I really liked the bit with Saonel, Pirina and Caulifla as it made Saonel and Pirina feel apart of the group.

Onr day Toriyama will wake and realise that Namekians means Piccolo and there logically must be some legend avout the Namekians somewhere in that book.
Toriyama remembered the Namekian Book of Legends, which is a surprise to me.

Seeing the U6 group interact like that kinda makes me want to see them get their own show.
Universe 6 and Universe 11 could have their own spinoffs. Toei could even have Universe 2 be the their next Magical Girl anime.
I would love all of those. I feel like this episode really showed that U2 can be great when written well.
Some know me as GigglesMcFiggles.

U2 could be way better if they had toned down the love.I kinda liked out how they they went.A lot of people were being tsundere about U2 erasure.
@Namekiansaiyan
Honestly,I was disappointed by namekians.It's good that they haven't mastered their power but I want to focus on their mystical abilities in the future.The namekian book could have some have some secret namekian skills or transformation which has more than just power.I kinda liked kami and nails appearance.
@Xeogran
You were right about shantsa.

The problem with the Namekians was that is was rushed. Everyone can see the potential with Saonel and Pirina.

Frost as a Team Rocket villain would be funny.

Hit role should be like Ikki from Saint Seiya imo, showing up out nowhere to save the main cast and looking cool in the process, then leaves.

Namekians need to show more personality though, and a big arc centered on U6 crazy adventures could do that. The scene with Caulifla was a step in the right direction. We already know the Namekians are strong and with untapped potential.

So does Shantsa's ability have the potential for some "you killed me" type drama? Because that would be the best thing ever.

I wonder if 4 will actually go out next episode. There's only three left and they're all getting focus.

I'll be honest I never cared much for shantsa but after seeing his ability in action in the preview I'm more excited for him. He'll be the best character of this arc if he brings back some of the more irreverent characters and have them do something. Still salty that certain characters in this arc that had great designs ended up doing absolutely nothing. Sadly though I can't see him lasting for more than an episode but ya never know maybe he'll be super strong.

I can't see it happening. Shantsa's fight (still can't believe it's actually happening :lol: ) will probably continue to 120, as the episode is about bugs.

I also doubt they will manage to both identify and knock off all of them. They have many tricks and I feel like 20 minutes isn't enough.

The Namekians were rushed but you could sort of tell what they are like. They are not that exactly serious like they seemed at first or that arrogant and get on well with others. I hope that when they are revived they have a little scene with Piccolo before they leave. Caulifla and Cabba will always be the 2 that do most of the speaking so they other will be limited and even Hit said nothing after episode 111.

I still think the next arc will be about Universes 13-18.

I feel like I have higher hopes for his character than I should have, but I expect cool stuff from him since he made it this far.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

They can be part of the Main Cast, Never said that they will be leading the cast, the ones that will lead them would obviously be Caulifla and Cabba.

I have the feeling Jiren will win the ToP.

I never meant them leading the cast I was basically saying don't expect them talking as much like some of the others do.

Jiren needs to win just so that Ultra Instict will still need improving to beat an opponent like Jiren.

I remember one of the spoilers mentioning Freeza being involved this episode and yet he only showed up very briefly. I'm just wondering was it a wonky translation or was the translation right and the spoiler just misleading?

More than just misleading, that spoiler was plain wrong. That's happened a couple of times this arc.

Now that I think about it your right there have been a few spoilers that were wrong. Don't understand why they do that honestly just seems odd to me.

Gohan dominating the entire fight without getting cocky was a nice change, loved it!
Gohan saving piccolo was even better and the best part of this whole ordeal is piccolo understanding his warrior talks don't always work practically, good on you piccolo and Gohan, this is acceptable team work

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.
