“Hit’s coming”

Bethany and Ken

Makes more sense 🙂

Bethany and Ken

Don't think it was one of the worst. Would still probably put that Roshi over the top episode as the most painful to watch thus far in our opinion 🤗

Bethany and Ken

Thanks for letting us know! It was an easy fix thankfully 🙂

Bethany and Ken

Good point. There is a way to have it be satirical and farcical without being...annoying for lack of a better word 🤗

Bethany and Ken

Ah okay, that makes more sense 🙂

Bethany and Ken

True, the Cha-Cha-Cha was A LOT

Universe 2 is real annoying! That being said Ribrianne and her girls are good fighters, but too much like you guys said. And don't worry, Hit's coming soon!

Cynergy

My guess is that U2 brings up a lot of PTSD of his time in HFIL so he wants as little do with them as possible 😂

Cynergy

This episode never fails to make me laugh, as much as I love the magical girl genre, it is a bit ridiculous that anyone would allow someone to transform in a middle of a fight. Personally I don’t mind Vikal and Kakunsa, Ribrianne tends to be OTP.

All the homies hate universe 2 😂

Mark

we almost there cant wait i hope they upload part 1 and 2 back to back

Ash

So like you’ve seen, this episode is often considered “padding.” Don’t blame them since this episode doesn’t do much all things considered. But I will say the next two episodes you guys will see next week are real highlights of the tournament. We even see something we haven’t seen in a long time. Can’t wait!

They accidentally uploaded the full reaction for 102 in their YT edit Patreon tier. They don't include the video with full reactions to avoid copyright issues.

Kyrie Irving

Weres the video I don’t see shit

Moises Martinez

I think vegeta was just cringing at ribrianne lol

Moises Martinez

Filler episode

Hayden Morris

"Toxic positivity." Good way to put it. A lot of the community regards this as one of the worst episodes of DBS, not sure why the writers pushed so hard for the whole universe 2 stuff... not very dragonball like. So you're not alone for cringing at this one lol

LilFace18

Uh guys I think you uploaded a Full reaction to your YouTube edit collection

JT

23:40 Looks like you guys fall into the camp of fans not liking most of the Pride Troopers and Universe 2, and I can't say I blame you. While them being "much" about love and justice is meant to be the point as parodical characters of Magical Girl/Super Sentai media, I still think that Toei could've made them more palatable by looking at why characters like the Ginyus work. The Ginyu Force still pokes fun at the Super Sentai genre while not making that punchline their entire personality, and on top of that they turn out to be a genuine threat to our cast (unlike most of U2 and U11). This is a point that relates to one of my biggest problems with this arc, but it's better to discuss it near the end of the tournament.

JT

Yeah ngl I skipped past a lot of the episode even with the reaction. Thought I'd be able to stomach it better since I'd seen it already, but it honestly had the opposite effect.

Austin Collier

I remember when this first aired i wanted Freeza to torture Ribrianne and her crew so bad 😂

Jason Rogue

Oh yeah, Getes didn't punch Ribrianne because he thought she was gross. Something made him want to dodge her entire being, rather than connect with a punch. I will say, I don't think anything has ever disgusted Vegeta, so that's why he didn't know what he was feeling.

JT

26:20 Disgust. The sub makes it a little more obvious by having him say "It was so gross I instinctively dodged." It's part of the joke about U2 transformations making them ugly instead of more graceful like in real Magical Girl series.

JT

5:40 Nah 17 funny af for this.

JT

Universe 2 God Name Puns o Cleopatra-like Destroyer: Heles (a German light beer) o Supreme Kai: Pell (a possible play on the Slavic god Perun) o Angel: Sour (like Sour cocktail)

JT

Episode Elimination Name Puns o U10’s Pretty Boy: Dyrasem (play on Praseodymium) o U2’s Succubus: Bikal (anagram of kalbi, a Korean style of ribs. U2 name pun family revolves around meats) o U2’s Masked Cat-Like Lady: Sanka/Kakunsa (anagram of “sankaku”, a reference to tri-tip steak) Fighters Remaining: 48/80

JT

I’d also wager that Universe’s 2 exaggerated focus on love could’ve been Toei’s way of trying to recreate Toriyama’s distaste of anything related to love or romance. In Dr. Slump, Toriyama mentioned that writing about such things gives him hives and that he shuts his eyes whenever movies start getting sappy. This was a constant matter conflict between him and his editor Torishima, who was responsible for pushing Toriyama to include more relationships (even pushing for Goku and Bulma to get together in OGDB). Note: Toei's writers could very well just feel the same way, and everything above could be unrelated. Just my speculation.

JT

So yeah, a lot of people loathe this episode. You can tell that Toei was really trying to capture the sense of lame/ironic humor Toriyama had in his earlier works. The jokes here don’t land for those who don’t have the familiarity with Magical Girl/Super Sentai tropes that’s needed to see the irony. Although, I will say that even I think Toei dragged the bit on a little too long. Imo it would’ve been funnier if 17’s blast just knocked the U2 fighters out, got the same scolding from them and Toppo, and then continued the tournament from there.

Jason Rogue

WOOP WOOP. Next episode is another great 17 episode and made him possibly my 3rd favorite character in the entire series. Roasie for me is the most annoying of the 3, Kakunsa is my favorite and Ribrianne is fine. Just can't stand the CHA-CHA-CHA-CHA-CHA for like 3 minutes straight does damage to my ears.
