To be fair, Goku Vegeta Tien and Piccolo are the only ones who can be full time at this point. Everyone else has lives. He can still be a martial artist without devoting his entire life to it. I'm not jumping the gun on these previews though. I don't think they'll completely disregard the filler. People needed to stop going crazy over previews .
Exactly this fanbase loves to jump the gun over everything at first glance we need to see the next episode and how he performs against gohan next week to see he stands in power.

So am I. I'm expecting the manga to diminish it pretty greatly , but I don't really care because the anime has been the main product to me for a long time.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

He did, he literally said "Goku, I want to become strong like you, I'll become a martial artist again, for me... no.. for Marron I suppose" unless he thinks jackshit about what he said back then and didnt care for Marron anymore to look cool infront of his kid.
I actually watched that episode a couple of times and he never said he become a martial artist again . He shaved his head and offered to spar with Goku but thats it. He even said at the beginning I'm not becoming a martial artist again, but I do want to get stronger for my kid and my wife.

I'm not saying they will do that here buuuuuuut they are pretty inconsistent when it comes to character writing. I wouldn't be shocked if they forgot.

They've never been that inconsistent. Especially when it comes to things less than 10 episodes ago. People really overestimate the inconsistency of super.

Rewatch it again, around the time Goku and Krillin were flying back to Roshi's place, he literally said "Ore, mata budokan yaruyo" "I'll do martial arts again"

That's what he said at the BEGINNING. At the end he said he was becoming a martial artist again. 'Twas supposed to be development.

I'm sure they'll mention something about Episode 76. But if they don't... well... Good job Toei.

On the other hand, I like that Gohan will spar with him.

Goku might remind Krillin whatever happened to his promise of becoming a martial artist again but Krillin would reply that he doesnt any training partner and entering martial arts tournaments at this point would be useless to him

It's interesting. They could've easily made Goku be the one to fight him. I wonder how the fight will go.

See even Gohan is more relevant than Vegeta in this arc.

Father/son dynamic was really missed in Super.

Do we really need another whole episode on Krillin ? seriously we had 2 episodes dedicated to him already that showed how motivated he was to get stronger again,Goku should just tell him about the tounranment and he should say yes end of story.

All I am thinking is if Vegeta is the only one recruited in episode 83 then why is Goku recruiting Krillin and 18 before Piccolo.

Gohan seems to be set up as the side fighter with goku instead of vegeta this arc..

That is true. Goku did reference pretty much what happened to Kuririn in episode 75. Wouldn't that mean those two episodes did happen?

I don't see why not. These build-up episodes are a good thing.
