There’s some legitimate humor that comes out of the idea of Vegeta needing to procure Earth’s tastiest dish so he’s able to train with Whis. The episode cleverly takes something that Vegeta has next to no interest in (cuisine) and requires him to become super invested in it in order to become a better fighter. It’s a nonsensical nightmare that’s enough to drive Vegeta insane. This comedic detour also goes down a lot easier knowing that a good deal of fighting is on the horizon for Vegeta. Let them have their fun now.

It’s somewhat interesting that Dragon Ball Super has had more episodes devoted to driving Vegeta crazy and nearly pushing him to a mental breakdown than the entirety of Dragon Ball Z. It’s always been clear that Vegeta can be a great tool for comedy when used properly, but with Dragon Ball Super it’s almost felt like the mandate has been to see how far the Saiyan Prince can be pushed. This series once more gets to show off its comedic chops this week.

Vegeta is very funny in this one and if some three-minute gag anime web series was made that was Cooking Time Super with Vegeta I’d be the first to watch it. There’s something so simple, yet genius about Vegeta trying to do a task as delicate as cracking an egg and failing spectacularly at it. His mannerisms are so exaggerated and his behavior so over the top that you’d think he mixed up his Senzu Bean supply with a bunch of Adderall. This is an episode where Old Kai gets to perv on two rhinoceros beetles that are half way across the universe, so clearly something is in the water this week. It’s also a very brief sequence, but Goku sleeping on the tractor and nearly running himself off a cliff, completely oblivious to how close he gets to killing himself is a real piece of art. Between this moment and Goku’s impromptu escape from Chi-Chi last episode, Goku and Tractor are becoming a veritable Laurel and Hardy of the Dragon Ball universe.

By the end of all of these shenanigans, Vegeta does eventually find satisfaction. An idea is brought up by Whis, which is only hinted at, but Vegeta actually training to become a new God of Destruction would be pretty awesome. He has the perfect motivations to do such a thing. Regardless of how the episode is using Vegeta, it’s nice to get to return to him and his insatiable work ethic, especially when pairing him up with Whis.

While on that note, this episode is also the biggest showcase of Whis to date, with the character becoming increasingly interesting with each new detail we learn about him (also how good of a team are him and Bulma together? And how brilliant is her plan to get closer to him in order to keep their family safe provided Beerus gets a little destruction-happy again?). With such an emphasis being placed on Beerus, Whis has effectively been able to skirt by in the shadows. The mysteriousness regarding his true purpose and strength makes him all the more fascinating. There seems to be the implication that he’s even more powerful than Beerus if he’s the one that trained him in the first place. And yet, the series—almost intentionally—seems to shy away from Whis showing off any of his strength. It creates a level of anxiety in the audience that’s not dissimilar to what Vegeta is feeling. If Whis is someone that’s training Gods of Destruction, clearly he could do wonders with Vegeta and get him up to Goku’s level; especially with the tight leash that Chi-Chi has had Goku on after his fight with Beerus. There’s never been a better time to catch up.
