Since Final Chapters is airing, why not make a episode thread? Also since there wasn't an analysis for episode one, I'll make two summary posts for this week.
And I will include the episode name cuz the episode numbering doesn't make sense in the overall series sense.
Episode 1: Seven Years Later! Starting Today, Gohan is a High School Student
1. Sad they didn't keep Dragon Soul.
2. Gym/baseball teacher sounds different. Also still a lol for Gohan not dodging the baseball... other than that... nothing much that stood out for me. Felt more like a transition episode.

Episode 2: A New Hero, Great Saiyaman, is Born! 1. The "last time on DBZKAI" music... did they change the music score or something? 2. Vegeta's "you need to train" to Gohan. Weird he doesn't push Trunks when he heard his boy "slack off." 3. "Who do you think you are?" "I dunno, don't got a name yet..." "That was rhetorical."  4. Chichi's scream... that scream does not match. But hey her voice sounds a bit better than the Super Version where (I think) she had a cold sore or something. 5. Goten liking the Great Saiyaman outfit... I'm sorry, just that moment from Super contradicts this brother moment...  sniffle. (Lol) 6. Gohan telling Goten he might ask Bulma for Goten's size... Gosh dang it Super, you ruined a good brother moment between Gohan and Goten. (The episode where the two trailed Goku) 7. Oh man that flashback to Cell. 8. Kidnappers and their picture... still gets me. 9. Wait... two hours...  not impressed Gohan. Not impressed. |

Trunks is like 6 and already achieved SSJ, he is training just fine, of course he is going to have more rigorous expectations then a prepubescent child.

Episode 3: "Videl's Crisis? Gohan's Urgent Call-out!" 1. Gohan’s “rap” was better. 2. “Violence never solves anything,” dude what do you call the last fight with Cell? - Pity 3. Sharpner’s “like a boss.” You have my respects man. EldagustoHuh. Dunno how I forgot to respond to ya. My bad. I meant how in Super, Trunks justs drops his training. Vegeta told off Gohan here in the Majin Buu arc but he doesn't tell off his own son inthe Super series. |

Episode 4: A Monster is Taken Away! The Culprit is Great Saiyaman? 1. Said this already but Chichi's voice is back to normal. Yay for her (and her V.A.!) 2. That cop's "Seriously, put your hands behind your back," that was the clincher of comedy for me in this episode. 3. "Terrible excuse for a voice" excuse you Videl? You dare insult Kyle Hebert, the voice of Gohan? Oh wait you meant his voice as Great Saiyaman. Nvm XD 4. Oh wow, I forgot how innocent Gohan was as a high school student until Videl showed up and tried to blackmail him and shit. Poor guy. 4B. Wouldn't it be funny if Gohan brought up his father was dead, Videl says sorry to hear, and Gohan reveals it's not that big a deal cuz they have seven magic balls that summon a dragon and can revive a person from the dead and Ohcrapbaskets I'm spilling more beans than Krillin did with Senzus.
Nah but seriously, how did Videl not encounter the reports of the Great Ape, Saiyan invasion, Androids and Cell during her research on Goku? You'd think a Guy with Black Spike hair in an orange jumpsuit would stick out fighting a bunch of monsters. 5. Vegeta's voice... (only his part about bridging the gap between him and Gohan) I feel like Chris spent more time on his Super Vegeta than he did on his Kai Vegeta, hence why Kai Vegeta felt a bit off. Anybody else think/see this? 6. Vegeta: Gohan, I'm not playing dress up with you!  6B Trunk's constant asking of who Kakarot is. Gotta admit, kinda adorable. |

Episode 5: Entering the World Martial Arts Tournament!
Goten Shows Off His Explosive Power During Training!
1. HA, Gohan talking to the audience about Krillin's hair. Still loving this
2. Wait... is that Colleen Clinkenbeard as A18? So they're splitting the Android 18 work between KAi and Super. Intereseting.
3. Writing this before I see the credits... what's with Dende's voice?
4. Chichi's first scream... aw man it still doesn't sound like our favorite Chichi we all love and laugh... although it does have an effect and make it sound like she's older so I guess it makes sense.
5. Wow... Gohan finally stepping up and telling is brother off... more of an impact this time around. Oh and Gohan's dodging... wow... even Goten doesn't think he could dodge it.
6. "How on Earth did you learn how to become Super Saiyan!?!?!?"
Well Gohan, your Dad became SS off world... so...
And the final one:
7. Chichi meets Videl. LMFAO!

Episode 6: Gohan the Teacher! Videl's Flying Technique Tutorial
1. "The key to flying is Ki control" I'm Sorry but I had to post that XD
#homonym
2. I actually prefer Videl saying "Gohan you don't make sense" rather than the "who are you to tell me about my body" line
3. Super Saiyan Bargain Basement Sale. Lol
4. Trunks punches Vegeta. Confirmed, that exact line was used in Super. (Erm... copy and paste the clip with a few edits)
5. "Never lower your guard" was Kai recorded before Resurrection F? I swear, that's another meme or something.
6. Android 16 would be pissed Piccolo hurt the butterflies
7. "Will Gohan figure out Videl's heart" ending line... it's like this is all some sort of giant flashback with such obvious references to events... wait...

