I like how Super accidentally added context to Vegeta hating the color pink because young Freiza was pink.
Wasn't Dodoria pink?
"I am Lord Freeza yes"
"then why is there an I in it?"
"There isn't"
Kaiser's delivery of "Oh, sweet salty Christ, no." is freaking gold.
Anime David Attenborough voice
@CygnusBard Either way it's funny as hell
Where does he say it?

@@BmanTheChamp Thanks
Something a friend told me and I can't unsee especially during Trunks intro scene: Future Trunks is basically a fanfic character, let me explain.
-He comes out of nowhere
-easily defeat the strongest bad to date (which somehow suvived his fight with the main character)
-using the same special ability unique to the mc until then
-he has a dark (some will say edgy) backstory
-he's the son of 2 character whose ship was non existant at that point (canonically speaking)
-He has a sword, despite no serously strong character in this ever used one (up until that point), just because it makes him more badass
-To make everything work out he's from the future
Great observation! He was inspired by Toriyama's love of The Terminator, so its a fan character put into his own series.
Yajarobe has a sword.
@@Mostlyharmless1985are we really going to classify yajirobe as a serious and strong character?
@@blackhavoc618 Yajirobe was key to beating Vegeta. Just saiyan...
@@blizzard2798
Plus, Yajirobe sure showed Cymbal who's fucking boss. Dude straight up killed, cooked, and ate one of Demon King Piccolo's children.
"why arent you upstairs sleepin with your girlfriend like everyone else?" has always been one of my very favorite jokes you guys have ever made
Great bit of writing
That and "what? Bitch is a gold digger"
This guy gets it.
I don’t catch it at first but my ex was laughing so hard at that and I was like “what? What’s funny lol” so she had me rewind it then I got it and this is now one of my favorite TFS jokes
Marin was a treasure trove of jokes.
Maron being an undercover IRS agent is a brilliant subversion from the original version!
It's a brilliant subversion of the bimbo trope.
I'm convinced if they had Launch in DBZA she'd still have 2 personalities but switches them consciously to mess with people or she's actually 2 people who switch places when she sneezes
@@PlebNC
Gods, I never thought about it but now that you mention it, I wonder how the heck they would've written Launch.
@@kake_of_lightAnd unlike Fujiko, Marron didn't need to put out to get the job done.
@@PlebNCMarron is VERY good at her job. Working for the gov doesn’t pay that well but it fills her with a sense of civic pride
"Mom, where's my Saiyan Suit?"
"Woman, where is my Saiyan Suit"
"It's under your bed!"
"Thank you!"
"It's in the wash!"
"You b*tch!"
I love this part so much, not because it's a reference, but it's from two different perspectives
I love Vegeta's response because for once he's not being an asshole for no reason. Earlier he told Bulma his gear was dry clean only and she ignored him.
@@00wolfer00ayo this is actually a pretty fair point 🤣🤔
I love how vegeta constantly insults her in DBZA but she doesn’t even pay no mind to it she insults him back lol
45:45 I like to imagine Hetap was a very niche company in the present and Trunks caused a butterfly effect that made it ultra popular by having everyone drink it
Hetap! you killed for less.
@@tp6335 You're not wrong...
And that's why the androids are stronger, because while Gero was developing them he drank Hetap and gained the energy and clarity he needed to improve his research.
@@tp6335that's not UNtrue....
@@kendrajade6688Or DBZ uses drinks as an energy source, like One Piece. The cyborgs are powered by cola! Or energy drinks, I guess. They taste like battery acid, right?
Frieza’s enthusiasm for flying the ship makes me happy. I want antagonists to enjoy things beyond evil.
Haha, I agree, that fleshes out the character a lot more, makes it feel like there are layers that are there, even if you don't necessarily see all of them.
One of my characters, her two favorite things are murder and relaxing on a windy day. And she loves scarves because they move in the breeze :D
"I can fly it!"
We do not fly ourselves, flying is for the help!
Could be his/her way out of HFIL, flying people around while enjoying the ride.
Palpatine raced speeders in his youth, and still gets an itch for it from time to time. He likes to pilot his own shuttles when he can get away with it. It’s that reckless nature of his shining through the cracks in his patient, scheming exterior.
