Personally, I like Dragon Ball better than Z because back then you didn't have to be a Saiyan to be relevent. In Z, they made the Saiyans too strong so all human characters were kinda just there for the occasional punch or little quip.
***** Well, just because there's a story explanation doesn't make it interesting. Tien and even Krillin were interesting in the original DB series because they were still powerful enough to contribute to solving the conflict. Making the Saiyans the only characters strong enough to fight the villains inherently makes the relevant hero cast smaller and more likely to become stale.
Fun Fact: in the Portuguese dub Piccolo was called Satan's Little Hearth. I got in trouble with the nuns at school when me and my friends were saying how cool Satan was.
I like Amanda being there, it's a nice change of pace with someone who asks the questions for the people who don't know what is going on. That being said, I just overall like her being around
Am I the only one that prefers Dragon Ball and not Z? Because Dragon Ball actually shows the progress in the fighter's skills and that Goku wasn't always the strongest at first, he still had to learn how the fight and to control his powers properly. Also I like how new skills and attacks were shown in the the fights in the episodes and the opponents would be incredibly baffled at the new tricks. Whereas in Z, it's all Goku and even Vegeta becomes helpless after making a badass entrance.
5:43-5:50 Ocean Productions did dub the original Dragon Ball, but it was only the first 13 episodes. The Ocean dub of Dragon Ball was released on VHS tapes and the collection is called "The Saga of Goku".
I remember, I started watching DBZ in the summer of 2005 when they started showing the uncut episodes. I was hooked on the show at that point. Of course as the years went on, I started watching it less and less. At this point, I haven't seen an episode since about a year and a half ago.
Dragon Ball GT: Goku Time. Also, rocked a wiki. Piccolo chose to stay dead over the Black Star balls. I think the explanation (based on Gohan at least) is that hybrids have Saiyan power, but uninhibited human emotions, so they go super easily. Doesn't explain why they're just as strong no matter how diluted it gets.
I was introduced to the Namek Saga, my brother watched it every time on Toonami when I came home from middle school and I was hooked watching Saiyan Saga - Freeza Saga Vegeta became my favorite character and still is today. They finally got to doing Garlic Jr. and so on from then, I taped every episode on VHS, I'm now 25 own DBZ, the movies, DBZ Kai all on DVD and still love DragonBallZ to this day waiting for the new 2013 DBZ movie. People complain about DBZ filler and powering up for eps.
One theme I always have during these retrospectives with cast images is assigning each commentator a character in the image. Who would you guys give? Johnny: Goku Ryan: Vegeta Lewis (not present): Piccolo Ted: Krillin Amanda: Gohan
GT is more like Shadow the Hedgehog: generally love-it or hate-it, unnecessary (now), and changes the formula a bit too much for the liking of some people. DBE is worse than all of those. Nothing is redeeming about it. At least 06 had an awesome soundtrack.
I thought of it as this: DB= Genesis games DBZ(Vegeta/Freeza)= SA1 DBZ(Cell/Buu)= SA2 DBGT= Heroes(Some love, some hate) DB Evolution= 06 Battle of Gods= Generations(goes back to it's roots)
Hey Brainscratch since on December 3 is the 30th anniversary of Dragon Ball I was wondering if you were going to play a DBZ game to celebrate if not I can donate any DBZ game for you guys to commentate over.
What's also funny is the name changes in Dragon Power for the NES. Bulma was changed to Nora, Oolong became Pudgy, Roshi became Hermit, Yamcha became Lancer, the Kamehameha was the Wind Wave and the Dragon Balls became Crystal Balls. The only one to retain their original name was Goku. Figure that out. Also, in the game, Roshi looks like Jackie Chun, but in the manual, he just looks like Roshi.
It's funny that you mention how Tapion looks like Chrono from Chrono Trigger; The Artwork and characters were drawn by Akira Toriyama, who of course, is the creator of Dragonball...
actually ted Trunks killed Frieza, Gohan killed Cell Piccolo killed Raditz, really Goku only really killed Majin Buu and even then that was with the help of the entirety of earth and its energy.
