I really love how Goku and Piccolo's friendship starts to grow in this episode, and the OG series. They really do become pretty good friends and Piccolo basically gets adopted into the Son Goku family. After all, nothing bonds two men more than committing several acts of Vehicular Manslaughter together!

[@justchill7823]

I think he even gets called "Uncle Piccolo" at some point in Super.

[@easydg8973]

Btw guys the whole muffin thing is a joke LOL im sure you already know that tho, what actually happened is Goku left Frieza's spaceship and found one of the Ginyu Force's spacepods at like the last second and used it to barely escape the destruction of Namek and then of course crashed on Yardrat where he trained and learned Instant Transmission which explains his clothes as well.

Don't even get on that "tingle at the back of your neck" bullshit.

[@raptros]

​​​​​​@@dreadpiraterobertsnumba5 Goku mentioned that sensation even before Super was made, and i always thought it made some sense, i mean everything that happens to them physically is a response to their mind states and emotions, and you can get a tense neck when you're angry. the way their auras waved and had all those peaks they were like brain waves, the stronger the emotional state and the higher the brain activity the stronger the vibrations they produced and that's how Toriyama represented it visually. Vibration also produces heat, which can ionize particles and make plasma and bingo, there's your ki blasts and your Kamehameha. But let's not get into thermo dynamics here😂. The tingling is just a physical response nothing else, just like the yellow hair and the green eyes. Don't think too much into it.

[@Jaimethepanda]

[@danielramsey6141]

It's really sweet of Goku to reach out to Yamcha after finding out he'd commit suicide in the future, give the guy anouther emotional anchor and some self-worth outside his failed relationship with Bulma.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

[@filipvadas7602]

10:55 This little exchange is even mire wholesome when you consider Yamcha is among Goku's oldest friends And, yeah, Yamcha basically gets the short end of the stick and nothing else from here on. Unless you're a Super Saiyan, a Super Namekian or an Android/Cyborg you're essentially cannonfodder

[@18Rada89]

Yamcha gets the short end of the stick since tien and chaozu introductions

[@danielramsey6141]

Thankfully things have gotten so much better for him! No seriously, Yamacha may be a joke on the fighting tier. But not only does the Abridge give him a better ending along with an extra short that boosts his look for the future Buu Saga. But in Dragon Ball Super, he’s actually friendly with Beerus, Manages to Win Baseball game against The Most powerful Fighters in existence! And in Dragonball Heroes episode 44, a powerful and beautiful Alien Warrior woman actually falls for him when he keeps the Alien Assassin “HIT” from killing her since seeing a lady dying is against his principals as a fighter! So far, I think Yamacha has it a lot better now than he had in the early 90s.

[@GirlofCulture]

"Wanna driving cars again?" "Hell yeah". That was a real thing actually. Chi-Chi only allowed the training because she demanded that Goku live and work like a normal person... so he also learned to drive a car... but that was a disaster... But at least he and Piccollo have saved a school bus with children from crashing... And they didn't pass the exam, because they remembered they can fly. 😅

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

😆 flying is much cooler than driving a car 🤩

[@kenbocole1460]

Some fun/interesting facts this episode. Trunks called Goku Sun Wukong because that is the name of the MC of "Journey to the west" which the OG Dragon Ball is based off of. No Yamcha never hanged himself in the Original, Yamcha is pretty well off and Happy. He is annoyed that Bulma dumped him for the guy who orchestrated his death, but he moves on pretty well. It's kind of sad to see Yamcha get picked on. He was one of the first supportive humans Goku ever met, and was like a big brother to Goku for a long time. Goku did learn teleportation on Yardrat, and most likely caught his heart disease there Tien's third eye is due to Tien being an descendent of an Alien who got stuck on earth, so Tien is also an alien/human hybrid. The reason why Piccolo and Goku were driving cars together was that Chi Chi ordered Goku to get a driver's license and Piccolo wanted to join in.

