Thank you, guys, for fifteen years of everything. I'll never forget this for the entirety of my remaining lifetime. ❤
No thank you ❤
Editor Nies's Notes: Thank you. Truly. For watching these commentaries but also for being so passionate about them. Every weekend for the last year plus I looked forward to seeing and reading y'alls reactions to these. Hearing how these commentaries entertained and at times helped people pushed me to make these bigger and better for you all. And in return, you all helped me with the literal thousands of comments of support and motivation. You helped bring out the best version of me, in all aspects of my life. Thank you.
So any chance for a hellsing react
Thank you. ❤️ Its been awesome reliving these with all you awesome guys at TFS. Its been such a different experience, but still incredible. I'll never get bored of DBZA.
Believe me we appreciate all the hard work, the quality of these has been outstanding!
Hell yeah Nies, your editing is top notch and I can for sure see Kaiser's influence on your style. Keep up the hard work, everyone loves a good editor.
Will you also be commentating on the Buu bits?
Seeing these three join in on "My Way" and sing their hearts out like a bunch of drunken brothers is heart-wrenching
"Our Way"!
I joined in because it was so infectious.
@@philiphockenbury6563 So did I.
@@philiphockenbury6563every time
Really tried not to cry..... I failed
Anyone ever notice how this episode has basically Vegeta's plan for mech-freeza? "Gohan attacks from the front and I'll flank him and secure the kill!"
I never picked up on that. I am not sure they did that on purpose, but it is... wait for it...
Perfect
@@retrokoh1507 I was gonna give you another like, but you're currently at 69, and I didn't wanna take that away from you.
"It's why you're my brothers and not just my friends" Lani just casually throwing out such a heartfelt statement. It was so sweet.
This just shows how much I love these guys they really carried Dragon ball as a whole for me through the super age
Rest in peace, Chris Ayres. Your contributions will never be forgotten.
_"Love and laughter always, man"_
I didn't know he died bro what tf
@@grandie595 it seems to have happened a few years, I'm not informed since I'm from south America, but did heard him a lot, sad that he's gone
@@angelodavidmarabolivarela9505 He passed away two years ago from complications from pulmonary disease.
I miss him so much, man. He tutored a great successor to the Frieza role.
Hearing Damien Clarke say “wanna see me drink this guy?!” Is fucking amazing
There’s probably something to how the TFS lines are allowed to be unhinged and that might be more fun to say them sometimes.
And that particular one is so perfect.
WANNA SEE ME DRINK THIS KALPIS?!
1st form cell was always the best
The whole Damien Clark story was just gold, that was the cherry ontop
@@deltabird lolololol good one.
20:55 - "I'm thinking of taking up craft brewing..."
Mr Popo: "All this yeast makes a lager. All this yeast makes a lager. All this yeast makes a lager. All this yeast makes a lager."
Mr. Lord Popo: "DRINK THE KOOL-AID!"
So here's my story relating to you guys. I met my wife the year DBZA premiered. We were 18 and were in a long-distance relationship. We had met on Gaiaonline. She came to visit me when we made it official. Episode 5 came out when she was visiting. She had no idea what DBZA was, so we binge watched the first 5 episodes several times while eating pizza. It was a great bonding experience for us. We've been watching this commentary together. We're 33 now (she turns 34 next month), and it's been a lot of fun re-watching a show that dominated our 20's. We got married in 2017 a little less than a month after episode 59 came out. We consider it a wedding gift. Thanks for the laughs.
Congratulations! And I hope you are happy.
Episode 60 must have been one hell of a late honeymoon gift, eh?
Any children?
This will get lost in the abyss but many Bojack Horseman artists loved your show. We'd frequently have episodes playing on our monitors and constantly be like "yeah I just restarted DBZA again!"
I've loved watching this commentary, and it's been inspiring to see artists in our current hellscape of media just exude (or extrude) passion and be able to put out episode after episode of something they're proud of. Thanks for pouring out your hearts, y'all.
I'll comment and like so this gets more popular and they can potentially see this!
Thankya! I'm praying to the Almighty Algorithm
Pray the algorithm (and add a comment to feed it)
This is awesome! Love Bojack Horseman and its animation so thank you for your hard work there. Hope they see your comment.
@@dawapenjordorjisame. I don't want this to get lost.
