Oh interesting!

Bethany and Ken

There is no escaping spooking season!

Good luck with the move! Chicago is a great city and we miss it. I'm [Bethany] a chronic over thinker so totally understand the concerns about all that could go wrong, but ya know what's sometimes kinda fun? Thinking about all that could go right! I've found if I am going to think about one extreme it is helpful to think about the extremes on the other side just to keep yourself balanced.

Bethany and Ken

That's cool, thanks for sharing this info with us!

Bethany and Ken

😂

Bethany and Ken

Ah, everything comes full circle. Thank you for reminding us of that moment!

Bethany and Ken

Yep, we're here at the Fortuneteller Baba arc! And nearly perfect timing too, had it been a month later and this arc would've been on brand! And I just wanna say that I like Yamcha's character in this episode, because it reminds me a lot of Vegeta, where he gets cocky with his opponent and then gets overwhelmed, just like Yamcha did in this episode. And as far as what's gonna happen next episode, it'll definitely be something hehe...

J Sal

Yea they did Krillin dirty smh

Jeffrey F

And thus we begin the Fortuneteller Baba arc

Dorian Cantu

If you remember during the Tournament of Power, there was the invisible fighter from one of the other universes, and Roshi had stated that Yamcha had to deal with that once before. That was a reference to this fight, from back in OG!

victoria t

I actually love this arc

victoria t

I'd go with "mildly unsettling"

Serpent King

13.51 broly reference 😂 jk

Cynergy

10:30 the moment Goku regretted bringing tagalongs on this side trip 😂

Cynergy

Was "Jesus Christ" and "Oh God" in kanji or just English? (or does that question even make sense, idrk how kanji works)

Serpent King

Next episode: not a fan. There's something really gross coming up.

Serpent King

42:35 Toriyama being a genius here by giving himself an excuse to only have to draw one fighter during the match. You know the animators at Toei were happy as well with this fight lmao.

JT

39:36 That one time Christianity briefly existed in Dragon Ball lol. Does that mean Jesus exists in their world? Was Jesus revived with the Dragon Balls-

JT

29:14 Supposedly, the dance that Fangs performs here is the “Wai Kru”, a Muay Thai ritual that’s meant to be a fighter’s way of honoring their families and displaying confidence.

JT

20:16 "Kirby doesn't wear hats either though" "I know" Imma take this as a sign that I have not been recommending enough Kirby content if ya'll believe that's true lol

JT

17:39 This pink fella is simply known as Ghost Usher/Ghost Attendant. This wouldn't be the first time you two have seen him. Ya saw him briefly back in DBS during the recruitment part of the T.o.P arc when Goku went to get Frieza from Baba's palace. The OGDB dub gives him this obnoxiously high pitched voice that I'm not really a fan of tbh. Ya'll really find him creepy? Won't lie, for a couple of folks who check out a fair share of horror stuff I feel like ya'll get freaked out pretty easily lol.

JT

15:00 Ball Joke Counter: 25

JT

13:52 Well, ain't this something. I've been low-key scared bc my move out to Chicago is imminent and there's so much that could potentially go wrong during the process. As someone who's always had a hard time adjusting to serious change, I've been on edge the past few months. It ain't the first time that Dragon Ball has managed to specifically called out to me at just the right time like this either. I swear, this franchise has some sorta spiritual connection to me lol.

JT

11:07 "Ten Zeni isn't that like 10 cents?" Not exactly. You're probably getting it from that one guy who said that 1 Zeni = 1 cent, which ain't true. There's been a couple of different statements as to how much Zeni is worth. Toriyama once said that a single Zeni is equivalent to 1 Yen. But the Jaco Galactic Patrolman spinoff manga states that one Zeni is 1.5 Yen. Of course, you'd have to make the calculations for inflation (which I'm not about to do) given that it's been quite a while since these statements were made. But my point is that the currency of Dragon Ball definitely doesn't work the same as USD (cents).

JT

I think this tournament arc is fun. Ya can tell that Toriyama was just having fun with his love for classic monster movies. Would’ve been a perfect Halloween intermission for Dragon Ball, but hey, I guess we can’t escape the early Halloween decorations here on Patreon either.

JT

Just a little heads up, the names of Fortuneteller Baba’s fighters change up quite a bit among different translations due to them either being based on the titles of classic monster films or holding religious connotations (which was a bit touchy for anime dubs at the time). For instance, “Fangs the Vampire” is named “Draculaman” in the sub and “Count Dracula” in the manga. I’ll be sticking with their dub names, but other people may refer to them differently.

JT

Fun Fact: “Baba” is the Japanese word for “old hag” or “old witch”. Trivial info from DB guides state that “Fortuneteller Baba” is just meant to be a nickname.
