Goku and his farming abilities aren’t even the episode’s focus though. Instead, we see that Gohan is pretty much neutered by both Videl and Chi Chi’s influence, with him more concerned with being on the path of a “great scholar” rather than utilizing any of the power that that Z Sword unlocked. This unfortunately is the rut that Gohan falls into in this series, but Goten and Trunks are at least up to enough mischief and accidental battles to make up for Gohan’s complete abandonment of the battlefield. The two pre-teen fighters might be preoccupied with trying to get Videl the perfect present, but it at least results in the two of them taking part in battle with a giant snake. The series, much like how the end of Dragon Ball Z was, is quick to offer up plenty of bumbling Mr. Satan with Majin Buu in tow, as if they were some anime version of Laurel and Hardy. They continue to add to the very light hearted tone of this premiere episode that is 100% more interested in comedy than it is heavy plotting or action.

These almost painfully innocent moments on Earth are interrupted by a delightfully crazy scene in outer space that acts as the introduction of the mysterious and dangerous Beerus and Whis as they slowly travel the galaxy. Their goal is not yet made clear to the audience, with Beerus’ destructive tendencies currently very much feeling like the first glimpses that we got of Frieza. Beerus carries a heavier air to himself and there is much more than wonton destruction going on with him. For those that have already seen the Battle of Gods film, you’re well aware of what Beerus and Whis fully represent and what they’re looking for as they comb through the universe.

In spite of barely anything happening in this episode it’s just damn nice to get to see these characters again and hear the same voice actors returning to these roles. I legit felt like a teenage boy again as I watched the show’s theme song and there are few, few things capable of conjuring that powerful pull of nostalgia these days—I don’t even think the LucasArts logo and Star Wars crawl did it for me in The Force Awakens. The show’s ending theme is especially engineered to pull on your heartstrings and memories of this grand journey that chart all the way back to the days of Dragon Ball.

But this is still an episode where you don’t even get Goku in his traditional orange and blue gi! It’s like the episode is intentionally trolling you. This is what you waited for! Radishes! It’s like material you’d fill a teaser webisode with (and the next episode is very much more of the same with the Vegetas going on a family vacation—but uh oh—Mr. Vegeta wants to stay home and train!), and yet, it’s soothing to have this world back. Besides, Dragon Ball almost has a history of dragging its feet. It’s not as if the first episode of Dragon Ball Z has a whole lot of plot to it, other than it’s climactic ending—the same of which can be said here. And speaking of which, there’s a certain turn of events at the end of the episode that thankfully pulls Goku away from the tractor.

Dragon Ball Super also chooses to frustratingly focuses on pretty much just Goku and Vegeta, giving them the majority of the fights and development once the show gets rolling. I mean, these guys are people’s favorites, so it’s not exactly surprising, but it’s no reason to totally shelve equally impressive, varied characters like Piccolo, Majin Buu, or the complete dismantling that’s gone on with Gohan’s character (remember when this guy was the strongest, ultimate fighter? You’d barely recognize him now). This is not really an issue that’s solved over the course of nearly 75 episodes into the series at this point, so I feel it’s something worth giving you a heads-up on. Plenty of other characters do get moments to shine and there are some complete surprise appearances that turn up down the road (*coughCaptainGinyucough*) that imply that Toriyama is feeling just as nostalgic as his audience is, but still, get ready for The Goku and Vegeta Show.
