku's like, that's cool.
- 19:48SPEAKER_00: That you barely touched me and you sent me flying.
- 19:51SPEAKER_00: How did you do that?
- 19:52SPEAKER_00: And so Master Rita H takes him and for some reason Roshi out to the the the waterfall to do it, and they catch uh Fanfan's um like scarf, I think she says it is.
- 20:05SPEAKER_00: His scarf.
- 20:06SPEAKER_00: Um it's very important.
- 20:09SPEAKER_03: Fanfan, a lot of the women from I guess the village that they live around um are cleaning their clothes and like the river that flows into the waterfall.
- 20:18SPEAKER_03: And she loses a scarf.
- 20:19SPEAKER_03: And while Goku's trying to practice the spirit spirit wave you know uh energy thing, it flows down the river towards him and like like and the waterfall towards him, and he jumps over, grabs it, and then talks to Fanfan.
- 20:32SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 20:33SPEAKER_00: And she's like, Wow, you really helped there, thank you.
- 20:36SPEAKER_00: Oh, hi Roshi.
- 20:37SPEAKER_00: Anyways, bye.
- 20:38SPEAKER_00: And then Crane's like, Ur, Roshi, they're stealing my girl.
- 20:43SPEAKER_03: They're stealing my girl that probably hates me more than she hates Roshi.
- 20:48SPEAKER_00: Are you do something about this?
- 20:50SPEAKER_00: And so I wanna kill you.
- 20:51SPEAKER_00: And so he goes and he's like, Did you get my letter?
- 20:54SPEAKER_00: And she's like, Oh yeah, yeah, no, I got your letter.
- 20:57SPEAKER_00: Anyways, take your bracelet back.
- 20:59SPEAKER_00: I don't want it.
- 21:00SPEAKER_00: Also, my dance card is full, which for all you got all you younger folks out there, that's from Bridgerton, if you've watched that.
- 21:07SPEAKER_00: And Bridgerton, when your dance card's full, it means you can no longer take on any more suitors.
- 21:15SPEAKER_00: That was it.
- 21:18SPEAKER_00: I've never watched that.
- 21:18SPEAKER_00: And I assume Jesse knew that like when she said that that it was something along the lines of I don't have time for you.
- 21:24SPEAKER_00: Like context clues, context clues gives that away, but like it is like an old-timey like upper class society thing of being like they would mark like the box, being like, I'm dancing the third song with you, and that I'm gonna court you.
- 21:39SPEAKER_00: And so like her being like, It's full means like sorry, you sucker, you missed out on your chance.
- 21:44SPEAKER_03: You suck.
- 21:45SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 21:46SPEAKER_00: And so Crane's like, well, you know what?
- 21:48SPEAKER_00: You know what it'll be a reasonable decision to do here?
- 21:51SPEAKER_03: Kidnap you.
- 21:52SPEAKER_00: Yeah, not just like walk away and accept the fact that this woman's obviously not interested in me, but she doesn't know what she's talking about, so I'm gonna kidnap.
- 22:00SPEAKER_00: And hold her, tie her up to a tree.
- 22:02SPEAKER_00: I can't imagine.
- 22:03SPEAKER_03: I don't know why women don't like me.
- 22:05SPEAKER_03: Anyways, I'm gonna punch you in the stomach, tie you to a tree, and then try to burn the person that came to save you.
- 22:12SPEAKER_00: Pretty reasonable honestly.
- 22:14SPEAKER_03: It's like, man, I can't understand why like people hate me.
- 22:17SPEAKER_03: It's those classic insult things like I don't understand why women don't want to date me.
- 22:21SPEAKER_03: I'm such a nice guy.
- 22:22SPEAKER_03: And then you like see a picture of their bedroom, and you're like, oh, there's trash everywhere, and it's all unclean, and the bed looks crappy, and you smell bad.
- 22:30SPEAKER_03: And it's like it's like, I don't know, man.
- 22:32SPEAKER_03: It's probably like seven degrees.
- 22:35SPEAKER_03: It's time to look inward there.
- 22:36SPEAKER_03: But those type of people, they never they never blame.
- 22:39SPEAKER_00: Inward.
- 22:39SPEAKER_00: I never looked inward.