You know, don't think we ever saw the Paozu tuna again after this. Gohan truly ended a species! Even the Saskatoon T-Rex had some survivors.
It's still funny that Gohan chased the dinosaur down for its tail meat and ate it right it front of it.
Wait, I didn't realize it at the time, but 48:44
BOTH of Trunks's parents considered sex with him.
Bulma was the obvious and likely genuine flirt with him, but Vegeta was pretty much "This guy keeps staring at me? Does he want the fuck?" and responded that he wasn't interested.
The Bulma hitting on Trunks joke is one of my favorites. And Megami and Kaiser just sell it with their deliveries 🤣
"Do you have any idea what they do to guys like you in prison?"
Wait, isn't Krillin like canonically one of the strongest humans alive at this point? He'd probably be alright, one kienzan in his first fight and he'd be left alone by most inmates...
He'd bend the bars, and go to sleep
Bro that place would be heaven for him, only without the free sundae to go along with it. And he’d still be lactose intolerant.
"not in front of the malcontent!" is such a good line lol
I just realized Bulma is drunk when she hits on Trunks. She had one beer. ONE BEER. And she only drank it ten seconds earlier.
Headcanon: That was beer from Trunks' dark future, and the unstoppable force that is Androids 17 and 18 made everyone so depressed that they quadrupled the amount of alcohol in all their booze to cope.
Nah, Bulma is just easy and the alcohol was just an excuse
@@MuToiDMaN She sounded very drunk.
@@MuToiDMaN100%. Anyone who watched OG Dragon Ball agrees with Yamcha "You slut!"
She's a lightweight. Couldn't even handle her salt water /s
Kami being randomly psychic and being able to hear Nail in Picollo's head is so in keeping with Dragonball tradition
i mean technically Kami is Piccolo
sort of.
Didn't they communicate telepathically in season 1?
@@andrewsd.r.7180 They might have, now that you mention it.
Piccolo and Kami just have a psychic link, it's shown up a few times before
nah, Kami having a telepathic link to Piccolo/Majunia has always been a thing. That's one of the few oddly consistent things
Not gonna lie, for years I thought the "why aren't you sleeping with your girlfriend line" was everyone else sleeping with their girlfriends. Not until these commentaries did realize the true implications.
I’m more confused on the Popo laugh when he said Five. Joke
@@roxtechs There were more than five.
No one else had girlfriends there.
That joke is my all time favorite tbh
@roxtechs “He laughed when I said five”, meaning, there were (probably WAY) more than five bodies and the fact Kami ONLY found five made Popo laugh.
wait - Krillin's death was the impetus for Goku's first ever super saiyan transform, meaning Krillin never actually SAW a super saiyan before this episode. how was he so sure what one looks like right there.
Presumably he’s basing his description off what Gohan would have told him in the time between his return to the living world and Frieza’s arrival on Earth.
Less of a plot hole than anything Toryama came up with himself
Frieza (Martin) continuing the tradition that as goofy as the Daleks look and their catch-phrase sounds, the right delivery of "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!" sounds fucking awesome.
8:40 i always felt at least in the DBZA canon, the reason the technique was forbidden is because they didnt do fusion correctly and it would cause multiple personalities or at least schizophrenia as we see with Piccolo.
My theory is unlike the fusion dance and the earrings which mix everything more or less properly the one Nail used was just wrong.
If only Super Kami Guru trained him in the new way.
nah it's cause guru's a dick and didn't want anyone to be stronger than him to overthrow him... but then he got too fat to move anyway
@@hazmatt8349He might have stood a chance
I think the reason it's forbidden is the Namekians are a very small species numbers-wise (there's only about a hundred of them on their world) and they all are born by the elder, so fusing further reducing their already very small numbers. Also, they're not a race of warriors, they have no need for it.
@@SeruraRenge11 yeah, that works on the surface, that whole "we don't murder our own kind for power"
But picking up hitchhikers that live in your mind indefinitely would be a good option for why it's not good to do it.
No one talks about this. But I'm glad the "MY BABY BOY!" line comes back with Vegeta.
