The hit anime series, "Dragon Ball Super," went into a succession of filler episode following the ending of the Zen exhibition match.

Vegeta is now in the game and the latest episode shows the husband and wife, Krillin and Android 18, signing up for the battle.

The latest episode was titled "Goku the Recruiter Invites Krillin and No. 18" and started off with Goku and Gohan approaching Krillin just after his work as a policeman. The Saiyans got directly to the point and told their friend about the Tournament of Power as reported by Bam! Smack! Pow!

After explaining the rules of the tournament to Krillin, he said that it will be doable but Gohan is still worried about the bald warrior and he insisted a trial match. They relocated into a seaside with towering rocks to serve as the arena and started off their battle. Krillin outsmarted the half-saiyan and winning via ring out. Krillin used his new surprise move, Solar Flarex100 where the blinding powers of the technique are enhanced further.

According to Anime News Network, the highlight of "Dragon Ball Super" Episode 84 is not the match with Gohan but the bout between the two best friends, Goku and Krillin. The two haven't faced each other in a match ever since the World Tournament that they both joined as little kids. At first thought, the match-up was really imbalanced, however, what Krillin lack in power, he made up with amazing strategy.

Krillin even managed to catch Goku off-guard numerous times with his clever use of techniques, fakes and sneaky use of the battlefield which was atop Satan Tower. However, things got serious as Goku transformed into Super Saiyan Blue. The best friends exchanged Kamehame Has and as Krillin was about to be defeated, No. 18 jumped off to help her husband claiming that the tournament is a battle royal and the fight will not be always one on one.

All in all, fans got to see a fragment of what the lesser characters from Universe 7 will show in the tournament. It's exciting to see the amazing and well-thought moves of Krillin and not to mention Master Roshi who is also famous for his tricky moves. With 38 hours left until the tournament, "Dragon Ball Super" Episode 84 ended with Goku now seeking out help to locate No. 17 and convince him to join the team Universe 7.
