I like how Goku's million IQ plan allowed him to manipulate everyone around him even his enemies because he knew both Vegeta and Cell perfectly but he messed up because he knew too little about his own son.
For sure. (He has shown a couple of times before that he is actually smart and is just messing with everyone) No matter how much I love the ending scene, the music and the overal the feel of it. There is a small thing I wished they had done. At the very end when Goku was shown, he should have made a little smile.
Not little about his son, he miss understood why his son fights as goku has seen the potential and aftermaths him doing fantastic even spending year together it didn’t show him fully hating fight
It's a special club for people who shared the same experience as he did. As in: "Yamaha, shit happened on Namek, people died, fuck off" Seriously, Namek was literally space 'Nam.

its funny how for me, watching the series originally as it came out I felt Cell was the first character to really replace Nappa in terms of big funny guy. so when I realized it was Taka it made more sense.
I absolutely LOVE that they played Gohan's transformation completely straight. It's a super powerful moment and it solidifies this series into something special. I got literal chills the first time I saw it. I still do. It's a love letter to DBZ. SO GOOD.
TFS are huge fans of the original Japanese version and I personally consider that scene (along with a handful of others) to be better than all of the other English versions because it's a more faithful rendition of the original Japanese
It’s part of why I love DBZA. Dragon Ball was going to be very hard to adapt because it’s so iconic. You’d really have to do a series like that justice. The first SSJ transformation and Gohan’s SSJ2 transformation are indisputably the most iconic moments in all of anime, and I’m glad they treated it with the seriousness it deserved.
@@itachisusanoo3689 falconer was good when i was a small lad. But being older that original score just hits different. Especially the song that plays the following ep where gohan transforms long form...
“Gohan. Listen to me. There are some foes who cannot be reasoned with. You are allowed to fight on the side of justice. Seize upon your anger. Wield it like a weapon. I understand your reluctance, but holding it in is pointless. Gohan, I love the animals and everything about nature. Protect them. For me.....they need you”
See the original story wasn’t bad but this is more encompassing as to the whole world and how evil will triumph as long as good men keep doing nothing. Very potent message, especially for todays age where it feels like dark times are coming and all people seem to wanna do is whine about it instead of taking actions
There are actually a few more things to watch from DBZA! - Celloween - Christmas Tree of Might - Plan to eradicate Christmas - Episode of Bardock - The Epilogue to EP60 - Dragon Shortz - HIFL Also Fun TFS related projects: - Hellsing Ultimate Abridged - Final Fantasy 7 Machinabridged. I just write it down here as a reminder, even if i´m repeating myself and many others here, but can´t hurt to see it double or triple. :D
By the way, that song at the end of the episode is actually a cover of the actual song that was used in that same scene in the Japanese version, and it is beautiful
24:27 no matter how many times I see this scene it nvr fails to give me goosebumps... The shear power and pride in his eyes with the tears going upwards.... So good
Gohan's _snap_ here is the feeling all of those who "Just want to be left alone" feel when they are forced to act. Great speech about such things: th-cam.com/video/XlhLatI9cpI/w-d-xo.html
God they did Gohans transformation so PERFECTLY! It’s insane how they kept the seriousness of the transformation that’s what makes this series rival the official dub
All those Cell Jr names except Vegeta Junior were the VA's who voiced a version of Cell Norio Wakamoto. (Cell's much beloved Japanese voice actor) Dameon Clarke. (Funimation Dub) Travis Willingham. (Cell's dub voice in most DB video games where Clarke was unavailable up until the Xenoverse games and FighterZ.) Curtis Arnott. (DBZA.Takahata101's real name.) Dale Wilson. (Westwood Dub) Jonathan David Cook. (Animaze Dub)
Also the part with Gohan transforming was basically exactly what happened in the original Japanese version the song used was even an English dub of the song used in the original Japanese episode.
so many things you can appreciate from the final scenes, the bird representing his his innocence and the red line passing through like a gunshot killing the bird (hence his innocence), the tears representing his last bit of empathy towards cell as they finallly finish as his face hardens and is ready to fight and the OST being a dubbed cover of the orginal japanese OST which lyrically fits perfectly with gohan and this moment. love it.