Huh. Never entirely noticed that. I think just because of how much more intense Vegeta’s is.
Okay, so Krillin's only REAL fraud was in collecting the insurance money under a false name. Granted, the whole situation is obviously impossible to properly collect on, but if he'd had someone trustworthy made beneficiary (...given the DBZA crew, that would have to be Turtle, given the fact that the only other reliable options at the time were dead or underage), he could've avoided the whole mess.
Oh well. He chose a stupid plan and reaped the consequences.
Bulma could’ve taken it out, because she would have 0 reason to steal it, turtle would because he poor, and she is reliable, not dead, and above age
@@Bengt2509Bulma went with him. He thought if he was dead chances are she bit it with him
Bro, he literally had Upa’s dad and the Ox King as options. Both have vast wealth and could very easily co-sign for him.
@@Lenoh Never saw dragon ball who those?
Jk, but Krillin might be too embarrassed to ask Bora if he might encounter Uppa.
For me the kicker line is "he laughed when I said five"
When you think about it, Krillin's libido has been a big part of his character from the beginning. His first line in the series is "boobs." It didn't come up much in season 2 except on the ship and then in the cave, but season 3 is where this aspect of his personalty is fully explored and factors into the plot with his refusal to blow up Android 18. He sort of changes from just being a horndog to being a genuine romantic, and his slapdown in episode 31 is I think the catalyst to focusing more on romance and substance over pure aesthetics. It's good writing.
I love that Vegeta had the option of not wearing the shirt but did anyway because he's the Prince of All Saiyans and was raised to accept the gifts of his future subjects.
I swear the scene in dragonball super superhero where they show piccolo in his house is a direct response to all these jokes and nothing will convince me otherwise
Lani’s Popo is legend… he somehow makes the character perfectly sound like he’s about to mockingly laugh at anything and everything.
Episode 32 is probably the one I’ve rewatched the most times; you guys are legends.
Kaiser actually sounds so good as Trunks that i wouldn't mind him replacing the official voice actor of Trunks if necessary.
Same but for Masako as young Gohan too
Honestly they all can be recast. They've been doing it for so damn long they're definitely burnt out, at least just replaying Z for an entire lifetime.
A shame Toei wouldn't let it happen. (The TFS cast taking over, not a general recast)
TFS voices were better, change my mind
Kaiser would make a great Phoenix Wright
God, Masako's Gohan voice even SOUNDS like Lisa. I hate how right you are.
Agreed. Anyone else want to see Lisa as a Super Saiyan now? She already has the spiky yellow hair 😂
Dental Plan!
Gohan needs braces.
Love The pfp
"When I'm a Super Saiyan, I'm keeping my own name!"
Been seeing your pfp on so many of these videos, I love it. See ya next week lol
The mini arc with Marron in the actual show had easily my favorite but also most out of nowhere scenes where her, yajirobe, and korrin were playing strip poker and yajirobe was clearly losing cause he was just sitting there in only his fundoshi.
Isn't korrin always naked?
@@theheatedoneplus2463 yeah
@@theheatedoneplus2463he's just there to get out once so he can be all-time dealer
Maybe a Dub thing, but I think Yajirobe asks Korin why they are losing when Korin can read minds. Korin says he can't read Marron's mind FOR SOME REASON. (She stupid)
I always loved how seriously Garlic Jr's opening scene is, because it makes the follow-up at the end way funnier.
Taka-chat had some impeccable timing with their alerts during the entire "fight" with Freeza...
"I can fill the part"
That's the exact second you know he's Vegeta's kid.
Man considering the team got burnt out by the end of the Cell saga, not doing Garlic Jr really turned out to be a good decision.
Fair point but didn't they stop cuz they got issued a cease and desist by toei?
2.9 Abridged Kai Tho
@@mikek7660 it contributed to their burn out but wasn’t the sole reason
"The war of Troy was because some king got cucked."
Paris kidnapped King Menelaus's wife. I'm not sure "cucked" is the most appropriate descriptor.
