Dragon Ball Z Abridged EP 56 | DBZA REACTION

Dende saying "that hurt me more than it hurt you" is a reference to the fact that namekians are sensitive to whistling as established in Lord slug and that's why piccolo went "ow!" when Dende wolf-whistled.

This was honestly my favorite of your reactions to this show. Just the fact that you actually understood the "go for ten" joke and the android 16 is gero's son bit, something I have seen others somehow miss, just made my day. Can't wait for the next one!

[@marianarobles7735]

In the original, Vegeta, Trunks and Piccolo went separately into the Time Chamber during the 10 days before the Cell Games and somehow didn't get stronger, or at least not significantly, one would think at least Trunks and Vegeta would get mastered super saiyan just like Goku and Gohan, but they didn't, so going in alone, becoming crazy and leaving early after a couple of days is TFS explanation on why none of them got stronger.

[@LightStylex]

As Vegeta would say: POWER LEVELS ARE BULLSH*T!

[@italianspiderman5012]

Omg,I just noticed the “GO for TEN” joke,after watching the series like four times,well played tfs,well played.

I would have loved to see Gohan deal with the corrupted dude with the bunker, and Tao Pai Pai, and getting to know the friendly grandpa and the first girl he gets to meet

[@NarutoTsunadefan1]

I loved that scene at the beginning in actual DBZ because I remember Goku just resting peacefully while Krillin thinks that Goku is actually on high alert and chucks a rock, which nails Goku in the forehead and causes him to scream in pain and yell at Krillin ‘Why did you do that?!’ Also, I’ll forever be sad we didn’t get to see Dende’s interactions with Videl in Abridged since they had to stop at the end of the Android Saga.

It took me just now realizing that when Dende whistles. Piccolo says ow because of how it’s Been established that whistling is painful for them. And therefore since Dende was the one creating the sound. It did in fact hurt him more than it hurt piccolo 😅😂😂😂

[@1melkor]

"He did more work than Kami ever did". Kami, who created dragon balls on Earth, trained kid Goku with Mr. Popo, kicked the crap out of Yamcha and recreated Moon at least two times: "Am i a joke to You?!" :P

[@tregrenos8615]

The part about 16 being based off Geros son wasn't just a creative decision by DBZA, but rather Toriyama mentions this in an old interview. He never states this in either the anime or manga, so this and the Super movie (I've not seen the movie yet) is a lot of peoples first time learning this. Toriyama always had a freeform style of writing without any hard plans, a noticible difference being the Android/Cell (where his producer directed Toriyamas efforts) and Buu (where Toriyama was kinda left unchecked) arks, so him forgetting to mention this (along with a large part of the original Dragonball roster) sounds pretty valid to me. I'm not sure if it's his canon name or not or even if I'm spelling it correctly, but MasakoX (voice of Goku in DBZA) calls him "Gearbol" on his channel that deals in a lot of "What If" Dragonball stories. I don't remember him mentioning the name was something he made up, so I'll assume it's canon. Seems fitting anyway. Gero "Gyro" and Gearbol "Gear". Something else mentioned in that old interview was that Gero actually wanted to help humanity. He was using the Red Ribbon Army to fund his cybernetic research before Goku ends up killing his son. Gero was never a "nice" person, but neither was he "evil". It was the years of grief that lead him to become who we see in the anime and manga. With how Toriyama got a lot of his ideas from other media I suspect Gero is a "Lex Luthor" kind of situation. While his vengeance against Goku was an initial driving force learning that Goku was an alien and that there are stronger of his kind out there, information from his bots that were destroyed only after Vegita and Nappa landed, he probably became more aggressive with his experiments to counter this likely danger.

[@GirlofCulture]

"I'm already pregnant.." "...HOW!?". Actually...i think that is a thing even Goku would say in the original show. 😅

[@ap7635]

Only just realized why that date sounded familiar to Bulma. I thought she just remembered when Goku fought the red ribbon army but May twelfth is also the date the androids attacked.

