Hello, ladies, gentlemen, and everyone between and beyond, and welcome to week 105 of the first Dragon Ball rewatch of the decade.
We're doing five episodes a week, and we'll be watching every single episode of Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and Dragon Ball GT. All 508 episodes. Plus the TV specials and the movies.
I encourage you all to watch in Japanese with subtitles, especially if you have never done so before, but watch along in whichever way brings you the most joy.
My apologies once again for the late posting.
As decided by last week's poll, it's GT 16-20 this week.
Previous thread: Week 104 (GT 11-15)
