Here's my hoarder wizard D&D character, Mortimex, casting a powerful spell. If he had his own lair action, I definitely think he'd bring to life all his stuff.

we got. fatally side tracked

Potoooooooo or variations of Pot-8-Os (1773 – November 1800) was an 18th-century thoroughbred racehorse who won over 30 races and defeated some of the greatest racehorses of his time. He went on to be an important sire, whose leading runners included Epsom Derby winners Waxy, Champion and Tyrant. He is best known for the unusual spelling of his name, pronounced 'Potatoes'.

Dragon Ball Super 113

And now we come to the best part of the whole series. 

The opening of this episode is just the last few minutes of the previous episode, with Caulifla rescuing Goku just so she can fight him herself.  So let me jump to the new part.

Caulifla’s had a chance to recover her strength since she and Kale beat all those Pride Troopers a while back, and now she wants to take on Goku, but not just because he’s an opponent.  Goku’s the one who showed her how to become a Super Saiyan 2, and he told her about Super Saiyan 3, so she needs him to show her how to reach that form.  With Cabba and Hit eliminated, Universe 6 is counting on her now, and she can’t wait around to figure out SSJ3 later.  She needs to get stronger immediately. 

And Goku agrees to help her, but he can’t transform himself because he’s still worn down from fighting Jiren.  He assures Caulifla that he’ll catch up later, but he’s ready to fight her in base form.

So I fucking love this whole fight, because it’s a side of Goku we don’t get to see much of.  Vegeta bonding with Cabba isn’t very special to me, because they’re Saiyans who lived their whole lives among other Saiyans.  It’s nothing special to them.  But for Goku, it’s rare to see him socializing with other Saiyans like this, without Vegeta being involved.  So it’s awesome to see him mentoring two younger Saiyans like this who aren’t his kids.  And so Goku can be this Saiyan version of what Master Roshi is on Earth: an older guy who understands how this stuff works.  I mean, he’s taught people before, but he had the whole “alien warrior from the stars thing” on the side. 

And this is a big deal for Caulifla, because she and the other U6 Saiyans never had the Super Saiyan Legend to inspire them.  My take on these three is that they’re the strongest Saiyans of their universe, probably at least as strong as base form Goku was in Resurrection F.  Remember, Cabba and Vegeta fought evenly in the Destroyer Tournament before Vegeta asked him to transform.  So they’re plenty strong in their own right, but they’ve been missing this important piece of the puzzle, and now, at last, Caulifla can get her own instruction from the Legendary Super Saiyan himself, Goku.

In a perfect world, where Planet Vegeta wasn’t destroyed and Goku could have risen to his true potential and liberated his people from Frieza, this could have been his life.  Teaching other Saiyans how to achieve his transformation, and how to go even further.  I don’t think that’s something Goku has ever considered, and he might not even want such a thing.  The life of a Saiyan messiah probably sounds boring to him.  But I think about it a lot, and here, just this once, he gets a taste of that kind of thing.  And he seems to be having a good time, even if it wasn’t his idea.

As for the fight itself, the story here is that Caulifla can’t beat Goku, even though she’s fighting as SSJ2 and Goku’s still in base form.  Whis explains it simply: Goku’s a skilled martial artist, and so he can use those skills and experience to out-finesse Caulifla’s brawling. 

To her credit, she does manage to hit him a few times, but Goku can still stymie her with old gimcracks like the Afterimage Technique.  Caulifla accuses him of playing tricks, but Goku warns her that if she can’t handle things like Afterimages, then she’s going to have a hard time getting to SSJ3. 

So she tries again, and gradually, Caulifla starts to adapt to Goku’s fighting style. 

This sort of puts lie to what Whis said about Caulifla being a mere street brawler, but so what?  She learns quickly.  Goku didn’t expect her to master SSJ2 so quickly, and here we are.  That’s why he’s taken an interest in her. 

Soon enough, Caulifla has closed the gap, and she warns Goku that he’d better transform soon or he’ll be outmatched.  Goku obliges.

Super Saiyan 2 Goku fgighting Super Saiyan 2 Caulifla.  2 Super 2 Saiyan.  You love to see it. 

So this puts some more pressure on Caulifla, so she whips out her signature ki blast, the Crusher Cannon.   Goku’s surprised to see that she has a move like that in her arsenal, and he’s suitably impressed.

Look at this guy.  He’s great.

Oh, wow, this episode’s only halfway through?  This is how you can tell it rules.  So much happens and we’ve still got a lot of cool shit left to cover.

So these two just put on a clinic.  I love this fight so much.  He’s like a papa tiger teaching his baby tigers how to hunt.  Caulifla starts to get accustomed to fighting at this level, and Kale’s on the sidelines enjoying how much her gal is loving all of this.

So Goku invites Kale to join them, and Caulifla’s totally on board.  They can learn Super Saiyan 3 together.  Kale’s reluctant at first, but she can’t say no to the idea of fighting side-by-side with her true love. 

So hell yeah, Kale is on board for this.  Goku’s like “Okay, girls, start beating the crap out of me!”

