This is going to be a double special chapter, according to the news post.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

Oh, alright. I wonder why this one needs to be so long; it doesn't seem like much has happened yet.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger.

I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

The same reason why specials exist... Because otherwise, there wouldn't be enough pages of the main chapters to keep the normal schedule.

I actually like this special. Despite the length it's actually pretty well paced and covers an alternate course of events that's more involved than the villain simply winning a fight.

Working together, I think it's conceivable Gohan and Krillin could kill a transformed Zarbon. Vegeta getting his ass kicked could be attributed to his hubris as much as any power difference. But that being said, Nail is probably going to show up and make it moot. But the Ginyu Force is going to be the end of our heroes, for sure. They'll probably beat Guldo, though. I don't remember him being in the group at the tournament.

~1,770 and 14,000 vs ~30,000. Yeah, no freaking way they'd have a chance, not in a series where a mere x1.5 difference renders all teamwork meaningless. How are Krillin's blasts even hurting Zarbon here?

He probably isn't hurt but they hit him in the face so he is probably quite upset.

Right, I forgot Krillin didn't get his power up. Well that's just silly that they'd run into a fight without it.

But it wouldn't make a difference even if he had it. Neither of them would possess even half of Zarbon's strength. He'd still beat them both in one hit.

Well theres still the Kienzan. Would be great to throw right with that distraction scatter shot. Or since Zarbon is probably going to give him the Imagonnakillya angry look he could use Taiyoken and then Kienzan.

I do find it weird that the same Kuririn who couldn't phase Nappa with that attack is making Zarbon at least flinch. Oh well, he's dead anyway most likely.

Krillin and Gohan trained for several months on the way to Namek.
I play baseball and work in LA.

This attack looks a bit different from what he used against Nappa.

The one against Nappa was huge and slow. You could see it coming a mile away.

This one looks like it split up at the very last second. Almost a Gotenks style attack.

Hm, while it is nice that they're actually having the characters use their heads, the attack looks a bit underwhelming. Maybe having Zarbon surrounded by smoke would have had it look a tad more effective.

The attack on Nappa and Vegeta was only a fraction of the total attack. The rest of the attack went after the Saibamen. Zarbon in here is hit by the total power of the attack by surprise (including in the face).

What does Gohan think he's doing? "WAARGH CHAREG HEADFIRST" didn't work last time, what makes him think it's going to work this time?
