QUICK TAKES
gisell_ghoul_485
I still cant believe Goku just vanished and reappeared with Roshi glasses like it was nothing and that Yardrat planet sounds so cool for him to find
tokay
Bulma has the only brain on that entire field and watching everyone ignore her logic about stopping Gero before things get bad was actually painful
puck_the_elf
The Yardrat armor looks a bit weird on Goku but the instant transmission technique is honestly the most useful thing he has ever learned for future fights against those androids and their creator
sterngrand_sword_488
I still cannot get over how Goku just casually mentioned he learned teleportation on some random planet called Yardrat, and then proved it by stealing Roshi's glasses from across the ocean. It really makes you realize how much the scale of the show is shifting now, especially since they are prepping for these androids and Bulma actually had the smartest idea to stop Gero early.

Roshi's face when he realized his sunglasses were just gone was great and Goku teleporting back in a second shows how much he improved while he was away on that other planet
asuna_angel_100
The way Goku explained the difference between moving fast and actually being everywhere at once makes sense and he really confirmed he is teleporting instantly instead of just moving at light speed for travel
tsuyu_tsunami_125
I thought the explanation of how Goku survived Namek was actually pretty cool, and seeing him finally show off the Yardrat outfit was a nice touch for his return.

Chi Chi is still yelling about Gohan needing to study and it is hilarious that she cares more about books than the literal end of the world coming in three years for all of them
great_fairy
Vegeta is definitely losing it with his training under that heavy gravity and he is so determined to catch up to the super saiyan power level after seeing what Goku can do with his new trick
nobara_nail_135
I am with Bulma on the idea to just kill Dr Gero now but Vegeta is way too obsessed with his pride and wants to fight the androids instead at full power
nure_onna_ninja
Goku just grabbed the sunglasses from Roshi and came back in a blink and that teleportation is going to change everything because he can just go anywhere now as long as there is a ki signature to find
rauru
Instant transmission is such a simple but powerful idea and seeing it in action for the first time made the distance between everyone and Goku feel massive again
sora
Goku coming home in those weird clothes and using a teleportation move was a great way to start this new part of the story and it adds more mystery to the Yardrat stuff
m1ndc0mm4nd3r
The confused look on Piccolo's face when Goku explained the energy sensing part of the teleportation was great and it really shows how much Goku grew out there
trunks_traveler_85
I really missed the more lighthearted Goku moments while he was away in space, so him coming back and immediately messing with Master Roshi was exactly what I needed, and seeing Vegeta get all worked up over the new technique made the reunion even better because I just love how much the world is expanding with these different planet skills and alien techniques
mello_maverick
That new Yardrat trick is the coolest thing Goku has learned in ages and it leaves the door open for what else is out there in space besides Frieza
sleepysquishs
The way Krillin and the others were totally baffled by Goku just vanishing and reappearing in a second made for such a fun reunion after all that Namek stress
rei_hino_373
It felt so good to have the main man back and my favorite part was him showing off the instant transmission by grabbing those glasses from the beach
geeta_360
Goku showing up in that strange Yardrat gear was a surprise, but the way he used that teleportation trick really changed the whole feeling of the reunion
filo_feather_150
Vegeta looked so mad that Goku found a way to move faster than anyone else and that two finger pose is going to be everywhere after this episode
EPISODE CONTEXT