[@JambleBramble]

The "hot Asian wife" gag is a reference to a white pro wrestler who, when working as a heel in Japan, bragged about his hot Asian wife to draw ire. Lanipator and Takahata are both big wrestling fans (which tracks because it's just theatrical Shonen).

[@neogokiMK00]

Guru came back for a bit, then he was eaten. Later he is part of the cast of HIFL

[@Shay_Mendez]

10:34 I think the reason Piccolo can't do it is simple. Personality dominance. Kami wasn't much of a fighter and when he split with his angry side from the exposure to the angry, evil sides of humans, King Piccolo became obsessed with fighting while Kami retained his peaceful Namekian nature. Piccolo didn't fuse back into Kami, Kami fused with Piccolo, so the dominant personality took over. Hence why Piccolo is a fighter and not a Namekian magic man.

[@Superhero18]

[@dsimi415]

It isn't a tired Goku, it's an awkward Gohan because of the noise in the background. I don't think I need to explain what the noise is. The subtitles literally say all of this

[@evman1094]

Just to clarify, Piccolo Daimao was also a member of the Dragon Clan, due to him and Kami being the same person originally, but he deliberately birthed Piccolo Jr as a member of the Warrior Clan. Despite him not knowing what a namekian actually is, he knew that he was the physically weaker version of his species, and made Piccolo Jr the stronger version. Dragon Clan can lay eggs, use healing magic, and make dragon balls, while the Warrior Clan can absorb other members of the same clan, and they mature faster (Piccolo is fully matured at only 3 years old when he fights Gokū in the last arc of Dragon Ball, whereas Dende still looks like a child even 5+ years after the end of the Namek Saga, and still only looks like a teenager during the Buu Saga)

Also, it was said that Gero built 16 to be a "pacifist" because he didn't want to "see his son die twice" in some fight or warzone. While i'd like to keep the second part as canon, TFS really magnified the origin of Gero's visceral hatred for Goku with that one.

The whole Android 16 being based on Gero’s son fact was revealed by Toriyama in a interview a while ago. Honestly does add a much deeper layer for Gero’s hatred for Goku. I wish he had included this when he was actually making the manga but hey better late than never I guess. Anyways after you do finish reacting to TFS’s broly movie but before getting to the Cell games episodes, I would recommend reacting to TFS’s series of short videos called ‘Cell Vs’. Each episode basically has characters from different franchises challenging Cell to a fight before the Cell Games begins, taking place between Episode 56 and 57. So if you’re into crossovers then I’d suggest checking these videos out. It was pretty cool thing they did while we waited for them to abridge the cell games. Good times lol.

It's why he's the strongest android, but Gero didn't want it to fight, so his son doesn't "die" again and gave him kind personality. TFS were just first to "animate" that. It was also in DB FighterZ story mode before Super Hero came out. 18:11 Watch HFIL that TFS is kinda making after this ends.

Someone tell AniMelon that after she watches the Broly movie, to make sure she watches the "Cell vs" episodes. Get those out of the way before the tournament starts.

[@Sinvare]

The most recent DBZ movie seems to have taken some inspiration from DBZ abridged. I think that Dr. Gero backstory change/update was taken directly from Abridged. It is a motivation for Gero that convincingly explains his blind rage at Goku. It makes sense with the shared fans/conventions and the fact there has been some communication at least behind the scenes between the people who work on Super and DBZ abridged.

[@BJGvideos]

They didn't make up that 16 was based on Gero's son. It comes from an interview with Toriyama that also revealed the real names of the twins.

Also, while you were pausing and having a real talk about Goku's struggles I was dying of laughter waiting for you to unpause and hear what he was REALLY talking about lol. Same with the crazy amount of sex jokes this episode. Dunno why they're so funny, but they are. Maybe it's the reaction to them that's making them seem funnier to me. I really love that original animation addition of Gero's son in that video. The detail talking about cyborgs, the bird in it. Adds a lot of depth, and adding the plotline of Goku killing him. It hits almost as hard a Goku himself does.