[@filipvadas7602]

I never thought about Yardrat being the source if Goku's illness but it makes sense. Both because the disease is never explained and becuase with Goku's saiyan phisiology it makes sense that he wouldn't even *feel* sick until it was basically too late

[@darkerkyo]

@Filip Vadas I wonder where he got that information from. I'm curious about that piece of lore.

[@Fat_Kids_Jiggle]

Only that first one is fact...

[@kenbocole1460]

@Jeremy Peake what do you mean? Yamcha never hung himself in the OG, while Goku catching the disease on yardrat is a fan theory that's why I added the likely part, Akira Toriyama himself stated that Tiens third eye comes from Alien Ancestory, and you can watch the filler episode where Goku tries to get his drivers license himself. The yardrat one is debatable, but all the others are straight from the manga or Akira.

[@noonegaming8685]

Sun wukong also translates to son goku in Japanese Goku most likely didn’t get the disease from yardrat since he got it 3 years after yardrat Piccolo did not want to join in, chichi also made piccolo get his license

[@Drocksas]

Fun fact, this arc in the series was written by Toriyama around the time the Terminator film(s?) were released. So, you can definitely see where he got some of his inspiration from for Trunks' story

[@FuckYoutubeAndGoogle]

Dude, Terminator 1 came out the same year Toriyama began the DB manga.

The Reveal, Trunks is the Future Son of Bulma and Vegeta, also remember I pointed out in the episode where Freeza planet 419's inhabitants kept SEEING THE FUTURE and one of the lines they said "BULMA AND VEGETA HAVE A KID", and in the episode where Vegeta was screaming over the Dragon Ball being stolen and everyone was hearing it, Trunks was the last one able to hear it in the Future "Once that time machine is done I can go back into the past to save Goku and my Fath… *hears Vegeta's Scream" … Daddy?"

Obligatory explanation: In the original, Goku is expected to contract a new virus that attacks the heart, and he'd die from it before the Androids arrive. Trunks gives him a cure for the virus that already exists in his time, so he'll be able to heal from it when it comes. In the Funimation dub, Goku says "It's purple too. I bet it's grape flavored!" TFS clearly decided to play with that in their own way.

[@ericmerrill9808]

The reason Trunks’s hair is purple is because that’s actually Doctor Brief’s original hair color before it turned white. And in some of the original art Bulma’s hair was also purple.

[@MrMeddyman]

The Driving School filler is an all-time classic

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

We will have to check out that episode after getting through dbza 🙂

[@crimsonknight7011]

When Trunks calls him Sun Wukong by mistake. That’s the name of the Monkey King from the novel series Journey to the West. Goku in Dragonball (not z) was based off the Monkey King. The Monkey King is actually pretty insane as he is insanely powerful and causes tons of mischief. I’d highly recommend watching something related to it because he’s up there for outrageous power.

Let’s take a moment to realize that Vegeta’s SON can turn Super Sayin but VEGETA HIMSELF CANNOT! Also, your reactions to the reveal of Trunks’ parents identities was DEFINITELY worth the wait!

[@Caldera01]

I do have to agree with Goku, Vegeta does look good in pink. The song "Highway to HFIL" is a reference to the fact how the show had to censor "hell" to "hfil" in the Ocean dub of the series. Team Fourstars took that term and ran with it, making it an acronym that stands for "Home For Infinite Losers". This might also be a good moment to point out that physics of time in Dragonball is NOT linear and there are multiple diverging timelines. This technically means that you can't save your timeline by going into the past, you're just making a new timeline continuum. This means that most everyone is dead in Future Trunks' own timeline.

[@jefferyoneill1]

Actually, HFIL is Home For Infinite Losers

[@wakkaseta8351]

Pretty sure the acronym was also created by Ocean Dub to help cover the censorship.

