Great...now I'm having dreams about cryptic tweets and comedy sketches teasing the fate of DBZA. I'd say that's as good a warning as any to chill out about this...

BUT I've just seen this picture and I need a TFS take on it:

[spoiler]Image[/spoiler]

I think Goku leaving his children and Piccolo and Trunks to die while saving Mr Satan and co from Kid Buu's attack was the dumbest decision he ever made in the history of the franchise. I know he was under crazy amounts of pressure but come on!

God I can only imagine the unbelievable rant and verbal assault Lanipator's Vegeta would give Goku on Supreme Kai's Planet

Image
I mean, it was literally in there so that Satan could save the world & redeem himself from being a pain in the ass & a nobody in the Cell Saga, so I think it served its purpose well enough.

By the way, that first image isn't showing up.
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.

From an out of universe hindsight being 20/20 point of view yeah it makes sense,

But I'm talking from more of an in-universe being there as it happened perspective.

As for the pic not working, try this version, it just exaggerates the events a bit:

The anime really plays up the drama and extends the scene to the point of absurdity, but it's made clear that Goku was trying to IT to Gohan & co (since he couldn't reach them in time by flying) after saving Mr. Satan and Dende but he couldn't concentrate. His plan was to save both groups and IT out until IT failed to save Gohan and the others and he had to rely on Kibitoshin to leave.

This is one of the scenes that gets constantly misunderstood because of how poorly the anime adapted it.

I'm increasingly convinced the anime can be blamed for a lot of things wrong in the fandom, perhaps as many as the dub.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Loved the episode guys. Also thrilled about you continuing into Season 4. :D The Buu arc will be a fucking riot, so much ridiculous source material.

I'm a bit disappointed that Season 4 might not be 40 episodes long. The way you guys have paced the seasons, each of them are "X season is the number of the season time 10." Since the Buu Saga is longer in the anime form, I thought that that was the natural course.

Also I loved that orchestral "Gohan Angers" cover. Definitely one of the better team Faulconer tracks. The way it molds into a small instrumental of Unmei no Hi was pretty damn impressive. All of the music was top notch these past 3 episodes. :)

What a phenomenal episode. I’m ecstatic they’re actually tackling the Boo arc.

Now I am curious as to how the Videl-Dende-Gohan triangle is going to go down.

I wonder if the guys plan on keeping Justin Briner for Gohan.
Would be a nod to his more famous role...

[spoiler]I don't think a DBZA joke has landed as well for me as "DRAMATIC FINISH" in a long time. That, and the whole last part, was absolutely magical.[/spoiler]
