it is impressive how strong the dragon ball community was even during a period when there was almost no official DB content beside the occasional videogames every 3 or so years, no wonder why shueisha had dollar signs in their eyes when toriyama decided to create new DB stuff again lol also i dont blame you for not being able to pronounce my name haha, it is literally just gibberish

[@BuckingBeasts]

Damn I didn’t expect you to be in these comments!! I agree the games and the fandom really carried the fandom during these times lmao

[@epicfish8134]

Man it’s insane how much DB stuff we get now, pre-battle of gods DB community is very nostalgic for me

[@JodaroKujo]

Yeah It’s crazy

[@AdventVFX]

HONESTLY a Tenkaichi 3 HD remaster would've been a godsend for me at that time, tenkaichi 3 on wii was notoriously hard for me to get at retail as they stopped production pretty quickly cause around the early 2010s I've never seen it at retail but I did have a PS3 and the closest thing to Tenkaichi 3 was the raging blast games but honestly would've rather had BT3 so childhood me was pissed when that this never happened.

[@BuckingBeasts]

YES! I remember my friend and I were struggling to get any version iteration of the BT series in late ‘09. Not sure how he got his for the Wii, but I managed to get mine from a game store that barely anyone visited. Sadly there will prob never be a BT3 remaster, because apparently they lost the source files to files to even do it…

[@akilez04]

absalon was goated. sick video cuz

[@BuckingBeasts]

Absalon’s opening was such a banger. Thanks 😄

[@shaimran8933]

This whole thing was insane nostalgia nice video indeed bro

[@heyitsaye9439]

Happy this showed up in my recommendations, especially since 2009-2012 were the most nostalgic years for me to be a dragon ball fan during that time

[@untouchedpoke]

Love these type of series videos

[@விஷ்ணு_கார்த்திக்]

Now this is pretty clever DB content niche! Not many youtubers cover the different eras of DB fanbase.

[@BuckingBeasts]

I’ve had this idea for a couple years, so I figured that I would cover it before someone else does lol

[@DrFunk98]

This brings me back. Cause this was the year I got into Dragonball, and man I remember so much of this.

[@shrubby8967]

Such a well made video!! Love it man keep at it 🙌🙌🙌

[@ZarrarTheLegendary]

awesome video series

[@blainethepaine]

this might be the single most nostalgic video on the internet for me

[@bayleepama]

Those multiverse vids were so good almost forgot about it

[@MojoRiad]

I miss 2012 so much, Pure nostalgia

[@dontcheckitontop]

this video had me overflowing 🙏😊

[@bnbnism]

Really good video keep it up these kinds of videos are great would you consider doing some for earlier time periods like 2007+ covering stuff like DB Online, the early stages of the Abridged, Kai announcements, Yo Son Goku special, and so on?

[@BuckingBeasts]

Thanks! I’m considering something like that for the 2000s, but it might be hard for me to cover everything considering I really became a DBZ fan in 2009. So a lot of that video won’t be as in depth as compared to this. But never say never though

[@bnbnism]

@@BuckingBeasts thanks sounds great I love those nostalgic videos that take me back to late 2000s for DB and more would be great keep up great work as usual thanks

[@SDAWG-69]

January 1st is your birthday damn bro, also new sub alert!

[@BuckingBeasts]

It’s crazy to think that the One Piece creator was born on that day too. Thanks for the sub😄

lol honestly I get that, just kinda wanted to play along and see how unhinge the reply would be lmao

[@Essu_]

TO BE FAIR Super (SAI)-yan is the phonetically correct way to pronounce the word. Also the EU version of Budokai 1 never had an English dub. It was always English subbed. November 2nd 2002 is the correct release date (for Europe), but that version didn't have English voices. It wasn't until December 3rd 2002 when the game was brought to America where they dubbed it in English.