I remember a LOT of people LAUGHED their asses off when they realised Vegeta Jr Jr sounded like Nappa. Also side note, the song at the end, it's a full on english translation of the song "Unmei No Hi" from the OG Japanese language track, TFS uploaded the full version on YT and it, is, glorious! No scratch that... PERFECT!
24:06 in Dubbed Original Dbz android 16 Said: “Gohan, let it go. It is not a sin to fight for the right cause. There are those who words alone will not reach. Cell is such a being. You are gentle. You do not like to hurt. I know because I too have learned these feelings. But it is because you cherish life that you must protect it. Please drop your restraints. Protect the life I loved. You have the strength, my scanners sensed it. Just... let it go.” In Dbz Kakarot he said: “Gohan... It is not a sin to fight... for what is right. Give in to your anger... Let it flow through you... There is no need to hold it in any longer... The plants and animals that I love... Please protect...them... I am counting on you.”
The lyrics of the song are amazing!! It’s actually demonstrate the development of Gohan character and catch me up when the song said “my spirit grows and I will face this demon”
This episode shows more than anything the RESPECT that TFS had for this anime. The fact that they made the Gohan SSJ2 moment serious and so epic, is amazing. They did an amazing job and they deserve all the praise.
You wouldn't know since you didn't watch the original but that entire scene of gohan transforming apart from the dialogue is pretty much how it went down. The bird flying, the music (remix of the song they used in the original japanese version of dbz). Well done TFS
There’s still a TV special you’ve yet to watch that takes place during the week before the cell games you have to watch called DBZA: The Plan to Eradicate Christmas. Hope you don’t skip it because it’s one of my favorite entries of the series and perfectly closes the knot on the “Goku wants to save Christmas” running joke
"Gohan, listen to me. i know you do not like to hurt people, but there are people like Cell who do, you have a great power within you that sometimes must be let out, it is not wrong to fight to protect others. protect your friends, your loved ones, your planet."
I love these moments when TFS play a scene entirely straight. It really makes them stand out amongst the usually more comedic tone and it's where you really feel the love they have for the show. Like, the amount of work they put into the SSJ2 transformation is admirable.
@@blomgaming6480 The point of the abridged series is to parody the original. That doesn't always mean raw mockery or comedy. It can also be a love letter to it, which is what they've openly said they went for with season 3. Finding the humour, but also trying to capture just what made them love the show.
@@blomgaming6480 Maybe but making fun of some things might draw more critizem then anything and Gohan's SSJ2 transformation (and future Gohan's death) are some things you just don't really wanna mock
20:32 - 21:11 Yeah, you kind of caught it, the dialogue Cell and Gohan have near the end leading up to the Super Saiyan 2 transformation you call out on. For anyone unaware, it's a call back to the fact that there were just a TON of AMV's made of this moment back in the earlier days of TH-cam.
man seeing gohan transform to super saiyan 2 for the first time is one of the coldest things ive ever experienced as an anime enjoyer. not a dragon ball fanboy but damn its one of the things that made my childhood unforgettable. watching anime after school and wasting a lot of hours watching anime, those were the good times man.
the song at the end is a cover of the original japanese song when gohan first transformed first watched thise scene 30 years ago and its still amazing teamfourstar did such a good job
Just so you you know Takahata101 who is the Voice actor for Cell is also the voice actor for Dende, Nappa, Super Kami Guru and others in the DBZA As well as the Voice Actor for Alucard in the TFS Hellsing Abridged.
TFS playing the ending straight is genuinely clap-worthy. one of the veeeery few times they don't undercut the tension for comedic effect. absolutely brilliant
Cell is voiced by the same guy that was Napa, hence why the Jr.'s sound like him. He was also Guru in Namak. Takahata101 has quite the range like most of TFS
I don't know what disappoints me more, not seeing the original show, or that Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot was your first DBZ game. I'm so sorry for your childhood 🤣🤣
Yeah that makes sense because Goku was around 19 when Gohan was born then Goku was around 23 when Raditz landed on Earth and 24 when Vegeta/Nappa landed on Earth and the fight between Freeza and SSJ Goku happened like a month and half after the fight with Vegeta and Goku
@@MrErva666 Saiyans are usually in there physical prime untill there around 80 years old then old age will hit them like a ton of bricks, So even if Goku did or didn't age during the year of being dead it dosn't matter much
Throughout this whole series with all the transformatins that people go thru, the MOST emotional transformations are when Goku 1st went super vs Frieza, when Trucks went super after gohan died, and this one where Gohan goes super lvl 2(hidden potential) vs Cell.