- 22:41SPEAKER_00: It's always your problem.
- 22:42SPEAKER_00: It's society's problem.
- 22:44SPEAKER_00: But anyways, he uh Roshi or he stops Roshi and Goku and are like, meet me at the top of no man's land burnt rubble pile like deadfields?
- 22:56SPEAKER_00: Deadfields, whatever.
- 22:57SPEAKER_00: It's meet me at nondescript area away from people, and maybe you can save her.
- 23:02SPEAKER_00: And so they rush off to Goku save her, and they walk right into a trap where Crane is like, uh, let me beat you up or I'll kill her.
- 23:12SPEAKER_00: So Goku's like, okay, beat me up.
- 23:14SPEAKER_00: And so Goku gets beat up, and Goku's like, that was nothing.
- 23:18SPEAKER_00: Um I've almost I've been kid I've been nearly killed twice.
- 23:23SPEAKER_00: I don't care about what you got.
- 23:24SPEAKER_03: Goku starts getting beat up, and then like he smacks him one time, and Crane is like, What the heck, man?
- 23:31SPEAKER_03: You're gonna broken my glasses.
- 23:33SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and Goku's like, well, if you didn't want to get hit, what why did you attack me?
- 23:38SPEAKER_03: Yeah and then he's like, screw you, and then takes the torch the guys are holding up to Fan Fan and throws it and he's like a crap circle.
- 23:47SPEAKER_00: I had a backup plan.
- 23:48SPEAKER_00: You guys are too dumb for me.
- 23:50SPEAKER_00: I'm on next level.
- 23:52SPEAKER_00: Uh I know that's the only way off of this hill.
- 23:55SPEAKER_00: It was completely scorched, and the fire is definitely gonna come this way and kill us.
- 23:59SPEAKER_00: But like it's gonna kill you first.
- 24:01SPEAKER_03: So obviously, I don't think ahead.
- 24:03SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 24:04SPEAKER_03: Uh I will think ahead because why would I kidnap a woman?
- 24:09SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 24:09SPEAKER_01: If I thought ahead.
- 24:11SPEAKER_00: And so um, luckily, Goku is able to stop this problem by using the energy spirit powering the spirit energy and shooting through the fire and opening a path where they can escape.
- 24:21SPEAKER_00: Uh, they're able to say fanfan, and Master Mutaito comes up and is like, you're back on bottom wrong boy.
- 24:27SPEAKER_00: You gotta take off your cool outfit and put on one of those cheesy purple ones.
- 24:30SPEAKER_00: Because one thing I want to point out about this episode is that every other student in Master Muta's dojo wears the exact same outfit except for Roshi and Shin.
- 24:43SPEAKER_00: They have their they have their original outfit, or Roshi's original outfit, and Shin's outfit that he wears forever on.
- 24:50SPEAKER_00: Signifying allegedly.
- 24:52SPEAKER_00: These are the important people that we care about.
- 24:54SPEAKER_03: Like find the main character, slash find the two like brightest pupils.
- 24:58SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 24:58SPEAKER_03: Whatever you want to call it.
- 25:00SPEAKER_00: Uh so basically Goku kind of learns a lesson, but he's not able to replicate it because that'd be too overpowered at this moment.
- 25:07SPEAKER_03: And then like has Popo and Kami both sweating, like, man, I don't I can't I just can't figure this dude out.
- 25:13SPEAKER_03: He did it perfectly.
- 25:14SPEAKER_00: He learns it and then he doesn't learn it, but like he seems to get it, but then he doesn't.
- 25:19SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 25:19SPEAKER_00: He's very confusing, this child.
- 25:22SPEAKER_00: That could just be the whole name of the show.
- 25:24SPEAKER_03: He's very confusing this child.
- 25:26SPEAKER_00: The review is.
- 25:27SPEAKER_00: Go Goku.
- 25:28SPEAKER_00: He's very confusing this child is.
- 25:31SPEAKER_00: Um, but yeah, I really don't have anything else unless you have something, Jesse.
- 25:35SPEAKER_00: Anything we missed.
- 25:36SPEAKER_03: I mean, these these episodes are very right, like hitting right on top of your head.
- 25:41SPEAKER_00: Yeah, there are some there was a fun part in the second episode we skipped over in the the B plot.