+Zyad48 - The Warrior of Evil and in super the only one hes killed was frieza and if frieza didnt do that desperation attack vegeta would have gotten the kill in gt goku technikly had help from others like in the baby saga he had to gain energy from the others to beat baby, omega shenron he had to beat using energy and help from the entire universe and super 17 android 18 helped goku
Rachel Herbst i still find it bullshit that vegeta didnt get that kill... now as for GT, he is the one who ultimately killed baby, he fired that finishing kamehameha wave at baby and blasted him into the sun he killed buu and omega with the spirit bombs as for 17... yeah I guess thats ONE fight he didn't get the kill in on his own, although that whole fight was pretty fucked anyway...
like how goku was being stupid as they mentioned also i should probably say this goku did see what super 17 was doing when he was firing normal ki blasts as a super saiyan 4 so goku thought maybe firing a 10x kamehameha would make super 17 i guess overload from the amount of energy but it failed and then he for some reason thought of trying to use the attack again but he decides not to and yes as johnny mentioned goku did the self destruct technikly which didnt kill him due to super 17s barrier move but goku was at a state where he couldnt even move his pinky then he somehow has enough energy to do a super dragon fist and then a kamehameha
Rachel Herbst like I said, the super 17 fight is completely fucked :P if they looked at all the inconsistencies and actually TRIED then I think it could have been a lot better you know what? that goes for most of GT honestly even though I'm not THAT harsh on GT as much as other people, i dont see it as THAT bad but I wont try and hide issues that the show has :/
The Buu saga is actually my favorite saga in the show but that probably comes from me watching DBZ long after it was all released so I just binged the whole thing online. But I can't help it it's SO GOOD if you watch it that way, Buu is easily the best villain in the show and the arc itself is filled to the brim with awesome moments.
The second Legacy of Goku game is *WAY* better than the first. It's night and day with those games. Buu's Fury is good too, but Legacy of Goku 2 is my personal favorite of the LOG series. Fuck the first game, though.
I'm not sure if this has been posted before but even if it has I'm posting it anyway. I live in the UK and we got the Ocean dub for the most part. I remember it being that dub since they called the "Instant Transmission" the "Instant Translocation". I believe when they aired the movies they were the Big Green dub since I remember calling Piccolo by that name.
Honestly guys I think you were way too harsh on the show. Really guys? Watching it too riff on it? Dragonball just as an entire series is so charming and entertaining, there's nothing wrong with that especially with the new DBZ Kai which cuts out all the filler. I admit the Buu saga wasn't good, but still.
2:12:50 So, I checked out that song, "Only So Much Oil in the Ground" (WTF), and holy crap it sounds like Saturday Night Live!...I'm starting to understand why that Kenji Yamamoto composer stared to get hit with copyright infringement claims a couple of years back...
yes I agree the history of trunks is the best then fusion reborn then broly its fun too the first one then he got annoying one sequel I understand but two and hes a monster and he fights gotten and trunks again no gohan goku piccolo vegeta even in the movie wtf!!!!! we get krillin and hercule and a guy named jaguar who we never see again and bio broly sucks ass
Well Ted first appeared in Resident Evil 4 which was 2 years ago and joined around the Castlevania Symphony of the Night commentary which was last September so it has been about a year, but I'm amazed that time has gone by so quickly, yet it feels like they've always been a group of four.
big green dead that's a sentence lol what every word all of three of them is wrong lol oh big green perished the others survived when they clearly are being shown on the screen being murdered by the androids whatever Malaysians bad too they used the dub of big green as their base to make a script they failed cooler is now kurrara
A TV special is classified as a TV movie even if it's the same length as a normal episode. and then if it's released as a DVD it's even more of a movie
Fairy Tail retrospective would be pretty damn cool, any of you tried FMA brotherhood (or the original series) with perhaps an idea for a retrospective of it?