Goku screaming as he gets out the space pod is hilarious, Masako kills it 👏
Ep. 33 is maybe my favorite episode in the entire series. Trunks just gets to be so badass and so dorky and Mecha Frieza is so fun and King Cold gets to be this smug posh Old Money daddy and you have the VEGETA SHIRT JOKES and the TIEN JOKES and everyone FUCKING NAILS THEIR PERFORMANCES AAAAGH it's SO GOOD.
36:50 This is actually my #1 most favorite thing about DBZA and something I'm always happy to praise you guys on. All of the core cast are f*ckmothering PERFECT for each of your roles. And I'll die on that hill with Yamcha.
Taka lampooning the ads along with the episodes was an additional energy I didn't know I was missing.
24:14 I need an episode where Lanny, taka, and Scott all try and voice each other's different characters poorly in a style kinda like twilight zone
Scott's Imperfect Cell is just his Burter.
God, no matter how many times I hear it, Scott's Super Saiyan scream still to this day gives me fucking CHILLS!
Would love to see his redub of trunks' rage moment against zamasu
Krillin didnt even commit tax fraud (cause he LITERALLY died), but he would be a king in prison
It was insurance fraud by saying he's his own brother.
“I’ve dropped 500 Grand on you!” If this episode dropped today you could’ve made a ice spice Jordan Poole joke!
Who?
Hahaha. Also, Ice Spice is 🤢🤮
I love how trunks is basically tryharding and flexing on freeza to impress all his heroes and gets progressively less impressed with them as the arc goes...
31 is absolutely one of my favorites. It has some of the best laughs and Popo's "oh please, DO go on" is legendary.
God i forgot about the "pounding the tuna jokes, they just get better with roshi in the background"
I mean... Krillin could've easily made any prison he got put into his bitch. He gets bodied in the show often but that's because they're always facing threats that are so above what normal people can handle with weapons, let alone bare handed. When faced with modern thugs, even if he were asleep they'd have quite the time doing any meaningful damage to him, even during the Cell saga
100%. People forget, Krillin is immune to bullets. Full stop. Mr Satan is what the public thought was the peak of Human excellence, and that is ADORABLE by comparison to Krillin.
@@RotaAbyssian except in Super where not even Goku is immune to bullets.
Though even in DBZ Goku isn't immune to rocks even while super saiyan to be fair to Super.
Fun fact: it was confirmed that Frieza's dad is his mom. Toriyama said Cold birthed Frieza himself so there's not any females of Frieza's race any more than there are female Namekians
Technically neither frieza race nor namekians should be gendered since so far they are monogendered and reproduce asexually. We just use those because English back then defaulted to male
Not really confirmed, there was one off remark about Cold being Frieza's only parent but not really specified if that means Cold Birthed him or Cold was the only one to take care of him as a parent.
They are also mutants of their race so we don't even know how their race even functions anyway when all you ever see are two of them who are apparently highly mutated and evil on their own. It would be like saying all Namekians are like the first ones we see with Demon King Piccolo and his mutated off spring before Piccolo Jr. was born.
I don't ever want a proper explanation of the "jock strap incident". I like getting lost in thought, wondering as to what it could be.
Right!? I want them to just randomly drop a detail here and there about it and never explain lol
Every time they add a detail and it makes me more interested.
The jock strap incident:
1. Required multiple holes to bury something near the ship
2. Causes lots of death, or happened after lots of death
3. Was an event that "you don't want to be boxed in for"
@@games-wz7sz It also involved a "big red ball"
"Your last name's Sanchez???" Gets me every time.
Say what you will about power scaling in super, Roshi being relevant again is excellent
TBF, I don't think we've ever seen the ceiling of Roshi's power. I think him ducking out during the King Piccolo arc was more about trauma from 300 years ago than it was about an accurate assessment of his power. Like maybe if he went all out he could have beaten KP, but since he already decided it was beyond the capabilities of mortal man he just went for the Mafuba instead.
I mean, I'd honestly rather have more characters that can be plot relevant than power scaling that makes sense. I always felt like that was one of Dragon Ball Z's biggest weaknesses, in that it has all of these interesting characters, but NONE of them matter. Ya know Yamcha was the first character in the series to hand Goku an L?
