Dragon Ball Super Episode 74 English Dub

A Totally Biased Look Back at Dragon Ball Super Episode 74 (Dubbed!)

Okay, let's be real. We're talking about Dragon Ball Super episode 74, specifically the English dub. Prepare for some opinions that might ruffle some feathers. But hey, isn't that what makes discussing Dragon Ball so much fun?

This episode is all about Gohan and his new gig as a bodyguard/movie stuntman. He’s protecting a famous (and kinda annoying) actor. Sounds like a recipe for pure, unadulterated chaos, right?

The Great Saiyaman Returns (Kind Of)

Remember the Great Saiyaman? Yeah, that hero of justice with the ridiculous poses? Well, he makes a brief, almost shameful, appearance in this episode. It's a nostalgic nod, sure, but... was it really necessary?

Look, I love Gohan. I really do. But watching him struggle to maintain a secret identity while dealing with a diva actor is... painful. He deserves better than this, honestly.

Mr. Satan: Still the World's Champion (Debatable)

Of course, Mr. Satan shows up! He wouldn't miss a chance to bask in the spotlight, even if it's secondhand. Is he really the world's strongest man? The debate rages on!

Seriously, how does he keep getting away with this? He's basically the equivalent of a reality TV star who accidentally saved the world once. And now he’s rolling in money.

The Villain… is a Virus?

The big bad of this episode isn't some intergalactic tyrant or a rogue Saiyan. It's a freaking virus! Injected into the actor by a scorned special effects artist. Talk about a letdown, right?

Don’t get me wrong, the special effects are actually pretty cool. The fight scenes are still entertaining, even if the stakes aren't exactly universe-shattering. But a virus? Come on!

English Dub: Yay or Nay?

Now, let's talk about the English dub. I know, I know, purists will say to stick with the original Japanese. But I grew up with the English voices! It's pure nostalgia. Don't @ me.

The voice acting is… adequate. Gohan’s voice actor does a solid job portraying his awkwardness. Though there are some line deliveries that make me cringe a little. I feel it's acceptable.

Unpopular Opinion Time!

Here comes the controversial part. I think this episode is… underrated. Yes, it's filler. Yes, the plot is ridiculous. But it's Dragon Ball Super! When is it not ridiculous?

Sometimes, you just need an episode where the heroes aren't saving the universe from imminent destruction. Sometimes, you just need some lighthearted, goofy fun. Even if it stars a virus-infected actor.

Plus, it gives Gohan some much-needed screen time. And who doesn't love seeing Gohan (even if he's struggling)? This episode served as character-building for Gohan and show a different angle about his family life.

Final Thoughts (Before the Haters Attack)

So, there you have it. My slightly unhinged, totally biased opinion on Dragon Ball Super episode 74 (dubbed). It's not perfect, but it's entertaining. And sometimes, that's all that matters.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go rewatch the Cell Saga. Just to remind myself of the good old days. Because even Dragon Ball Super can't top that, am I right?

Feel free to disagree! Tell me why I'm wrong. Just be nice about it. After all, we're all fans of Dragon Ball, whether we love or hate this particular episode.