To respond to Scott saying that DBZA perhaps won’t be remembered as a particularly noteworthy piece of art, I would say that there is a very strong argument for it being the best parody of all time.
Most definitely. People look to YTAS as the progenitor, but look to DBZA as the peak of the phenomena.
Not to mention that some people more readily remember lines from DBZA than they do from the source material they watched for ages. And the fact it has, indeed, been referenced elsewhere...
Spaceballs has entered the chat...
Of every parody ever made in human history? I've seen a lot. It's my favorite at least. It is the bar.
@@majindustin You know you're watching a parody with that. It's great. DBZA feels like the adult take.
I was not expecting the heartfelt Chris Ayers stories. It's obvious he meant a lot to you guys
He’s literally the complete opposite of Frieza.
Gotta love that it lead into Kaiser softly sobbing then busting out laughing at Taka's delivery of the Tien joke. It's a beautiful moment.
Neither did I. 😢😢
What time stamp for that
R.I.P. Chris Ayres!(Lord Frieza!)
Taka: "I frew up..."
Lani: "That's right. Cry."
My wife and I separated around the time this episode originally aired. This show was a key way my daughter and I stayed close while her mother and I worked through our issues. Thank you all for being there during one of the darkest times in my life
I will never get married.
The beautiful irony of Chris Ayers, a voice for one of the most evil and despisable characters in fiction, is one of the sweetest and kindest people you will ever meet/know.
Basically the Werewolf and Golden Retriever meme
The Junji Ito Complex
While, Sean Schemmel…
@@TemplarBlonic Sean isn’t really the nicest dude but he ain’t the worst
I was saying while they were talking about him that I think the best way to compliment Chris is with how disgusted Frieza would feel to be voiced by such a ray of sunshine.
Wait a minute... Did Mr. Satan get the lifetime supply of Hetap?!
Gotta keep the fridge stocked for his brother-in-law when he comes over!
@@TECH097 Who’s Mr. Satan’s brother-in-law?
@@Chaguarr Goku lol
@@TECH097 That’s not how in-laws work
@@Chaguarr Well it's dumb semantics if that's the case how can they be "family" and both be fathers in law but not brothers in law with each other? Such a nonsense stipulation.
Since Kaiser couldn’t remember, it got brought up in the breakdown he did of episode 60; the My Way song was originally supposed to be a cover of “We’ll Meet Again” inspired by Gravity Falls’ Bill Cipher but it was changed due to it not fitting the character and due to Taka watching Sing on a plane and pitching “My Way” instead.
Didn't they say this in the video
@@goofy3517no one finishes the video before commenting. That's how you forget what you were gonna say.
He did breakdowns for these episodes?
@@michaelrhett4958 it was a special twitch stream back when ep 60 premiered, long lost to time now
I always related that song to the finale of Freakazoid.
@1:05:50 "It may not mean something in the grand mountain of art that influenced culture"
Dude, DBZA I would argue is a cultural icon. You guys kept the franchise alive when from nearly every official front it was dead silent.
It's one of the most quotable things in existence, and on top of that using those quotes, people recognize that and find each other and immediately form a bond and community. You brought, and continue to bring people together.
Thank you for sharing this with all of us.
Thank you for being an inspiration.
on top of that, references to this fan-made show are made in official products written by professional writers. it's impact should not be understated.
Yeah, I honestly feel like DBZA has had a way bigger impact on internet culture, and maybe even pop culture as a whole, than they give themselves credit for!
It really is one of the most quotable things in existence. Like, nearly on the same level as Spongebob. So many people recognize it and will have a laugh with you.
I would argue that any and all parodies and abridged series that came on during and that's will come after will hold dbza as the higest of bars of which to reach and , hopefully, surpass.
This is so insanely true. Even people who haven't *watched* any of DBZA know it exists and know quotes and tbh for people who dont even watch DBZA and/or dont even watch anime to know their 15 years of work and impact on the Dragonball community? Thats an incredible impact to have.
Scott broke me talking about Chris, dude was a legend not just as an actor, but as a nice person.
We didn't deserve Chris and Chris didn't deserve pulmonary disease :(
Chris wasn’t just a nice person, he was an absolutely FANTASTIC person
Yeah I remember it rip Chris 😢
One of my fondest con memories was getting close to Ohayocon staff with my friend and getting invited to the staff dinner after it was all over. Ended up sitting next to Chris and having a blast with the man. I'll never forget that experience. RIP 😢
Love you all thank you
34:18
Lani’s making sure to time it as perfect as possible,
Kaiser’s listening to the sound to assure the pitch is perfect,
And Taka’s trying to fit in one last bit to circle it all together.
