I have mixed feelings about how easily Trunks and Goten can turn Super Saiyan already, and it makes the struggle the older guys went through feel a bit less special even if it is impressive for kids. But seeing that ridiculous Cell Games reenactment by Mr Satan made up for it, because his ego is just on another level of delusion

Videl thinking Goku just left his family for some other woman is hilarious because of how wrong she is. Gohan is going to have a hard time explaining everything to her
nicol_ascart_166
Goten is literally just a small Goku and his energy is so pure. Seeing him get ready for his match makes me want to see how he compares to Trunks
kakashi_kage_98
Trunks is just a tiny Vegeta and seeing him beat that kid in seconds was so funny. He has the exact same attitude as his dad
darkness_defender
I think Mr Satan is the funniest part of this whole show. That play he put on about the Cell Games was so dumb and fake but I could not stop laughing
rayquaza_306
The way Trunks behaved out there made it clear he is exactly like Vegeta, and that finish was way too fast for a kids tournament
sawyer
Trunks absolutely smoking that kid in the junior division was hilarious and it really shows how scary these saiyan kids are becoming
professor_sycamore_332
Seeing Goku back on earth and hanging out with the gang again feels so right and the vibes for this tournament are starting off great
asuka_langley_181
I couldn't stop laughing when Krillin just accepted the Mr Satan situation as good marketing, while the others were basically losing their minds over the lies
n
Piccolo and Vegeta looking so disgusted by the circus performance from Mr Satan is the most relatable part of the whole episode for me
l_mystery
I am so impressed by how strong Goten and Trunks are already and watching them dominate the junior division is making me excited for their actual match
sunlitsonata
That Idasa kid really thought he was something special until Trunks just ended the fight in like two seconds without even trying
pamela
The way Vegeta hates being at this tournament, especially while that fake Cell Games movie is playing, is just too good. He looks like he wants to blow up the entire stadium just to stop people from cheering for Mr Satan. The contrast between the Z fighters knowing the truth and the crowd being totally clueless makes this whole setup really funny to watch
darmani
I finally got to see Goku meet Goten and it was honestly so sweet seeing them together after all this time since the Cell Games ended
calamity_ganon_297
Videl saying she needs to lie down after finding out Gohan is related to Goku is such a mood because her world is basically upside down now
gold_319
Trunks just casually destroying that strength testing machine was the highlight and he really is a chip off the old block with that attitude
brassius
Watching Mr Satan take credit for the Cell fight in that stupid movie made me laugh and it is so funny seeing how much the regular people actually believe him
cremia
Being back at the tournament grounds makes it feel like those early martial arts battles from when Goku was a kid
rukia_reaper
Trunks acting like a total brat by making that kid cry is exactly how his dad used to be, and it is pretty obvious Vegeta is proud of him.
dark_beast_ganon
I actually started tearing up when Goku appeared with that halo and grabbed Gohan because seven years is such a long time to be away from your family. Seeing him meet Goten for the first time was the highlight of the whole episode and it made me realize how much the show missed his energy even if the kids are fun.
EPISODE CONTEXT
Episode 210 falls within the Buu Saga's early stages, where a period of relative peace allows Goku and the Z Fighters to reunite at the World Martial Arts Tournament — a setup that reintroduces characters, establishes new power dynamics, and plants seeds for the massive conflict to come. The tournament arc serves as a critical pivot point, transitioning from the saga's lighter opening stretch into the darker, more intense battles that will define its back half. What unfolds during and around this tournament will directly trigger the chain of events leading to one of Dragon Ball Z's most formidable villains.