Dragon Ball Z on YTV with that awesome Canadian intro that was compiled of DBZ movie clips and not clips from the series, the exception being Nappa ripping through the wings of a jet.
That hard work means more than talent and birthright. But then it's all thrown out when it turns out that Naruto is basically a descendant of every big shot in the Naruto universe and is only powerful because of them.
Ah with Dragonball Z and G gundam on the 90s Toonami. Bring back so many memories into my head. Love when i ran home from school just to sit down wait until 4 or 5 to watch the two shows. Best moment ever. 90s rule. Sorry me and my nostalgia.
here in Argentina they never changed the voices (except gohan becuase he grew up) and there was blood in all the three dragonballs episodes and in the movies
56:52 Completely off topic from Dragon Ball, but I watched this back before I watched any anime besides this. And coming back to it almost 8 years later, I really want to see Ted and Ryan do a Fairy Tail retrospective now that it's over. I didn't even know you were fans of it.
I remember watching DBZ as kid with my 3 sisters, I was introduce to it to the Frieza Arc and Cell Arc. Then the gameplay of Budokai from a little friend of mine, I sweaaar DBZ is following me where ever I go. I was introduced to this frachise in 1999 I believe
Piccolo dying might have been because Goku had no energy, but he also chooses not to come back to life to keep the Black Star Dragon Balls gone. And to be more specific, Piccolo went to heaven when he died, but then got himself sent to hell so he could Goku out of there and back to Earth because Goku was in hell for some reason to fight Freeza and Cell. And then for some reason Piccolo has to stay in Hell.
Favorite Fights: Goku vs Cell & Goku vs Kid Buu. Those fights were fucking awesome. DBZ will forever be my favorite anime and the Funimation dub's music and voice acting kicks ass
one movie you guys missed out on was erdicate the sayian. It was made a long while ago but didnt come out till a few years ago in some video game for the xbox 360
I know SOMEONE's asked this already, but how come Lewis hasn't been in any of the recent videos like the Holiday Livestream, the WiiU First Impressions Video, the Message to the Fans video, and this 'ere Retrospective? Just curious.
the problem with it is that it just goes completely against everything goes is and says as a character,leaving his family forever is not something he would do
One thing that has always confused me is Vegeta's relationship with Bulma. When Vegeta and Bulma got married, it was when Vegeta still wanted to defeat Goku, and he didn't try to save her when Dr. Gero destroyed her plane to cause a diversion and escape. Sure, Vegeta admits that he cares about Bulma in the Buu Saga, but why did he marry her during the 3 years before the Android conflict? Just curious.
The namekian dragon balls originally could only bring back 1 person per wish in the Frieza Saga but the explanation in the Buu Saga when they bring back Earth and everybody who was killed is that after the Namekian race was almost wiped out by Frieza they increased the power of the dragon so they can wish back everyone
Trunks going back and killing the androids/Cell is not filler, and was also included in Kai as the last "special" episode (Mostly because of the Tsunami) Also, why exactly doesn't it make sense? :P
I have a really bad VHS rip of the first Harmony Gold dub that I got off some sketchy website. It is amazing, especially that many famous voice actors started on Harmony Gold, such as Wendee Lee voicing Bulma.
in Budokai Tenkaichi 3 Chris Sabat and Sean(whatever his last name is, point is goku and vegeta's voice actors...) actually have lines during the Return of Cooler battle that makes them sound worn out, I think one of them said "I'm so glad its finally over" like not from the stance of like, oh finally cell is defeated happy sigh, more of the relief that he doesn't have to fucking fight mecha cooler anymore XD
Personally, I like Dragon Ball better than Z because back then you didn't have to be a Saiyan to be relevent. In Z, they made the Saiyans too strong so all human characters were kinda just there for the occasional punch or little quip.
***** Well, just because there's a story explanation doesn't make it interesting.
Tien and even Krillin were interesting in the original DB series because they were still powerful enough to contribute to solving the conflict. Making the Saiyans the only characters strong enough to fight the villains inherently makes the relevant hero cast smaller and more likely to become stale.
