It is so random that the show ends with Goku flying a stranger to a remote village and leaving everyone behind but at least Uub has enough power to actually keep up
rickert_the_smith
Goku really insulted that poor kids parents just to get him to fight and then he basically kidnapped him to a remote village
jun_jun_389
Goten and Trunks getting that little nod from Goku before he left felt like he was telling them they are the ones in charge of the planet now

I can't believe it's actually over. Watching Goku fly away with Uub on his back felt so bittersweet, especially after seeing everyone's faces in the booth. Chichi was understandably furious and Pan was crying her eyes out which made me pretty sad too. It's such a classic move for Goku to prioritize training over everything else and I'm going to miss this show

I feel so bad for ChiChi because her husband just ditched her again to train some kid he just met and he did not even hesitate to pack his bags and fly away
zerotwolover
Goku really just insulted a child and then left his whole family to go live in the woods with him and I cannot stop laughing because that is the most Goku way to end this show
bakeneko_blade_222
Goku was really out here calling Uub's dad a pig just to get him to throw a punch and the look on the announcer's face while they destroyed the ring was priceless
sunlitsonata
My heart broke when Pan started crying and begging her grandpa to stay but Goku just gave her a hug and promised to visit and then zoomed off into the sunset
lugia_305
I feel so bad for Chichi because Goku just ditched everyone again after ten years of peace and for what to train a kid he just met
solgaleo
Vegeta knowing exactly why Goku is leaving is the best part and he knows his rival just wants to build a better opponent for later so they can keep fighting forever
yuu_ishigami
After all these years, when that final montage of old sagas rolled with the narrator's goodbye, I truly wasn't prepared for the wave of nostalgia it brought. Seeing the Dragon Balls scatter one last time didn't just feel like the end of an era; it genuinely made me reflect on my own journey growing up alongside Goku and the gang.

Goku leaving his family is definitely frustrating, but seeing him so happy to finally find a student with that much hidden power makes it feel like he finally found his purpose
tigers_eye
I really laughed when Mr Satan dropped his cigar and lost his mind while the entire arena was falling apart because of the shockwaves
sophocles_343
People are going to be mad that he left his family again, but that is just who Goku is and he needs that thrill of the fight to feel alive and it was wild seeing him basically bully a child just to get a good sparring partner out of it, and even though it was kind of mean, it worked perfectly to draw out that hidden power

Reaching the end of this journey feels so heavy to me, especially when they started showing all the old scenes from the Saiyan saga and Namek during the final flight

Vegeta knowing exactly why Goku was leaving before anyone else even said anything shows how much those two have grown to understand each other after all these years
tengu_tempest_61
Pan crying and grabbing onto his leg while he tried to leave was the hardest part to watch because she just wanted to spend time with her grandpa
yasutora_sado_493
I actually cannot believe Goku said those things about that kids mom just to get him mad and start fighting for real
kaworu_nagisa
Chi-Chi spent ten years finally having her husband home and then he just dips on her again to go live in some random village and train a child
eschuu
The way it just cuts to black after they fly off feels so sudden and you can really tell they were already planning for whatever comes next in the story
EPISODE CONTEXT