Truly the perfect representation of all three coming together to make this series.
As the father of a boy, I feel Vegeta’s explosive reaction at a whole deeper level
As a father to a daughter I’m right there with you
I legit yelled out My Baby Boy when I found out I was gonna have a son
Bro seeing them all sing the “My Way” song was the most wholesome thing I’ve ever seen.
Loved it. Scott even covering an ear to nail the harmonies was a good touch! All three are great singers!
It also feels like them singing farewell to us a second time.
It made me tear up. It was way to emotional for me 😅
Curt turned it into "Our Way" at the end
To use a different legend's saying: "So, say we all."
Thanks to you all I met two wives. One who passed of cancer and your show kept her laughter to the end and my current who we sit and watch this show for date nights and laugh together every week. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart. I know you’ll probably never see this but you all created something magical for us nerds out here who were down, struggling, depressed and hurting and gave us some glimmer of joy. Thankyou❤
God this is beautiful, sorry for your loss
I love that Kaiser was so engrossed he didn't even return the middle finger.
30:31 one of the reasons why I thought it was so amazing to see Vegeta hit Cell at this point is also because earlier he got angry at Trunks’ suggestion of fighting Cell together. It shows how devastated he is, how he is willing to put his pride aside. This is the reason why the Vegeta in Buu arc felt like a natural progression of his character to be including his restlessness after Goku’s death
Underated comment right here
Ngl, there’s something absolutely inspired about Cell, in his final moments, rather than breaking down or regretting his actions, singing a song about how he regrets absolutely nothing because he got to do everything, well, his way. Sure, he could have avoided all this by making better choices, but they were HIS choices to make, and that’s what mattered. Guess he really wasn’t so different from his siblings after all.
It's a very Ultimate shounen badass villain way to go. The most well known Official one is probably Raoh from Fist of the North star, which earned him a real life "funeral" of sorts.
This all to say, Abridged Cell is in some MIGHTY FINE company.
Heeeeee! Regrets! Nothiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!
I like to think this caps off the "That is a poor decision" "Maybe but it's mine to make" running gag that 17 and 18 had
Best part is the song was written for Sinatra as a "fuck you" to him and he didn't get it. He thought it was his swansong when the dude who wrote it, Paul Anka, was just like "No you're just a dick."
@@bMt5553He regrets one thing: he never got to choke the life out of Tienshinhan
GOAT abridged series, GOAT commentary series. I hope every single person involved knows just how impactful this all has been at such a large scale. Thank you all for everything! Team three star for life 👊
PS - Taka absolutely CRUSHED the voice acting in e60p3 (not that he didn’t all series long - this is just Cell’s shining episode)
Proud of you for overcoming the substance stuff too. It’s been casually mentioned but lord knows that’s so much easier said than done
@@John-gl6th lol
1) This is a creator commentary series
2) Both this series, as well as the main series, are the greatest of all time of their respective categories in my eyes, so I think the use is perfectly apt, and no, the term is not dead
3) I defy you to list three abridged series that are the greatest of all time (again, in 2023, not a dead term) if not this one
Thanks for the input though :)
@@John-gl6th Hating on the goat is crazy
@@John-gl6thdid them singing "My Way" through tears mean nothing to you 😢
You: team three star for life
Me: no none of that… shame on you
When Taka lost it, so did i...😢
I did NOT expect i'd end up crying tonight...but here we are😭😭😭
LOVE YOU GUYS!
Rewatching this the day after Toriyama passed, and I’m once again struck by how beautiful this is. While a part of me would kill to have a season 4, I know in my heart this was the right place to cap off the series. Thank You TFS. And RIP Akira Toriyama.
Can’t believe Dumplin’s last word in the show is “Deprarious.”
You mean Popo?
@@thenightstar8312 It's a joke from TFS' Xenoverse playthroughs that the majin character they made named Dumplin' is Popo, and created the abridged-verse from his memories of interacting with the (relatively) more-canonical versions of the characters and events in Xenoverse.
I choose to take that xenoverse play through as canon.
"You're about to get DUMPED!"