It was partially true. They just really drew attention to it in abridged. Even in the original he didn't like to fight and hurt needlessly. The reason he held back so long was in the past when he lost control he just went sort of berserker with no control over himself and he was afraid doing it now would only make that part worse
The music at the end is an English version of the original song from the scene in the Japanese version. Funimation had a different song for this scene. Fans of the original Japanese that know the original score were stunned when Team Four Star did this. It was a long time coming.
Gohan's SS2 transformation was done FAR BETTER than Funi could ever have. They didn't need to have Gohan do a stupid internal monologue right before the transformation. The understanding of death of innocence was clear as day with Android 16.
That's how it was in the original Japanese dub. They didn't need to change anything for the abridged. That's why TFS commissioned a translated version of the original Japanese track that played here, Unmei no Hi, "The Day of Destiny/Fate". Besides the jokes and the tone of the 16 speech, its pretty much 1 to 1.
I love how a soulless ginger robot (double-entendre) was the final straw for Gohan to snap and unleash his true power. Also, imagine if Cell decided to eat 16 instead of killing him.
Yes. Saiyans age very slowly. But since Gohan is only half saiyan he ages mostly like normal humans. Also, the line Vegeta said a few episodes ago saying the only hair that grows on saiyans since birth is beards mustaches is actually canon.
The song at the end is actually an English version of the song from the original Japanese version of the scene which TFS made for this. The song is called Day of Fate, and there's a full version on TFS's channel. It's fire.
I can't tell you just how powerfully emotional it was watching this when it first came out, with having just started coming out of the worst low of my life, and Spirit vs Spirit (the song when Gohan goes ssj2) underlining the journey of a show that had been on hiatus for a year, knowing this could be the last episode we would ever get. I can't thank TFS enough for inspiring me to keep working towards my dreams!
The Linkin Park song reference is fitting because there used to be a bunch of videos on Youttube dedicated to DBZ that used popular rock songs intermixed with the footage. One of the most popular cuts was Cell Games Gohan X Cell with that Linkin Park song
Didn't see anyone else mention it sooo..... @14:30 Cell goes through the names of the Cell Jrs and each of them is named after one of Cell's voice actors with the obvious exception of Vegeta Jr. Jr.
Glad you finally got to this. This is the best episode they ever did and I never expected them to make Gohan's transformation more compelling than any of the english dubs versions. The only shame is the series had to end just as they were reaching the peak of their abilities.
Yes every cell junior is as strong as cell (in the manga at least) Also his stolen abilities are all upgraded Like the multiform technique he stole from Tien doesn't actually split his power level
Just a heads up this was when Linkin parks singer passed away, so they put that in as a special tribute. I like the touches that teamfourstar add. I'm happy to have joined you through this journey can't wait to see the next 2 episodes🙂
Another thing to get p*ssed at about DBZ Kakarot, is that if you wanted to hear the Gohan transformation theme, you had to pay extra for a music pack DLC....lame.
Fun fact: all the Cell Jrs (except Vegeta Jr Jr, obviously) are named after Cell VAs: Norio Wakamoto, Dameon Clarke, Travis Willingham, Curtis Arnott (the abridged voice btw), Dale Wilson and Johnathan Cook.
U definitely have to rewatch this series because u notice something new Everytime and it’s honestly worth it Call backs u didn’t notice Jokes u didn’t notice It’s just very delight
The cell jrs are canonically confirmed to be slightly stronger than Vegeta who was the second strongest there or well strongest with Goku tired after cell If Goku was at full health he would have defeated a Few cell jrs not all 7 and definetly not easily but at least 2 ( going one on one )
So pretty sure some of the comments already addressed it, but if you're interested the song is called 'Tamashii Tai Tamashii' and there's the original Japanese version as well as the Team Four Star version, and both versions absolutely rock.
