Planet Namek

But yeah, Super Saiyan moment.

First Super Saiyan transformation on Namek is the iconic moment for me.

Very, very, very influential point when I was really young and I had Toonami as a kid.

Actually, I didn't even have Toonami.

I had a relative or a family friend who had Toonami and would record it.

Actually, I think it was partially on Cartoon Network slash Toonami, but then they would actually record it on videotapes And then send it to me.

And then I got, like, a good chunk of, like, the Namek saga and stuff if, like, a Dragon Ball Marathon was on.

And, uh, yeah, no, this was really iconic.

Find out next week on an all-new episode of Dragon Ball Z. Goku and Frieza face off in a relentless battle.

The fate of Planet Namek, stringing on the balance.

I remember when they did Kai on TV, and that's kind of like, that was what was actually streaming on my TV.

It was still about two episodes for Goku to go Super Saiyan.

She's 12.

She should have Gohan's build from the, [laughs] from the Namek Saga.

[laughs]

Actually, Cell, uh, Cell games.

Vegeta uses it twice.

They definitely do telekinetic shit in the very pre-Namek A lot of telekinesis is happening.

Goku has...

And when Goku first touches down on Namek and he just puts his hand on Krillin's forehead and he was just like, you don't even got to tell me what's going on, big dog.

And then he's just down.

He just DLCs everything that took place.

Yeah.

Design, attitude, how he was actually utilizing everybody's technique, right? Right.

to fight more guys from space, becomes his rivals, becomes his friends.

He saves his friends by going to Namek to wish to get the original Dragon Balls.

He fights Frieza, the baddest dude in the universe, becomes legendary Super Saiyan, comes back to Earth a number of years later to find a boy from the future telling him prophecies about androids.

They stop the androids.

Altaban.Dragonball.

He had a very brief stint on Planet Namek, because I think, like, a month after he technically joined the staff, they shut down.

Um-

Phew

You had to actually go to the website.

Yeah, so j- yeah, just, just trying to give that frame of reference of what Mike is talking about when he says he wants, he wanted to do something different.

I would, I mean, I would love if people from Planet Namek would, would make themselves known so we could get their perspective, because from what I remember about that site, that was also kinda leaning more into what your partner was probably talking about in terms of being more into the culture and the, and, uh, posting a lot of fan art and images-

Yeah

They'd forgotten how to do it.

uh so then another thing i really liked is that eisen is filling the role of a villain who is still truly evil but is willing to work with the hero to serve his own purpose Uh, you know, the first thing that I thought of was very much like Vegeta and the Namek arc where, you know, he's, he's alongside the Z fighters, you know, Gohan and Krillin, like he works with them, but they both know that Vegeta is still clearly evil.

Um, but Vegeta knows that Frieza is even worse.

And so he was like, so if I'm going to survive, we've got to work together because we're the only ones that are strong enough to go up against Frieza.
