Episode 48:
• DragonBall Z Abridged:...
The fact Cell holds a grudge against Tien for the rest of the series after this is amazing
He holds it after death.
Gohan killed Cell
But only Tien scarred him.
Respect is earned. It's why he doesn't respect Vegeta in turn.
Ki Ko how ya doin
@@eternal5140perfect
Ah shit! That was meant for Tien! That's my B.
It’s taking so much willpower not to scream “HE DEAD” in unison with Popo while I’m at work.
I pity your circumstances
I count myself lucky I work at factory job so I can say it to myself playing the scene out in my head
I have given you your 500th like.
it's so cool that Gan wrote the "fuck powerlevels" line, it's such a great summation of Tien's character
Yup
Such a great summation of the series.
Love the little obvious joke with Imperfect Cell: "IS THAT TIEN!?! What? Was Krillin BUSY!?!"
Actually, YEAH Cell he IS busy. Good call.
It's such a good burn too lol
*Semi-Perfect*
@henryevergreen2678 wait how can you be semi-perfect? Your either perfect or your not Vegeta, there's no in-between.
Yeah, busy roasting Yamcha.
"How durable is he? ... how durable am I? ... questions for later." is my second favorite quote in the entire series.
whats the first
All these squares make a circle 😂
And I love that it comes back with him flat out regenerating his whole upper body
@@High-LordHarza although piccolo is 90% sure he cant do that
@@hustler666100We'll figure *that* out later
i love the line "what, was krillin busy?" because the answer is, actually yes, he is.
The shin kikoho scene makes Tien as a character for me. Not even just abridged Tien, but the actual character. It encapsulates the rebellion of a side character in dragon ball against the main characters, and what the side characters are supposed to be.
10/10 boys.
I legitimately still get chills from that scene
EXACTLY!!! The frustration against Toriyama's negligence powers him to a last relevant moment!
That scene is why hes my fav character in z, long after any human has any relevence, after everyone has scaled all the humans into oblivion, tien steps up and is like no fuck you tho. He could have one shot frieza with that. Hell he coulda one shot 1st form cell
Also anyone who says krillen is stronger than tien is insane
@@TheGibbie well.... Technically he is.
"Are you done?! Because I'm coming out now, and I swear to God, if you do that again, I will be so freaking nettled!"
"Kikoho..."
"AH, DAMN IT!"
I like the deadpan in Tien's voice, showing that he didn't care that Cell was gonna be more upset
Cell could have ripped him limb from limb slowly and he would not care, it was worth it
It was the same as with Vegeta xD A game.
I like to think he wasn’t going to blast him again but after Cell said that he just did it out of spite
@sentientmustache8360 Maybe. Maybe not. Hard to get a read on that guy.
I know TFS don't like being referred to as a dub, but Tien's Kikoho is what made everyone consider it that way.
The likes were at 69, but out of pure respect for Tien's moment you're referring to, I ruined it
For me the turning point was actually a number of episodes before, during the scene on the lookout with Kami as he prepares to give up his body.
@@LowkeylieKAMI, I NEED YOU TO TELL ME I CAN LEAVE THE LOOKOUT IF I WANT TO.
It was Kikoho and Piccolo and Kami's conversation before fusing which made me consider it a dub
@@gustavolopes5094 Mr. Popo, you may leave the lookout.
The “This remote’s a lot heavier than I expected” is never not devastating. Spectacular work.
Tien grew his shoulders so much he almost became Samus Aran
Fuckin basketball shoulders
It definitely looks better in Dread.
Franky and Pica from One Piece
If his shoulders got any bigger, Games Workshop would sue
Tien seems like the kind of guy who would like Metroid.
The ad read was also chef’s kiss. Gotta show the filmmaking some love
I usually skip the ad reads cause I'm an asshole, but this one I watched all the way through. 10/10
@@RaechylBlackfyre they generally had me until 0:23. watching all the way through out of respect now lmao
They have the only ad reads I listen to. Amazing
Loved it! (In my mind) Lani being chased by the copyright mafia, who can easily be avoided by using a VPN.