[@BuckingBeasts]

Ahh that makes a lot of sense. I never owned Budokai 1 or Budokai 3 on PS2 until recently (just to add to my collection). But still such a weird decision choice for a HD remaster

[@JodaroKujo]

Rhymestyle in that video sounds like a completely different person 😂 Also the KSI burst limit video was so funny to me

[@emaccnn]

4:14 I remember that, I have both versions of raging blast 2

[@damiancooper8365]

Its wild how sparking omega might have actially been sparking 0 at some point in development

[@eternalvibes6858]

I miss these days. Watching full dbz movies on yt and praying for DBZ news 😂

[@dragon666777]

just found this video series, it's really interesting to remember what the "dark ages" of dragon ball were like, recaps like this also help a lot in showing people who got into dragon ball through things like abridged or super what things used to be like before abridged exploded in popularity around this time and battle of gods came out the original broadcast of kai went out like a wet fart, having ended prematurely with the android saga and the final episode didn't even air on TV in the US, it was exclusive to nicktoons's website for a time, and you could tell that toei had barely any interest in continuing it, even the buu saga was only originally planned to be developed solely for the overseas market because of kai's terrible ratings and sales in japan, there was no true spark of popularity for this franchise again outside of abridged until battle of gods was released things were really rough for old dragon ball fans, hoshi especially is one of the most obnoxious things from this era because every few months people would say that it's coming any day now using new footage they took from the heroes trailers, I remember people even using the dragon ball online promotional trailers as "footage" of the series, it's similar to what people do now with the fake news about the super anime returning, but hoshi never had any actual ground to stand on for people to actually believe in it outside of desperation for new content

[@BuckingBeasts]

Hoshi was one of the most obnoxious things that was in my recommended back then. I’m glad that social media has evolved to a point where we can debunk things like this

[@Dodomaxx]

Good idea for a video

[@ghoulgirl99]

This is like Kanzenshuu tier. So much details and information. Its like I’m back there hell yeah 😎 ❤ 🙏

[@JaycodaJr]

Every now and then, I do think back to those times. Even Absalon brings back profound memories for me.

[@SWOONYMOONY]

I didnt realize how popular DBZ was 😭😭

[@BuckingBeasts]

Bruh it’s like in the top 25 highest grossing franchises of all time (just behind Batman) 😂

[@aquaboltz7272]

This era I was 8, i was actively on youtube watch EVERYTHING

[@UnderratedOverDog]

So basically my whole dragon ball childhood outside the main series was 2012 lol

[@uchihabomber1296]

Man I still remember Dragon Ball stuff around this time and I was only 11. Seriously tho I feel like the Dragon Ball community is the biggest anime community in the world that spreads THE MOST misinformation to this day and it's pretty crazy.

[@wbcoyote]

has a recent fan of db these are interesting to watch

[@stale_cheeto]

The guy in the dbz kinect commercial pronounced Saiyan right lmao. If anything we're pronouncing it wrong

[@KegOfMeat]

Australia also had no dub for the Budokai 1 HD Collection.

[@richborn6700]

Oh the halcion days of pre BOG and Super. Back when there were 4 forms and three series. Channels like Qaaaman, Blackenfist, and especially Geekdom hadn't come around yet. I miss these old days honestly. ALSO Death Battle released the original Goku vs Superman video in 2012

*Goku vs. Superman was in the beginning of 2013 lol

2012 was such a weird year .first year out of highs school and totaly lost dont rmemebr anything from it honeslty

[@eternalvibes6858]

I think DBZ Absolon ended up being on Toonami

[@BuckingBeasts]

You might be thinking of those fanmade Absalon Toonami ads, because there’s no way they would allow an unofficial product on there lol

[@dragonballgacha]

4:58 ...but he said it right. What's the issue?

[@BuckingBeasts]

For an English focused audience, it’s pronounced “Super Say-in” - and considering that this ad is for Western audiences, someone should’ve directed the narrator in how it’s usually said - but it shows how rushed/cash grabby they were with getting this ad and game over and done with

[@BuckingBeasts]

Depending on your preference, but sucks that there was no option to choose from

[@ve69]

@@BuckingBeasts The BT series didn't have a Japanese dub with English subs unless you got your hands on a fan translation sadly. So i think getting something close to the Anime experience is better honestly

[@BuckingBeasts]

@ve69 Did yours not come with English subs? I remember mine did except for the VS. interaction quotes

[@patricksquarepants8000]

I wish the subtitles were accurate instead of just using the dub’s subtitles though.

Covered that in the 2010 video

[@Valientlink]

2012 was a pretty good year, I think everything went to shit after that honestly, especially music, and then Sandy Hook and whatnot at the end of the year, just horrible. As far as KZbin goes it was way past its prime though, 2006-2008 were peak.