Dasho Frainbow so fucking true
The only human character that I felt became useless until the buu saga where everyone would become useless was yamcha
papershadow69 but Tien nearly killed Cell.
Dragon Ball is better than Z in every way. It's okay to prefer it over Z. That just means you're a true fan :)
Fun Fact: in the Portuguese dub Piccolo was called Satan's Little Hearth.
I got in trouble with the nuns at school when me and my friends were saying how cool Satan was.
stoneString93 i wonder why...
1:23:11
"Howdy folks, I'm Android 13! Look at my trucker hat!"
"I was going through a phase!"
it's too bad that at this point in time, those episode hadn't come out yet so they couldn't reference them
*****
You're kidding me. ARE THERE ANYMORE OF YOU THAT WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT?!
Kami- “Old Green”
King Piccolo- “Evil Green”
Piccolo Jr- “Big Green”
Nail- “Big Green #2”
Dende- “Little Green”
Super Kami Guru- “THICC Green”
This is a little old but The History of Trunks and Bardock: The Father of Goku are TV specials, not movies. That's why they're not in the movie pack.
R.I.P. Akira Toriyama
Good retrospective, sure wish it was JUST Ryan and Johnny but whatever...
I'm cool with Ted
Finally. Someone agrees with me that Goku vs. Vegeta was the best fight. IMO the others dragged their own feet out for waaaaayy Oolong.
I like Amanda being there, it's a nice change of pace with someone who asks the questions for the people who don't know what is going on.
That being said, I just overall like her being around
This is my favorite retro, and I hope you guys continue doing this sooner because I'm really loving them.
I started watching at the android saga. And I remember staying up late in anticipation for the last episode of the cell saga. Ah, memories :)
Am I the only one that prefers Dragon Ball and not Z? Because Dragon Ball actually shows the progress in the fighter's skills and that Goku wasn't always the strongest at first, he still had to learn how the fight and to control his powers properly. Also I like how new skills and attacks were shown in the the fights in the episodes and the opponents would be incredibly baffled at the new tricks. Whereas in Z, it's all Goku and even Vegeta becomes helpless after making a badass entrance.
"then in tenkaichi 3 they give him a ssj3 form and it looks ridiculous"
mistaking Raging Blast for tenkaichi 3 now Ryan? -.-
I may not like Amanda as much as the other guys (NO HOMO) but God dammit her laugh in the previous part of Shadow the Hedgehog...just so adorable. *_*
Legacy of Goku 2 and Buu's fury were actually REALLY good :P
I like Amanda she proves that girl gamers are not just in legends
"but what about Old Lady Frieza"
omfg
XD, that fucking sentence is hysterical when you think hard about it
5:43-5:50 Ocean Productions did dub the original Dragon Ball, but it was only the first 13 episodes. The Ocean dub of Dragon Ball was released on VHS tapes and the collection is called "The Saga of Goku".
The Uncut English Dub of Kai is IMO the definitive version of Z
Yup, completely agree. It's the best defense against those who think it's just a bunch of fighting with no substance whatsoever.
MrEffectfilms It's not helping when you have to go to the uncut dub of a remake of the second series just to prove it's good.
I still prefer the original but I love Kai.
Originally funimation will always hold my heart
I remember, I started watching DBZ in the summer of 2005 when they started showing the uncut episodes. I was hooked on the show at that point. Of course as the years went on, I started watching it less and less. At this point, I haven't seen an episode since about a year and a half ago.
DBZ is one of the few anime shows where I actually enjoy the filler
Dragon Ball GT: Goku Time.
Also, rocked a wiki. Piccolo chose to stay dead over the Black Star balls.
I think the explanation (based on Gohan at least) is that hybrids have Saiyan power, but uninhibited human emotions, so they go super easily.
Doesn't explain why they're just as strong no matter how diluted it gets.
