  • Dragon Ball Dissection December draws to a close with our look at the filler arc too big and too infamous it had to have its own episode. Garlic Jr. breaks free of the Dead Zone so hard he hops out of the movie universe straight into the series. Can Kuririn's new girlfriend distract audiences enough not to notice?

    I always thought it was funny how unintentionally they set up the Cell arc. Besides Gohan being the hero, Piccolo's connection to Kami was brought up which is a nice reminder because they eventually fuze together. The insight to Krillin's love life since the next arc he will be pining for 18.

      The reminder isn't exactly necessary considering it immediately follows Namek...where wished back Piccolo = revived Kami, it's like it's a whole plot point.

      It’s funny how despite this arc being so awful, the anime is actually better off with it there from a storytelling perspective. This and all the other Gohan-centric filler that was added from the start of the anime up until the moment Gohan steps into the spotlight does so much to make that moment actually feel both earned, expected, and to make Gohan feel like a much more natural protagonist for the series than what we were left with in the manga. That only makes what happened to Gohan after Cell feel more frustrating if you mostly consumed the anime first. Reading the manga, one can’t help but almost agree with Toriyama’s realization that the character as he’d written him wasn’t a match for the series’ main protagonist. In the anime… it was working up to that point, because anime Gohan is honestly a slightly different character.

I think was brilliant in showing what just three of the soon to be lower tear characters were capable of without Goku and Vageta the two strongest fighters of the show popping in to the rescue for once. Plus we got the watch the whole thing in one weekend in the states as kids, Toonami called it New Years Evil.

    If they wanted to make a movie based arc Turlus actually would have been an interesting call. They wouldn’t have been able to make it a sequel to the Tree of Might due to the timeline issues but having a villain with Goku’s face appear right after his supposed death would have been brutal. Just imagine the excitement everyone would feel seeing their friend return and the horror they’d feel when he started attacking.

      Perhaps, if Piccolo is indeed a demon, he just simply isn't affected by it. After all, he wasn't affected when he inhaled it, since we didn't see him avoid it outright, so it would follow he wouldn't be affected by having it injected into himself, either. But, I suppose the point of it not actually explaining of why exactly he's immune is an issue.

    Garlic Jr is Gohan's Arch Enemy. In japanese mythology, use use rice to purify demonic spirits. Garlic Jr. is a Demon from another world. He's more like Dracula or Count Yasunori from the Teito Monogatari stories that came around the time. I always liked Garlic Jr because he's more of a believable threat that Zamasu and Goku Black. He's immortal, but beatable making him easier to reuse in filler. Same goes for Turles since he's an Evil Goku. I like beatable villains cause they are fun to write about.

    • @johnnygyro2295
      @johnnygyro2295 4 года назад +8

      On the one hand, I agree that Garlic Jr and Tullece/Turles are more interesting than Zamasu. On the other hand, I didn't mind Zamasu's concept. One of the gods seeing how crazy the Dragon Ball universe is getting and wanting to press the reset button is interesting. It's just unfortunate that his plan and backstory were so convoluted.
      Also, he undid Trunks' hard earned happy ending from the Android Saga, so that gave me another reason to hate him.

      I've said it before, they should have brought back the Mafuba. They were sitting on a great callback since they were dealing with the Mazoku again. Gohan could have learned it from Kami, or maybe Kami is the one who uses it, but Garlic Jr is breaking out of it, and Gohan stops him by blowing up the Makyo star. And then when he's about to die from the strain, the former gods appear again in the sky and give life back to him because he passed their test and selflessly laid down his life for the Earth.
      Gohan is still the hero who turns the tide, Kami finally beats his old nemesis, and Garlic Jr. ends up trapped forever in some container that they can then toss away into some other dimension through some mystical room in the heavenly realm, never to be seen again.
      Still better than rehashing the Dead Zone

      To me, it seems kind of a stretch. He places his hand on his neck and some kind of... thing... happens, but that's only after he reveals that it didn't affect him. That seems akin to Gohan jumping back into the Freeza fight and revealing that Dende has healing powers... and only after he says that does Dende heal him. At some point your story's dramatic reveal is running headlong into common sense.

    I've been really excited for this video, and it's a great way to close out DBD December!
    I know this arc gets a lot of disdain, but I can't totally hate it. Seeing Kuririn, Gohan and Piccolo take center stage instead of just being saved by Goku (plus, they're three of my favorite characters) is a treat, and I do like Garlic Jr and his minions' designs quite a lot.
    That said, I do agree that it would have been really cool if a vastly different combinations of characters had been used. What if, say, Yamcha and Chaozu were the ones left that weren't affected and fought beside Gohan? I'm always down to see underused characters and combinations in the spotlight.
    Anyhoo, I hope you have a wonderful New Year and beyond, Lance! Take care!

    If there's anything that you and Geekdom few other DBZ youtubers have encouraged me to to do, is to start watching the series over in Japanese next time, to better appreciate and understand the source material. It's almost a completely different show in some regards when it comes to many dubs.
    These retrospectives generally give me a newfound appreciation for the series too, even with it's crazy faults we've witnessed. It's always important to analyze what makes a series work or not, especially for ones that are your favorite.

    I’ve never understood the hate for this arc. I’d kill for something like this in super. A viable threat. No Goku ,no Vegeta, no beerus. Just the “dragon team” trying too save the world.
    I’d also add it does add some credence to a lot of the plot points that are only lightly touched on. Take this on and when was the last time Kami did something before the cell arc ? Take this out and Gohan really really doesn’t do anything till the fight with cell. You can also say for Krillin it makes more sense after this arc it make sense Krillin would fall for the next character that’s a girl after getting his heart broken (Kinda like what you said).

    Sorry for the Double Post, my theory is that the TV staff took advantage of the TV Runtime to tell a Movie Length Story Line without budget or time constraints. It's possible the TV staff can tell a story about Cooler, Turles, Slug, and Garlic Jr because they have an actual personality. Androids 13-15 are just prototypes who can be included to interact with 16-18. 13 himself said that he was activated when the heroes killed Gero, making him an antagonist they created.

You're the Mick Foley of RUclips insofar as you're far too kind and genuine an individual for this platform full of hateful comments and rude people. I really hope you continue to have a pleasant time on here as you continue DBD into DragonBall GT.
    I've been listening to you for years but something about the ending of this episode in particular really moved me to say something. Hopefully you see it sometime even if you don't acknowledge it. I hope you know that you're doing something so special with this channel that offers something we can't get from Blackenfist, Laughingstock Media, or even Geekdom. Not that those channels and their content are any better or worse - rather, you are so surgically precise with your editing, writing, etc in a way that other channels aren't. I'm tempted to say that this series is the magnum opus of all DragonBall analysis and I say that without exaggeration. Your points and criticisms are ones that I find myself using when discussing the tropes of the series and common complaints with friends.
    I'm sure that you have since come to terms with the loss of your mother but I couldn't help but write out everything I've been thinking all these years after hearing about it in the video, even at the risk of sounding uncouth.

    Sadly (since they never provided a good explination for it), we can assume Piccolo wasn't effected by the demon mind-control mist for the same reason other interesting powers stop working in Dragon Ball: He was "too strong" for it. It's the same reason Nappa wasn't effected by Chiaotzu's mind powers, Vegito was still able to fight after being turned into a candy, Goku and Jiren could break through Hit's time powers etc.