- 25:46SPEAKER_00: That the the guys, the gang, the boys are sprinting so fast that they are running about 210 to 220 kilometers per hour, which translates to you us American folks who use real numbers, to uh 130-ish miles per hour.
- 26:04SPEAKER_00: And that's just keeping up with the parts of the blaze past.
- 26:07SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so they're like at least probably quadrupling the speed on that.
- 26:11SPEAKER_00: So do you have anything else to add, Jesse?
- 26:13SPEAKER_00: Uh anything any of the parts of the notes we didn't get to?
- 26:16SPEAKER_00: No, I mean we got we covered most of the notes.
- 26:18SPEAKER_03: Again, as we established, this is a pretty Nothing Burger.
- 26:23SPEAKER_03: A pretty nothing burger group of episodes outside of like there's a lot of cool, interesting, weird, plot-pointy, plot holy yeah things going on in the first episode.
- 26:32SPEAKER_03: And the second episode is just Goku fighting like himself, the smash shadow clone version of himself.
- 26:38SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 26:39SPEAKER_00: Um, so Jesse, your predictions were um for this episode.
- 26:44SPEAKER_00: I'm pretty sure.
- 26:44SPEAKER_00: These episodes, the time room disorts time.
- 26:47SPEAKER_00: And Goku has to train with a doll to it to learn to keep his emotions slash power in check.
- 26:53SPEAKER_00: Kinda, I mean, you got the first one, right?
- 26:54SPEAKER_00: It distorts time.
- 26:55SPEAKER_00: Second one, I mean, he does kinda he does train with a doll.
- 26:58SPEAKER_00: It's not really better to keep his power in check, but to keep his emotions in check, definitely.
- 27:03SPEAKER_00: Um and so Jesse, I'm gonna go ahead and give those to you.
- 27:06SPEAKER_00: So looking forward to the next two episodes, which I should have had pulled up, but I'd close that screen, obviously.
- 27:13SPEAKER_00: Um, it is walking their own ways and hotter than lava.
- 27:20SPEAKER_00: What do you think those mean?
- 27:22SPEAKER_00: Walking their own ways?
- 27:24SPEAKER_00: Ways W-A-Y-S.
- 27:26SPEAKER_00: Yeah, W-A-Y-S.
- 27:28SPEAKER_00: Walking their own ways, like walking in different ways, but their own, you know.
- 27:38SPEAKER_03: It's gonna be more like a well at least the title is gonna be more of focused on like TN and Yamcha and all them.
- 27:46SPEAKER_03: More focusing on the other.
- 27:46SPEAKER_03: Where they get they get up to Korn Tower, and Korn has them each do a separate thing.
- 27:52SPEAKER_03: Okay, or maybe they like split Yamcha, Yamcha, Krilla, and then Tian Yuchatsu, because they never go alone.
- 28:01SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 28:01SPEAKER_03: So you like split them as two people two groups going to fit and get different things.
- 28:05SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 28:05SPEAKER_00: I like it, I like it.
- 28:06SPEAKER_03: Like different types.
- 28:08SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 28:08SPEAKER_03: Um, what about hotter than lava, Jesse?
- 28:12SPEAKER_03: Goku fights something that uses like heat powers that are hotter than lava, I guess.
- 28:22SPEAKER_03: Yeah, heat monster, maybe.
- 28:24SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 28:24SPEAKER_00: I'll take it.
- 28:25SPEAKER_00: Um, and so Jesse, with that out of the way, what is your worst part of the episode?
- 28:31SPEAKER_00: Sorry.
- 28:31SPEAKER_03: Uh um I guess it's just kind of how boring the second episode is.
- 28:41SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 28:42SPEAKER_03: If it's not that, I would say the bigger of the two like plot holes that's like hard to explain, which is I thought Shin didn't go fully evil.
- 28:52SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 28:53SPEAKER_00: Until it would be cooler if this was like a like a touchstone moment for him.
- 28:58SPEAKER_00: You know, like interacting with Goku and Roshi together is like, I don't like this.
- 29:04SPEAKER_00: And then he starts to be a little more evil.
- 29:06SPEAKER_00: What if he was like a nice guy, like um Monsters University with Randall, where Randall is like the nicest guy ever, and then he like becomes a bad guy.