@@Hailix4240 There's a convention in Michigan called Youmacon. The convention after this final episode aired I had the pleasure of attending, and I asked them if as part of Season 4 Popo would mention that he's a time-traveling Demon God. They said they wanted to make it canon, but weren't sure if they could fit it into the script yet.
I know this will get buried, but I want to say thank you all. I grew up with DBZA. I remember how huge it was to meet my friends after a new episode and all be quoting shit. How amazing it was to see the channel grow and do new things. I could recognize Lani, Kirran and Grant long before I could recognize any actors from normal movies by name, and seeing you all move on, it’s been an incredible ride.
Best of luck in whatever you all do in the future
I’m in the same boat. Half of my speech is their quotes. I know they’ll all grow to do greater things.
Funny enough Frank Sinatra never wrote my way someone else did it
I hear you bro. Season 3 was going on when I was in college. Me, Many of my friends, and everyone in the Anime Club would quote it all the time.
I always go out of my way to support fan made projects and independent projects more than anything from the mainstream.
Because independent creators deserve the most support.
The love for littlekuriboh is always so heartwarming ❤️
He is quite honestly, the one who started it all with YGOTAS, had that not been a success, who knows how things would've panned out
The conversation about love and hate really got to me. Especially because of Lani's comment about Kaiser and Taka being his brothers and not just his friends. A real friend isn't someone who never makes you angry. A real friend is someone you can get absolutely furious with and a few seconds later your all good again, because the hate doesn't matter only the love does. That is the friend that is closer than a brother.
You turned "VEGETA, YEEEEEEESSSS!" into his semi-official catchphrase. If you've done nothing else in this life, you've done that.
Did you see the Buu Bits? Because... yeah.
@@KedarOthort Vegeta ... ? Yes.
We also got Freeza's pizzas.
@@KedarOthort best bit of the Buu Bits is that whole segment "gonna take a page outa kakarots book, gonna hit you reeeeaaally hard"
@@afruas I did love that line
King Kai's "You SHOULD go to Hell!" Is one of my favorite deliveries in the show. Makes me laugh every time.
Kai is RIGHTFULLY pissed for Goku blowing them all up XD
I love king Kai’s “nice job specifying everyone on earth by the way, YAMCHA! YOU ASSHOLE!!!!”
Far as I’m concerned you guys are part of the larger Dragon Ball Franchise. When I do a franchise rewatch (yes I do those) I include you guys in that. DBZA is the comedy timeline. Thanks guys.
It makes sense to look at many dubs as alternate timelines
Before I start this last one, are definitely want to express myself. I remember being an Amazon delivery driver at the peak of covid, summer of 2020 and going through the darkest time of life. Going through my worst breakup, her slandering me to my own people, and having someone I can consider a second mother pass away a month after. I remember being stuck in that Amazon delivery for what felt like an eternity. Imagine being stuck in a steel box being left to do nothing but constantly dwell on it for 10 hours out of the day everyday. If it wasn't music I was listening to, it was THIS. I would listen / watch DBZA and Hellsing Abridged while I I was working because it kept me laughing. Provided solace and joy when I couldn't feel any on my own. It got to the point where I can do a lot of the voices myself too and like the 3 of you and your own characters, quote your favorite lines along with the show. What you guys have done will stand the test of time. Thank you guys for the sense of humor I have now. I was in high school when you guys started and now I'm a 33-year-old man. In Monster Hunter with the auto shout outs, they are all abridged references 😂😂😂 I love you guys and thank you so much❤❤❤
"So this is how I die...Down one arm and killed by an android...Why does this feel oddly familiar?" I don't know why but that's my absolutely favorite TFS line. 😂
I love Freezers "Oh please don't mind me. By any means: GIVE ME SOME IDEAS!"
It’s a subtle joke. They have made some great ones in their series.
I mean he went full Piccolo in the future, arm ripped off. Everything. Too bad regeneration couldnt be taught.
The *absolute rage* King Kai has towards Yamcha for specifying "on Earth" kills me every time. It's so good.
Hearing all of you sing "My Way" together immediately brought back the goosebumps I felt at age 17 when this first aired. This show was not just massively influential on my sense of humor as a teenager, but also, weirdly enough, a source of comfort. I was so excited for these commentaries because I wanted to hear your insight throughout all of these. It was incredibly engaging all throughout. Even if no one reads this comment, I just wanted to put this out there. Thank you.
