[SUB] Dragon Ball Super - Episode #75 - Discussion Thread! - r/dbz (2024)

Mod Note:

Since the trailer wasn't on services like Crunchyroll and Daisuki, we're seeing an influx of users complaining about the discussion of the trailer that aired after the episode. While this is fair game in our rules, I've considered the opinions of others in the discussion thread to create a separate thread for the arc trailer. Please use the thread I've linked to discuss the trailer specifically. Please follow the rules and use the spoiler syntax when it is necessary.

Summary courtesy of Herms:

Goku is out ploughing the fields by firing ki blasts, while Chi Chi, Gohan, and Goten watch from the side. Chi Chi explains that Goku was wanting to train, and since the tractor’s broke, so this way they can kill two birds with one stone. But Goku still wants someone to spar against, so that’s why Chi Chi brought Gohan. It turns out that Beerus and Whis are heading off to a Kaioshin/God of Destruction joint conference and can’t train Goku right now. Meanwhile Vegeta’s looking extra mean today, and Piccolo’s helping Dende with stuff.

Gohan tries to get Goten to spar instead, but Chi Chi is adamant Gohan handle this himself. Though at first reluctant, Gohan realizes he can do this…as the Great Saiyaman! Using his transformation watch to get into his costume, he goes into a standard Great Saiyaman speech, though Goku isn’t fooled as to Saiyaman’s true identity.

The two begin fighting, and before long both power up into their Super Saiyan forms. Gohan/Saiyaman gives Goku a pretty good fight…too good, in fact. Their battle ends up devastating the field, and Chi Chi angrily tells them to fight somewhere else.

Later on at the Son household, Chi Chi again warns Goku not to fight out in the fields again. Goku still wants a sparring partner, so Goten suggests Kuririn. While Chi Chi says Kuririn is far too busy with his policeman job for that, Goku dashes off to see him.

Meanwhile, Kuririn is involved in a police shootout with some bank robbers, and his arm gets grazed by a bullet while shielding one of his fellow officers. Goku flies in and quickly apprehends the crooks once he learns the situation. He tells Kuririn he wants to train, and while he’s worried about the wound on Kuririn’s arm, Kuririn assures him it’s nothing.

Back at Kuririn’s house, Kuririn protests that he won’t make a good training partner for Goku. He’s given up martial arts and is just a cop now. But 18 chews him out for being so weak-spirited. She can’t believe he got hurt by an ordinary bullet! Even Marron wonders if her father’s weak. Kuririn caves under all this pressure and goes to train with Goku.

The two of them soon decide that if they’re going to train together again, they might as well go do it under the Turtle Hermit, just like old times. Kuririn changes into his old Turtle School uniform, but warns Goku that he’s not actually becoming a full-fledged martial artist again. He just wants to get back in shape; in his line of work he can’t be getting hurt by bullets, after all!

At Kame House, Kuririn asks Roshi to retrain him, and presents him with a dirty mag (just like old times). When Goku doesn’t likewise offer a proper greeting, Roshi hits him. Like Kuririn, Roshi doesn’t think he’d make a good sparring partner for Goku, but decides to help Kuririn fight Goku.

Outside on the beach, Roshi has Goku wear a heavy turtle costume as he spars with Kuririn. He’s not allowed to fly or go Super Saiyan either. Regardless, Goku has no trouble dodging Kuririn’s attacks, and just as he’s about to strike Roshi stops their match. Kuririn is worn out while Goku seems fine, yet Goku cheerfully says their fight was great training.

That night while Goku sleeps at Kame House, Kuririn stands out on the beach practicing his moves. He soon stops though, and Roshi appears, saying he seems conflicted. Roshi says that while Kuririn wants to move forward he’s unsure how to go about it, and Kuririn explains how he wants to be strong for 18 and Marron.

The next morning, Roshi announces that today’s training is to run an errand for him. Now that he’s old, he needs a special herb to keep his strength up, something not sold in stores: Paradise Grass. It grows deep in a forest on an island somewhere, and the first one to bring some back gets Roshi’s prized photo collection (another dirty book, naturally). Goku and Kuririn aren’t too interested in that though, so Roshi also mentions a certain technique to instantly power up one’s ki that he could teach them

Goku and Kuririn soon arrive on the island, but once inside the forest they have no clue where to go next. Fortunately, Uranai Baba appears. Roshi sent her to act as referee, watching their competition via her crystal ball. She tells them the Paradise Grass is up ahead, and the two set off running. They soon come to a giant stone gate shaped like a demon’s open mouth. Baba tells them that inside is where the real challenge begins.

Through the gate is an even creepier part of the forest, filled with leafless trees. Kuririn is suddenly plagued by visions of the police shootout and 18 calling him weak. Multiple moons hang in the sky, and a heavy fog rolls up. There’s definitely something wrong here! Out of the fog materialize giant phantoms of Cell, Freeza, Nappa…all sorts of enemies Goku and Kuririn have faced in the past!
