Fact Checker (update: Ep.51)

[Puto]

　18:21 | Vegeta: "He's only saying that because he doesn't know the Kaiō-ken. The Kaiō-ken may enhance your fighting abilities, but in exchange, it burns through your stamina like nothing else! And Super Saiyan on its own already forces the body far past its limits, so using that technique on top of Super Saiyan is practically suicide! I'm sure that's why he's kept the Kaiō-ken off limits for so long."

That's not ALL Vegeta. Half of that is the elder Kaioshin.

[EmmaWinters]

You're right! Fixed. Thanks Puto~

[EmmaWinters]

Updated.

Spoiler:

Context: Hit explains how he dodged Goku's Kaiō-ken assault.

　04:44 | Hit: "In that instant, I extended my time-skip even further to dodge your attack."
　04:58 | Hit: "And I'll continue to extend it."

Significance: Hit continues to improve his time-skip, and is confident that he can continue extending it. At this point, he stops ascribing exact time limits.

---

Context: Champa urges Hit to avoid Goku's Kaiō-ken until it runs out.

　06:47 | Cabba: "Hit-san's pride wouldn't allow him to win like..."
　06:50 | Champa: "Who cares?! This contest is between me and Beerus."
　07:01 | Champa: "You're nothing but pawns in our game!"
　07:31 | Goku: "Let's show him we're more than just pawns!"

Significance: This snide comment sticks with Hit and Goku, and is revisited later.

---

Context: Goku requests a completely rule-free fight.

　11:40 | U6 Kaiōshin: "Hit is an Assassin! That means the rules prevent him from using any of his assassination techniques...?"
　11:45 | Kaiōshin: "I see. And Hit's true strength lies in those techniques..."
　11:51 | Goku: "If Hit had gone all-out, that last blow might've killed me. Right?"

Significance: Goku wishes to remove the rules, so that Hit is free to use his assassination techniques. In other words, Goku wants to see Hit at his best.

---

Context: Hit doesn't understand Goku's request for a rule-free match.

　12:09 | Hit: "Aren't you afraid of dying?"
　12:11 | Goku: "See, your next attack ain't gonna connect."
　12:19 | Hit: "I see. I never thought there would be someone like you out there."

Significance: Despite Hit's continued improvements, Goku seems confident that he can handle whatever Hit has in store.

---

Context: Champa wants to grant Goku's request. Beerus wants to leave the rules unchanged.

　13:06 | Goku: "Aww... Looks like this is gonna drag on a while..."
　13:12 | Hit: "I suppose we really are nothing but pawns after all."
　13:16 | Goku: "For now."
　13:18 | Hit: "For now?"
　13:19 | Goku: "Yeah. Right? Someday, when there ain't nothin' in our way..."
　13:26 | Goku: "...we'll fight to our heart's content."

Significance: For now. As we all know, Goku will always strive to improve himself, and Hit seems to have a newfound interest in doing the same.

---

Context: Goku jumps out of the ring.

　13:52 | Goku: "Hey, I fell out of the ring."
　13:55 | Referee: "Oh... Uh... The rules are still in place. The rules are still in place!"
　14:01 | Referee: "Contestant Hit wins!"

Significance: With the old rules still in place, Goku's ring-out gives the win to Hit.

---

Context: Monaka is next.

　15:19 | Beerus: "Do you realize what you've done?!"
　15:23 | Goku: "Even if we'd kept goin', I woulda run out of time for the Kaio-ken and lost anyway."
　15:40 | Goku: "Look, we've still got Monaka, remember? He's even stronger than me!"
　15:45 | Whis: "Oh, that's right~!"
　16:51 | Beerus: "It's hopeless. It's all over!"

Significance: Goku claims that he probably would have lost anyway, had he not forfeit. Additionally, Goku is still under the impression that Monaka is the strongest man on their team.

---

Context: Hit throws the match, #18 style.

　19:12 | Hit: "Now we're even."

Significance: Hit repays Goku for an enjoyable match, and for helping him improve throughout the fight.

---

Context: Goku goes over to his friends.

　18:50 | Galactic King: "Are you all right? That was a good battle."
　18:53 | Goku: "It's all thanks to you, Galactic King."
　18:55 | Goku: "If you hadn't told me about the time-skip, I'd have been completely helpless."
　18:59 | Goku: "Thanks!"
　19:04 | Galactic King: "That's my winkie."

Significance: Without the Galactic King who explained Hit's technique, Goku probably would have fared similarly to Vegeta. And as many fans have doubtlessly speculated, the Galactic King does indeed have a winkie. On top of that, Goku shakes it firmly.

---

Context: Hit returns to Champa.

　19:29 | Hit: "You can keep the cube. Just let me go home already."
　19:41 | Champa: "Not only did you constantly ignore my orders, you were a total pushover in the final match..."
　19:50 | Champa: "You'll never leave here alive! Every last one of you have disgraced me!"
　20:06 | Champa: "I'm gonna destroy you all!"

Significance: Shows that Champa is a total baby, and is confident that he can kill Hit. Also shows that Hit is no longer interested in the cube that would allow him to travel to other Universes.

---

Context: Champa prepares to kill his entire time.

