Dragon Ball Z Episode 72 English Dubbed
 (Toonami) [C][RetroCCN]_000114.jpg)
Okay, let's talk about *Dragon Ball Z*, specifically episode 72 in the English dub. It’s a classic, right? But I have some…feelings. Potentially controversial ones.
Let's dive in. Prepare yourself, Dragon Ball purists!
The Hyperbolic Time Chamber: A Love-Hate Relationship
Ah, the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Also known as the Room of Spirit and Time! It's where Goku and Gohan decided to become super saiyan sandwich fillings. Seriously, they spent a year in there!
A year in one Earth day? That’s some serious time dilation. It’s kinda convenient for powering up, don’t you think?
But here’s my unpopular opinion. I think the whole Hyperbolic Time Chamber thing is slightly…boring.
Training Montages: Yawn?
Training montages are cool, I guess. But a *year* of training? We only see snippets!
We get some powering up screams. Maybe some spirit bombs. It feels like a missed opportunity for crazy scenarios.
I wanted to see Goku try to cook a gourmet meal with only rocks! Or maybe Gohan attempting to build a miniature replica of Kame House out of snow. Just something, anything, more entertaining.
Is that so much to ask?
Mr. Popo: The Real MVP (Maybe?)
Okay, let's talk about the real star of the show. I’m talking about Mr. Popo, of course.
This guy chills with Kami and throws people into the Room of Spirit and Time. What else is there to do?
Mr. Popo is always just…there. Watching. Judging. Potentially holding the secrets to the universe.
I think he's secretly the strongest character in *Dragon Ball Z*. Prove me wrong!
The Imperfect Cell: Still Imperfectly Awesome
Let's be real: *Cell* is the main villain of this saga.
He’s a bio-android made from the cells of the strongest fighters! Including the cells from Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo. He’s like the ultimate fighting smoothie.
But in episode 72, he’s still imperfect. Which makes him slightly…less intimidating.
He’s more like Slightly Annoying Cell at this point. Constantly searching for Android 17 and 18. Seriously, just chill, dude!
Still, gotta give him credit. His design is pretty cool. And his voice acting? Chef's kiss.
English Dubbing: A Questionable Choice?
I'll be honest, the English dub is fine. Great, even for its time.
But sometimes the lines are…a little cheesy. I mean, *DBZ* is cheesy to begin with.
Remember the powering up screams? They’re iconic. But after a while, they blend together. AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
I appreciate the voice actors! But sometimes the dialogue felt a little forced.
"I am the hope of the universe! I am the answer to all living things that cry out for peace! I am protector of the innocent! I am the light in the darkness! I am truth. Ally to good! Nightmare to you!" - Goku probably.
Still, it wouldn’t be the same *DBZ* without it!
Episode 72: A Mixed Bag of Saiyan Goodness
So, what’s the verdict on *Dragon Ball Z* episode 72? It’s…okay. I guess.
It has some great moments. Sets up important story beats. Paves the way for future power-ups.
But it also feels a little slow. Could use a dash more zaniness!
This episode might not be my absolute favorite. But I'll still watch it again! I mean, it's *Dragon Ball Z*! How can you not?
Plus, I'm still holding out hope that Mr. Popo will reveal his true power. Any day now...