To me, Amanda's haters are more annoying.
Tagmon74 i don't hate her, either
Tagmon74 she's kinda socially awkward, but then again who isn't
white knight lol
She seems annoying to me.
I like Amanda. I think she adds to the comentary.
Ryan:"Porn, I'm watching porn"
omfg that line from Ryan is cracking me up XD
+Zyad48 - The Warrior of Evil Timecode pls XD
Christian J. Perez around 58:45 XD
I was introduced to the Namek Saga, my brother watched it every time on Toonami when I came home from middle school and I was hooked watching Saiyan Saga - Freeza Saga Vegeta became my favorite character and still is today. They finally got to doing Garlic Jr. and so on from then, I taped every episode on VHS, I'm now 25 own DBZ, the movies, DBZ Kai all on DVD and still love DragonBallZ to this day waiting for the new 2013 DBZ movie. People complain about DBZ filler and powering up for eps.
*sees image*
Johnny is Goku, Ryan is Vegeta, Ted is Gohan, and Amanda is Yamcha.
Johnny is goku, Ryan is Vegeta, Ted is krillin and Amanda is Bulma
One theme I always have during these retrospectives with cast images is assigning each commentator a character in the image. Who would you guys give?
Johnny: Goku
Ryan: Vegeta
Lewis (not present): Piccolo
Ted: Krillin
Amanda: Gohan
papershadow69 Tein: Gareth
Chaotzu (or however it's spelled): Nathan
Yamcha: Elliot
King Kai: Clement
Frieza: Tom
So in short, GT is the sonic 06 for dagonball. Had potential, but failed miserably.
Unlike 06, it's worth a viewing to forge one's own opinion.
If GT is Sonic 06, then Evolution must be the Sonic Labyrinth or 3-D Blast(or ANY Game Gear game)
GT is more like Shadow the Hedgehog: generally love-it or hate-it, unnecessary (now), and changes the formula a bit too much for the liking of some people.
DBE is worse than all of those. Nothing is redeeming about it. At least 06 had an awesome soundtrack.
I thought of it as this:
DB= Genesis games
DBZ(Vegeta/Freeza)= SA1
DBZ(Cell/Buu)= SA2
DBGT= Heroes(Some love, some hate)
DB Evolution= 06
Battle of Gods= Generations(goes back to it's roots)
God don't compare Dragon ball to the "sonic" series.
the first epsiode i ever saw was when cell explained his backstory to piccolo and from then on i was hooked
0:20
Uh...I don't hate you Amanda.
She grew on me
Great series! I Started watching this anime back in 2005 and been into it ever since.
Hey Brainscratch since on December 3 is the 30th anniversary of Dragon Ball I was wondering if you were going to play a DBZ game to celebrate if not I can donate any DBZ game for you guys to commentate over.
In dragon ball online, Andoid 9 was revealed to be commander Red post cyborg-fication
Everybody do the Ryan thing
What's also funny is the name changes in Dragon Power for the NES.
Bulma was changed to Nora, Oolong became Pudgy, Roshi became Hermit, Yamcha became Lancer, the Kamehameha was the Wind Wave and the Dragon Balls became Crystal Balls.
The only one to retain their original name was Goku. Figure that out.
Also, in the game, Roshi looks like Jackie Chun, but in the manual, he just looks like Roshi.
burger orgy
Old Lady Freeza and Raspy Gohan are best Freeza and Gohan
***** Nah, I still enjoy Linda Young as Freeza. I agree with you on Kid Gohan though
You mean Frieza
I’m not kidding
@MediaMaster 263 I agree
It's funny that you mention how Tapion looks like Chrono from Chrono Trigger; The Artwork and characters were drawn by Akira Toriyama, who of course, is the creator of Dragonball...
actually ted Trunks killed Frieza, Gohan killed Cell
Piccolo killed Raditz, really Goku only really killed Majin Buu and even then that was with the help of the entirety of earth and its energy.
