Lunch was awesome when she yelled at god and kicked him into the hole xD
This is indeed a very serious battle, but I hope it'll be over soon.

Man, some hardcore DBZ vibes in this fight with all the explosions and shit blowing up. This is awesome.

LOL, Lunch kicked Kami-sama into the hole, that was funny!
But wow, this fight is just unbelievable. Come on Goku, you can beat him!

Launch kicking God in the hole was great, as was Bulma finally telling the Announcer off for yelling into a mic despite being right next to the only audience.
All in all a good ep, although there were some pacing issues - namely everything before the break basically being Piccolo screaming forever. Guess I better get used to it ;)

Oh my god! Son Goku has a hole in his right breast but he stands up! The fight had some twists and turns so far: Piccolo destroyed the whole island but Son Goku stand there like nothing happened. Son Goku beat the shit out of Piccolo but he survived. Right now, Piccolo has the upperhand.

What I don't understand is how that hole protected everyone from the blast?

I just want this fight to be over. Not that it's been a bad fight or anything. It's had its fun little twists and turns. I just get so impatient with drawn out shonen stuff. Goku getting blasted in the chest was one of the most savage things the show has ever done. It's definitely been interesting to see the original Dragon Ball get progressively darker. Definitely interested to see how Goku will turn this into some sort of win. If not outright victory.

This is top tier battle anime right now, easily one of the best fights in the entire franchise.

My theory is the announcer forgets what number is next all the time so he buys time until he remembers.

Speaking of the announcer he should've disqualified Tien during the last match or at least redone his match with Goku when it came out that Chiaotzu was helping him. He's really incompetent.

It's funny that Goku's really close to death just to win this tournament.

Damn! I thought that was it for Piccolo. Guess it's gonna be over in the next episode.

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

Ouch, just plain ouch. That hole sure hurts. Goku has insane durability. He survived an island level nuke, with his pants intact, might I add, and a hole straight through his shoulders? Or is it his left lung? Either way, he keeps standing his ground. That's a new level of badassery.

Only Blonde Lunch would kick God into a hole to save him, well done. And that adorable announcer sure takes his time to start the countdown.

What a massive explosion that was. The entire arena has been practically ruined. Even then, Goku withstood it and managed to unleash another kamehameha on Piccolo. That hole must hurt so much. Goku is able to withstand so much pain - it's a miracle he is even able to stand up.

6 Eps to go


This was a great fight. Junior thought he can defeat Goku with that blow. Bad thing almost the whole island was destroyed. I hope people left the island as soon as they knew about Piccolo. Goku has become really tough now. Taking that blast directly was really dangerous. Junior surely thinking then who is the real monster. He was trembling with fear. However he tricked Goku and hit him bad; really bad. I don't think still Junior has a chance. It seems Goku is more powerful than him now.

Haha the scene worth to be seen!! Launch just kicked Kami!! She is really dangerous. She better have taken part in the tournament.

Yeah I was also thinking that. Goku and his pants sure has some impossible durability. Both survived. And the hole as it seems went through him by touching his lungs border line. I think there is only one way to stop Goku and that is his death.

So Piccolo basically used up his ki to form an explosion comparable to that of a nuclear bomb, wow! And more amazing is that Goku somehow withstood it! After that, and Goku's onslaught, I thought it was over but that beam that tore through Goku was a hell of a twist. Goku said the beam did not hit any vital organs and I take it that the open wound was cauterized. Still, that must have hurt like hell and it may limit his right arm's mobility but Goku will find a way to win as I think he still has more energy than Piccolo remaining at this point.

Peak episode man I loved every second of it. Seeing Goku covered in his own blood felt so wrong especially after he beat down Piccolo so savagely. Considering that next episode is the final canon one, I'm interested to see how it wraps up.