Honestly the story for this Ad was really good. If they wanted to, they can expect it into a short film (like Mr. Business) or something to that idea to put their name out there.
One of my favorite parts of the "Goku vision" joke at the end of this episode is that Goku hears "Prince of all blah blah blah" but he does hear "super saiyan" which means he only cares about the word "saiyan" when its preceded by "super"
He did say he was “insane: from Earth” with Frieza instead of “Saiyan”, so it tracks.
I like to think it’s because he hears “super” and is listening to see if the next word is “Saiyan” or “salad”
@Abdega Souper Salad honestly slaps, though.
@@Lambent_Omega Not as much as Super Sand Legend.
@@megapulsar9244 To Goku it's probably better
Love that he calls him “Tien” before the tri-beam, and exclusively calls him Tenshinhan after the Ki-Ko-Ho. Edit: He calls him Tien after coming back from King Kai’s, that’s my B.
He has so far only call him Tienshinhan in HFIL
That might be a callback to how Gero calls Goku, Son Goku. Like creator, like creation.
Cell just yelling “ANGRYYYYY” always makes me laugh
Ki Ko How ya doing?
Also I:can teleport now 😁 23:55
Perfect…
I love the Surfshark ad btw
Teach me your power.
Did you also learn telepathic communication?
Tiens Kikoho Spam is one of the best things that TFS really brought to abridged
that "Shadow of the Colossus" ost really brought it home.
Very fitting for what Tien was up against.
@@dngr6359 That is one of my all-time favorite games, and I love how the music was used here.
Cell knows what's it like to deal with Guile in street fighter.
This episode honestly feels like the epitome of what dbza was, the humor, the edits, the action, the plot advancement mixed in. Just a perfect episode
a semi perfect episode
So I'm a sound engineer and the sudden zooming in on the soda can popping open was GOLD. I can't tell you how many times I've edited those down in a podcast.
Gotta love how the double entendre of Saiyan armour as contraception during Krillin and Bulma's exchange calls back to Vegeta's accidental fatherhood. "You said you were wearing protection!" "I was wearing my armour!"
His space armor
Meaning that she has literal proof that it doesn't "work".
@@PanAndScanBuddy “We get it, you’re from space”
Damn, I never thought of that...
The goku interpreting vegetas speech as blah blah blah pride blah blah super sayain blah blah is by far my favorite bit in the whole show just perfection
Oh yeah😂😂😂 that f funny as hell😂😂
I wonder how long they'd been sitting on that joke, it feels like it could have been as far back as the Saiyan saga
Fair point; he still got the gist of things, virtually unchanged 😂
One of my favorite episode if for any reason because of Tien getting the love he deserves. The sheer badass line of "WELL YOU KNOW WHAT?! F*** POWER LEVELS F*** SUPER SAIYANS AND F*** YOU!!!!" still gives me goosebumps.
Gan has so many of the most underrated line reads in the show. I hope he revives ATLA:A someday
@@spencerweiss6337 100% agree. Gan killed it in DBZA.
And Gan's delivery is just perfection. He deserves all the praise the guys give him in this video.
Most of my favourite lines in the show somehow involve someone wrecking Cell's sh*t, that scene and the Final Flash scene.
The voice acting is just insane!
The reverd on SHIIIIN KI KO HO mixed with the zoom out shot was wild. That's what really got me
Knowing Tien’s voice actor wrote that line makes it even better imo 😂
Well they wrote tien to be gon. Makes sense his best lines are from the source of their inspiration
The Shadow of the Colossus music in Tien's scene is absolutely perfect. Not only is the "Counterattack" track epic, but it is thematically appropriate because of overcoming overwhelming odds to not defeat but stall out a monster. Tien is basically an ant to Cell, which is the exact feeling one gets in their first playthrough against the Colossi in SOTC, which makes any victory small or large feel amazing.
Absolutely. That soundtrack is one of my favourites of all time, mainly because it does exactly that - an ant against unsurmountable odds.
