rather than excepetions, I'd say simply say that they are in a different league-kind-of-villains. Remember, not every bad guy Goku fought became a friend, even in early DB.

Spoiler for Episode 26:

That was a good episode, and i mean very good. To fit in Vegeta's awaken all the way to him defeating Zarbon. Wow, what an episode.

It'll always make me laugh how easy it was for Vegeta in the first half of this episode. I mean i thought Freeza would be smarter then to just leave the dragon balls alone like that.

Spoiler for episode 26:

First they leave him because they think he is dead, then they leave him because they think he is weak. Ok, their IQ is around that of a lizard. Meaning average, if you compare them with the smartest character in this series: Tsundere busty chick Bulma.

What was this delay about anyway? Zarbon could have taken him to Frieza right away and save us half an episode.

Why are you so grouchy? You seem to always complain about something when we already know what's going to happen. This series has been brought back to feel nostalgic. Just sit back and watch one of the most classic shounen series ever made. Enjoy it rather than nitpicking everything

i like how the 27 preview ended with Veggie being all happy smiley with Gohan

In ep 25, Frieza insinuates Zarbon didn't dive into the lake because he hates the water (which is pretty weird, considering he looks like a giant toad). Not all that great of a reason I suppose, but maybe he figured Vegeta wasn't a real threat even if he did manage to survive.

And man, you guys always seem to be an episode ahead of me. Even though I know what's going to happen, I still find myself avoiding spoiler tags for whatever reason. Maybe part of me wants to keep this feeling like I'm watching it again for the very first time.

I wish the Ginyu Force would show up already!

It's better then the original series, and waiting at least 10 weeks.

Does anyone know who the new voice actor is for Zarbon?

His voice kept reminding me of Lelouch's voice actor.

Anime News Network has the answer you are seeking. Visit that site to discover the many roles voice actors have played in the past.

It was nice to see that Kai kept the gore in Vegeta's gut punch to Zarbon fully intact. Contrary to what some may think (you know, censorship), the scenes of violence in Kai have been identical to those in the manga.

Now that you mention that, I did realize that after watching Vegeta get beat down by Zarbon the first time around. The violence was less censored than I'm accustomed to, which is of course a good thing. Initially, I thought they were going to censor a lot considering the hole that was supposed to be in Goku after the special beam cannon during the Raditz fight. I'm actually enjoying the series a little more now

[roriconfan]

Will there be an uncensored version of Kai?

[Alchemist007]

I don't see anything censored to begin with.

Spoiler for delicious proof:

What about the first episodes?

[Alchemist007]

Well if it's a light beam which would cauterize the wound, no or little blood would make sense.

The manga version of the Special Beam Cannon piercing through Goku and Raditz was a lot less graphic than the original Z anime counterpart. There was basically no blood coming out of the wounds, and thus Kai simply made its version of that scene more true to the manga.

I think you need to watch some more House re-runs.
