Dragon Ball Z Abridged Episode 34 Reaction

[@kenbocole1460]

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]

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.

[@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. 😅

[@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

🤗

[@DeadMoon1986]

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.

[@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

[@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?

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!

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.

Fun fact about the heart medicine bit: the high cholesterol is a bit for abridged. In the original anime, it wasn't necessarily a heart attack, but a heart virus that killed Goku, and Bulma in the future gave the medicine to Trunks, to give to Goku. It's a "cure" of sorts for the virus, and Trunks instructs him that when he starts to feel symptoms he should take the medicine.

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

The reveal of trunks being Vegeta’s & Bulma’s son makes that line Bulma made last episode so much worse 😂. The muffin button saving Goku is the most Goku thing I could think of .

10:53 You can have your ghost Nappas and Gurus, but this is my favorite line of the Abridged. Wish Toriyama wrote that. Don't forget that not 10 minutes ago Goku made a joke about Yamcha being the doormat of power levels as well. Yamcha is quite literally one of the five oldest friends Goku's ever had, older than Krillin. 13:47 Best part, I'm totally willing to believe that's how it happened.

Thanks!

Thank you so much! 🥳🤗

Son Wukong is the name of the monkey king who was forced to travel west with a priest as punishment for his many pranks on the gods using a magic circlet that tightens around his head at the priest's whim. The story is called Journey to the West and many of the characters in Dragon Ball are based off of them (Goku as Son Wukong, Krillin as Tang Sanzang the Priest, Oolong as Zhu Bajie, etc.).

Isn't Bulma more properly Tripitaka?

[@galiiard7338]

its cool that you guys are learning the DBZ story from Abridged; really its the fast and funny way to watch the series

[@kayzeaza]

Trunks meeting Goku is always the best. The abridged is great but the original scene is awesome too!

[@The_One_In_Black]

The cut extended version of the Yamcha Yamcha-ing himself scene: Puar (the shapeshifter cat) being heard saying "Yamcha, can I turn back now?" after the part we see.

[@wingedbluj1674]

He said "Yamcha, can I stop being the rope now?"

[@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.

[@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.

[@SaviHow]

Quick question, are you guys going to react to highlights of actual DBZ after the abridged ends? Because the Abridged doesn't cover the whole anime and I think it would be cool to see your reactions to the events that come after

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

We would most likely react to highlights of things that aren’t covered and maybe going back to watch some stuff that we saw that was iconic in the show 🙂 depends on copyright though so may have to edit around some parts 🤗

[@IBrowneeI]

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

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

Science 🤓

[@dagonofthedepths]

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]

@@krbchris26 Oh didn't know that, that makes way more sense. Although I didn't really like his designs. But I grew up on Masamune Shirow's work and he kind of specialized on that stuff. So my perspective is a bit skewed.

[@kingbeauregard]

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

[@thewandering01]

It's really interesting watching your reactions to this, because the past few episodes have had a lot of in-jokes for fans who knew who Trunks was and his whole backstory, so it was really cool to see people who aren't fans of the original show being blindsided by it like I was back as a teenager. In any case, I bet a lot of things from the last episode or two take on a whole different meaning for you two now, whether it's some small things like Trunks reacting to Freeza bragging about being the ultimate combination of biology and machine with a sarcastic little "Oh yeah, I've never heard *that* before", or a full understanding of the absolute horror Trunks is feeling when Bulma flirts with him.

[@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

[@yuriwilde506]

Bulma does make sense with her plan to stop the androids before they appear. And this plan was also in the show. And yes, they alos said no because they want to fight

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Bulma was taking their fun 😝

[@yuriwilde506]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 basically xD i cant blame hee though haha

[@DementisXYZ]

Second time watching this reaction, it was just so good. Loved your reactions to the reveal of Trunks's lineage. Fun Fact: the Yamcha scene gets darker. There's a deleted version on TFS's channel where, while he's hanging out, you hear Puar (who is a shapeshifter, though it's not addressed much in this series) ask, "Yamcha, can I stop being the rope now?"

[@mageeaaron2624]

5:29 Oh no 😬 👀

[@Chimerayuri3]

I know the voice actress who played Bulma, and every time I watched someone react to this episode I reminded of how awkward it was she told me to dub

[@lonewolfjedi493osswfan]

I love the Doctor Who references with Trunks. Now would be a good time to watch History of Trunks

[@krbchris26]

Not till the get to 17 and 18's reveal

[@lonewolfjedi493osswfan]

@@krbchris26 Oh, right, thanks

[@thechatteringclown]

As someone who didn't grow up with the english dub, I'm not ashamed to say it took me way too long to remember they censored hell as "home for infinite losers" in the dub, so that's why goku is calling it hfil. I always was confused why he wasn't just saying hell.

[@thedarkprince1987]

I believe they took clips to multiple episodes for this. I believe it was four episodes

[@Chucky_Martinez]

Goku surviving by the Muffin Button is the best way to explain him surviving Namek's destruction

[@TheDeathOmen]

Especially since it makes equally as much sense as the original, which is to say no sense whatsoever, at least this was a fucking explanation lmao

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Fact 😆

[@dandychiggins7240]

The stupit voice they give to Trunks tho 😭😂 Just so you know, Bulma and Yamcha were together still at this point... Also the driving cars episode is probably the best one ✨️❤️
