In Dragon Ball Super chapter 82, Goku really has to rely on a device that hasn’t really seen any action since the Dragon Ball Z days.
Caveat! Spoilers ahead for dragon ball super chapter 82
dragon ball super continues to iron out some of the franchise’s deep-seated flaws by making a forgotten Dragon Ball Z tool the key to Goku defeating the villainous Gas.
In chapter 82 of dragon ball super, the Namekian Monaito, whom Goku’s father Bardock saved decades ago from the villain Gas, reveals that he still has Bardock’s broken Scouter which contains an audio file saved. Since Goku and his friends haven’t been able to find a way to defeat Gas at present, Monaito hopes that if they somehow repair the Scouter, they can retrieve the audio file which will hopefully contain information on how Bardock successfully won. against Gas. After repairing the device, they discover, to their delight, that the audio file is from that fateful day so long ago.
Aside from the intriguing plot development that is often missing from Dragon BallThis is the latest example of how manga artist Akira Toriyama and artist Toyotarou have made objects or characters that the franchise has made irrelevant suddenly become relevant again. Unfortunately, the Scouter couldn’t possibly be useful in the usual sense, as Scouters are normally used to locate and track a target’s power level, and most of the main characters, including Goku, possess the ability to do so automatically. naturally without the help of technology. So obviously Akira and Toyotarou had to reintroduce archaic technology in a different way. And this was obviously the next best decision, aside from Goku and the others somehow losing their ability to sense another character’s power level.
Although things are expected to change, especially in a series that has been ongoing in some form since 1989, the absurd amount of power that the franchise’s heroes have amassed has greatly minimized the number of items that these warriors can turn into. divines must trust, removing a lot of the plot evolution in the process. For example, Goku lost his trust in Flying Nimbus and Power Pole, which were originally the main staples of his character. Instead of having to come up with innovative ways to travel using Flying Nimbus or fight with Power Pole in different circumstances, Goku can now simply fly, teleport, or just release an incredibly powerful wave of energy. But since Goku can’t use time-defying telepathy with those from the past (yet), he must rely on a Scouter who recorded crucial data from years past, in turn bringing a bit of diversity to a series that’s infamous for perpetually. according to the same themes and tropes.
As well as offering some distinction in an otherwise stagnant story, the addition of this Scouter serves as a physical connection between Goku and his long-dead father Bardock. Before now, Goku knew absolutely nothing about his father, and now, Monaito has not only revealed things about Bardock that Goku never thought he would ever know, but Goku you now have a physical object that once belonged to you. The Granolah the Survivor Saga was already known for bridging the gap between the present and the Dragon Ball Zit’s an ancient past, and now it’s actually accomplishing this on a more tangible level.