Lani is totally wearing those sunglasses to hide his tears. I'm not crying! You're crying! OK I'm also crying! Tears of joy and laughter and wonder!
Thank you all so much for being here and making something so wonderful. I love you guys!
*Taka
It finally hit me. Taka is giving off Judge Doom (Roger Rabbit) vibes.
Vtuber in a human suit. He never takes off the glasses.
He looks like judge dredd without the oversized muscles to me
Oh shit you are right...
Remember when he talked like _THIIIIIIIIIIIIS?_
Im convinced thats not the real Taka, its a hologram and the REAL Taka is at home, just chillin
Remember when he drank that guy?
You guys are amazing and I remain in awe of your vocal talents, humor, and writing. It was an honor to be a small part of DBZ Abridged and it's an even bigger honor to be your friend. Congratulations on 15 years of incredible work.

THAT WAS YOU?!
Always glad to see you, sir. You've always been one of the examples I give out that there can be good people on the internet, just like the gents here. So glad you were a part of this fantastic enterprise as well.
Linkara, always a good guy.
Oh hey! It's that Guy with the Hat!
The lightbringer
Again CAN I PLEASE GIVE KAISER A HUG?!?!
Thanks so much guys for bringing us on this trip down memory lane, hearing about what this show has done for you guys has been so eye opening.
Yall took something special that people love and made something ELSE special.
When I am finally able to meet them IRL, I'm gonna thrown out of the con because I'm gonna want to bear hug each of them. With consent of course lol. Anything I can do to reciprocate the happiness and memories they've made for us.
I'll never forget when I was visiting my mom's house and I was doing a marathon of this show, and she just came out and asked " why are they screaming? Why are they always screaming? "
All moms asked that, didn't they? 😅
Last episode and I’ve wanted to write this for a while so putting it here: this show literally stopped me from unaliving myself. At a bridge, phone buzzes from a text from my mum and underneath it is a notification of a new episode, thought ‘watch it then do it’ it wouldn’t load on 3G so I power walked home to watch it, laughed so much when I got to watch it that I was too happy to even think about going back, that was about 7 years ago. Thanks guys x
I feel you, I had something similar where I had a literal mental breakdown and a short while later, my brother talks about thing silly ass thing on TH-cam that he heard about from school, and it was early season 2 dbza, we laughed HARD, I recognized masocoX from the Naruto abridged, and well I JUST kept watching.
I am glad you are here. I appreciate you and am happy you are adding to the joy of this world. Seriously. :)
I'm glad you're here and that you made it to watching the commentary to this episode. Keep shining that light of yours.
Your comment gave me chills. Sometimes the most random thing can be the sign or spark that saves you. I agree with everyone else that I am glad you are here.
Jeizus
Taka wanting to be a wrestling manager is the most sincere, sweet and wholesome goal that I've ever heard and I'm all here for it hoping he achieves it
Wonder if Sterling is looking for a manager ^.^
Taka in his Nappa voice: "Oh yeah, I saw it. I've already got my promo team on it. We'll have you on a plane tomorrow. You just do some pushups, sit ups, and pull plenty of buses...
...Champ."
Thank you Lani. Thank you Kaiser. Thank you Taka.
Thank you TeamFourStar.
You have all made something so dearly special and inspiring. You taught an entire generation that if they care enough about something, they can make it. At the very least, that's what it meant to me. Thank you
I may not have been alive to witness the glorious rise of DBZA, but I’m so glad I got to witness THIS
Bro me too! I missed the rise!
"Might not have been alive"?? Man, I feel old now. I remember going over to my friend's house to watch season 1 since my parents didn't want us watching "weird internet videos" when I was a kid.
10:24 funny story about them being at anime expo. Myself and a friend of mine were supposed to go together but he couldn't make it. He asked me to get him a shirt from them so I waited Patiently in line to buy one from kaiser. I thought hey why not ask him to sign it and then ask Lani and taka sign it. Kaiser was super nice (although tired looking) and signed the shirt. I asked him if Lani and taka would be able to and he pointed at them, laughed and said "if given the chance they'll sign it and more." So I walked over there and waited. An idea hit me to get a picture with them after they signed the shirt. So as they were signing the shirt I held up my camera to take a selfie with them and my friend called. For some reason I looked at taka and said "it's my friend who couldn't come see you guys today". Without skipping a beat taka took my phone and started to talk to him as nappa with Lani talking to him as vegeta. It was the single greatest con moment I've ever been a part of and to this day still referenced between us. This happened at anime expo when you guys were just sellers and the next year you came back as guests. Long story short; love you guys and keep it up
That’s fucking amazing
You gotta love a full hour of Scott and Nick just complimenting Kurtis, telling him how perfectly he played Cell.