　20:11 | Beerus: "Son Goku! Don't step out of line."
　20:16 | Goku: "But Beerus-sama..."
　20:17 | Beerus: "You guys did well, I suppose. Congratulations."
　20:22 | Beerus: "But the competition is over. Your time in the spotlight has come to an end."
　20:28 | Champa: "That's right. Everything is back to normal now. We're in charge of everything!"

Significance: Shows that Beerus is content with letting Champa kill his entire team.

---

Context: A strange group of figures appear in the ring.

　21:11 | Vados: "Champa-sama!"
　21:12 | Champa: "What?!"
　21:17 | Whis: "Beerus-sama."
　21:23 | Beerus: "Hey, you're kidding right?"
　21:30 | Champa: "That's... That's the..."
　21:41 | Both: "King of All!"

Significance: "King of All" is a translation of "Zen'ō", which is essentially "King/Lord of All There Is".
Sorta like how Kaiō could be translated as "King of Worlds".

There has been some speculation that his title is actually "Xeno" – a reference to Xenoverse – but this is likely not the case. Zenō (全王/ゼンオウ) and the "Xeno" in Xenoverse (ゼノバース/*zenobaasu*) are both spelled differently. The "X" on his chest has been cited as proof, but that marking is simply two 全/*Zen* characters on top of each other.

[The Doc]

　06:47 | Cabba: "Hit-san's pride wouldn't allow him to win like..."
　06:50 | Hit: "Who cares?! This contest is between me and Beerus."
　07:01 | Hit: "You're nothing but pawns in our game!"
　07:31 | Goku: "Let's show him we're more than just pawns!"

These lines you have marked as said by Hit were actually said by Champa.

[fadeddreams5]

Context: Champa urges Hit to avoid Goku's Kaiō-ken until it runs out.

　06:47 | Cabba: "Hit-san's pride wouldn't allow him to win like..."
　06:50 | Champa: "Who cares?! This contest is between me and Beerus."

Significance: Hit does not approve of Floyd Mayweather.

[Lord Beerus]

Context: Champa urges Hit to avoid Goku's Kaiō-ken until it runs out.

　06:47 | Cabba: "Hit-san's pride wouldn't allow him to win like..."
　06:50 | Champa: "Who cares?! This contest is between me and Beerus."

Significance: Hit does not approve of Floyd Mayweather.

Context: Champa urges Hit to avoid Goku's Kaiō-ken until it runs out.

　06:47 | Cabba: "Hit-san's pride wouldn't allow him to win like..."
　06:50 | Champa: "Who cares?! This contest is between me and Beerus."

Significance: Hit does not approve of Floyd Mayweather.

HAHHH.

Updated~

Spoiler:

Context: The King of All appears.

　02:41 | Kaiōshin: "Who's this annoyed-looking kid?"
　02:45 | Elder Kaiōshin: "You fool!"
　02:57 | Beerus: "The King of All... The one who rules over all twelve universes!"

Significance: While Elder Kaiōshin is well aware of the King of All, Kaiōshin has never seen him before. Beerus explains who he is.

---

Context: The gods approach The King of All. He speaks to Beerus and Champa.

　03:55 | King of All: "See, about your job as Gods of Destruction... You can't slack off so much, see."
　04:01 | Whis: "Hear this, King of All."
　04:03 | Whis: "Beerus-sama here is more interested in naps and snacks than in destruction."
　04:08 | Vados: "Champa-sama has neglected his health, as you can clearly see. He claims it doesn't get in the way of his work, and even though I try to offer him meals with a proper nutritional balance, he just says "Your food is friggin' disgusting". Sob, sob..."
　04:24 | King of All: "Maybe I should get new Gods of Destruction."
　04:28 | King of All: "Just kidding."

Significance: Shows that if Gods of Destruction "slack off", they could be replaced.
Shows that Beerus and Champa have been slacking off on their duties.
Shows that the King of All can be pretty lax, and has a sense of humor.

---

Context: The King of All continues.

　04:33 | King of All: "When I saw what you were up to, it looked fun. Really fun, see. So, see, I was thinking, see, maybe next time I'll try gathering fighters from all the universes, see, and holding another competition like this myself."

Significance: Lays the foundation for a future competition between all 12 universes.

---

Context: Overhearing the possibility of another competition, Goku approaches.

　04:51 | Goku: "For real?! That sounds awesome! Let's do it! C'mon, let's!"
　04:58 | Beerus: "Y-You imbecile!"
　05:26 | King of All: "See, that was a great match. We'll do a tournament then, see. Sometime soon, see."
　05:37 | Goku: "It's a deal!"
　06:27 | King of All: "See you! I'm going home, see."
　06:29 | Goku: "Sure. See you later."
　06:38 | Attendants: "Bye-cha!"

Significance: Goku's casual/familiar tone puts Beerus on edge, but the King of All takes it in stride.
Curiously, his attendants leave with a "Bye-cha", Arale's quirky way of saying goodbye in Dr. Slump.

---

Context: The King of All leaves. Beerus speaks to Goku.

　06:47 | Beerus: "You know..."
　06:48 | Beerus: "If the King of All felt like it, he could wipe out all twelve universes in an instant!"
　06:54 | Goku: "Seriously?! But he didn't seem like a bad guy, so I doubt he'll do that. Right?"

Significance: 一瞬で消せる/to erase instantly.

---

Context: Goku approaches Hit.

