Honestly the whole werewolf transformation scene made me think back to toriyama describing the oozaro form as somewhat the same. So what if this episode is hinting at not the saiyans being from the demon world, but the oozaro form is a magical demon realm curse put onto the saiyans? (That's my fan theory now lol)
1:05:13 THANK YOU AJAY FOR TALKING ABOUT THIS. I swear to god I saw so many people on twitter hating on the design going "Lol why does he look like a saibaiman" and I'm like "MAN DID YOU WATCH THE EPISODE??????"
Two things jumped out at me as having me question the quality of this episode's script 1. When the Dragon Ball was stolen, having Panzy with a "tracker" on the Dragon Ball seemed unnecessary. I wish they had had it so they don't get the Dragon Ball back until after meetup up with Bulma where she gives him the Dragon Radar. It would have added purpose to that scene other than them leaving again right away. 2. Speaking of that scene, when the argument was that their supplies took too much space, I was expecting Bulma pulling out her capsules and putting the supplies in there. It would have also given a moment for the Demon Realm residents to go "ooo, magic" before Bulma retorts with "no, it's more like 'ooo science'".
We don't know if the Demonic Dragon Balls have the same radiation as the Earth or Super ones. Plus she would need somewhere to make the radar and have the tech for it, and I really doubt there's any in the Demon Realm.
1. If she hadn't tracked it the rest of the episode would have played out different. No Glorio and Goku vs. Bandits, which was a fun fight to help the duo "bond". It also gave Panzy something notable to contribute to the encounter, justifying her spot on the team. 2. I agree that would have been sick, and maybe it was an oversight for Bulma not to bring ANY capsules. However, we don't yet know if the team being split again will serve more of a narrative purpose in the next episode. Maybe the pay off will be worth it, but we'll see.
Majin Kuu definitely won't be the main villain. I predict that Arinsu will make another Majin with the remaining Saibaman seed, and the two Majins will fuse and lose control after getting that third eye thing.
We never see the Dragon Ball outside of bag again after Goku falls asleep. Wonder if someone stole and switched it out with a big fruit or something and they won't notice until later.
I definitely think that Shin's ship on the lookout is a plot device for a second story or season, not because someone else is meant to come to the Demon Realm to save them.
1:13:00 I am brazilian and Majin Kuu in Portuguese means Majin Asshole, not quite the same writing but the exact same pronunciation, so it's weird hearing that, to say the least.
Personally, I’m not a huge fan of Majin Kuu’s design. That said Ajay pointed out my issue, the purple face seems really out of place when there’s no other purple on the design. If I was an artist I would try to fix it, but I don’t think it needs much
You guys missed a huge detail on A team meeting up with B team. B team goes to fight gomah like goku said, they beat him, kuu shows up, they lose, goku makes save, classic dbz sequencing here
I hate to say it but when watching the ep I thought of Mark when Goku didn’t want to take a bath Edit: Wasn’t the entire point of them getting the Dragon Balls just in case something happened to Dende I remember Glorio tricking Goku into not using the Dragon Balls immediately to make himself an Adult again and instead keep them in case Dende died (I think this was in ep 4 whichever one had them buying the bugs)
I think the biggest problem Kuu has is color balance. That's a lot of green. Now you could say the same about Cell, but he also has oranges, blacks, blues, etc. His spots do a lot of work. It's not bad, just a bit boring to be honest.
I think a lot of disappointment from Majin Kuu came from the expectation that the new Buu would look like an actual Buu (like a Majin race from Dragon Ball Online/Xenoverse, minus the fat) instead of what happens when you type “Dragon Ball villain” in an AI image generator. Personally I’m indifferent to Kuu’s design. It’s far from my top 10 most favorite design, but I don’t exactly hate it either. I just hope he’s utilized well with the storytelling.
Mark = Lavender (the poison is his stink) Tyson = Basil (as the horny one, he should be the coolest one too) Ajay = Bergamo (he took on ignorance about animation and leveled up so much despite analyzing a struggling anime)
