Dragon Ball Z Kai #141 Full Reaction

Full Watch Along Reaction for Dragon Ball Z Kai #141

Comments

This is probably something you are not going to pick up if you don't watch the original, and even then I think most people who started with Z instead of OG Dragon Ball don't know this, but something similar happened to mr Piccolo back then. Namekians are pacifist by nature and do not have a drive for evil, but when the original namekian (who will later become Kami) saw the evil of mankind, he got corrupted and had to expel that evil from his body to become pure again (so he could become a worthy guardian of Earth/God/Kami). By expelling that evil, Kami created Piccolo Daimao. Piccolo Daimao, just like Grey Buu here, was Kami's evil half, and he tried to take over the world. He was defeated by kid Goku, but before he died, Piccolo Daimao created Mr Piccolo, which is why Mr Piccolo and Kami's lives were linked together. Despite all that, Mr. Piccolo became good in spite of being created from a source of evil, and he did so because of his love for Gohan, but the evil of mankind has once again created their worst enemy. Totally not mark's review on the Buu saga does point out how Gohan is a common throughline here, because Gohan witnessed evil and never got corrupted by it (He almost succumbed to his darkest impulses against Cell, and his mistake did cost him Goku's life), and now we have Buu going through something similar, but is more vulnerable here.

Bethany's summary ending on this episode was absolutely amazing, she speaks so well! loving hear them go off one another, they compliment each other's point of views.

totally agree the orange box for this was perfect imo even though kai has more accurate dialogue i still appreciate the OG more and kai's music kinda sucks lol

This part of the saga is always my top part. The Evil of man was a much better title for this episode in the original and i believe the dialouge is way better but this still captures the emotional journey Buu goes through in a matter of 20 minutes. Befriends Satan and Dog only to have them both taken away from him causing a experience of loss which produces the dormant evil side of him to manifest. ITs such a brilliant way to introduce a new possible threat and just in general throws everyone for a loop.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse.... .....it gets worse.

In the original english dub of DBZ, this episode was titled "The Evil of Man", and that title just really works well.

Hyped AF for the next episode, it's dope.

I love what Buu's VA does when he's telling Mr. Satan to run. If ya know, then ya know. Also Mr. Satan is genuinely one of the best characters thanks to this arc.