　07:55 | Goku: "I ain't sure when the King of All's competition is gonna be. Think you can wait 'til then?"
　08:01 | Goku: "If not, I'm fine fightin' it out again somewhere in three days or so."
　08:07 | Goku: "...Oh, is three days no good?"
　08:09 | Goku: "Tomorrow then, okay?"
　08:14 | Goku: "See ya!"

Significance: Goku attempts to arrange a playdate with Hit, but gets no response.

---

Context: Mr. Satan approaches Monaka.

　08:30 | Mr. Satan: "You're so strong! What do you say?"
　08:32 | Mr. Satan: "How about signing a contract with me to become my gym's mascot?"

Significance: Ironically, Mr. Satan fully buys into Monaka's/Beerus' ruse.

---

Context: Bulma uses the radar to search for the last Super Dragon Ball, but it's nowhere to be found.

　09:10 | Number 18: "Wait...Aren't there already seven signals here?"
　09:17 | Bulma: "One... Two... Oh, now that you mention it, there are seven!"
　09:24 | Bulma: "But there's only six here..."
　09:27 | Whis: "What could this mean?"

Significance: The last Super Dragon Ball is the nameless planet, as many predicted.

---

Context: Bulma explains how to summon the Super Dragon Balls' dragon.
Red words = "chonmage".

　11:30 | Bulma: "You're supposed to say "Come forth, Divine Dragon, and grant my wish, pretty peas" in the language of the Gods."
　11:36 | Beerus: "Shout what I'm about to say to the Super Dragon Balls!"
　11:43 | Beerus: "Umm... Hsiw ym tnarg dna, Nogard Enivid, htrof emoc..."
　11:51 | Beerus: "Topknot... What's a topknot?"
　11:53 | Bulma: "You know, the hairstyle that sumo wrestlers and samurai use."
　11:57 | Beerus: "There's no word for that in the language of the Gods!"

Significance: Instead of saying choudai/please as you normally would, you say chonmage/topknot, turning it into a low-effort dad joke. This has been adapted by most translation groups as "pretty peas", or "easy peasy lemon squeezy", after Herms coined both terms while translating Chapter 7.

Amusingly, the "language of the gods" is simply backwards Japanese.

---

Context: The enormous dragon devours everyone, and like, a bajillion planets.

　16:34 | Bulma: "Where... are we?"
　16:37 | Piccolo: "We're probably inside this Super Shenlong's body."

Significance: Piccolo brands the dragon "Super Shenlong", which is exactly how Porunga is referred to in the anime.

---

Context: A much smaller (but still enormous) version of the dragon appears.

　17:32 | Bulma: "Is this Super Shenlong's real body?"
　17:35 | Beerus: "It would be more accurate to call it his core, or his nucleus."
　17:41 | Kuririn: "Do you understand any of this?"
　17:42 | Number 18: "Nope."

Significance: "Nope."

---

Context: The wish is decided on.

　18:10 | Beerus: "Xis Esrevinu fo dniknamuh dna Htrae eht erotser."
　18:16 | Whis: "Are you sure about that?"
　18:18 | Beerus: "Yeah."
　18:19 | Whis: "Very well. Then I will say it."

Significance: Beerus restores Universe 6's Earth, as well as its inhabitants.
Shortly after, he lies to everyone, claiming he wished for a more comfortable bed.

---

Context: Vados gets a notification.

　19:55 | Vados: "Humanity has been revived on the Earth in Universe 6."
　20:01 | Vados: "What's more, their culture is like that of Universe 7's Earth."
　20:06 | Champa: "Which means..."
　20:07 | Vados: "...that we, too, can eat the delicious foods of Earth."
　20:32 | Whis: "You are too kind."
　20:33 | Beerus: "Shut it. I only did it so that Champa would owe me one."

Significance: Universe 6's Earth is quite similar to Universe 7's Earth.

[Sodhi]

Pretty surprised that DragonTeam missed the whole sumo wrestlers and samurai hairstyle thing. However they did translate the language of gods, which I give them props for.

[Lord Beerus]

Context: Goku approaches Hit.

　07:55 | Goku: "I ain't sure when the King of All's competition is gonna be. Think you can wait 'til then?"
　08:01 | Goku: "If not, I'm fine fightin' it out again somewhere in three days or so."
　08:07 | Goku: "...Oh, is three days no good?"
　08:09 | Goku: "Tomorrow then, okay?"
　08:14 | Goku: "See ya!"

Significance: Goku attempts to arrange a playdate with Hit, but gets no response.

But Hit's parents tell Goku he can't come out to play, leaving Goku sad.

[Ajay]

Pretty surprised that DragonTeam missed the whole sumo wrestlers and samurai hairstyle thing. However they did translate the language of gods, which I give them props for.

They didn't miss it, they just wrote themselves into a corner by using "Pretty Peas" as their adaptation of the summoning. They adapted the sumo/samurai line to fit their original adaptation, which I thought was pretty clever.

Their version:

"Pretty peas"? What does "pretty peas" mean?
Come on, it's a cutesy way of saying "pretty please".
There's no equivalent of that in the language of the Gods!

It has the same meaning, it's just adapted to make sense with their original word choice.

[MozillaVulpix]

This whole "chonmage" business made me really curious about what FUNimation will handle it. Heck, even how Toonami Asia will handle it.