Kow Otani also did the soundtrack for a Gozilla movie so yup - that’s the feeling they want to convey.
I agree with you, it’s the perfect song for this moment tien knows he’s outmatched but he does not care he’s gonna put up a fight and to quote Tien in DBZA “I am not a spectator! I am a warrior!!”
Don't forget in your canon Namekians can regrow their arm rapidly 24 times in a row, that should be able to fill plenty of holes xD
Don’t forget, a hole in the chest is what killed King Piccolo.
But somehow Piccolo is fine, and Cell will survive losing much more later on.
So I’m guessing namekian regen abilities are tied to power level or something.
@@Death2all546generally they appear to take a certain amount of energy to regen a body part, so in a literal sense, the stronger they are, the smaller a percentage of their power they need to put in to regen an arm. Also on some level it feels like King Piccolo had slowly made himself less and less Namekian over time through the whole demon bit the guys mentioned, while Piccolo, between being a natural namekian egg that happened to possess a part of his father, and the amount of fusions he does later on, he's over twice the namekian King Piccolo was, both genetically and numerically.
As for Cell he's part Frieza so he's functionally immortal if even a cell (pun very much intended) of his body survives, and has infinite stamina Android bits fused into his being by the time he hits Perfect, meaning he can both survive any damage to his physical body, and has the extra energy to be able to regenerate any damage done.
@@Death2all546 King Piccolo's pregnancy interfered with his regen
The running gag of the guys getting mad at Taka for ruining the outro every time is just so much fun
I love how Mark(the editor, at least I think its Mark) leaves in the bits where they're like "god I hope he cuts that" and he's like NAH your tomfoolery is on display for ALL to see
I think the editing added so much to this director's commentary. Having Lani disappear was hilarious.
trippy lol
Popping Lani out and still having his reverbed/distanced voice, A+ absolutely wonderful 😂❤
Hold up.
Taka's hair. Can we talk about Taka's flowing mane?!
My God, it's majestic.
He's also jacked. Like not bodybuilding level but he works out nicely.
I always thought Ganxingba was one of the more underrated voice actors in the TFS Rolodex. Jan Valentine? Unforgettable. Recoome? My favorite dub voice of the character. Jeice? Australian. So of course when he is asked to voice what is arguably one of if not the best moment in DBZA, he fucking delivers.
Jeice is space Australian
His Chilled voice is the funniest thing ever, 100% agree
We desperately need to know if you guys will get most of the people who worked on this together for ep 60, like Masako, Megami, and others.
I belive masak gave his thoughts on season 2s ending
I would love to see it
At the very least, Masako should be there along with Taka
@@Paws42taka is at least on the same continent, masako is in Uk.
Man that would be so awesome. Lord knows we all are wishing for a fourth season, but getting the gang all in the same room for a commentary episode would be so sick. Maybe a hybrid in-person/video call could work
Scott hit it home with what he said about Tien. He puts in so much effort to improve himself, it's inspiring. And he's a good example of the whole "bad guy turn good" thing too that we would get from Piccolo and Vegeta. Even as a kid, I loved how Tien came in and gave it a shot with the Tri-Beam/Kikoho. He knows he probably can't win, but he still tried. Because of this, Tien is in my top 3 favorite characters, behind Future Trunks and Vegeta.
Not only did he know he couldn’t win but he definitely expected to die. Absolute respect because he stepped up to do what needed to be done even at the risk of his own life
@@MrZer093even Abridged Popo would respect him. He hates incompetence but this showing isn’t incompetence of any kind and he gave it his absolute all.
super did him dirty bad
Honestly a lot of people’s biggest beef/question is if vegeta or krillin fumbled more.
But I feel like the real question is why did only handful of the people there + the people who could actually warp in to help do virtually nothing to at least try and save 18 from vegeta and cell?
Like fuck everyone else, cell can’t even sense 18, she could’ve just left or straight up drowned herself in the ocean (or self destructed).
The literal answer for this is just that due to editorial demand and toriyama’s writing style, sometimes in order for something he wants to happen. He just turns the characters into walls of stone that can’t move or speak until after a plot point is met.
