Dragon Ball Super starts in a very specific time period, six months after the defeat of Majin Buu by Goku towards the end of Dragon Ball Z’s run, then the Dragon Ball Super story starts. Many Dragon Ball fans don’t watch this series on Cartoon Network because of time issues. So I am going to start making the Overview of all episodes one by one and in this article, I am continuing from the 17th episode of Dragon Ball Super.
This episode takes a 6 month time jump from the last episode. Vegeta has had a 6-month head start as he has trained with Whis ever since and never came back home to Earth. Goku is of course a bit jealous of this and wants to train with Whis and Vegeta too. Unlike Vegeta though, Goku has a big obstacle stopping him from going and that’s Chi Chi. Chi Chi always prevents Goku from training. This is unlike Bulma who doesn’t really seem to mind whatever Vegeta does in his spare time.
Before we get to that part, this episode actually starts off in Gohan and Videl’s house with Hercule Satan entertaining Pan. When Gohan comes back from work, he decides to turn into The Great Saiyaman and spars with Hercule for a little bit. While they are sparring, they are actually juggling Pan in the air. Pan is enjoying herself too, although everything comes to a halt once Chi Chi visits. She cannot believe her granddaughter is being chucked up in the air and gets very angry. Not to mention both Gohan and Hercule want Pan to grow up strong like a martial artist. After all, her grandfathers are both Goku and Hercule. However, Chi Chi does not want another dumb fighter in the family and wants Pan to be a scholar much like Gohan is now.

While that is happening, we see Bulma driving in her car and some robbers crash into her. This scene is a recreation of Resurrection F because this is where Krillin is a cop chasing them down. It’s changed in Dragon Ball Super because Bulma is the one that crashes the robber’s bike as she gets her revenge. There is a really funny scene where Krillin gives Bulma an overspeeding ticket for her reckless driving.
Krillin, Bulma and Goku all go to Gohan and Videl’s place. They want help as Chi Chi has locked herself in a room with Pan and Videl. She really does not want Pan to be a fighter. Bulma is the only character that Chi Chi invites into the room and Bulma blurts out that Vegeta has been training with Whis. Goku bursts into the room being a bit jealous that Vegeta has been training this whole time with Whis without him. We also know that Goku cannot find Beerus’s planet via Instant Transmission. He could not find it. Whis is the only way he can get there.
This leads to a series of funny scenes with Goku bugging Bulma all the time to see if Whis has visited Earth. Bulma is annoyed that Goku keeps visiting her, so she gives him a smartphone so she can ring him when Whis comes by. It’s very humorous to see Goku trying to use a smartphone. Once Whis lands on Earth, Bulma calls Goku. Goku literally is begging for Whis to train him. However, Gohan sees this and flies Chi Chi over. She is mad and doesn’t want Goku running off again like he always does. However, her efforts fail as we see Goku clutching onto Whis and they fly off. Goku can finally train with Vegeta now.