@@ilovethelegend I miss the Wolf's Fang Fist
The humans really need a buff in power, something along the same level as ssjb to rival it.
@@BananaReidy they could go super human if they tried harder
It always bothered me that post Frieza saga Gohan couldn’t one shot the same guys who pre-Z Goku was able to beat.
I assume the whole "black water mist" thing made the spice boys stronger
It's not the same guys
I would honestly want to watch a wildlife documentary narrated by Scott Frerichs. Even if it was totally made up about Paozu tuna and the local native population reliant upon them for food.
That said, I always thought the Garlic Jr. arc was actually sorta good in a way. I mean, as filler it doesn't compare to the others, but it requires the team fight without Goku or Vegeta and actually gave Kami and Mr. Popo something to do. Plus, Gohan is actually a star, foreshadowing Cell (which they didn't know at the time).
love how trunks acts cool during all the parts where he has control/knowledge of what's going on but the moment he stops having control he stops acting cool and increasingly more confused.
To be fair taka, every Dragon Ball arc in general resets the power scaling. Not just super
Power scaling was only ever important to nerds who overthink things, let's be real here.
@@SilverHairedFreak25soooooo... Adult fans of basically everything? When kids do it, rightly no one cares, but it's the adult part of a community that ruins it
@@Kaarl_Mills It's just that they're looking for a level of consistency that Dragon Ball just doesn't have and has never had. Moreover, it's a level of consistency that would actively make the story worse if it was enforced to the degree some fans want it to/act like it is. If power levels were adhered to religiously and Goku was the only character who could ever accomplish anything that would be boring and we wouldn't have cool moments like Krillan cutting off Freeza's tail or Tien holding off Cell.
Super has the worst scale though. Like cabba, kale, caulifla, android 17, krillin, master roshi, basically what I'm saying is everyone in universe 7 was overpowered to be on goku's level. Meanwhile the saiyans in universe 6 are just stupidly overpowered
yooo its the homie. also at least they always made sure that the human characters were weak as balls (since z) :)
Internal screaming is my favorite kind of inner monolog.
31:07 i STILL get chills when I hear Kaiser's Trunks in his introduction 💜
Especially with how close he is to Eric Vale’s interpretation!!!
For the record, I'm pretty sure in the manga version, vegeta never leaves earth after the namek saga in the first place so he's just still around lol
"Do you know what they do to guys like you in prison?"
Strongest human on earth? Odds are he's running that shit in a week.
Yo i forget how shredded krillin is at like 13:50, short king has amazing muscle definition
I guess Bulma’s last name is actually McFly, LOL
What I love is that the TFS crew accidentally made a consistent Saiyan character trait. Between Bardock and Vegeta, both of them, when trying to think of something, usually while pissed, are easy to distract and take the entire idea with them xD
Can i just mention that this Gohan just going "I have made the comparison" to Krillin's mention of Marron's...."size" means that was like the first thing he noticed?
Ah, poor Maron had no idea what she missed out on.
One thing you can interpret from 9:07 is that Bulma still instinctively doesn't want Yamcha to bang another girl because Bulma technically hasn't gotten with Vegeta yet.
Pounding the tuna is by far my favorite joke in all of DBZA.
22:26 can we talk about Vegeta's wet hair in this frame? Because I cant help but note that he went underwater several times on Namek and it never seemed to do anything to his hair
Anime logic.
This is episode is the team's best work. Although, Killin could have solved his relationship issues if he had just had an honest conversation with Maron while hovering over Nightworker Island.
The what island?
probably could've solved his "fraud" issues too, he did indeed die and has witnesses to the event.
He really should have just Kamehameha'ed her right into the ocean. They were in the middle of nowhere.
@@youmukonpaku3168 I mean he still doesn't have a twin brother.
The more I watch these, the more I realize that DBZ Abridged is just The Simpsons with Super Saiyans.
They said in another one of these that freeza was Frasier as a dbz villain and I was thinking “like sideshow bob with powers basically ”
35:53 Freiza literally says, "Either die to him or die to me." So he's just keeping to his word!
"Do you have any idea what they DO to guys like you?"