I'm a Toriyama fanboy and I always defend a lot of his lazy or plain designs, but even I'm not too fond of Majin Kuu's design. I'm willing to give it a chance if he transforms into a cooler-looking final form, but for now, it deflated my hype from episode 8.
But isn't Kuu just an experiment? Marba still has a Saibaman Sprout and Arinsu said she didn't want to go all out in case Marva was doing shit again. So I think Kuu is more like a midboss to the next majin that'll be planted deeper in the Essence.
My issue with the name "Majin Kuu" comes from a foreign language perspective. In Brazilian Portuguese, the word "cú" is pronounced exactly the same. It means "butthole". Saying "Majin Butthole" to friends and family is not as funny as it sounds.
Totally agree with Ajay on the point that this show is wasting too much time. I have watched shows that cover more story in LITERALLY 25% of the time or less than this series. We are almost halfway done, and literally almost nothing has actually happened. And I don't think I'm being hyperbolic when I say that. I know some might find this too reductive, but really ask yourself, what has actually happened in this show of substance? We showed up the demon world, wondered around for a bit, Goku beat up a couple thugs, we crashed our ship a couple times, and then Goku beat the Tamagami. Yes obviously I'm leaving some minor plot points out, but that really is the bulk of what's actually meaningfully occurred in several hours of runtime. And it's not like this is one of those shows that foresakes plot so it can dedicate all its run time to deep character studies or interpersonal drama, because we have gotten even less of that in this show. I just get the overwhelming feeling every week, no matter how much I do or don't enjoy that week's specific episode in isolation, that on the macro level, this is all just a bit of a waste. This is obviously anecdotal, but it's just a little supporting piece of evidence that the pacing isn't working for many fans. Basically my entire friend group, all of which are at least somewhat diehard DB fans, have dropped this show. I am literally the only one left. Granted, I'm the only one that's "hardcore" enough to listen to a 3 hour podcast about it each week, but still. Again, anecdotal, but I think this sort of situation is emblematic of the issue.
theres a new action cartoon that just dropped on Netflix called Jentry Chau vs the Underworld, and its only 13 episodes long, and it tells a complete story in those 13 episodes, like it fleshes out about 15 different characters and tells massive multiple plots in those 13 episodes. Daima just feels like a huge time waster. i just remember Daima was only supposed to be a small side series exclusive to the internet.... maybe it shoulda stayed that way?????
Wow, if you ignore everything that has happened it seems like nothing has happened! Crazy! You and your friends don't sound like DB fans imma be honest
@@jarlbalgruuf2415 Ah yes, the tried and true "if you don't like this thing, you must not be a real fan". Totally not a brain dead take. Definitely sound logic right there.
@@MrFatLipx the literal definition of a fan is someone who likes something so it is in fact an objectively factual correct take but you're free to continue being wrong and immature about it. Sarcasm does you no favors when you've already outed yourself as media illiterate lol
Kuu’s design IS bad, it’s worse than kid buu AND the saibaman while naturally inviting the comparison Do it better or do something else imo. The worst thing is recycling old ideas poorly
Yeah I really, really don't like majin kuus design. Just looks fucking ugly whether it's lore accurate or not imo. With it been called majin kuu not even a fan of the name tbh. Each to their own though, hopefully if there's different forms, and/or a fusion etc it'll look better.
can we all agree the best parts of these are when they talk about how Mark doesn't shower? XD
What if Daima is trying to explain why Goku seemingly has a mental character regression in Super? Cause he got turned into a kid here
Now THIS is galaxy brain lol I love this
I would ALMOST forgive all of supers trangressions.
That's what I thought some time ago too dude
Wow, this is my head canon now
😮😮
I think it’s pretty cool that Dr. Arinsu floats on a giant hookah 🤣
Instantly made me like her more lol