+Zyad48 - The Warrior of Evil and in super the only one hes killed was frieza and if frieza didnt do that desperation attack vegeta would have gotten the kill
in gt goku technikly had help from others like in the baby saga he had to gain energy from the others to beat baby, omega shenron he had to beat using energy and help from the entire universe and super 17 android 18 helped goku
Rachel Herbst i still find it bullshit that vegeta didnt get that kill...
now as for GT, he is the one who ultimately killed baby, he fired that finishing kamehameha wave at baby and blasted him into the sun
he killed buu and omega with the spirit bombs
as for 17... yeah I guess thats ONE fight he didn't get the kill in on his own, although that whole fight was pretty fucked anyway...
like how goku was being stupid as they mentioned also i should probably say this goku did see what super 17 was doing when he was firing normal ki blasts as a super saiyan 4 so goku thought maybe firing a 10x kamehameha would make super 17 i guess overload from the amount of energy but it failed and then he for some reason thought of trying to use the attack again but he decides not to and yes as johnny mentioned goku did the self destruct technikly which didnt kill him due to super 17s barrier move but goku was at a state where he couldnt even move his pinky then he somehow has enough energy to do a super dragon fist and then a kamehameha
Rachel Herbst like I said, the super 17 fight is completely fucked :P
if they looked at all the inconsistencies and actually TRIED then I think it could have been a lot better
you know what? that goes for most of GT honestly
even though I'm not THAT harsh on GT as much as other people, i dont see it as THAT bad but I wont try and hide issues that the show has :/
if there was one character i liked in gt it be nouva shenron which strangely hit from dragon ball super feels similar as
The Buu saga is actually my favorite saga in the show but that probably comes from me watching DBZ long after it was all released so I just binged the whole thing online. But I can't help it it's SO GOOD if you watch it that way, Buu is easily the best villain in the show and the arc itself is filled to the brim with awesome moments.
Saiyan and Cell saga are mine
The second Legacy of Goku game is *WAY* better than the first. It's night and day with those games. Buu's Fury is good too, but Legacy of Goku 2 is my personal favorite of the LOG series. Fuck the first game, though.
I know! LoG 2 doesn't just give you Goku, but you also get Gohan, Piccolo, Vegeta, AND Trunks (as well as somebody else as a secret character).
c0mf0rta61ynum6 Not only that, but it plays so much more fluidly than LoG 1. Everything, and I mean *everything* from LoG 1 is improved upon in LoG 2.
I'm not sure if this has been posted before but even if it has I'm posting it anyway. I live in the UK and we got the Ocean dub for the most part. I remember it being that dub since they called the "Instant Transmission" the "Instant Translocation". I believe when they aired the movies they were the Big Green dub since I remember calling Piccolo by that name.
Honestly guys I think you were way too harsh on the show. Really guys? Watching it too riff on it? Dragonball just as an entire series is so charming and entertaining, there's nothing wrong with that especially with the new DBZ Kai which cuts out all the filler.
I admit the Buu saga wasn't good, but still.
It's perfectly fine to enjoy something and notice it's flaws at the same time.
2:12:50
So, I checked out that song, "Only So Much Oil in the Ground" (WTF), and holy crap it sounds like Saturday Night Live!...I'm starting to understand why that Kenji Yamamoto composer stared to get hit with copyright infringement claims a couple of years back...
JoeCoolMaverick It’s funnier when you realize that Lenny Pickett (who played on the recording with Tower of Power) is the musical director of SNL now.
Movie 12 Fusion reborn is prob the best movie of the original 13.
yes I agree the history of trunks is the best then fusion reborn then broly its fun too the first one then he got annoying one sequel I understand but two and hes a monster and he fights gotten and trunks again no gohan goku piccolo vegeta even in the movie wtf!!!!! we get krillin and hercule and a guy named jaguar who we never see again and bio broly sucks ass
Well Ted first appeared in Resident Evil 4 which was 2 years ago and joined around the Castlevania Symphony of the Night commentary which was last September so it has been about a year, but I'm amazed that time has gone by so quickly, yet it feels like they've always been a group of four.
