![]() ![]() I kind of hope it isn’t quite that on the nose. I’m suddenly getting preemptive flashbacks of the Resurrection F movie. Inevitably, it’s going to to turn into another example of the waiting for Goku (and Vegeta) show. While it’s only enough to make him sent a more elite task force, when they inevitably get beaten down, his attention will most certainly be on the planet. His mercy turns into something he’ll regret, as before he can rectify his mistake, the trio manage to send a transmission to their boss and put Earth on Moro’s radar. I get that the story needs to get Moro to Earth at some point, but Piccolo should be smarter than this. ![]() While the Piccolo of old would not hesitate to wipe these three troublemakers from existence, the present day Namekian makes a pretty short sighted decision to let them go. However, the softening of Piccolo’s spirit over the years seems to become a detriment for the first time. It’s a cool scene that makes good use of Piccolo’s unique powers. On Earth, the trio from the very beginning of the arc are getting knocked around by said Namekian. The executive decision being to draft even more recruits from Earth, starting with Piccolo. Meanwhile, Goku and Meerus go off on their own, leaving the Galactic Patrol even more understaffed than before. I can only imagine the manifestations of Vegeta’s own powers will be something unique rather than him playing the latest game of catch up I’ve ever seen. Tien’s multi-form technique and Piccolo becoming giant during older World Martial Arts tournaments. Rather, their powers come from a more refined form of Ki control, and through improving his own, Vegeta can discover stranger and less conventional powers.Īm I the only one who sees this as a step backward? Aside from instant transmission, many of the techniques that come about as a result of this control have been knocking around since the days of original Dragon Ball. Upon meeting the elder of the planet, he reveals to Vegeta that they have no techniques to impart on Vegeta. It’s funny that, despite his self admitted tendency to be a lazy artist, he only made his designs more basic when he wasn’t drawing them anymore. ![]() You look at the many different aliens throughout the Freeza Saga of Z and compare them to the likes of these aliens, Jaco and even Jiren. These new, very plain looking little aliens really remind me how a lot of Toriyama’s desgins have simplified over the years. We see Vegeta arrive at the planet Yardrat and all the aliens we recognise from Goku’s flashback all those years ago are mere background dressing, replaced with Yardratians of a different sort. With our heroes all split up, this chapter takes a three pronged approach to what’s going on. It’s not just Meerus though, within this chapter sees further development of our main cast in the build up to the final confrontation with Moro which now seems to be coming over the distant horizon. With this chapter, my various suspicions of him are starting to take form. Hopefully, future Dragon Ball media will remember this little trick of Goku's and make Instant Transmission a key part of his Ultra Instinct fighting style.Throughout this whole arc, Meerus has been a point of contention for me. This technique might even be useful for taking on Destroyer gods, should that ever become necessary, allowing Goku to dodge their destruction energy with pinpoint precision. Constant movement is a major benefit in a fight, and if that constant movement is instantaneous teleportation, then all the better. When it comes to battling godly opponents, it seems like Instant Transmission and Ultra Instinct is one combo that just can't go wrong. Goku ultimately wins the fight, stopping short of delivering a final blast that would've surely taken the goddess out. Aeos has to depend on her ability to see the future in order to counter this, which left her otherwise unable to attack, and Goku was still able to fool her by moving sufficiently fast. One might argue that the hand gesture needed for Instant Transmission takes him out of a fighting stance, but with Ultra Instinct's reflexes, that disadvantage is easily mitigated. Instant Transmission has always been a somewhat underutilized trick in Goku's arsenal, even though it's one of his favorites. ![]()