And they're right, he's my favorite Cell
He was FANTASTIC, i loved every line
No disrespect meant to any other VA who played him but to me Taka IS Cell.
The fact that Taka was half in tears that whole time was so touching
honestly his my way is just so so ...perfect
Gotta love when your internet friends make you cry at 6 pm on a random Thursday. Love you guys.
Honestly, watching this commentary hits harder and cuts deeper than originally watching this episode.
The three of you singing "My Way" together almost brought me to tears. I had to say goodbye to DBZA once already, now I have to say goodbye again. Team Four Star has been such a huge part of my life since I was 16, I'm now 28 and still watch TFS almost every day.
I started watching this series all the way back in middle school. I’m 22 now and a college graduate, watching it end for a second time. I don’t know if anyone will see or care about this comment, but you guys, from DBZA, to the gaming channel, and everything in between, have meant the world to me, and have been foundational in shaping my humor. I still watch the old nuzlockes, and still love the stuff y’all put out. Thank you so much, Team Four Star. Now get back up, and eat your next horse!
Could'nt have said it better myself.
Their nuzlockes have helped me get through so many all-nighters!
I had the exact same experience! I remember watching them play evolve on their website in between episode and all the renegades for life. DBZA will always have a place in my heart.
So. I grew up on DBZ. As it released in the US on toonami.
It holds a special place in my heart, despite its flaws.
I prefer your version, fan homage/service or not 😂.
And yall have a special place in my heart as well.
Thanks for all youve done. ❤
Oh, and Android Saga wad my favorite.
RIP Akira! Toriyama-san Is looking down on you with immense pride. Thank you for inspiring others, and it's ok to be emotional.
What sticks out to me is that during the "VEGETA NO!" "VEGETA YES!", when Vegeta fires off that blast Cell actually braces for it. Dude wasn't quite sure if Vegeta being biblically pissed was actually gonna get him over the line or not.
Makes sense; when saiyajins get angry enough, things tend to get scary.
Vegeta did surprise him with speed of the final flash when cell first went perfect, makes sense he wouldnt take any chances after seeing gohan snap.
I mean a couple of years after this vegeta being absolutely furious allowed him to surpass the power of a SSJ3 as a SSJ2, that is actually an insane feat when you think about it
Honestly Kaiser's performance as Trunks with his dying "Help...Me", is so damn good. That delivery brought me to tears, because of how much is relying on Trunks and how that's his 'big reward' for coming back to save his future. It's so sad and so good!
Imagine if he wasn’t brought back… Future Bulma would have no way of knowing if the job was done ):
@thekuriboh275 not only that...Cell would become perfect and finish killing all the humans and probably take over the universe in that reality
Bc as soon as Trunks goes back he just DISMANTLES 17 and 18 in his future, which caps off Trunks' arc nicely I feel.
@@thekuriboh275 ""There's so many good stories where some brave hero has to give their life to save the day, and because of their sacrifice, the good guys win, the survivors cheer, and everyone lives happily ever after. But the hero never gets to see the ending. They'll never know if their sacrifice actually made a difference. They'll never know if the day was really saved. In the end, they just have to have faith. Ain’t that a bitch.”"
Now the tears may slow but never truly end. This show has meant the world to me. Thank you everyone involved. Thank you nick Scott and Kurt. You are my heroes and will always support you in all that you do. You brought a light into my life that I thought I didn't deserve. I love you all
Cell in this has always been a very musical character. He came into this show with a song, and went out with a song
Cell dying by singing "My Way" always gave me the impression that despite everything he at least died satisfied. Goku quit on him, and there's nothing fun about getting stomped by SSJ 2 Gohan. That final clash was completely even (in his mind Gohan being down an arm is still even, the guy is evil) and he only lost because of the tactical error of letting himself get distracted by Vegeta. Cell's "My Way" is his over dramatic equivalent of "GGs"
He never did get the chance to choke the life out of Tien Shinhan though.