[DragonHermit]

Is it confirmed that Zeno is a great fighter. Beerus says "if he wished for it, he can destroy all 12 universe in the blink of an eye". The "if he wished for" line caught my attention. Does he some magical power or access to magical power rather than being a great fighter?

Wish I could speak Japanese in times like these.

[EmmaWinters]

Beerus says "if he wished for it, he can destroy all 12 universe in the blink of an eye". The "if he wished for" line caught my attention. Does he some magical power or access to magical power rather than being a great fighter?

The original line simply means that if the King of All chose to, he could wipe out all 12 universes (no mention of making a "wish"). I suppose magical techniques/powers aren't out of the question, but they certainly aren't implied.

Is it confirmed that Zeno is a great fighter.

There is no mention of combat prowess or physical strength.

This whole "chonmage" business made me really curious about what FUNimation will handle it. Heck, even how Toonami Asia will handle it.

I'm very interested in finding out!

[Herms]

So this bit...

12:57 | Jaco: "He's vanishing mid-attack. Completely."
　13:22 | Galactic King: "He might be time-skipping. I've only heard rumors about it myself, but supposedly some people can cause a slight skip in time. I believe it was roughly a 0.1 second skip. Simply put, he can freeze time for everything but himself for 0.1 seconds."
　13:51 | Goku: "Freeze things for 0.1 seconds?"
　13:54 | Jaco: "It may just be 0.1 seconds, but for someone as quick as him,"
　13:59 | Jaco: "that's more than enough time to gain an advantage."

...incorrectly attributed the line "Simply put, he can freeze time for everything but himself for 0.1 seconds" to the Galactic King, when actually it was said by Jaco. Fixed now. I apologize for any confusion.

Is it confirmed that Zeno is a great fighter. Beerus says "if he wished for it, he can destroy all 12 universe in the blink of an eye". The "if he wished for" line caught my attention. Does he some magical power or access to magical power rather than being a great fighter?

The phrase in Japanese is ki ni nareba, "if he felt like it". It's not related to the word used in Japanese for making wishes to the dragon or anything like that (the word for that kind of wish is negai).

[Bonus Stage]

18:10 | Beerus: "Xis Esrevinu fo dniknamuh dna Htrae eht erotser."

How to say it in hiragana, or as it was said in the anime?

[Sandubadear]

18:10 | Beerus: "Xis Esrevinu fo dniknamuh dna Htrae eht erotser."

How to say it in hiragana, or as it was said in the anime?

Here:



Except for the "chonmage", all syllables are backwards.

[EmmaWinters]

18:10 | Beerus: "Xis Esrevinu fo dniknamuh dna Htrae eht erotser."

How to say it in hiragana, or as it was said in the anime?

As shown above, the wish is written backwards in Katakana:
ロセラエガミヨ　ヲイルンジ　トウユキチ　ノウユチウクロイダ。

Which in regular (non-backwards) Japanese would be:
第六宇宙の　地球と　人類を　よみがえらせろ。

[Speedster]

In episode 44 at around min 13:50 Gryll explains that the "superhuman water" can increase one's power by what? 100 or "hundreds" of times? Herms translated as "hundreds", the subs I watched say "hundred". I can hear the 百="hyaku"=100 part but does he actually say 何百="Nan hyaku"="hundreds"? Can someone write down the exact sentence in Japanese?

[EmmaWinters]

In episode 44 at around min 13:50 Gryll explains that the "superhuman water" can increase one's power by what? 100 or "hundreds" of times? Herms translated as "hundreds", the subs I watched say "hundred". I can hear the 百="hyaku"=100 part but does he actually say 何百="Nan hyaku"="hundreds"? Can someone write down the exact sentence in Japanese?

Herms is correct, 何百倍 is "hundreds of times" or "several hundred times". It isn't precise.

超人水。　飲めば　力が 何百倍にもなるという奇跡の水。
"The Superhuman Water. A miraculous water that, once drank, increases your power hundreds of times over."

Thanks for pointing that out! I'll be sure to mention this line.

[EmmaWinters]

Updated! I'll be handling the next arc a bit quicker than this, so if you
have any questions this coming weekend, feel free to ask away.

Spoiler:

Context: Bulma invites Beerus and Whis to a post-tournament victory party, and tells them to bring Monaka.

　03:19 | Beerus: "If we allow Son Goku to meet Monaka, he'll surely keep insisting that we let them fight."
　03:25 | Whis: "Why not simply admit that Monaka-san is weak?"
　03:29 | Beerus: "No way. Without him, Goku and Vegeta wouldn't be as motivated. Besides... I am a god. If word got out that I lied, my authority would diminish. It wouldn't give the King of All a good impression of me, either."
　03:49 | Whis: "So in the end, you're just worried about yourself?"

Significance: Reiterates that Monaka is weak, and was used only as motivation.

---

Context: Monaka arrives, delivering the food that Jaco ordered.

　05:35 | Monaka: "Your order has arrived."
　05:38 | Bulma: "Aren't you Monaka?! Why are you doing deliveries?"
　05:46 | Monaka: "I work as a deliveryman for a universe-wide shipping company."

Significance: Reveals Monaka's occupation. Perhaps he met Beerus and Whis by delivering snacks?

---

Context: Mr. Satan approaches Monaka.

　06:10 | Mr. Satan: "Why, if it isn't Kinako-san!"
　06:15 | Monaka: "It's Monaka, actually."