I’m not even just talking about the awesome team up fight potential.
Narratively, I feel like people would’ve understood more, if everyone at least TRIED to use everything they had to save 18, even if they still failed.
Trunks is a nice guy, and attempting to kill 18 would obviously just create more conflict, but it’s odd how we don’t even see him attempt or consider just trying for moment.
They don’t even have to be the correct choices, it’s just weird how we hardly seen any of them make ANY choices.
Weirdly enough, vegeta is the main and strongest one there when it came to actually acting in a way that’s consistent to his character.
Its absolutely funny considering Yamcha up until this point was doing the same thing, even going so far as to outperform any of the other humans in trying to train like Vegeta. It's a small factor people forget because Yamcha himself is a forgettable background character but he did stay in 150x Gravity a lot longer than he had any right to without dying. On that technicality alone he is the strongest human, but brawn =/= brains. Tien had both, in spades.
Scott just smoothly dropping some long haired Trunks thirst….
And honestly?
Same.
15:33 The only thing I’d change about that is take out “tubular” and put in “hella tight” to not only keep with the correct decade (late 90’s-mid 00’s vs “tubular” that’s stuck in the 80’s) but also “tight” is a double entendre; _it would be completely in character for Cell._
Also, “boobie bomb!” sounds like a Hellsing Abridged line that was left on the cutting room floor 😂
Congrats on TFS for making ad segments that I will actually watch instead of skipping past. Kudos. Now get yourself to a hospital, Lani.
lmao I second this!
Nah, Lani's fine, he found sprinklers
Hell yeah❤
Yeah that one in HIFL were they have a straight up Jackie Chan style fight was hilarious.
Waiting for Lani to come walking in all bloody from his sponsored Ads. But also, the edits of him popping in and out of reality are funny AF.
Love Lani disappearing at 24:17 and reappearing at 24:36
Imagine Piccolo said: "Nothing, just riding that high horse all day long."
And after 17 asked "What?", Piccolo explains why he was born in long details.
17: Well, shit. I don't know how to respond to that except for respect.
Tien is the biggest, bravest badass in all of Z. He will fight so hard he literally just drops dead. "F*ck power levels, f*ck super Saiyans and f*ck YOU" is a great Tien line because it's a perfect summary of Tien himself.
Once you think about it, Cell's impression of Android 17 is basically Hellsing Abridged's Jan Valentine without the swearing and vulgarity.
THIS!
In all honesty, after some point, I'm sure EVERYONE hears what Goku heard after Vegeta and Trunks got out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and Vegeta goes on his Saiyan rant.
Freeza sure did.
You don’t miss anything if you do hear it. Pride and prince and super sayian stuff lol
Yeah, they would have all learned to just tune him out because it’s just copy-paste.
Kudos to whoever edited Lani out of the video, top tier edit right there
As a music major in college I really love and respect how much you talk about the importance of music in these scenes
no one mentioned Cell yelling "upstart triclops bitch!!!!" and I'm sad. that's one of the best parts of Tien's scene
To be honest, it's a whole smorgasbord of killer and/or funny lines.
Edit: typed "while" instead of "whole"
I work in the Home Theater space, and I can tell you that music and audio is AT LEAST 60% of your watching experience. Music is soooo important! Don't undersell yourself Scott!
People underestimate it so much. Producers underestimate it so much. Just throw in some filler at the last minute and you're golden right?
23:55
Ya'll did not need to put in that much effort for this gag. But you did and now it's my favorite part of the whole video.
Taka giving attention to What If Raditz Turned Good is why I love him so much
THAT EXPLAINS WHY JIREN IS SUCH A MAJOR THREAT NO HAIR
Seeing Taka with his hair undone goes unexpectedly hard! We better see both Lani and Taka headbanging in the future. Otherwise, IM GONNA RIOT!!!!!
Yeah, fuck this city!
Seeing Taka like that is stirring things in me ...
I want him to use his Alucard voice during as well
I NEED to know what his products and routine are to get it that healthy, shiny, and beautiful flow.