Gohan: "Whenever I get backed into a corner, I snap. And when I do, I. Hurt. People." Cell: "Geez, what are you? Some edgy pre-teen?" Gohan: "Yeah, technically. I mean, have you seen my hair?"
Yes, don’t skip through the credits at end of part 3. There are 2 bonus scenes you will appreciate

Yes you must go through all the credits! Its very worth it.

@@MarijnvdSterrethis is in the dub in the sub he's just a hillbilly hick who puts fighting over everything and everyone.
Because they all have a big ego one way or another. Gohan does too but it doesn't involve fighting, which is the only thing Goku knows about
Only in the abridged.

I don't know what disappoints me more, not seeing the original show, or that Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot was your first DBZ game. I'm so sorry for your childhood 🤣🤣
you dragonball fans act like its the best show/manga in the world😭😂
So when’re we gonna let Jack know he missed the 2nd Abridged special with Bardock
he missed quite a bit actually. not sure why he didn't just watch them in order
He said he would watch it around Christmas
The Cell Juniors aside from Vegeta Jr are named after the Voice Actors for Cell.
Goku is only about 30 years old here, which is weird. Even his year of death is equalised by his year in the time chamber.
Yeah that makes sense because Goku was around 19 when Gohan was born then Goku was around 23 when Raditz landed on Earth and 24 when Vegeta/Nappa landed on Earth and the fight between Freeza and SSJ Goku happened like a month and half after the fight with Vegeta and Goku
Between Raditz and Vegeta, Goku was dead. Can we really say he aged then?
@@MrErva666biologically no.
@@MrErva666 Saiyans are usually in there physical prime untill there around 80 years old then old age will hit them like a ton of bricks, So even if Goku did or didn't age during the year of being dead it dosn't matter much
@@MrErva666 He has had time in the hyperbolic time chamber, that could make up for his time dead.
The voice of cell is none other than takahata101 who is also the abridged voice of super kami guru and Nappa
What an absolute legend
I wonder if Jack realizes that this is how Gohan transformed in Super Super Hero
his memory isn't the best
Throughout this whole series with all the transformatins that people go thru, the MOST emotional transformations are when Goku 1st went super vs Frieza, when Trucks went super after gohan died, and this one where Gohan goes super lvl 2(hidden potential) vs Cell.
The whole pacifist angle with Gohan was never a thing in the original series.
It was partially true. They just really drew attention to it in abridged. Even in the original he didn't like to fight and hurt needlessly. The reason he held back so long was in the past when he lost control he just went sort of berserker with no control over himself and he was afraid doing it now would only make that part worse
The music at the end is an English version of the original song from the scene in the Japanese version. Funimation had a different song for this scene. Fans of the original Japanese that know the original score were stunned when Team Four Star did this. It was a long time coming.
Gohan's SS2 transformation was done FAR BETTER than Funi could ever have. They didn't need to have Gohan do a stupid internal monologue right before the transformation. The understanding of death of innocence was clear as day with Android 16.
That's how it was in the original Japanese dub. They didn't need to change anything for the abridged. That's why TFS commissioned a translated version of the original Japanese track that played here, Unmei no Hi, "The Day of Destiny/Fate". Besides the jokes and the tone of the 16 speech, its pretty much 1 to 1.
sayains stays in their prime till 80, once they reach age 80 they start to age fast
I love how a soulless ginger robot (double-entendre) was the final straw for Gohan to snap and unleash his true power. Also, imagine if Cell decided to eat 16 instead of killing him.
As shown in one of the earlier episodes (I forgot which one), I don’t think he could.
Since he's completely an android it would be impossible
@@KaneMarcks oh damn ok thats mb
The cuts to Chi-Chi are in the actual show. But no one knew she was pregnant.
Yes. Saiyans age very slowly. But since Gohan is only half saiyan he ages mostly like normal humans. Also, the line Vegeta said a few episodes ago saying the only hair that grows on saiyans since birth is beards mustaches is actually canon.
15:27 Fun Fact: It is. He's voiced all three of Cell's forms, Nappa, Guru, etc.
