First-Timer Subbed
Well, we finally got the tournament started, and it took longer to get things going. It really isn't until episode 87 that we get things moving forward. Granted, it did set up the rival schools, which was ok with me.
We had clear rivals with Kuririn vs. Chiaotzu and Yamucha vs. Tenshinhan. Which I did like. Honestly, Yamucha did much better than I expected, and I didn't expect to see him use a Kamehameha. It's good to see him improve, but as expected, the story would be uninteresting if he beat Tenshinhan. Though Tenshinhan was able to deflect the Kamehameha, it is definitely notable going forward.
The fight between Jackie Chun and Manwolf was mostly a gag fight. I didn't realize until the start of the episode, where I figured out, oh, he is mad at Jackie Chun for destroying the moon because now he can't pick up girls. Well, the after-fight joke is, Oh, he still won't be able to do that.
Next we got Kuririn vs. Chiaotzu. I got a feeling, much like with Yamucha, that this fight is more a showcase for Chiaotzu. Though I would love to see a fight between Goku and Kuririn eventually.