@@Amplifymagic
They look like beetles
I know right, it’s a really interesting fusion of Buu and a Saibaman!
@@fruit3193when did Buu have fish lips
@@jollyd.joestar3937 Sure. Though fish lips seem to be a common enough trait for Majins. Popo, Hybis, and Gomah all have them.
1:12:46 thanks guys for the “accidental” shoutout! 😂 and I appreciate you answering my question. Love the show guys, keep up the good work 🤘

Kuu gives me Nova Shenron vibes.
“I am Sharon done with this podcast” actually has me dying
We never see the Dragon Ball outside of bag again after Goku falls asleep. Wonder if someone stole and switched it out with a big fruit or something and they won't notice until later.
For the love of God no😂we already meandered enough, lets get to the 2nd demon realm already
There is another panel of Goku taking a bath.
When he was traveling to Namek he took a bath after his training.
We also see him brushing his teeth😂
55:48 Tyson was spot on 👌🏼
I definitely think that Shin's ship on the lookout is a plot device for a second story or season, not because someone else is meant to come to the Demon Realm to save them.
I agree with Mark, I was so pissed when the A team just left the B team. I want to see them together!! That said, I did really enjoy this episode.
Idk eventually they will be together so it doesnt matter but the complete disregard for vegeta is honestly hilarious.
Goku bathes on his way to namek. In the manga. Yes.
1:13:00 I am brazilian and Majin Kuu in Portuguese means Majin Asshole, not quite the same writing but the exact same pronunciation, so it's weird hearing that, to say the least.
É meu chapa, é até difícil explicar pro gringo porque acho que nenhuma outra língua tem uma palavra tão forte pra descrever o furico de alguém.
@@netomoreira3525 to be fair, kuu DOES look like one
Okay, now i like it
Who ready for majin kuu vs tamagati number 1, gonna be hype
Personally, I’m not a huge fan of Majin Kuu’s design. That said Ajay pointed out my issue, the purple face seems really out of place when there’s no other purple on the design. If I was an artist I would try to fix it, but I don’t think it needs much
Mark reviewed all of Naruto, how could he have forgotten the Sharingan's name?
yea I'm bugging
this episode is way better than last episode. in last episode, nothing happened.
You guys missed a huge detail on A team meeting up with B team. B team goes to fight gomah like goku said, they beat him, kuu shows up, they lose, goku makes save, classic dbz sequencing here
can we please return to the goku bathing discussion, thank you.
That 10 sec reunion.
It’s funny AJ put wings on him because I was getting strong tambourine vibes when I first saw him
The design had me think more of Nova/Ice Shenron. But I can see Tambourine as well.
I called in the live chat last week that it was gonna be Bulma's group with plane trouble as soon as they got to the Demon Realm. I was right.
Good podcast!
Mark really needs to learn how to take a joke 😅
I was expecting Bulma to pull out some capsules and pack away all the stuff. Then that would have been her magic that would amaze Pansy.
I don't get how people compare this to GT despite the fact that this show is so much more. Other than superficial comparisons there's not much.
I hate to say it but when watching the ep I thought of Mark when Goku didn’t want to take a bath
Edit: Wasn’t the entire point of them getting the Dragon Balls just in case something happened to Dende I remember Glorio tricking Goku into not using the Dragon Balls immediately to make himself an Adult again and instead keep them in case Dende died (I think this was in ep 4 whichever one had them buying the bugs)

41:12 sharingan jump scare
on Snake Way goku took a hot spring bath, didnt he? when the snake lady was trying to trap him?
This should be fun.
am I bugging ? Did mark not review all of Naruto???
layout still says episode 7 for the first lil bit

THE TRIO DE DANGERS IS BACK!
Mark = Lavender (the poison is his stink)
Tyson = Basil (as the horny one, he should be the coolest one too)
Ajay = Bergamo (he took on ignorance about animation and leveled up so much despite analyzing a struggling anime)
Why is nobody saying Kuu likes Cui? Cui with a golden Frieza hoody on.
Wait, wasn't the name thieves? Like in plural?
It actually is as you say.
It actually is as you say.
ドロボウ is technically ambiguous. It could be either singular or plural. Though yes, the official translated title does indeed have it in plural.
@@thelordstarfishPlus makes sense since we have two thieves for the Dragon Ball and then the thieves for Vegeta's ship.
I'm a Toriyama fanboy and I always defend a lot of his lazy or plain designs, but even I'm not too fond of Majin Kuu's design.
I'm willing to give it a chance if he transforms into a cooler-looking final form, but for now, it deflated my hype from episode 8.

Yeah even if it was just green buu recolour i wouldve been less dissapointed.
To be fair I don't see why people expected something very complicated when the last episode tells you it's a Saibaman + Buu, that's it.
Both Saibaimen and Buu look a million times better
@@Amplifymagic I think its also a problem that Kuu has the same color scheme as Golden Freeza, ans thar cheapens them both
Tyson and aj probably wash shampoo and condition two times a day completley ruining their natural musk
Damn they really cut an hour and a half off this stream.
@niallharrington3636 I don't actually care.
My issue with the name "Majin Kuu" comes from a foreign language perspective. In Brazilian Portuguese, the word "cú" is pronounced exactly the same. It means "butthole".
