No, In that two parter Krillin said he wasn't going to become a martial artist again, he was just going to train for his daughter.
I think I repeated this 3x already but the part when Goku and Krillin were flying back to kame house after clearing Baba's quest, Krillin said "Ore mata budokan yaruyo" which literally translates to "I'll do martial arts again"

This is what I'm waiting for. The ultimate mind F would be if we find out base Gohan, Goku, and Krillin are all comparable to each other. I.e. if its another "no SSJ at the tournament, the rest of us mind stand a chance" comment.

Well will have to see next week the preview make it seem like gohan won't completely hold back in his fight against him but we have to see better not jump the gun just yet.

Gohan fights Krillin? Who wants to bet Krillin stomps him? :D
Oh I fear that, this match could end as obvious as we think or just can be reason enough to lock the Official Unofficial "Dragon Ball Super" Power Level Discussion Thread :lol:

Wait for the episode first, they sure could mention the events that happened before and God Ki Weeds? Did you watched a speed sub? :|

Dont be surprised if he becomes the new buttmonkey of the Z-fighters.
Nerfed how? No one could defeat Tagoma and Shisami in Super is probably way stronger than a Zarbon-tier mook and Piccolo lame performance against a weakened Frost, shows he had improved a bit after that.

Yikes that new song is terrible. Ugh! Just when we had a pretty alright one we go back to another bad one.

Anyway, it was filler.
What the? he literally says it on the way back to the kame house.... what have you been watching? I repeat, he literally says "Ore mata budokan yaruyo" that literally translates to "I'll do martial arts again".
I am being very literal here if you're not noticing.
Wait you are right. He said he was going to be a martial artist again for his kid. My bed.


Yeah, but like I said it isn't part of these arcs so, its filler.
That isn't how this works in Super. 'Filler' is part of the story, especially when the person who wrote most of the main story of the Future Trunks Saga and everything in the Universal Survival Saga wrote those two episodes you dismissed as filler.

Or is the summary itself mistaken?

I can't think of a good reason to back pedal on Krillin's development when they very recently dedicated two episodes to it.
This case is similar to Gohan in ROF,U6 and ft,they back pedal Gohan, this is really a toei thing, despite this, I'm excited to see This, Gohan and krillin will interact like the good ol days
They didn't back peddled on Gohan. Gohan said he wanted to get in shape again to protect his family, which is exactly what he has been doing. He went from barely able to hold Super Saiyan, to being able to transform without any issues and even used his power in a clever way. What happened in Resurrection 'F' has nothing to do with Gohan being a fighter again, just wanting to get back in shape after slacking.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

Love what they're doing with Gohan. It seems in-universe he is trying to fight at any chance he gets to shake that rust off, which is awesome. Piccolo vs Gohan rematch incoming? :D

Too bad it appears they may only go half way with him instead of all the way. Ah well enjoy what we got I suppose.

I can picture them slapping a night setting to the ending and have the characters looking up to the stars, each going to their happy place (in #17's case, it would be the moment he killed Gero). Boogie Back, Boogie Back...

It's a good song, but I personally can't see it in Dragon Ball.

But hey, if the visuals are nice then it's got something going for it.

Yeah visuals are gonna make or break the ED. For example the current ED is great but pre the visual update I wasn't really feeling it.

Episode 84 isn't looking good :? . I don't mind the martial art thing since Krillin has a full time job and therefore may not have time to train, i'm more worried about the Krillin and Gohan sparing. This is supposed to be a Krillin (and Lazuli ?) focused episode, this fight may eclipse the value of Krillin growth because of Gohan. Gohan is a hyped strong character and Krillin is, overall, a low rated punching ball, it will be difficult for Toei to switch attention from Gohan to Krillin (and make the growth viable) without receiving the community salt.

That was also said for SSJ+God Ki Goku and regular SSJ Gohan, and the community didnt complain.

This is another evidence Krillin and Gohan will have good performances in the tournament, Krillins spot is basically like Gohan(Started out of shape, then got into shape only to retire and now he will be forced to come out of retirement).

It would be good if Krillin and Gohan are the last 2 survivors in the Tournament of Power.

Yeah, I never really was into J-Pop and modern Japanese music overall. It's unlistenable for me.
But hey, I am not the demographic for it :)

Ummm there was a lot of complaining about the whole Goku vs Gohan episode. Maybe you were fortunate enough to not witness the senseless bickering.