Significance: Kinako being roasted soybean flour.

---

Context: Goten and Trunks accidentally knock Monaka into a table.

　07:37 | Goten: "Monaka-san's crying."
　07:43 | Yamcha: "Isn't he the strongest in the universe?"
　07:49 | Kuririn: "Is it possible Monaka's actually super weak?"
　08:14 | Beerus: "What?! What's he doing here?!"
　08:17 | Bulma: "Hang on, Beerus-sama. Why didn't you invite Monaka?"
　08:25 | Bulma: "Let me guess... Were you perhaps scared we would all find out he's actually a weakling?"
　08:36 | Whis: "Beerus-sama, it seems they've all realized."

Significance: With the exception of Goku, everyone now knows Beerus' secret.

---

Context: Whis and Beerus instruct the others.

　08:51 | Beerus: "Listen up, all of you!"
　08:53 | Beerus: "Goku is the one person that must absolutely not find out about this!"
　09:59 | Whis: "If Goku-san finds out that Monaka-san isn't actually strong, he would probably still keep up with his training, but it's unlikely he'd be quite as motivated. And we need Goku-san to become much, much stronger. The Gods of Destruction from the other universes are quite brutal. If we lose the tournament between all the universes, there's no telling what might happen to this Earth."

Significance: The promise of fighting against 11 other universes isn't motivation enough. We need Monaka!

---

Context: Beerus dons a Monaka costume, and fights with Goku.

　15:47 | Piccolo: "Beerus-sama is having trouble?!"
　15:48 | Jaco: "It's because he's got that costume to worry about."
　17:46 | Whis: "He might have started to enjoy this. He's never fought in such a restraint before. Beerus-sama was only a spectator back during the tournament, so he must have been itching for a fight."

Significance: The costume proves to be a handicap, but that doesn't stop Beerus from enjoying the fight.

Spoiler:

Context: Struggling to fly and teleport, Goku visits Kaiō.

　03:19 | Goku: "Huh? W-What's goin' on?"
　03:24 | Goku: "My body ain't listenin' to me!"
　06:03 | Kaiō: "This must be a case of Late-Onset Disordered Ki Syndrome."
　06:06 | Goku: "Late-Onset what now?"
　06:08 | Kaiō: "If you use your ki in a particularly irresponsible way,"
　06:12 | Kaiō: "a few days later you might find yourself unable to control your ki properly."

Significance: Goku has come down with an illness that disrupts one's ki, caused by overexertion. Surprisingly, we've never seen this before.

---

Context: Kaiō warns of long-term effects

　06:59 | Kaiō: "You can't keep pushing your limits like that all the time! Before you've realized it, your senses and intuition will become thrown out of balance, preventing you from fighting properly. Which means you won't be able to get any stronger."

Significance: Shows that repeated overexertion could have long-term ramifications, affecting Goku's ability to fight and train.

---

Context: Goku and Gohan discuss Gohan's future

　09:23 | Goku: "So you might get hired as an assistant for some great professor?"
　09:28 | Gohan: "T-That's right."
　10:04 | Chichi: "An assistant to a university professor, huh?"
　10:07 | Chichi: "He'll be the first ever diligent Saiyan in Universe 7!"

Significance: Gohan's hard work is finally paying off!

---

Context: Goku, unable to control himself, flies right through his house, destroying it.

　10:20 | Chichi: "How much do you think it's gonna cost to fix our broken house?!"
　10:25 | Chichi: "If we didn't have those hundred million zeny from Mr Satan, we'd never be able to afford it!"
　10:31 | Goku: "Didn't you spend all that?"
　10:35 | Goku: "Was that a lie?"
　10:37 | Chichi: "I-If I hadn't told you that, you'd never have done any decent work!"
　10:42 | Chichi: "And Goten-chan's education is gonna lead to lots of expenses in the future."

Significance: While Chichi claimed to have spent Satan's money in Episode 1, we've now learned that wasn't really the case.

---

Context: Piccolo, who has been babysitting Pan, leaves Pan in Chichi's care.

　11:05 | Piccolo: "Chichi, do you know how to make baby food? Pan likes vegetable pancakes with tuna and soy pulp. You'll need to cut up the carrots, onion, spinach and broccoli thoroughly. It's important to do that in advance. And she's prone to wandering off on her own, so keep an eye on her at all times. The picture books are there. Her toys are over there. If she cries at night, sing her a song."
　11:31 | Chichi: "A song?"
　11:32 | Goku: "You sing for her?"
　11:37 | Piccolo: "One last thing. Pan is very shy."
　11:40 | Piccolo: "She'll cry if anyone but me holds her,"
　11:43 | Piccolo: "so if you really need help... just, uh... call me."

Significance: Piccolo loves children.

---

Context: Goku and Piccolo are relaxing together.

　12:36 | Goku: "Goin' a whole day without trainin' just don't seem right."
　12:42 | Piccolo: "How do you feel?"
　12:44 | Goku: "Well... If I fought you right now, I'd probably lose."
　12:49 | Piccolo: "I see."

Significance: This illness sure packs a punch.

---

Context: Pan is abducted by Pilaf, Shu and Mai. Later, she begins to fly.

　18:53 | Mai: "She's flying?!"
　19:46 | Pilaf: "She's still a baby!"
　19:49 | Shu: "But she is a Saiyan..."
　20:12 | Shu: "She's gonna be terrifying someday..."

