Episode #0123! VegettoEX, Meri, and Jeff tackle volume 15 of the manga in our regular "Manga Review of Awesomeness" segment. We are closing in towards the final battle, and we have seen a lot of maturity in the author in terms of overall story structure and character development. Your e-mails and a contest to win a free DB DVD set round out the episode. Referenced sites:
Go ahead and grab it. Big thanks to godofchaos for hosting the appalling *one-hundred-twenty-three* episodes, now.
So Julian must have been busy this weekend... we can all forgive him, right...?!? Good times had by all. Don't have much else to say.
w0rd.

... You know, if you want to falsify Julian quotes... give an idea of what to shoot for and someone else could do it.

I think it's to the point that anything that's mildly funny becomes way funnier as soon as I hear Meri laugh at it.
In closing, todays ass = kicked. Well done, Head ChaLa.

I actually have a friend who sounds exactly like Julian. He's even an old Dragon Ball fan, but only of the dub.caejones wrote:... You know, if you want to falsify Julian quotes... give an idea of what to shoot for and someone else could do it. :twisted

For some reason, I always like it whenever Kuririn fights. I mean, he's just so different in terms of looks from the rest of the fighters. I know he's not the only human fighter, but his character seems like what I'd imagine an actual human in would be like, if that makes any sense. Just plain giving up when he knew he didn't have a chance against Piccolo is a good example of this.
Ah, Taopaipai... he seems like such a good character to bring back in stuff like filler (I mean, there was some interesting filler flashbacks of him sparring with Ten in the anime)... then I remember what happened in the Cell Saga. The same thing goes with Tsuru-Sennin. I agree with you guys that he's very much like a Scooby-Doo baddie in that he's the kind of "I'll get you damn kids!" character. I dunno how else to say it ...
Heh, the idea of "piecing together a Julian" reminds me of an Angry Beavers episode. You guys should seriously consider another April Fools podcast.
I'm sure I had more stuff to bring up, but I forgot most of 'em.

Ah, I love this part of the series. It's good to hear it discussed by people who like it as much as I do. Two things though:
The comment Ma Junior makes about the move Goku uses to defeat Chi-Chi is a reference to a technique that Piccolo Daimao used, where he would create a shockwave by waving his arm. With Chi-Chi Goku does basically the same thing, but with his fist. The implication is that Goku learned the technique from Kami-sama, whose fighting style would naturally be similar to Piccolo’s. Shen does in fact do a move very similiar to this at the start of his match with Ma Junior.
Also, Yajirobe figured out about Shen because they fought in the preliminaries. Or at least, he probably didn't figure out that Shen was Kami-sama, but that's how he knew there was something out of the ordinary about him.

I guess that always felt like too much of a stretch for me. The attack is so basic in the grand scheme of things (even for this part of the series, where the Kikoho is the "OMGCRAPANTS" attack), it just seems like it's something anyone could pick up and incorporate into any type of fighting style with ease.Herms wrote:The comment Ma Junior makes about the move Goku uses to defeat Chi-Chi is a reference to a technique that Piccolo Daimao used, where he would create a shockwave by waving his arm.

I don't know how basic they are, but not many people ever actually use shockwave attacks like that. Up to this part in the series, the only ones are Piccolo Daimao, Ma Junior, and Goku. I don't think a connection there is too much of a stretch. Then even later the only ones else to use it are Vegeta, Freeza, Cell, and Majin Buu. Only four, and one of them even has Piccolo's cells. And it's not like any of them are your average guys, either.VegettoEX wrote:I guess that always felt like too much of a stretch for me.

(all this comes from Daizenshuu 7's attack list)

I completely agree with Jeff on the weighted clothing issue pushing the excitement of the fight between Goku and Ten. However, I have to agree that choosing between 'Goku vs. Ten', and 'Ma Junior vs. Kuririn' is a tough choice. Not sure which I like better.
On the subject of renting movies and sending VHS sets for the contest prize, one of the video stores around my house in having a closing, "Everything must go!" sale, and they had some VHS DBZ videos when I was there earlier today. Despite the fact that I had all of the videos they were selling, I decided to buy the copy of "Arrival" they had. I should note that all of the VHS tapes were a dollar each, so I don't feel I really lost out.
Not that I feel it's necessary in the least to justify buying a DBZ double for a buck, but I thought I would share my reason anyway.

Another great episode. Like I've said before, I really like the Manga Reviews. Wouldn't you know it, it looks like the VizBig editions are gonna launch JUST in time for me to start seriously following along with the "DragonBall Z" portion!