- 29:15SPEAKER_00: And then he enjoys like whatever they're that would be great, but it does that doesn't happen.
- 29:22SPEAKER_00: Um, I also am gonna go with the second episode just being completely a like a waste, wasteful episode.
- 29:27SPEAKER_03: Like it's not a total waste as we established.
- 29:30SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but it is 97% waste.
- 29:32SPEAKER_03: You could have you could have had Goku fight that doll for like five minutes.
- 29:36SPEAKER_00: I understand like you could have started an episode with him fighting it all, and then okay, well, you you pass like you are are learning, but you still gotta learn a little more, and then we do something fun, you know?
- 29:46SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 29:47SPEAKER_00: Like start with the with it, you know.
- 29:50SPEAKER_03: Especially for just coming up with an episode that's not even in the like manga.
- 29:55SPEAKER_00: You could have done like and we already know that they can travel through space and time to anywhere on the earth at any point in time to face whoever they need to.
- 30:04SPEAKER_00: And instead we have him stuck on the platform fighting himself.
- 30:08SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 30:08SPEAKER_00: It's like, oh my goodness.
- 30:11SPEAKER_00: So interesting.
- 30:12SPEAKER_00: You're so tired of dealing with him, Mr.
- 30:14SPEAKER_00: Popo, that you decided to make a second one.
- 30:17SPEAKER_00: Like, what are we doing?
- 30:18SPEAKER_03: But this one can't talk.
- 30:19SPEAKER_00: And also has his eyes.
- 30:21SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 30:21SPEAKER_00: His dead, dead eyes.
- 30:23SPEAKER_03: It's like, it's like so you decided to make Deadpool from like Words and Dolverine.
- 30:29SPEAKER_03: Where he's like, I showed his mouth set, so he can't talk anymore.
- 30:33SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 30:35SPEAKER_00: But he's also like a super deadly fighter.
- 30:38SPEAKER_00: And so, I mean, with that, like I mean, that is just kind of what we had for these episodes.
- 30:43SPEAKER_00: Um, thank you guys for listening.
- 30:45SPEAKER_00: Um, we didn't go best part.
- 30:47SPEAKER_00: Oh, we did not go best part.
- 30:49SPEAKER_00: You are right.
- 30:49SPEAKER_00: I almost jumped past it.
- 30:50SPEAKER_03: Best part just a whole lot here to compliment.
- 30:53SPEAKER_00: What's your best part?
- 30:54SPEAKER_00: I like seeing like young Roshi's crush moment.
- 30:58SPEAKER_00: I for me it's Master Mutaito.
- 31:00SPEAKER_00: Mutaito's also great.
- 31:01SPEAKER_00: Um honorable mention to Master Young Roshi's uh voice actor.
- 31:05SPEAKER_00: I don't know if it's the same actor, we didn't look that up.
- 31:07SPEAKER_00: Did a good job.
- 31:08SPEAKER_00: Um, but he did a really good job of capturing Master Roshi's like way of speaking and like and his his voice, but like younging it, you know.
- 31:16SPEAKER_00: I don't know how to explain it.
- 31:18SPEAKER_00: You if you watch the episode, you know.
- 31:20SPEAKER_00: They like were able to DA, like it sounds like what Master Roshi in my brain would sound like if he was younger.
- 31:26SPEAKER_00: Like in his like you know, late teens, early twenties, you know.
- 31:29SPEAKER_00: Like it sounds spot on.
- 31:31SPEAKER_03: It even gets like points parts of his like the creaky coming in, but I guess I guess the other plot form you didn't want to talk about is like I do love how they like foreshadowed Roshi, like young Roshi being just like a cringy teenager.
- 31:48SPEAKER_02: Yeah, because Rosie's like, I used to be a young stud when I was younger.
- 31:53SPEAKER_03: I can't imagine you being younger, Roshi, and then Goku travels back to the show.
- 31:56SPEAKER_00: And he's like, Pointexter.
- 31:59SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 31:59SPEAKER_00: Um, but yeah.
- 32:00SPEAKER_00: Uh if you don't want anything else, Jesse, for your uh, we're gonna go ahead and jump in to thank you guys for listening to us here.
