Overall, I'm really mixed on this episode, more than any other before it.
Starting with the good, the comedy was great, like others already mentioned. Hybis works great with Vegeta, even though at this point the Vegeta I know would have threatened some violence.
Kuu is still great, I really hope we get to keep him. Between his whimsical fighting style and his personality, he is a great fit for this type of series.
I'm also into the lore, some things align with Super and others really don't. I'm curious where this is going, but going off the last 30 years, the next thing Dragon Ball will start after Z anyway.
Now, for the things I didn't like: They squandered pretty much everything last episode set up. Apparently, the Dragon Ball didn't get stolen while Goku slept and splitting up with Vegeta was pointless too - they just met up the very next episode. Assuming they do dump Kuu, nothing actually happened last episode.
It also seems like Daima will be really short. We've had a second Tamagami fight this episode, and although he wasn't defeated, the second one probably falls next episode. Compared to the early episodes, the pacing is really fast.
I'm also kinda annoyed by some things regarding the lore. Why does everyone go on and on about Piccolo's 'home planet'? He was literally born during Dragon Ball, Goku was right there when it happened. Sure, he's got some Kami and some Nail, but at his core he mostly remained the Piccolo born on earth.
Anyway, I'm still invested and curious about the cliffhanger - it's mostly the pacing that feels off.
You have some very fair thoughts on it. One thing, Piccolo is the reincarnation of Demon King Piccolo. For all intents and purposes, they are the same being. Fusing with Kami returned him to being the nameless Namekian. He would almost assuredly have come from Demon Realm and should, if I'm not mistaken, retain the memories
I was always of the assumption that, while he is all of them in theory, he has no memories of either Demon King Piccolo or the Nameless Namekian. Kami and Nail only exist in his subconsciousness. However, maybe I've just watched too much Abridged.
The general consensus is that he retained his fathers memories, but I don't know if it is officially written anywhere. He remembered Goku in Dragon Ball, and that he wanted to take over the world
