REVIEW Dragon Ball Super ep:70 [Let's Play Baseball]

     Another fun comedy episode but this time we get some spotlight on a character that hasn't had any in quite some time, Yamcha. Because of that lack of spotlight he has become something of a joke. But with this episode we get to see him actually be good at something.

     We start the episode with Champa instigating a 'friendly' baseball match with his brother. Berrus agrees to play, and they decide to play in universe seven. It is then revealed to the audience that Champa just wanted to eat universe 7 food without a care in the world. However Vados convinces him to really go at it in playing baseball. And thus high jinks ensue. The teams are split. On the Solar Sevens (There is no official name as I am aware so I decided to make some up.) we have Goku, Krillin, Gohan, Piccolo, Trunks, Berrus, and Yamcha. For the Super Six we have Champa, Cabba, Botamo, Auto Magetta, with Vegeta and Goten helping fill out the rest. 

     The joke are what you expect. Goku going overboard with the pitches, both in power and under power. Vegeta and Goku having a beam struggle in the form of a baseball bat and pitch. Most of the players not knowing how to even play the game, these jokes are to be expected. However the best part of the episode was Yamcha. With him being a straight man to all the goings on, it really grounds the jokes. He also got the best visual joke of the episode, with him recreating his death pose from the Saiyan saga.  

     

   This episode was solid. One day when I would want to rewatch one episode from super this will probably be it, much in the same way the learning to drive cars episode from DBZ is. Hopefully this will go down as a fan favorite.
