Dragon Ball Super 90 Full Reaction

Full Watch Along Reaction to Dragon Ball Super Episode 90

Comments

Yes one of my favorite episodes so nostalgic to when Goku taught Gohan to become a super saiyan for the first time. <3

Asuka Yousei 妖精帝國

Dragon Ball is big enough of a property for a weekly production schedule to be more profitable for Toei. I've also heard that Japan's TV stations contract out time slots, so there's no guarantee that DBS would be able to keep the same time slot between seasons (thus potentially losing viewership). This is something that One Piece has also been dealing with under Toei's production. It's a shake because it leads to more filler and lower quality animation. If you guys ever end up checking out a seasonally produced anime like Jujutsu Kaisen, Mob Psycho, Attack on Titan, etc. I think you'll see just how big a seasonal production schedule can go. To Toei's credit though, they seem to have a better handle on One Piece lately. They've been skipping putting out a new episode after every 8 weeks or so. Has led to the animation looking phenomenal more frequently.

How come they opted not to do it that way 🤔

That has to be so frustrating for someone like Vegeta who trains his ass off to keep up with Goku and Gohan is like, 'Two days is all I need to catch up on x amount of years of training you two have done' 😝

I'm like that with the gym. There are people that love to go and can't wait, but I dread it and delay it, but whenever I do go I always feel better 🤗

Used to be his strongest technique for like one minute lol

Interesting… Before watching Super, I was as to why it seemed like the androids had grown stronger and/or was picked or something for the ToP because I was under the impression they couldn’t grow more powerful based off 18 in the Buu Saga,and really, the Androids in Trunks’ timeline. It still kind of gives me an interesting feeling. I guess they were just playing around too much to train. Kind of like a Frieza (or Gohan?). Makes me wonder how strong 16 could’ve become unless the biological aspect has to do with the continuous growth. There’s also Gero himself. He could’ve become a 17. That man is actually something else. He created beings on the level of Gods. DB scientists…

Still got some King Piccolo in him.

Not really.

Krillin’s a year older than Goku (birth-wise). But technically, Goku’s spent like 4 years in the chamber, so he’s closer to older gang’s age (awareness-wise). Then you have to account for the fact that he’s been dead for 8 years in total, so he’s practically back to where he would be (body-wise).

Gokus like a lion playing with his baby cub lol acts like he got hurt while play fighting 🤣but in reality he's holding back alot

I really like Gohan’s status as someone who doesn’t really like getting himself into battles, but really enjoys himself once he’s in one. Good way of contrasting him with his father who is a full-Saiyan, while Gohan only inherited half those “warrior race” genes

Hohoho

Yeah in between these arcs Goku managed to fight Beerus, Whis, Hit (twice) AND Zamasu. Gohan had no shot of catching up to him THIS quick

Hohoho

Of course. First we're going through Super. We did skip Bio-Broly, but that was necessary.

Jason Rogue

lol Gohan got the Vegeta’s face attitude

Jeffrey F

Tien being the parent in the room is hilarious. It's also very fitting. Everyone, with the exception of Piccolo and maybe Krillin is older than Goku. Clearly, Goku does not listen to anyone.

Sometimes you forget that Gohan was more powerful than his dad in Z in both the Cell saga where he was the first to go Super Saiyan 2 at just 11, and the Buu saga when he got his ultimate form. But in super he's been outta commission for too long and is once again the underdog haha

Hayden Morris

Honestly the bigger shock to me is when I remember Piccolo's like 27. Not much older than Gohan

JT

I dont take this fight as a total loss for Gohan, the fact that he can match SSB Goku with little training is an amazing achievement for him. Goku having to use Kaioken on top of SSB to overpower Gohan just shows how powerful Gohan has become.

Cynergy

I dont remember if you ever mentioned but are you gonna watch the two DBS movies that comes after Super finishes? Would love to see a reaction to them.

25:24 You're probably thinking about Universe 2's Supreme Kai. Honestly his dialogue during that meeting isn't really representative of what U2's gimmick is. Most likely a result of Toriyama's manuscript not giving much detail for each Kai's personality/dialogue, leaving Toei's writers to make do with most of it.

JT

This fight is one that really makes me wish Toei, Fuji TV, Shueisha, etc opted to have DBS produced seasonally. Feels like the animators couldn't draw it the way they wanted to due to limited time/budget.

JT

Fight me with everything you've got. All of it, because that's what I'm giving you! I love that line, and this fight was legendary. I sometimes forget that Goku is a grandfather and Gohan is like what, 23 here.

Jason Rogue

I remember this episode’s ending being cause for debate on whether Gohan or 17 was the strongest U7 fighter after Goku and Vegeta. 17 was said to be holding back against SSB Goku, while Gohan pushed Goku to SSB Kaioken but barely stood a chance after. Too many unknowns to say for sure imo (how much was 17 holding back, what level of Kaioken).

JT

Y’know, rewatching that scene with U10 fighters for the first time in years made me realize they probably just left one uncloaked so the animators could save time. Can’t think of any other good reason in retrospect. Perhaps Toei hadn’t been given the finished designs at the time?

JT

Universe 10 god name puns: Elephant Destroyer: Rumush (rum) Supreme Kai: Gowasu (Japanese verb for “to be”) Angel: Kusu (based on kuusuu which is aged Awamori, an alcoholic drink unique to Okinawa, Japan)

JT

7:50 That energy wave where Piccolo crosses his arms and builds up energy used to be his strongest technique, the Hyper Explosive Demon Wave. The last time he used was decades back in his first fight with Goku in OGDB.