@@burn5500 FR bro is MAJESTIC
Unless that amount of hair is Blonde, spiky and electrified, thers no reason to have that much hair. But I respect the commitment to the look, and thats really all that matters
Bro ending a fight scene with the line "Oh good, sprinklers!" Is just top tier writing especially read by a tired Lani 🤣
I will never forget the first time I saw this episode was with a friend and we were sitting in class, and when Tien came out of nowhere and had his show stealing moment, we flipped out and had a hard time keeping our composure and had people looking at us like we were crazy but idc, we got hyped and quoted that moment so many times during school that year 😂😂
2 things about this episode; the first being addressing that 16 being sad over the loss of 17 is a bit of tear jerker. Being that he is indeed an android and isn't programmed to have feelings but learns to care about 17 n 18. Second, I always believed that this version of Chiaotzu not giving a shit anymore, is due to the fact that he's still angry about not getting his sundae so he just stopped caring because he's waiting to die a 3rd time and getting his ice cream.
This is the one I've been waiting for. Until 60, this was probably my favorite episode of DBZA. It's the one I showed my friends to get them into the show! I still remember how we all laughed so hard that we couldn't breathe. I LOVE this episode.
I love the random close-ups of them doing literally any motion like Kaiser opening a can 💀
The Ki Ko Ho scene is both hilarious and badass and I love Gon for that.
There are very few lines that define the entire episode they’re in. There are even fewer that define the character saying them. But there is only one, that is so iconic, it even defines the person it’s being said to. God DAMN, this was a good scene.
I appreciate that, if I recall correctly, this episode was originally named Simple Geometry as a reference to the Triangles into Squares joke later (and the obvious overwatch joke if I have my timing right, I think Overwatch was in Beta at the time).
I appreciate that it actually makes sense geometrically even more. When you spin a triangle around its center point, the shape its corners draw is a square. And you can tell the Tri-beam is spinning because in the shot of it closing on Cell, his three shadows are spinning around him, so it WOULD carve a Square hole into the landscape since it's spinning the entire way down.
Never have I ever clicked on a video so fast in all my life. Let me be abundantly clear: This whole show is awesome. But this is the episode I have been waiting for.
I have to say the surfshark commercial had Lani in a Rick Grimes bites a guy neck out vibe. Real nice.
😄😬😄😬
True Story:
Back when you guys first released this episode, I was sitting in front of my laptop with a bowl of spicy ramen for lunch. The bit at the very beginning when Semi-Perfect Cell is testing out his new lips; it was so damn funny I nearly did a spit-take. I couldn't stop imagining it as Abridged Alucard doing the exact same thing. Made it extra funny to me.🤣
I learned that day not to eat spicy ramen while watching one of your new episodes cuz trying to hold back from spitting a mouthful of that is quite painful.
Also, Taka, your hair is friggin' AMAZING. 🌟Just glorious.🌟
Love to see Taka so much more relaxed. Good to see the real guy behind all the voices we love. ❤
Tien's power to turn triangles into squares is truly astonishing.
Triangles become squares.
Squares become circles.
Where's my circles turning into triangles?? How can we have the complete metamorphosis without CIRCLES TURNING INTO TRIANGLES?!?
Semi Perfect Cell: Now it’s MY time to shine!
Tien: No! It’s mine!
SPC: ….respect.
Seriously I remember first time hearing Gan going all out for this scene and got reminded how talented y’all are as actors. Gan can just steal a scene-AN EPISODE, when he is on point and he does so again here.
That reading of the f*** off from lani is so perfect and hysterical I cannot stop replaying it
Music is 100% the most important part of any scene in any media. It sets the mood and can either heighten or take away from the scene/moment.
Between this, and Totally Not Mark’s in depth review, Dragon Ball fans are eating good today
Hell yeah, it's a good time to be a DBZ Fan.
12:44 beautiful bit, would have fleshed the Kami/Piccolo relationship a bit more, glad it exists here and good editing syncing up with the anime footage.