Significance: Pan is now the youngest of the main cast to fly. Somehow, Shu knows what a Saiyan is.

Spoiler:

Context: Monaka delivers some sweets that Bulma ordered. While inside:

　04:14 | Bulma: "Hey, Monaka, could you hold this for a bit?"
　04:18 | Bulma: "I need someone to help me with my experiment, but there's nobody around right now."
　04:22 | Monaka: "But I still have a delivery to make on Planet Pot-au-feu..."

Significance: Planet Pot-au-feu shares its name with the popular french dish.

---

Context: On Planet Pot-au-feu, Monaka makes another delivery.

　10:10 | Potage: "Monaka-san!"
　10:10 | Monaka: "Potage-san. Your order of "Cosmic Martial Arts Monthly" has arrived."

Significance: Potage (ポタージュ/Potaaju) shares his name with a type of French soup.

---

Context: Potage, Monaka, Trunks and Goten are all captured by a mysterious alien.

　13:47 | Gryll: "The Superhuman Water. The miraculous water said to multiply your power several hundred times if you swallow it."
　13:56 | Potage: ""Miraculous water", yeah right! There's no such thing!"
　14:00 | Potage: "If you undo the seal, you'll only get swallowed up yourself!"
　14:04 | Trunks: "It's so easy to break free, but... If only they didn't have a hostage."
　14:09 | Gryll: "This is the Superhuman Water... Now the universe is mine!"

Significance: We learn next episode that the Superhuman Water doesn't actually multiply anyone's power, it absorbs their power and copies their mind and appearance. This of course means that in this scene, the Superhuman Water absorbs Gryll's power, along with the rest of his crew, leaving them for dead.

Some groups claimed the Superhuman Water only multiplies a person's power 100 times over (instead of several hundred times).

---

Context: Bulma calls Jaco to go find Trunks and Goten.

　15:42 | Bulma: "He said he was going to Planet Pot-au-feu next, so that's probably where they are."
　15:47 | Jaco: "Planet Pot-au-feu? But that's supposed to be uninhabited..."
　15:50 | Jaco: "Regardless, I must refuse. I am currently in pursuit of a vicious wanted man, the Sautéan Gryll!"
　16:35 | Bulma: "I see. In that case I guess I'll have to spill the beans..."
　16:38 | Bulma: "about you drawing a beard on that photo of the Galactic King."
　16:40 | Jaco: "What?! You saw that?"
　16:54 | Bulma: "What if you get fired once he finds out?"
　17:11 | Vegeta: "You use him like a slave."
　17:14 | Bulma: "You're going, too."
　17:15 | Vegeta: "What?! Me too?!"

Significance: The Sautéans (ソテー人) get their name directly from the word sauté (ソテー)
Gryll's name (グリール/Guriiru) is derived from Grill (グリル/Guriru).

---

Context: Goku trains on Kaiō's world, nearly destroying it in the process.

　18:20 | Kaiō: "Will you cut it out?! Goku! Don't you understand how strong you are now?! What are you gonna do if my planet is destroyed because of that enormous ki you're releasing?! You've recovered from Late-Onset Disordered Ki Syndrome, right? If you want to train, then go to Beerus-sama's!"
　18:43 | Goku: "That's what I wanna do, but Whis-san went off somewhere."

Significance: Reveals that Goku has fully recovered, and that Whis is away somewhere. Perhaps his absense will somehow tie into the upcoming story arc?

Spoiler:

Context: Copy-Vegeta appears.

　02:53 | Vegeta: "Who the hell do you think you are?!"
　02:56 | Vegeta: "Transforming into an exact copy of me..."
　02:58 | Copy Vegeta: "I'm not a copy."
　03:00 | Copy Vegeta: "I've taken all of your power. Now, I am Vegeta!"
　03:06 | Copy Vegeta: "You're nothing more than an empty husk!"
　03:11 | Vegeta: "What the hell kind of nonsense are you spouting?"
　03:13 | Vegeta: "You're nothing but an impostor! Drop dead!"
　03:22 | Vegeta: "What?! I can't fire..."
　03:25 | Copy Vegeta: "Is this what you were trying to do? Gallic Gun!"

Significance: Shows that the Superhuman Water is capable of stealing other's power and taking on their appearance. Also shows that the Superhuman Water copies more than just raw power; Copy-Vegeta knows all of Vegeta's techniques.

---

Context: Copy-Vegeta is ordered to absorb the others.

　03:57 | Copy Gryll: "Now, absorb the others' power as well."
　04:01 | Copy Gryll: "How about that kid?"
　04:05 | Copy Vegeta: "Trunks..."

Significance: Copy-Vegeta recognizes Trunks and hesitates to kill him, showing that the Superhuman Water can also copy one's mind, as Potage later explains.

---

Context: Vegeta and the others escape into a cave.

　05:43 | Potage: "What attacked us just now was the Superhuman Water."
　05:45 | Jaco: "What? Superhuman Water?!"
　05:49 | Vegeta: "You know of it?"
　06:08 | Jaco: "I believe it was a miraculous water,"
　06:09 | Jaco: "that will increase your power several hundred times over if you drink it..."
　06:13 | Jaco: "I didn't think it actually existed."
　06:17 | Potage: "This "miraculous water" doesn't exist."
　06:24 | Potage: "The "Superhuman Water" is a name attributed by people from other planets, all on their own."
　06:31 | Potage: "Its true name is "Comméson"."
　06:36 | Potage: "It's a weapon that we, the people of Pot-au-feu, developed to defend ourselves."