Yeah we enjoyed that highway to hfil reference 😆 didn’t know it stood for Home For Infinite Losers though haha. Just knew that it was supposed to replace hell. 🤗

[@AdeptusCaeiusIII]

The Android episodes ware probably the slowest part of this whole season, mostly because the 'Android Saga' in the show was meant to be a big setup for the next 'big bad' of the series. Akira had to set up huge stakes so that when he introduced the next bad guy, it was made clear how horribly slanted the whole situation was. That said, Abridged did a really good job of making the Androids fun characters, whereas their impact on the original show were pretty minimal (at first). They got expanded upon after the time where Abridged ends, but I'd heard through the grapevine Toriyama had been so impressed with the Abridged series that he'd decided to expand on some of the character in Super. Yamcha even becomes a professional baseball player!

[@wakkaseta8351]

It wasn't setup, he kept having to pump out new characters to take over the role of main antagonist because his editors didn't like the ones he was making. 19 and Gero were supposed to be the Main antagonists originally.

[@supremefankai5480]

Imma drop some lore on you two, who missed og Dragon Ball. Back in the early days of the series Goku's search for the mystical orbs got complicated when he bumped into the Red Ribbon Army, a terrorist organisation with designs for global domination, using the balls to wish for it after stalling despite their vast resources. Now these guys threw everything, from tanks and planes, to warships and missiles, at the young Goku, but his strength and skills bested them again and again. When their leader, Commander Red, hired the world's top assassin to kill Goku, the jerk killed an innocent civilian, turning Goku's quest from a leisurely romp to a personal mission to revive the poor guy. This culminated in storming their main hq and decimating it, ending the army as a big threat. Now for the more important bits, during the journey one of the weapons the army sics on our hero is Android 8, a Frankenstein's monster looking guy, but he's a pacifist and Goku befriends him, dubbing him Eighter, not the greatest name but it works. Now in the true show, Trunks tells Goku that the top Scientist of the RR Army and the lead creator of the Android series of weapons is Dr Gero, who survived the destruction of the HQ and swore revenge on Goku. There is no big reason for it, the guy just really believed in the Army's goal of conquest and hated losing his primary source of revenue. So the guy spends 14 years lying in wait, preparing to strike, and according to Trunks the time traveller, succeeds in ending the heroes with his latest batch of mechanical monstrosities. Now 11 years ago the top Android model waa #8, which number do you think the latest would be?

[@LukaBlight69]

In the og anime Goku does panic and once he flies out of Freeza's ship he sees one of the Ginyu pods falling and quickly gets into it and just hits the launch button. Its never explicitly said, but I think The Ginyus were going to Yardraat next to add it to Freeza's domain. I could be wrong though. I think in the og anime Goku does teleport to Freeza and his father and ends up killing them in F. Trunk's timeline. I think Trunks shows up to prove he's their ally and plus everyone would be gathered together to hatch out a plan to deal with the androids. I don't think he thought about Piccolo's super hearing, but Piccolo would keep the secret regardless. and obviously Yamcha does not cancel himself, he is killed with everyone else when they fought the androids. I remember being a little shocked TFS went there with that. xD There is a filler episode where Chichi makes Goku learn to drive a car, Piccolo is somehow forced to do it too. It's a really fun filler episode. :)

The whole android thing was always a little weird to me as a sci fi buff. I feel like that whole robotics field wasn't Toriyama's forte. I guess most people don't really know the difference, at least at the time, but it always makes my brain do a double take.

[@krbchris26]

Android is only a thing in the dub. The actual name that Toriyama gave them is Jinzo ningen which actually means modified humans. Still doesn't fit Android 16 or 19 but does make sense for all of the others. Toriyama actually has a great affinity for drawing and designing machinery. If you look at some of the art covers he's made for Dragon Ball that features a lot of Machinery you'll see he has a crazy eye for detailed machines

[@dagonofthedepths]

OH wait, some additional comments: i Love that trunks really does look like bulma and vegeta's kid. he's got the permanent angry eyebrows of vegeta with bulma's hair and eyes (although the colour is more like dr briefs' hair). trunks is probably one of my favourite characters in the entire series (piccolo, vegeta and gohan are closely tied), so i'm very excited to see what you think of him! he's only about 18 years old right now, so it's a great addition to the cast to have a teenager around. his awkwardness is massively endearing. i also think it's really funny how the entire world would've been destroyed by androids if piccolo hadn't overheard trunks' speech - goku also needed piccolo to remind him of the date and location in the original series, too! once again, great vid! thanks for the awesome start to the day

[@elyjoseputignano9701]

Actually, Goku was saved from the explosion in Namekusei because there were some of the Ginuo special force ships nearby. That escaped the planet and the disease has Goku attacks the heart in his time line, there is no such medicine.