Gohan has one of the greatest rage Transformations in dragon ball history🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The song at the end is actually an English version of the song from the original Japanese version of the scene which TFS made for this. The song is called Day of Fate, and there's a full version on TFS's channel. It's fire.
Gives me chills everytime, like the first time i watched it back in 1994.
I can't tell you just how powerfully emotional it was watching this when it first came out, with having just started coming out of the worst low of my life, and Spirit vs Spirit (the song when Gohan goes ssj2) underlining the journey of a show that had been on hiatus for a year, knowing this could be the last episode we would ever get. I can't thank TFS enough for inspiring me to keep working towards my dreams!
The Linkin Park song reference is fitting because there used to be a bunch of videos on Youttube dedicated to DBZ that used popular rock songs intermixed with the footage. One of the most popular cuts was Cell Games Gohan X Cell with that Linkin Park song
Yeah the dragon ball AMV's😭 Jack should watch some, he would probably recoil
Fun fact, you heard correct. The cell juniors are the same voice actor as nappa. But he is also the voice of Mr Perfect Cell.
Finally, the reaction episode we've all been waiting for
Didn't see anyone else mention it sooo..... @14:30 Cell goes through the names of the Cell Jrs and each of them is named after one of Cell's voice actors with the obvious exception of Vegeta Jr. Jr.
Glad you finally got to this. This is the best episode they ever did and I never expected them to make Gohan's transformation more compelling than any of the english dubs versions. The only shame is the series had to end just as they were reaching the peak of their abilities.
I would have loved to see the TFS take on Fat Buu and Super Buu.
@@TheRealHelvetica that and I'd have loved to see them try to top Gohan's transformation with Vegeta's sacrifice in the Buu saga.
just so you know, the man singing the song is gohan/goku's voice actor
Yes every cell junior is as strong as cell (in the manga at least)
Also his stolen abilities are all upgraded
Like the multiform technique he stole from Tien doesn't actually split his power level
"We both know he didn't have a soul." That works on two levels,
1) 16 is an "android" 2) 16 is a ginger.
Just a heads up this was when Linkin parks singer passed away, so they put that in as a special tribute. I like the touches that teamfourstar add. I'm happy to have joined you through this journey can't wait to see the next 2 episodes🙂
TFS did an amazing job with the cover for Day of Fate at the end
Oh damn we're in the end game now, please enjoy and I cannot wait to see future reactions!!
saiyans physically age slower, but have same life span as a human
Another thing to get p*ssed at about DBZ Kakarot, is that if you wanted to hear the Gohan transformation theme, you had to pay extra for a music pack DLC....lame.
Fun fact: all the Cell Jrs (except Vegeta Jr Jr, obviously) are named after Cell VAs: Norio Wakamoto, Dameon Clarke, Travis Willingham, Curtis Arnott (the abridged voice btw), Dale Wilson and Johnathan Cook.
U definitely have to rewatch this series because u notice something new Everytime and it’s honestly worth it
Call backs u didn’t notice
Jokes u didn’t notice
It’s just very delight
He kinda missed back when 16 said he was 5 kilograms lighter when Krillin asked how was he
I think the Cell Jr are as strong as Cell has shown himself to be at this point. Meaning Cell is still holding back a lot of power.
I doubt it, Vegeta, Trunks & Piccolo were keeping up with their Cell Jrs. And even Suppressed Cell stomps them.
@@LazySugarLover of course they are, they are on the defensive, which always gives you an advantage
The cell jrs are canonically confirmed to be slightly stronger than Vegeta who was the second strongest there or well strongest with Goku tired after cell
If Goku was at full health he would have defeated a Few cell jrs not all 7 and definetly not easily but at least 2 ( going one on one )
So pretty sure some of the comments already addressed it, but if you're interested the song is called 'Tamashii Tai Tamashii' and there's the original Japanese version as well as the Team Four Star version, and both versions absolutely rock.
Gohan: "Whenever I get backed into a corner, I snap. And when I do, I. Hurt. People."
Cell: "Geez, what are you? Some edgy pre-teen?"
Gohan: "Yeah, technically. I mean, have you seen my hair?"
This song will never not have me crying "The day of fate has fin'ly come!"
