Great episode everyone... like always... Congrats on reaching the "Magical" 80!!! Your show is officially Senile!!! Haha... Anyways...

I have heard Zenkai used before, but only on forums (The Pojo.com one mainly) and I have always wondered where it came from or if it had any root in the show... But now I know, so I can laugh at all the "Know-It-All-Dubbies" that Mike likes to always make fun of.

I can't wait until next week to hear the "Manga-Review-Of-Awesomeness". It has been my only exposure to the Manga, and I love it. Almost makes me wanna go out and buy them (at least if I wasn't so broke)...

Keep up the good work!!

Here is a character that I WANT TO SEE BADLY:

Dr.Wheelo.

He does a lot of moves. I've been a fan of that guy for a while.

I added a bunch of new pictures of AF figures like SSJ3 Broly, and SSJ5 Gotenks.

Congratulations on 80 episodes!

For what it's worth, I've never heard Zenkai outside of the song.

This might have been answered to death, but...

I already know about the "story" about why Toriyama-san tacked on the Z at the end of the title when that anime started, but considering the discussion about the word ZENKAI, could it have been what the Z stood for in Dragonball Z? Or would it have made no sense at all?

Nice episode. I don't think I've ever heard ZENKAI used in that way, but when you started talking about it to refer to the near-death Saiya-jin power-up, a twinge of familiarity struck me for some reason.

BTW, Julian, at some points you sound like Stephen Hawking's voice box, and near the end you sound exactly like Devil/Kazuya Mishima in his Tekken 4 end cutscene.

Use this for referance, they really do sound exactly alike.

Ooh! Ooh! I found someone on the internet who used the word Zenkai incorrectly and I told him off, I did.

Be proud of me! Your word is spreading through the work of us fans! heehee

Well, don't just go and be a dick about it, and then say we sent you

... being helpful is nice, though!

lol! I wasn't a dick, I just questioned his use of the word. Then corrected him.

The guy/gal/thing said that they'd heard in the dub so they started using it. :S

I don't think he fully believed me anyway, he refused to accept it wasn't in the dub, so I just left it lol. It became almost a "You're wrong." "No, you're wrong." Match of wits....

Meh

Strangely enough it is an accurate use of the Japanese. The kanji used to mean recovery are zenkai suru and the proof is here:
The kanji for zenkai
Yeah, so that means that it even works in the song Zenkai Pawa. So it could mean a surprise recovery after a near death experience. The kanji used in the rebuttal are wrong.

"Dragon Ball Zenkai!"
... Not bad. That should be a game title. In fact... *adds it to the list of possible titles for the never-to-be-finished-RPG-of-awesomeness*

Meh, the thing that confuses me about the zenkaisuru bit is... it's a -suru verb, but of the built-in variety... so can zenkai in the context of "recover completely" exist outside of verb form?

I’ve just listened to this episode and I still like “Wow, I never thought about THAT before!”
I heard it on the song “Detekoi Tobikiri ZENKAI Pawâ!” or as I call it “The Gohan Song”.

It seems like the word 'zenkai' has been floating around for so long I never really thought about it. I think the first place I saw it was in an old Pojo magazine, or perhaps one of those ever-present, soul-crushingly bad fanfictions.