Big Green dub was the worst dub.
oh god big green
I thought it was fucking hilarious how both Goku and Vegeta sounded almost like Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star.
big green dead that's a sentence lol what every word all of three of them is wrong lol oh big green perished the others survived when they clearly are being shown on the screen being murdered by the androids whatever Malaysians bad too they used the dub of big green as their base to make a script they failed cooler is now kurrara
Big green was awful, but at least you could understand the speech and the names didn't change mid-movie. That _other_ awful dub cannot make this claim
Let that child alone
My first episode of Z was Garlic Jr. Although, I did read some of the manga and I played Burst Limit prior so....
I kinda liked GT DON'T HATE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GT is great
Oh my god. This whole video was worth it for the ending of the SNLxDBZ thing. Oh my god. You guys need to parody that.
I brought Broly: The legendary super saiyan to school in 4th grade and there were SOO many fights during recess
Over an anime movie? If so, this is why I never bring anything to school unless if it's needed for school!!
I can sit, watch and listen to your commentaries but over 2 hours of you guys talking about Dragon Ball, sorry just not gonna happen.
Thanks to me living in the UK, I grew up with the Canadian Dub back in 2004-2007. I still have a soft spot for it.
It's nice that Kai just ends after the cell saga.
1:16:48 Canadian intro
Scott Morgan did a lot of the American DBZ music that Faulconer took credit over, so don't forget about him.
GT is no longer cannon, GT is no longer cannon, GT is no longer CANNNNONN! and Akira Toriyama can't deny!!!!
A TV special is classified as a TV movie even if it's the same length as a normal episode.
and then if it's released as a DVD it's even more of a movie
Fairy Tail retrospective would be pretty damn cool, any of you tried FMA brotherhood (or the original series) with perhaps an idea for a retrospective of it?
Dragon Ball Z on YTV with that awesome Canadian intro that was compiled of DBZ movie clips and not clips from the series, the exception being Nappa ripping through the wings of a jet.
That hard work means more than talent and birthright.
But then it's all thrown out when it turns out that Naruto is basically a descendant of every big shot in the Naruto universe and is only powerful because of them.
You seem to be completely brushing Super buu and Kid buu to the side. They are all different sides of the same character.
Well, Piccolo is the tallest of the Z-Warriors, by a few inches.
Ah with Dragonball Z and G gundam on the 90s Toonami. Bring back so many memories into my head. Love when i ran home from school just to sit down wait until 4 or 5 to watch the two shows. Best moment ever. 90s rule. Sorry me and my nostalgia.
here in Argentina they never changed the voices (except gohan becuase he grew up) and there was blood in all the three dragonballs episodes and in the movies
I have a habit of listening to your commentaries while playing Call of Duty.
"Korin was changed to Whiskers the Wondercat"
oh
fuck
struggling
to
hold
back
laughter
...
PFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTT HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA XDDDD
53:20 Ted, you missed a pun opportunity there...Drag-on Ball. Lol
I know I'm three years late, but play Raging Blast. Freaking love that game.
I play both Raging Blast games for the sound effects. XD
56:52
Completely off topic from Dragon Ball, but I watched this back before I watched any anime besides this. And coming back to it almost 8 years later, I really want to see Ted and Ryan do a Fairy Tail retrospective now that it's over. I didn't even know you were fans of it.
i have to thank dbzk and bt3 for getting me into the franchise even though i didn't know shit about dbz
Same with Dragon Ball Origins 2, Attack of the Saiyans, & BT2.
Seems that emotion drives DBZ I I've that! It's truly a great show!
I remember watching DBZ as kid with my 3 sisters, I was introduce to it to the Frieza Arc and Cell Arc. Then the gameplay of Budokai from a little friend of mine, I sweaaar DBZ is following me where ever I go. I was introduced to this frachise in 1999 I believe
Piccolo dying might have been because Goku had no energy, but he also chooses not to come back to life to keep the Black Star Dragon Balls gone.
