This episode covered 28 pages - all of chapter 246, and almost all of chapter 247, ending one page before the end.

Quite a substantial amount of filler this time - Gohan and Kuririn have a minute-long mental sparring fight... thing that's fully animated with mental images fighting in the anime, but was only two panels of them focusing their ki in the manga.

Right before the commercial break, there's a quick filler scene where Vegeta, running away from Planet Freeza 79, snatches his scouter from the guy he left it with, saying he didn't need it anymore. This actually fills a plot hole, as in the manga, like the anime, he left it behind in the "doctor's office" saying he didn't need it, but he still has it when he arrives at Nameck in the next chapter.

Right after the commercial break, there's also a long (and rather funny) filler scene with Kame Sennin visiting Goku in the hospital.

I was hoping they'd be a little farther along, but oh well. I think the "plot-hole" with Vegeta's scouter could've been explained just by saying that Vegeta's "new" pod came with one, but oh well; leaving that little bit in doesn't bother me all too much.

I missed it. -_-

What a surprise, I missed it yet again.

How were the redrawn scenes? Good? Bad? Regular? I have my hopes up because they've been getting much better

WOW. They skipped Fake Namek. Good on them.

Bulma's hair exploding and the close-up on Vegeta's-irritated-twitchy-eyes both made me laugh.

May I say I was surprised they kept Vegeta's naked rump intact.

Also, the OP overture during the mental training part; I could totally visualize (audiolize?) the original type of music that was supposed to be there. Kai's choice of music in that scene felt out of place to me.

Other than that; good episode. I enjoy Goku's hospital stay (though I do miss his attempted-escape from the hospital that was cut out) so glad part of it was kept in.

Bulma still sounds a bit unenthusiastic in parts.

Freeza sounds good.

Will we get to hear Dende Suzumiya in the next episode? I hope so. :3

Good times for me. I liked pretty much everything. I only wish that Krillin and Gohan were able to beat up those Freeza scouts today. Guess I'll have to wait until next week for that one. Oh well!

I'm really trying not to give in and get the Japanese Blu-Rays of these!

Dende doesn't appear until the end of chapter 251, and doesn't speak for quite a while, so no.

The next episode will cover up to around the end of chapter 250, I believe, which ends with Goku getting out of the hospital.
(or wait, did Z episode 46 end with Goku's ship taking off or something?)

After Dodoria's attack, which fries Cargo, Dende does yell ''Cargo, Cargo, Cargo!''. We could get to see/hear that.

EDIT: wait, that episode is quite far away so forget what I said.

Adamant · Post by **Adamant** » Sun Aug 16, 2009 1:37 pm

Yeah, Cargo dies in chapter 255, which may even be 3 episodes from now.

Heh, Ryūsei's Freeza is sounding just a little bit like his Mayuri, Tanaka's Kuririn sounds like her Luffy...

It's not that bad of a thing, just funny! Good to see the big-bad showing up, though. I think people have been waiting for this since the first episode of Kai aired.

This episode music was really off at many scenes. I really hope they start composing some new ones for the Namek arc since I'm sick of hearing those themes.

Considering that it was in the Artificial Human arc before we really started getting new music and that it was the Boo arc by the time we saw a lot of new music in DBZ, I doubt we're gonna hear too much new stuff right now in Kai.

Maybe a little new stuff introduced here and there throughout the arc, but nothing drastic right away.

I was just looking into Kanzentai Kai reviews and I noticed since the Freeza arc began the reviews are a lot smaller. All that thing about fillers, versions comparison, etc. aren't no where to be seen. Are you guys planning on Kanzentai to do this in the future or from now on the reviews are going to be smaller?
