This is HILARIOUS, in the worst kind of way.

I know! Look at that little clock in the top left-hand corner! Such a pitiful attempt.

Do we have the next episode title yet?

[JulieYBM]

Do we have the next episode title yet?

Yes, our friends at Kanzentai updated their episode guide with #45's title on Friday.

"It's a 20-Fold Kaio-ken! A Kamehameha With Everything on the Line"

I bet, Goku goes SSJ in episode 47? Any takers?

[Hujio]

I bet, Goku goes SSJ in episode 47? Any takers?

If they cut things done enough, it would be very possible for him to transform at the very end of 46. I mean, about a combined half of Z episodes 93, 94, and 95 are filler, with the the Ginyu Tokusentai appearing on Kaio's planet and Ginyu the frog. My guess is 46, but I don't know what to bet.

[Blue]

I tried to crunch the numbers as best as I could and I got 46 too. It would be a great capper for the episode.

(Wow 46 was just the beginning of the Namek saga in Z.)

[TheMajinRedComet]

It really depends on how fast Goku develops his Spirit Bomb.

[worldmonsters]

So how was the Ginyu filler?

[JulieYBM]

So how was the Ginyu filler?

The music was...quaint. Otherwise, not all the intrusive with the way it was cut into the episode.

Curiosity got the better of me and I just watched it :p I agree, it wasn't really intrusive at all However, it would've been... more rounded had they completed that little filler story before the end of the episode. But on the other hand... the cliffhanger really sort of worked. I agree on the music :p

So, next episode 40x Kamehameha, after that Spirit Bomb and the Super Saiyajin? I'm gonna bet on 48... depending on filler of course :p </abridged humor>

[Rod]

Could someone please post screencaps of the re dawn scenes?

[Chuquita]

I miss some of the Freeza arc animation teams. Aside from the redrawn scenes--all of which still seem kind of stilted to me--most of the animation in this episode was really enjoyable to watch.

Episode 92's footage is coming up, I wonder if they're going to cut out Goku's underwater visions (or subsequently, will Toei give the naked Vegeta digital underwear?).

[ThunderPX]

Why was Goku thinking about a naked Vegeta anyway?

On a more serious note, it was kinda funny how in Goku and Freeza's conversation early on in this episode, only shots of Freeza were redrawn, while Goku's were still the old ones. It looked like the two characters were from different worlds or something.

[Drayenko]

Hmm, another mistake they didn't fix, just before the fight starts, Goku takes his orange gi off, but then it reappears. Let's see if you understand what I mean, here's the video:

In full screen that error will be very noticeable.