I feel like people don't talk about the music enough because they choose such good tracks that just complete the scenes
16:41 "He knew this was Tien's last moment so hes going"..
going, going.. he's Gan
This episode is a reason why Tien is one of my mains in FighterZ
This episode is why I picked up Bandai's newer Tien SH Figuart
Way to make me support the official release guys. XD
Also why I got the SH figuarts!
That Surfshark ad was fantastic! Also, Taka's hair is freaking glorious.
In my village there's this eternal, ever present cantina. A food truck. And he sells hot dogs and he's called Takas. I can't get over that.
I love that Semi-Perfect Cell's lip trilling is unintentionally a parody of the "Machine-gun lip flaps" style of dubbing. That's honestly what makes it funniest to me.
"It's like tag...for keeps." One of my favorite lines in the whole series
tfs is literally the only channel i’ll watch sponsored segments for lol, lanni does so good
Can we please get a surf shark series that was too good 😂
Tien’s line is fantastic guys and it’s another example on how y’all have used your love for the series and Hindsight knowledge to make dbza unique and amazing
I love how the music/sound builds in the background as Tien curses out Cell. It does an amazing job building the anticipation and excitement of what we all know is coming
I like the facts that roshi not only had enough money to buy a submarine, but knowing where to buy one online.
K so the editor of these is super underappreciated.
Focusing in on Kaiser opening the can (that was mostly off camera but VERY audible)
Editing Lani out (and making his voice echo) after the pop he made.
I love when lani popped away you can hear him from a far away distance giving his comments and Scott and taka don’t realize he’s gone
Best episode of the whole abridged series and YOU CAN FIGHT ME ON THAT LANI!!!
21:22 That was one of the sole reasons I couldn't wait for the Buu saga
Okay. I've danced around the damned question long enough. Now that Taka is actually there, will we get him singing any of Cell's singing bits during the commentary?
In a world where im drowning in ads, that is how 3:32 to make me not skip an ad. Thank you TFS and everyone on your team
I love how TFS talks about how much they worry about pacing and how they creatively fix it, meanwhile some fully funded series like Young Justice and Dragon Prince have scenes that last 2 minutes and rapidly keep jumping back and forth for no reason.
These guys are GOATs
I cant help but feel like, as this series goes on, Lani and Taka are competing over who has the best hair.
It's not much of a battle once taka loosed the beast
Taka had literal Disney Princess hair. It is beautiful, like gosh.
The lani pop was caught me off guard 😅 S+ Tier editing
Here it is, Wednesday, with no Taka-cut Commentary to watch. It's lonely again
The reason Trunks didn't kill 18 is because in the manga he didn't have a chance to reach her; Cell taiyokened them immediatedly.
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😊😊😊😅😊8th
So glad this is on. Been in the hospital for 2 days and can really use something to lift the spirits. Hope everyone can enjoy their weekend.
Hope you get well soon 😮
@@Lanipator thank you so much. It means a lot hearing positive vibes.
Get well soon
Damn, one of the only times where I wanted to watch the whole ad segment. Awesome work Lani lol
the use of Nettled in this episode actually led to a fun moment later in the day after I first saw this. it was the morning of my fathers marriage to his second wife when I saw it. and part of the reception that evening had a "mad libs" style contest. some got picked randomly to be read on the mic and mine was one. Nettled was on my mind from the episode earlier, so when it asked for a "negative emotion" I put it in and alot of people found it funny
Genuinely astounding how good these ads are.
I love hearing the love you guys have for Kirran and Grant!
I absolutely adore Goku's "You're gonna die." delivery! And then Cell's reaction! It's too good! XD
Love Taka plugging MasakoX's what-ifs. Those things are really good
Full credit for actually putting in effort with the sponsors!! I’ve been loving them; this one especially; but the green screen ones are hilarious too
Tien could have probably obliterated First Form Cell and everyone prior to him at this point with that attack...
You know what, the Ocean Dub Cell voice actor doesn't get enough credit. He doesn't have the same scale of delivery, but he had this sense of elegance. While also rivalling him in other forms outside of the Perfect Cell form.
