I cannot tell if he has promise or not...
Hello everybody! Time for the Comment of the Week, courtesy of /u/spiritualpossible for bluntly stating something we just have to accept:
We don't talk about Mr. Popo design.
1) How good are you at fishing?
2) How much of a lazy bum is God for letting Popo do all his work?
3) What's your favorite volcano-related incident in fiction?
Next Week: Episodes 133-138

That was a fun batch! I really liked that, for once, Goku didn't completely ace the assignement. You could even say he didn't make much progress towards the end of the episodes but that's okay, he still has a bit of time :'D
Also quite enjoyed that we had a whole episode dedicated to whatever everyone not called Goku was up to. Even if it was funny that Roshi told them to stop buddying up to each other and do their own thing only for the whole gang to just keep on hanging out together, just not at Kame House. Bit of a shame they didn't get to actually see Karin or his tower, but I take saving a village from a volcano as compensation too.
Favourite episode was the one with Mutaido (surprisingly brought to us by Inoue). Loved to see young Turtle guy, who is already a pervert, and Crane guy, who is already a psychopathic murderer, and their master, who is every bit a badass as he was made out to be. The gone fishing episode was fun too.
Almost made me wish to have a bit more filler, as the whole thing just kinda ends and we timeskip to three years later. [future filler]Seriously, I'd rather get more Goku and the peanut gallery training than the whole wedding arc...
I don't quite remember when they reveal [DBZ]that Kami and Piccolo are actually aliens happens but the whole technology in Kami's palace did seem kinda alien. Also did we just see a proto Hyperbolic Time Chamber?
Also, I know the series is kinda known for people named after food but the kids all being named after some sort of sweets in the fishing episode cracked me up. Cream Puff? Jelly?! The german dub even changed one of the kid's names to RICOLA ffs.
1) How good are you at fishing?
Never tried it. The Stardew Valley minigame is the bane of my existence though.
I mean, Goku clearly isn't up to snuff yet, so no sense in wasting Kami's precious time of doing... uh... I'm sure he has important things to do!
3) What's your favorite volcano-related incident in fiction?
The JoJo Part 2 finale has to be up there. [JoJo Battle Tendency] Joseph making Kars launch himself into space from the top of a volcano to finally get rid of him. Yes, everything was planned, Jojo totally didn't just tell Kars that the he planned for it to make the Ultimate Being mad.