Muffins are super heat absorbent. Yardrat butter is also 500% thicker than earth butter.

Science 🤓

[@brookerickettson4950]

Just Piccolo laughing in the background, and only Vegeta asking why. The rest know better than to poke the dark humor bear!!

[@yuriwilde506]

So lol. How goku actually survived was that he found one of the ginyu force ship and used it to scape. Same ship he came to earth with lol Also i dont think they mentioned it during the frieza saga, vegeta actually destroyed the ship's main power source. So the ship was unopperable from the beginning

Muffin Button is better explanation 😜😁

Well, I knew I was going to love your reactions to Trunks’ lineage. And his conception. As good old George Takei says, “OH MY~!” Also, what was wrong with Bulma’s idea, Vegeta?! You could have done it together! Made a date out of it!

[@maxacorn]

ok. here's the story as i heard about vegeta and bulma. so akira toriyama, the creator of dragonball, actually wanted to end the series at the freeza saga. freeza dies, the planet blows up and goku's fate was supposed to be left up in the air. DBZ would originally ended with an adult gohan basically taking his dad's place as earth protector. but the higher ups at shonen jump didn't want the series to end, since it was so damn popular, so they had him keep it going. toriyama, at the time, was experiencing burn out, as do many mangaka back then and to this day, and didn't want to keep working on something like this. so he decided to basically sabatoge his own work: he broke up yamcha and bulma, who had been together since the original dragonball and hook bulma up with vegeta. he assumed that doing that to such an long time couple would turn fans off, sales would drop, and SJ would just cancel the series outright. but something happened that he didn't foresee: fans actually liked bulma and vegeta as a couple. so much so that sales doubled. so toriyama made his work more popular and vegeta and bulma became one of anime's greatest couples. another note: unlike in DBZA, we never actually see vegeta and bulma hook up. its implied at the start of this arc that bulma was started to fall for vegeta but we don't actually see it happen. it's really one of the greatest mysteries of DBZ.

The whole cyborg versus Android argument is actually talked about a lot in the Dragon Ball community. The term Android is only present in the dub. In Japan they're known as Jinzo ningen, which actually means modified humans, ie human beings who have been turned into machines

[@BJGvideos]

Even the ones that are entirely mechanical?

[@krbchris26]

@@BJGvideos yes. So it's literally wrong both ways!!

[@zeallust8542]

Yeah, in English they are technically Cyborgs, but I feel like Android sounds better so they may as well use it. (Was the OG Dragon Ball dubbed already? I seem to remember Z getting dubbed first). Cause if the first Red Ribbon androids we see were called androids because they actually were androids it would make sense to keep the term for the new ones even if its technically wrong.

[@GirlofCulture]

Be prepared for the next DBZA-Movie. It's very close to the original (because TFS respecting the sourcematerial) and intense...

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Thanks for the heads up 🙂

[@Tantalus010]

Something they cut out of DBZA (and I get why) was a particularly haunting dream Vegeta had where both Goku and Trunks go Super Saiyan in front of him. In DBZA, they play it off as simple frustration, but in DBZ, Vegeta's pride was seriously wounded by the fact that two others could go SSJ and he couldn't. Also, something DBZA won't ever explain: Goku can only teleport to an energy signal (someone with a power level). He can't just teleport anywhere he likes. That's why he stole Roshi's glasses: he needed someone far away that he could "lock" onto. In DBZ, he was going to teleport to Frieza once Frieza and King Cold landed on Earth, but when he sensed Trunks's power, he knew everyone was safe, so he didn't bother. Apparently energy sensing also gives you the ability to tell good energy from evil energy.