@@MereImitation His greatest regret in life lol
And now… the end is here…🎵
and so i face… the final curtain…
And so we face... the final curtain
My friends… I’ll say it clear
I'll state my case... of which I'm certain...
I've lived...a life that's full.
That Mahogany desk really is supernatural, because I heard that callback from Trunks and it blew my mind
The three of you singing “My Way” together got me so damn emotional. You guys are amazing and I’ve loved re-experiencing this show with y’all.
Just a few episodes ago vegeta was adamant that a true saiyan warrior would never accept or offer help in a 1 on 1 fight and now vegeta puts aside his pride to help gohan, the son of his greatest rival. I love it
I am CONVINCED Lani has the BEST screams in ALL of English dub. you cannot convince me otherwise..
Lani is fantastic, but I promise you he will agree, nothing will ever top Bryan Drummond's, "You won't escape my wrath!"
Second best. After MasakoX.
Nothing will probably ever top the OG Sean Schemmel going even further beyond for SS3 or passing out in the booth for SS4, but Lani and really the entire DBZA cast hit some absolute God-tier deliveries in Season 3.
Masako??? He does all the screams for gohan and goku
@@dab316TV damn i forgot about that line. its great, ngl, but literally every scream lani does he puts 150% in it so i guess he just has more consistency hah
This is for all of you..... to Lani your voices have always brought a smile even in the shadow. To Taka I can't even imagine what darkness you have gone through but through 6 years of soberity all I have seen from you and now all the jokes you have made.... God its amazing keep up the work and soberity..... and to Scott thank you for taking the time and energy to make this for the fans...... I know all of you worked hard and one day I do hope to meet all of you. Once again thank you.
Hekk, I don't think I was ready to cry today... yall talking about feels conventions, meeting Chris Ayres, and all the heart that everyone put into the series hit me right in the feels... DBZA will always have a special place in our hearts. Yall keep being awesome! 😄
Seeing Kaiser break down when he mentioned Chris Ayres really got me 😢
"WHOA NELLY!" Is literally my favorite and most quoted line in DBZA. The delivery of the line is absolutely perfect. I love it so much.
It's even funnier for me since it's my name 😂
The LUNGS on that boy!
I quote "horse... eaten" all the time when i get off work
I always find it funny that one of the most evil, ruthless, heartless villains in Dragon Ball was played by one of the nicest and most sincere people, rest in peace Chris Ayres
Note to the editor.
Thanks for being there for us in the back. Not all heroes wear capes but you deserve one. I hope you have a great year ahead of you next year.
Some moments Scott looked like he was about to cry. These three truly cared about DBZ Abridged and should be proud of making something that Dragon Ball fans still enjoy years later
Im pretty sure he was when talking about Chris and tbh it was incredibly sweet.
He was absolutely in tears
That Lani screaming... My baby boy, made me soooooooob. I was already emotional and that ish smacked meant
I think it’s really, really beautiful how Kaiser talks about his feelings and openly shows such strong emotions when talking about how this show made him feel and how wonderful it was for him to be able to put his entire soul into a project so passionately. Made me tear up myself in a few places just seeing that this wonderful man was brought to tears because he was so proud of what he accomplished.
I will admit, when Chichi threatened them all with a fate that even the dragon couldn't undo, I thought it was a set up for everyone to frantically try and help beat Cell because if he died, Chichi would hunt them through the after life like a Terminator
No lie. Seeing Android 16 in heaven at the end of the credits made me cry when this came out. Thank you all so much for making this series. Watching the saiyan saga abridged with my dad are some of my best memories with him from the years before he passed. This series means the world to me, and watching you commentate over it has been phenomenal. Truly, thank you all.
There was a point before episode 60 when I'd been considering going to a convention specifically to ask them to give Android 16 an afterlife.
I honestly started crying when you three started singing, so good, Im so glad our paths have crossed in our lifes even if just through a smartphone display 😢
You guys did something special. from the ultimate collab of abridgers to essentially upping the ante for what abridging could be, to making something that many would consider an equal (if seperate) experience from the canon show and manga.
you paved the way for countless other hilarious people inspire by your work to make fantastic things.
We have the snippets of Buu now, and in my heart I always wish for the day we get a full buu saga
but if it never happens i'll be happy
if anything, i'd love to see a show, with your own writing concept and humor in the mainstream
you all brought the best laughs in hard times, and made us cry through a new lense with the show we grew up with.