Considering Krillin can't be shanked, shot, or burned by anything or anyone weaker than him, and literally NOONE in any prison would be able to so much as push him back a step, never mind actually do damage with a punch...I think Krillin would be perfectly fine in a prison.
The fun thing is that Krillin totally could have kept the money if he had just used his real name. It wouldn't have been insurance fraud then because he really did die!
Whenever Trunks isn’t on screen people should be going “WHENs Trunks?”
We're not gonna talk about that incredible Smithers voice at 34:23
No
25:18 the sound detail of the glass hitting the ground is so fucking good everybody say thank you kaiser
Episode 31 is one of my favorite episodes! I love when you guys are able to not worry about the plot and just go nuts! Season 3 is the best because you guys improve with each episode and we get to enjoy the ride!
So was Vegeta’s second hole meant to be the hole from when Yajorobe cut off his tail? I was never sure.
Yes. Yes it was
I gotta say, when I was younger and heard turtle say "Sleeping with your gf like everyone else." *I* thought he meant everyone was sleeping with THEIR girlfriends. Of course, now I realize he meant everyone sleeping with KRILLIN'S girlfriend.
I am appalled they didn't bring up the plothole with Vegeta not knowing what soap was when he understood Nappa's "Don't drop the soap " line back on Arlia.
I can’t wait for next episode because of the possibility of seeing that cut Attack on Titan joke edited together!
The only person Vegeta killed on earth was Nappa
That very last line caught me off guard and had me burst out laughing.
The “No Frieza, YOU’RE small time” made me chuckle. I need more Trunks S. Kennedy
32:39-32:46 Krillin here is feeling the way I felt from roughly 2016-2021, and I'm not gonna lie, I'm starting to feel that way again.
See, my theory about Marim, is that Bulma is a very well known person. Famous even. It's not surprising that her style is copied.
Also, I really like Yamcha. He's like, one of the strongest people on the planet. Possibly at least in the top 10. But is on the bottom of the totem pole of that group, so he has to default to being a coward. And of course, he's a record breaking athlete. He could literally have just about any women he wants, but is hung up on Bulma.
23:00 "It's shocking he'd even come back"
That's because in the manga he never left. So they had to bring him back in order to sync up with what the manga was doing.
Always loved Roshi's laugh during both the tuna pounding bits.
26:00 Best line ever
Lol I just caught, “my little chestnut”. Being a pun on his name.
I've been at that episode 31 session and all I gotta say is....
great job, Nies!
45:55 in Krillin’s defense here, he was on an alien planet where an evil tyrant's minions were suspiciously named similar to fruit, and one of his friends is named after a woodwind instrument. Names are weird
That and one of his other friends' entire family being named after underwear.
I have since adopted the name Kanzay as a name for a future character. not sure who to use it on tho
The word drip in norwegian is also one of our words for a small stroke or brain bleeding... It can make very mundane sentences sound morbid, and sometimes hilarious.
When I watched this show for the first time, I finished episode 30 and it was 3 AM. I started episode 31, saw Garlic Jr. And decided I didn’t want to watch a filler arc so I went to sleep.
So your joke for episode 31 actually tricked me into going to sleep.
Kinda crazy to think about it but up until Trunks arriving, Goku has technically only met this Piccolo 3 times. Once during the World Martial Arts Tournament, once to fight Raditz, and once for Freeza.
3:28 I am shocked this has never been available as an outfit in any Dragon Ball fighting game ever
6:28 Lisa Simpson “Whenever I get backed into a corner, I snap. And when I do, I hurt people.”
Taka reacting to the commercial at the end was great ngl
I always thought of Frieza's voice glitching out was a reference to Dr Nefarious from Ratchet and Clank.
The idea that Kaiser didn't want to be Trunks is so insane, it's legitimately one of the most accurate voices I've ever heard from the abridged.
43:01 King Cold: "You win some, you lose some."
Trunks: "...children?"
King Cold: "Ja."
I never realized until you paused it right after how homocidally hilarious Cold's "Ya" was. LMFAO
And thats it for King Cold everybody!
and Old King Cold, was a merry old soul, and a merry old soul was he!