[@TheUltimateRare]

5:40 If you wanna hear a fun fact that is also super dark.. They thought about having Yamchas cat say "..Can i stop being the rope now...?" Because his cat can transform into almost anything. even ropes. But even THAT was TOO DARK For TFS's sake.

[@OldManAlex719]

I don't think anyone pointed it out to you guys yet, but if you noticed, Goku shows traits of being high functioning, with extremely high intelligence when it comes to fighting, which is his character canonically. In the main series, he's an idiot. But in the Abridged series, that idiocy is amplified to the Nth degree.

[@anonop7318]

Is history of trunks the next video? Pls let it beeee

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

😁😇

[@TaylorPrem]

Next time on Dragon Ball Z Abridged. Spoiler Alert. Tien: Oh come on really man you couldn't last like thirty seconds?

[@madhavmandava]

You may have guessed most of the names are parodies.....trunks as in swimming or male trunks..bulma is Japanese female undergarments company...but my favourite are the ginyu force...they are dairy products....racoom(creem) butter(butter) jeese(cheese) gurd(curd or yogurt) & ginyu is milk....and they are also parodies to power rangers or Japanese super sentais

[@Romanthony2007]

Just to update youTFS have recently, gotten to this episode, and claified something when Goku states The Yardrats "Fed him there sick" In the UK sick is slang for Vomit for the longest time ever I thought thats what they meant, but they clafieied that no the Yardrats was feeding Goku Yadrat sick people x3

[@TheRhuen]

The Red Ribbon Army is from the original Dragon Ball...the "mad scientist" however was not introduced back then, a different scientist *granted as filler for the anime* was introduced for the Android Project...officially only one Android was known from that era to be part of this same line of androids...there are fan theories on others from the original Dragon Ball...nothing official though. I won't say anything else on that, only that don't expect this to go away anytime soon. Also Death Battle may spoil a lot of them...honestly surprised you didn't know Trunks already, Death Battle even has him in a few fights.

[@ghostchannel4766]

A few notes about the original: Namekians (and Piccolo by extension) have super hearing, so Piccolo is able to hear the conversation while no one else can (thus he corrects Goku). Yamcha dies to the Androids, too. The driving episode is an iconic filler that happens. There's a few more things, but some are spoilery, so I'll end it here lol.

[@kuroganekaze]

"The fuck's a condom." aside from being really funny is also the first uncensored fuck in DBZA.

[@YhokoCaeda]

By the way in the original story: -It's a new heart virus that kills Goku (not his cholesterol) trunks come back in time to give goku a cure for the heart virus which has been discovered in his time. -It is actually grape flavored. Goku is excited for receiving the medicine and says Wow Awesome I bet it's grape flavored too! -Goku tells Trunks he could've teleported to stop freeza and was going to but didn't because Trunks showed up, Trunks didn't realize and said he would have stayed out it in order to keep his coming to give goku the medicine a secret. -Goku and piccolo do go driving. They essentially become family and chi-chi makes them go get their driver's license so they both go together. Piccolo is good but drives like an old man and goku is reckless as hell and goads piccolo into a race that causes them both to fail.

[@IBrowneeI]

That was the first time ‘Fuck’ was uncensored for the series. And given the scene that just played out, appropriate.

[@Animedingo]

Ok so there's a joke here about how the dub handled the english translation of androids Some of the characters are Cyborgs, as in humans turned machine And some are Android, which are completely mechanical

[@Bbr0keN]

well that vegeta and bulma moment might've been accurate to the original show, since they never showed that part... obviously. We got the hint on when goten got created in the DBZ: Kakarot game.

[@kingbeauregard]

"Sun Wukong" is legit funny. the Monkey King protagonist of "Journey to the West" that Goku is loosely based on.

[@SomeBody-_-Yt]

Heart virus is actually an epidemic, in DBZ. That caused Goku's death.

[@ZarrarAAli]

Goku saying "you're my friend" to yamcha is what stopped him from killing himself