Significance: Reveals the Superhuman Water's origin, its original name, and shows that Jaco was aware of its reputation.
The name Comméson (コメソン) presumably comes from the French word consommé (コンソメ), which is a type of soup.
One translation mistakenly claimed that the Superhuman Water boosts one's power "one hundred times", rather than "several hundred times" (何百倍).

---

Context: Potage explains the Superhuman Water's backstory.

　06:47 | Potage: "Long ago, our people, who had no strength of their own, discovered a liquid that absorbed the strength of others, leaving their victim powerless. They used this liquid to defend the planet from invaders. The Comméson's absorption powers were unlimited. It went on absorbing the power of our enemies, then disguised itself as clones of them. But the Comméson had absorbed too much evil power from invaders, and one day, it grew to bear an evil will of its own. It didn't just flawlessly clone others' personality and abilities, it started doing this for one single purpose: In short, it became a lifeform that would only absorb and absorb without end, purely in the pursuit of power. Because it appeared identical to the absorbed victims, only powered up, rumours that it was a miraculous water lured even more invaders here. But the real legend is what's yet to come... If the Comméson's power had continued to increase, then never mind Planet Pot-au-feu... The entire universe might be destroyed! With that in mind, we, the people of Pot-au-feu, sacrificed ourselves to seal the Comméson away. And the sole survivor, which would be me, has spent the last one hundred years plus defending its seal!"

Significance: Reveals that Potage's people had "no strength of their own", and gave their lives to seal away the Superhuman Water, leaving Potage as the only survivor.
Explains why after absorbing someone's power, the Superhuman Water takes on their appearance, explaining copy-Vegeta and copy-Gryll.
Reveals that the Superhuman Water has its evil nature due to all of the evil it's absorbed in the past.
According to Potage, the entire universe may be destroyed should the Superhuman Water be allowed to run wild.
According to Potage, the Superhuman Water can absorb anyone without limitation.

---

Context: In the cave.

　10:07 | Vegeta: "That fake has both my appearance and my abilities. In other words, it's practically the same as if I myself had been taken over by the Superhuman Water. But back then, he hesitated for a second to absorb Trunks. Why?! He should be nothing more than Superhuman Water!"
　10:28 | Potage: "That is the result of our craftsmanship."
　10:32 | Potage: "It has faithfully copied your mind as well!"
　10:38 | Vegeta: "I see. I wouldn't go so far as to absorb other people's power to become stronger, after all."
　10:44 | Potage: "But his heart is under the Superhuman Water's control."
　10:50 | Vegeta: "That thing is me, but he's letting himself be the slave of some monster?!"

Significance: Confirms that the Superhuman Water copied Vegeta's mind in addition to his power. Despite this, the Superhuman Water is still in control. Well, supposedly. As we see later, Vegeta's personality allows Copy-Vegeta to act independently.

---

Context: Still in the cave.

　10:58 | Vegeta: "What happens to those who have their power stolen by the Superhuman Water?"
　11:09 | Vegeta: "They die, right? Even me..."
　11:13 | Potage: "Once your body turns transparent, you'll only have three to five minutes left."
　11:17 | Potage: "I'm guessing that they're already..."
　11:28 | Jaco: "This is not good! I don't care about Gryll, but if Vegeta dies..."
　11:31 | Jaco: "Bulma will definitely blame me for it!"

Significance: Reveals that Gryll and his men are already dead, and that Vegeta will soon follow.

---

Context: Still in the cave. Still.

　11:33 | Jaco: "Is there no way to save him?!"
　11:38 | Potage: "The only way... The only way is to defeat the Superhuman Water!"
　11:42 | Goten: "Defeat him?"
　11:43 | Jaco: "The fake Vegeta?"
　11:46 | Vegeta: "So it's the same as defeating me."

Significance: Reveals that defeating the Superhuman Water will save Vegeta.
In case it weren't obvious already, we're told that it's the same as defeating the real Vegeta.

---

Context: Outside of the cave. Goten and Trunks fuse in preparation for battle.

　14:01 | Gotenks: "Ta-da! Super Gotenks 3 is here!"

Significance: While not in the manga, "Super Gotenks 3" is how the narrator refers to Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks in Dragon Ball Z.

---

Context: Gotenks tries an assortment of techniques.

　13:21 | Gotenks: "Miracle Punch!"
　13:25 | Gotenks: "Miracle Kick!"
　14:27 | Gotenks: "Great Special Rolling Kick!"
　14:39 | Gotenks: "Super Special Crash Hammer!"
　14:59 | Gotenks: "Finish Special... Flash Strong... Bomber!"

Significance: None. Gotenks prefers cool, flashy-sounding technique names, hence why they're all in English.

---

Context: Sensing ki in battle, Goku appears.