And to be more specific, Piccolo went to heaven when he died, but then got himself sent to hell so he could Goku out of there and back to Earth because Goku was in hell for some reason to fight Freeza and Cell. And then for some reason Piccolo has to stay in Hell.
Haha, it seemed to me that Ted didn't know they were still recording when he made that comment about the ending being smooth
Favorite Fights: Goku vs Cell & Goku vs Kid Buu. Those fights were fucking awesome. DBZ will forever be my favorite anime and the Funimation dub's music and voice acting kicks ass
one movie you guys missed out on was erdicate the sayian. It was made a long while ago but didnt come out till a few years ago in some video game for the xbox 360
This was already the best day ever. Now my favorite internet personalities talking about my favorite anime. Holy shit :D
I love Amanda's insanity, or Manda as I call her.
Could ou guys do a retrospective on Fullmetal Alchemist? I'm just getting in the series and I know that you guys like it.
I know SOMEONE's asked this already, but how come Lewis hasn't been in any of the recent videos like the Holiday Livestream, the WiiU First Impressions Video, the Message to the Fans video, and this 'ere Retrospective? Just curious.
the problem with it is that it just goes completely against everything goes is and says as a character,leaving his family forever is not something he would do
Ryan or Johnny: have either of you played the card game, specifically the Score version?
johnny was right, piccolo stayed because he didn't want to have anyone miss use the black star balls and if he dies hey go away. ryan you fail
She's here cause they want her to be. And she'll be on the Mario Retrospective as well.
One thing that has always confused me is Vegeta's relationship with Bulma. When Vegeta and Bulma got married, it was when Vegeta still wanted to defeat Goku, and he didn't try to save her when Dr. Gero destroyed her plane to cause a diversion and escape. Sure, Vegeta admits that he cares about Bulma in the Buu Saga, but why did he marry her during the 3 years before the Android conflict? Just curious.
Jai: So How bout that Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans? there wasn't an english version apart from the subtitle translation but still.
They said namek would explode in 5 mins but takes TEN FREAKING EPISODES!!
The namekian dragon balls originally could only bring back 1 person per wish in the Frieza Saga but the explanation in the Buu Saga when they bring back Earth and everybody who was killed is that after the Namekian race was almost wiped out by Frieza they increased the power of the dragon so they can wish back everyone
He hasn't been feeling well recently, so if it isn't a conversation he's interested in he's decided to take off.
Just so you guys know - Bardock: Father of Goku and History of Trunks aren't movies. They were TV specials, hence them being separate from the movies.
Trunks going back and killing the androids/Cell is not filler, and was also included in Kai as the last "special" episode (Mostly because of the Tsunami)
Also, why exactly doesn't it make sense? :P
Bardock and trunks aren't included in the packs because they are actually considered "specials" not "movies"
Also johnny where can find the dragon ball gt score soundtrack. Also the moment of Spirit Bomb in the Super Android 13 movie
There's a difference though, she doesn't ask to be in specific videos but so much as Brainscratch invites her to certain videos.
Naruto had a message? What was it, accepting other people no matter what they are? I genuinely can't remember.
I have a really bad VHS rip of the first Harmony Gold dub that I got off some sketchy website. It is amazing, especially that many famous voice actors started on Harmony Gold, such as Wendee Lee voicing Bulma.
so are we going to see a Sailormoon retrospective bsc crew?
She's just a guest, Johnny said there will not be anymore permanent members joining the group.
in Budokai Tenkaichi 3 Chris Sabat and Sean(whatever his last name is, point is goku and vegeta's voice actors...) actually have lines during the Return of Cooler battle that makes them sound worn out, I think one of them said "I'm so glad its finally over" like not from the stance of like, oh finally cell is defeated happy sigh, more of the relief that he doesn't have to fucking fight mecha cooler anymore XD
Christopher Sabat and Sean Schemmel.