Im glad i got to watch this again, thank you all for your work on this
God the talk about Chris Ayre's really got me emotional, the way you guys were close to breaking down, the man just sounded like one of the best people you could ever meet.
9 times out of 10, a lot of voice actors are usually really chill people. David Hayter for sure is one of em
@DirectorOfChaos9292 I can certainly name a few of those 1 out of 10s but you're right.
@@BmanTheChampOh yeah no they ARE rare but they do exist
To Taka:. You should be proud, and this is not a sign you COULD be an actor, it is evidence that you ARE an actor.
Thank you all for working together and making a series I have re-watched more times than I can count. And thank you for letting us watch you go through the journey again with you.
As a VA, he's a fantastic performer, without a doubt, comparable to any of the top VAs.
Taka, Lani, and Scott are so dang good and I wish they knew it as confidently as we do.
They deserve to be in huge projects and known as well as the OG dub voices.
I've always loved Cell's face as he's disintegrating matching up with the final "Myyyyyyyyyy waaaaaaayyyyy!" Absolutely immaculate work. It must have been a little difficult to get that to happen, but it, like Cell, was perfect.
I now REALLY want to go up to Taka or Scott at a convention, ask if they remember me, watch them panic, and then when they say no, I can respond with “good. We’ve never met.”
Started as a parody, ended as a masterpiece.
Thank you for everything ❤
One of the BEST ABRIDGED series to exist. SAO Abridged is a close second
❤️
The way he talks about Chris is so genuine and it shows how much this stuff means to him
You three, your team, your families, friends, neighbors, kind strangers, that have all helped you through your years, thank you. Not just for this series, but thank you for your inspiration, kindness, and feel good attitude you have made for this show. Thank you 🙏🏻
I saw a post on the TFS subreddit that used this speech, except it was King Yenma talking to Toriyama. So this speech hits differently now because of that.
My favorite part of the Dramatic Finish is I forget it's coming every time and it always makes me laugh.
I don't remember for sure, but I think I called it happening or at least, like Lani, said it would be appropriate then it happened.
Same!
For me it's the opposite. I could never forget it's there, but the anticipation waiting for it, followed by utter satisfaction (personally I think the whole scene ends perfectly)
I wasn’t there to say goodbye to the original DBZA
But now I’m happy to say I’m here to say goodbye to this version.
Thanks for making Z Abridged, TFS.
💜
Such an inspirational series of videos, thank you guys for doing what you love and sharing it with us.
I'm happy you guys get to experience so many amazing things. I hope your team, editors included, get to experience so much more!
"....You're better than ME..." Line always hits hard, I mean, how many fathers ever sincerely tell their kids that when they need to hear it?
Not nearly enough, unfortunately. That’s a powerful line that more people should be told and more people should be willing to admit.
Kaiser: "I did it for me. I was good at it. It made me feel... alive"
Scott: Say my name.
"You're HeiserNeko"
Scott: You're goddamn right.
You think of me like my role could be cut, like some filler side character.....no.
I AM the editor!
I AM the one who cuts!
Been a blast from the past rewatching these with you guys! Hope y’all have a great day whenever and wherever y’all are!
i am so happy for you guys, that you have come so far, and brought us something so amazing, you really bring joy to my life
To be completely honest: yamcha's phrasing of the wish never occurred to me until you guys pointed it out, it was REALLY subtle
In Yamcha's defense, he probably didn't know Goku IT'd to King Kai's planet.
@@otterfire4712 yes, but why just not say "everyone killed by cell"? why he had to specified earth, it's just unnecessary, making wishes is always bad if you don't phrasing right
Considering how King Kai treated him when he was there on his planet.. No, no it was definitely intentional.
@@valentdsYamcha doesn't really have a... galactic perspective. In his eyes "Everyone on Earth" is everyone
my personal fan theory is Yamcha was trying to loophole it so Goku was back on earth and revived with one wish. Instead of revived and than wished back to Earth.
I will never forget being part of a crowd of hundreds, where everyone was chanting "Satan, Satan, Satan" All together. Any christians in that hotel were certainly having rough dreams that night!
One of the best moments of my life, and I will always treasure how absurd that experience was.
On behalf of all of us who weren't there, thank you for doing that ridiculous thing!😊
This was so cool!! Thank you guys for all the amazing content throughout the years..Been a fan since the beginning, best of luck to you guys!! 🙌🏾