　18:44 | Goten: "Dad, be careful! He can absorb power!"
　18:48 | Copy Vegeta: "I won't do that! This is a serious duel to the death."
　18:56 | Copy Vegeta: "Kakarrot! I will defeat you!"
　19:00 | Copy Gryll: "What are you saying?! Absorb his power!"
　19:04 | Copy Vegeta: "I will show no mercy to anyone who interferes! No matter who they are!"
　19:08 | Copy Gryll: "You refuse to obey my orders?! In that case..."
　19:19 | Potage: "The Superhuman Water is trying to force the clone to obey!"
　19:25 | Vegeta: "You dare give me orders?!"
　19:27 | Copy Vegeta: "I will not be ordered around by anyone!"
　19:34 | Copy Gryll: "W-What?!"
　19:35 | Copy Vegeta: "Get lost, small-fry!"
　19:54 | Potage: "He shook off the Superhuman Water's control!"
　19:58 | Copy Vegeta: "Now the nuisance is gone. Let's get started!"

Significance: After the superhuman water copies Vegeta, Copy-Vegeta rebels and kills Copy-Gryll so that he can fight Goku uninhibited.

Spoiler:

Context: Goku fights Copy-Vegeta.

　04:47 | Vegeta: "What are you doing, Kakarrot?! Do you think you can beat me with attacks like those?!"
　06:03 | Vegeta: "Hey you! You're me, but you can't even take an attack like that?!"
　06:08 | Vegeta: "And you still dare to call yourself me?!"
　06:15 | Trunks: "Dad! If Goku-san doesn't win, you'll die!"
　06:20 | Vegeta: "I know that!"

Significance: Despite his life being on the line, Vegeta is too prideful to cheer for Goku.

---

Context: After exchanging blows.

　07:01 | Goku: "Vegeta's gotten even stronger..."
　07:05 | Copy-Vegeta: "Did you think you were the only one who'd improved?"

Significance: Shows that Vegeta has improved in the short time since the recent tournament.

---

Context: Vegeta calls out to his clone.

　08:29 | Vegeta: "What's with this pathetic fight?!"
　08:32 | Vegeta: "You dare to call yourself me?!"
　08:35 | Goku: "Hey, hey, Vegeta! Ain'tcha gonna die if I don't win?"
　08:45 | Vegeta: "I'd rather die than lose because I fought so disgracefully!"

Significance: Vegeta feels that Copy-Vegeta isn't fighting as well as he should be.

---

Context: Goku transforms into Super Saiyan Blue.

　09:32 | Vegeta: "A Saiyan with the power of a Super Saiyan God as a Super Saiyan."
　09:38 | Potage: "A Sai... what now?"
　09:44 | Copy-Vegeta: "You finally unleashed it, huh? Then I'll do the same."
　09:55 | Trunks: "Super Saiyan Blue!"
　09:58 | Goku: "I didn't think you could become a Super Saiyan Blue too."
　10:02 | Copy-Vegeta: "Weren't you listening? I am Vegeta."

Significance: Vegeta's description of SSB is the same given in the Resurrection 'F' arc.
Shows that – as expected – Copy-Vegeta can utilize Vegeta's transformations.

---

Context: Potage hands Vegeta the pacifier key.

　10:40 | Potage: "Suck on this! This is the key to the Superhuman Water's seal!"
　10:45 | Potage: "It might buy you at least a little extra time!"
　10:50 | Vegeta: "Thanks."

Significance: We learn at the end of the episode that Vegeta has no idea what a pacifier is, which is why he nonchalantly does as he's told. This also shows that Vegeta wasn't around and/or paying very much attention during Trunks' infancy.

---

Context: Potage recalls a major plot point.

　12:39 | Potage: "Ah! I just remembered! We just have to defeat the main body!"
　12:43 | Trunks: "Main body?"
　12:44 | Potage: "If we destroy the core in the Superhuman Water's main body,"
　12:47 | Potage: "all of its clones will weaken!"
　12:49 | Trunks: "Why didn't you say so sooner?!"
　12:52 | Potage: "What do you mean, "why"?"
　12:54 | Potage: "It's been over a hundred years! I'd forgotten!"

Significance: Oops.
Shows that the Superhuman Water can be weakened by destroying its core, which is kept in a "main body".
The "main body" in this case is Copy-Gryll's newly-splattered remains.

---

Context: The Superhuman Water chases Goten, Trunks and Jaco.

　14:07 | Jaco: "I don't want to die!"
　14:09 | Jaco: "The slightest touch is all it needs to completely absorb my power!"
　14:12 | Trunks: "We could easily defeat an impostor-you!"
　14:15 | Jaco: "What did you say?!"

Significance: In case there was any doubt.

---

Context: Monaka steps on the Superhuman Water's core, crushing it, allowing Goku to finish off a weakened Copy-Vegeta.

　19:24 | Potage: "The core may have shattered, but it's still dangerous. Thank you, Monaka-san! The Superhuman Water has been sealed off once again, thanks to you."

Significance: Shows that the Superhuman Water's core is easily broken once exposed.

---

Context: After the battle.

　19:54 | Goku: "So Monaka is the one who beat that Superhuman Water thing? Man, he really is strong! Still, what a shame... I was this close to beatin' Vegeta!"

Significance: Goku seems fairly confident that he could have won the match despite Vegeta's improvements.

---

Context: Next episode preview.

　22:49 | Trunks: "This is Trunks. With the defeat of Cell, the Earth of the future was supposed to be at peace... But then he appeared..."

Significance: Despite his new appearance, the implication is that this Future Trunks is the same Trunks we met in the Cell arc.
