Goku Transforms into Super Saiyan 3

In episode 17, which aired last week, Goku sensed the overwhelming power of King Gomah and called on his allies to fight alongside him. Not only did Vegeta join the battle, but also Majin Kuu, Majin Doo, and Tamagami Number One. However, they struggled against King Goma’s incredible strength.

At the end of the episode, Goku, realizing the stakes, uttered the words, "Guess I have no choice," before transforming into Super Saiyan 3. Expectations are high for episode 18, where Goku’s new form will take the battle to the next level.

With the announcement of the final episode, fans took to the internet to voice their disappointment:

“I thought it would run through March… It’s way too short!”
“Wait, it’s ending on February 28? This is the shortest series ever.”
“This sequel felt really underwhelming.”
“Toriyama-sensei’s final Dragon Ball is ending already… It’s so sad, but I’ll enjoy it till the end.”
“Seriously? I expected them to return to their normal sizes for an epic final battle, but they’re staying small the whole time…”