Around here, the gods in the U7 camp start to question the wisdom of Goku fighting two Super Saiyans at the same time when he still hasn’t gotten his strength back.  Krillin’s like “Sirs, have you even watched this show before?”

Seriously, Goku’s literally getting his power back as he fights.  It’s beautiful. The problem the gods have is that they can’t see past the Saiyans’ team affiliations.  Beerus doesn’t want Goku to get doubled-teamed by U6, and Champa doesn’t want Caulifla and Kale to get hustled by U7.  What they fail to understand is that all three fighters get something out of this, so everyone wins. 

Vegeta could explain it to them, but he’s busy and they wouldn’t listen to him anyway.  But you’ll listen, so I’ll explain it to you. Is winning this tournament their only goal?  They should all be thinking about the next tournament, and whatever else follows.  If you’re Champa, you should be thinking about how cool it’ll be to roll up for the next competition with three Super Saiyan Blues on the team.  And if you’re Beerus, you should be thinking that Goku’s a fucking miracle, because he got his ass kicked a few minutes ago, and he’s already getting back in the groove while he fights.  Instead of constantly questioning the Saiyans and insulting them for their ways, maybe they should appreciate their talents. 

So the girls start to pressure Goku, and then they bring out their heavy artillery: The POWER OF CHRISTMAS.  Crusher Cannon plus that Green Shit. 

And Goku can hold it off, but he’s gonna need a little something extra to get out of this spot, which was kind of the point of this battle.  Because how are you going to advance beyond Super Saiyan 2 power unless you fight at a Super Saiyan 2 level?

Of course, this is Dragon Ball Super, so we don’t have the cool music for this, but I think our live band can accommodate us...

I AM THE LORD OF THE WASTELAND

A MODERN DAY MAN OF STEEL

I GATHER DARKNESS TO PLEASE ME

AND I COMMAND YOU TO KNEEL

Caulifla and Kale are blown away. 

“That’s metal as fuck!”

“Honestly, I was just going along with this to be supportive, but yeah, this is cool as hell!”

“I love you, Kale.”

“I love you too.”

Of course, Goku’s still not in the proper shape to maintain the form, so he drops back to SSJ2.  But at least the girls got to see it.  Satisfied, they plan to beat Goku and reach that level on their own. 

But this gets Kale all amped up herself, so she tries to do her own epic transformation...

And now we’ve got full-on Berzerker Kale in this fight.

And Goku sure ain’t complaining.

Once again i come to you, angry about something you've done (with love mind you) in ABoT: naming all the spirits after a word that means "something quickly and often badly thrown together". Nothing in this world will equal the yelling I did when I realized Makeshift, Slipshot, and Gimcrack were near synonymous.

(ABoT)

THANK YOU. YES. I WAS PROUD OF THAT ONE.

THE SPIRITS IN RITSU'S HORDE:

All their names are essentially, as you said, "something quickly and often badly thrown together" with just slightly different flavors that reflect in their personalities.

Gimcrack is the kind of shoddy who acts flashy and reliable to sleaze his way into Ritsu's trust. Slipshod is the kind of shoddy who's just careless, lackadaisical, rough. And Makeshift-- and Makeshift-- and Makeshift--

I espy

with my glassy little eye

shiny gimcrack and trinkets

in the fields where I fly.

I fetch them up each

and back home I speed

to my bower and tuck them

‘tween shuttle and reed.

I tender oblation,

then dampen the light.

Acolyte to Honeira:

Thrall to Second Sight.

Sunlight on feathers

and the oversoons’ calls

haul me back from Her temple

where I roam the halls

(a house all of screens

from gossamer spun),

eyes moon-dazzled still,

though greeting the sun.

I alight and attend

Polyhymnia’s task

Refreshed by elixir

poured from Divine flask.

I fly to my loom,

delighted to find

a luminous tapestry,

mine to unwind.

I pull at each thread,

releasing the tale

with each twist and turn,

I unweave the veil.

Sorting draws visions

and spells soon are cast;

Pandora approaches

her dreams and her past.

In the spring of 1667, Hooke went with some friends to go see a play that was apparently a parody of himself.

Thomas Shadwell's Virtuoso was about a natural philosopher named Nicholas Gimcrack who invented nothing of use and wasted all of his time on comical experimental pursuits. He was also a huge braggart who misappropriated the work of other scientists and had a wide range of interests, from air pressure to blood transfusion and microscopy to space travel.

Even though the character satirized the Royal Society as a whole, the majority of the author's inspiration was clearly drawn from Micrographia, and it was clear to everyone who knew Hooke that he was the intended target.

Even though most people thought the play was funny, it was nothing short of mortifying for Hooke, hearing an audience laugh at a mockery of his life's work.

He rarely ever expressed anything emotional in his diary, but when he got home he wrote: "Damned Dogs. Vindica Me Deus (God avenge me). People almost pointed", so no doubt he was recognized on the night he attended, which only added to the trauma and humiliation. His coffee house friends also couldn't refrain from smirking at him after that.

It bothered him so much that he grumbled about it for a whole month and even purchased a copy of the play in print, probably to scrutinize it further.
