I managed to catch the end of this episode, but only the sub. Because this is a dub premiere, the subs are the only versions that exist online, so I missed Cristina Vee's crying performance.
True. Turns out sandwiching other shows between 2 Dragonball Z shows doesn't exactly work, so putting only one of them at the front of the block is still the tried and true way to kick off the block with a hit. Also I'm glad fans are still "with" the block even after 2 weeks of yet more marathons.