Episode 7: The Dragon Team Fully Assembled! Goku Has Come Back!
1. It's over 9090!!! (The number here is 9095 and Iirc, the dub had Trunks stopped at 9001 pushups.)
2. Seriously, how did Mr. Satan not notice his girl getting a new hairstyle and staying late after class for so long?
3. Piccolo's voice... should this reflect his 7 years of peace or should this reflect Chris' tired voicing for the gruff guys? Either way, I think I like this new voice... style... whatever the correct term is.
4. Goku's return "So uh.... how are things going." Way to make an entrance buddy.
5. Goten and Trunk's convo: Funny contrast to the Future Trunks we "knew" who looked up to Goku even from the dead... his Goku anyway.
6. Aw damn, they missed the chance to correct everyone and have Krillin say "Back off man, she's not a robot... or android, she's a Cyborg" or something along those lines. Aw well, wasted potential is right.

Episode 8: Who is the World's Greatest? The Tournament Preliminaries Begin! 1. Can anyone tell me who is the voice actress of the blond reporter at the beginning? Sounds way too familiar... 2. Piccolo's shock about his natural color. Bwahahahahahaahahah!!! 3. World Tournament Announcer is such a nice and cool guy... too bad he doesn't do more. 4. Krillin: What's a punch machine? TFS Popo: You you maggot. 4b. 18: Pretending to be weak is tough. LOL! 5. Vegeta tired of everybody's shit with the Krillin punch machine. |

Episode 9: Everyone is Surprised! Goten and Trunks' Super Battle!
1. There was straight up a Kid who pulled a Kid!Gohan! Crying and somehow beating up his opponent.
2. I can't get over Bulma's second tongue/"Nya nya nya!" Tonight's run of Dragon ball Episodes was a good laugh!
3. Chichi's voice... aw man she's got a sore throat again.
4. Everybody chanting to the Great Saiyanman "DON'T BE A FREAKING JERK!"
5. Finally a DBZ Fight Started and not some Mr. Satan Joke of a fight. Go Trunks... Go Goten!!! Man, I wish I could cheer for them both at the same time. Maybe if I combine their names... Trunkten? Nah that's stupid... gonna have to work on that combined naming system.

I caught last's episode in the middle. I missed all the matches between regular kids and Goten and Trunks, but saw the match between Trunks and Goten start. I love how Chi-chi and Bulma are passive aggressive at first then outright cheering for their kids to beat the other one down. Oolong is getting punched in the face by Bulma for like no reason. I suspect Yamecha is thanking his lucky stars he chose not to sit by Bulma. This one of my favorite fights in the Buu arc. I really do like Trunks and Goten. I think they ever got a free shot in this franchise to be honest. They had one arc then were regulated to being background characters in GT and Super.

Episode 10: The Junior Champ is Finally Decided! Who Will Fight Against Mr. Satan?
1. That was THE Shortest "Previously on Dragon Ball [Insert Series Name Here]" Like... 15 seconds.
2. Goku saying let the kids fire an energy shot... so is Irresponsible!Goku applicable here?
3. I wonder what Roshi was gonna say before he got punched XD
4. "It's not a real fight, in business, we call this filler." Just like every shitty filler fight we had in the anime? Sure about that Satan? Take 5 minutes and figure out why ya wanna rephrase that.
Final statement? Most interesting fight scene I've seen in a while. Goten V Trunks, now with better voicing, music, and animation (cleanups). English dub anyway, didn't see it in subbed. Still, I legit can't wait to see how the rest of the Final Chapters plays out with the new script, voices, etc.

Episode 11: Restless Foreboding A mysterious Warrior Appears! 1. Dat delayed reaction tho. Lolz (Satan heads to a dressing room.) 2. Oh my crap, Krillin's impersonation of Satan was funny as HIFL XD 3. Vegeta says "Waitress" and not "Woman?" Well there goes the running gag of Vegeta calling every female "Woman" 4. I'll just leave this here. Good times 5. And this one. Surprised they didn't bother fixing this one in particular. 6. I need that soundtrack name when Vegeta shows his number to Kakarot. |

[Turns out, at least imo, doing only dub comparisons is a bit boring so I'll just add a bit of humor in my summaries. Any complaints, (I Really don't mind) please voice them and I'll return to dub comparisons  ] Episode 12: What Happened, Piccolo? An Unexpected Outcome in the First Round 1. Chichi's statement about "Husband's never lost a fight" Let's see: Piccolo (Original DB), Raditz (Died), A19 (Heart Virus), Cell (Give up for Gohan) I can keep going, just tell me when to stop Chichi. 2. Also did Marron get shorter in Super? Here in Kai she looks what could be Oolong's height... oh well. 3. Also Yamcha confirmed Krillin to be the strongest PURE Human... wait we all know that, what am I typing this for? 4. If Piccolo chose the name Majunior, why did the announcer call him out as a veteran? What was the point then? 5. Let's play a game. I spy with my little eye, a bird. |

I'm just gonna say this now, somebody PM me when TV Tropes updates the DB Kai section; let's just say I wanna see some reactions to Goku's... "bribes" to Old Kai. Especially "Getting Crap Past the Radar" one.
