Whoever they had voicing Gohan in History of Trunks was perfect, shame they couldn't have the same voice for Gohan here.

[@relic5752]

@@AlanGresov They had two reasons for not bringing back the VA from FoT. One: Gohan in Buu is 17 whereas Future Gohan is 24, the different VA's would highlight this age difference. Two: they wrote Main Timeline Gohan and Future Gohan to be effectively two different characters, Future Gohan is a broken man who never got over his daddy issues and hallucinates his mentor's voice in his head whereas MT Gohan is a down-to-Earth teen on the path to becoming a fully actualized adult. They felt as though having his edgey, broken down, 24-year old voice wouldn't fit the younger, goofier, sane persona he has in the Buu arc

He's ultimately a "break down" channel, not really a review/opinion channel, although it's not impossible for those to co-exist. Take care John.

[@jthecryptid]

The mouth popping open on Super Buu is a TFS edit! They wanted to lean a bit more into Majin Buu's eldritch/cosmic horror nature, and considering Buu is a shapeshifter and his lesser predecessor Cell could copy the voices of his prey, its perfectly plausible. Easily my favorite bit from DBZA

[@eagleeye5189]

I know you guys have a particular way you choose what series to do, but given that it's only Eric reacting to most mainline Dragonball content these days I feel like it'd be cool if you all reacted to some Dragonball.

Gohan is the strongest singular (not counting any fusions) character in all of DBZ.

[@dudepersonbroguy]

Just so yall know the kamekameha joke is also a joke they do in the original. It's not really a TFS joke TFS just added the "why say it at all' "because it sounds cool!" In the original Trunks just laughs at him and says he said it wrong and it ends there. Edit: didn't know about the other "kamekameha" thing. I don't think that's the reference but that's funny. Also note on why there are 2 types of fusions here. There was originally only supposed to be metamoran fusion (or fusion dance) but when Goku and Vegeta were gonna fuse the Janemba movie was being made and Gogeta (the metamoran fusion of Goku and Vegeta) was in that movie, so to not steal the movie's thunder Toriyama added Potara Fusion. The Potara fusion not being permanent is also explained. The potara are earings given to Supreme Kai only and only Supreme Kai are supposed to use the fusion. If 2 mortals use it than it is not permanent. Since mortals have never used it before the Supreme Kai's didn't know this, so they told Goku it was permanent. A lot of this is really just Toriyama making stuff up as he goes though. For example Shin never telling Goku about Potara fusion is basically just explained as he never knew it existed and only the older kais knew about it, which is why Elder Kai told them about it and not Shin.

Also! If you guys are up for more Monkey King shenanigans, I can HEARTILY recommend Overly Sarcastic Productions' summaries of the original Journey To The West. They've got a good eight or ten episodes out now, and it's VERY well told.

15:55 I am 35 years old. I have been watching dragon ball z since I was like 5. I know so much about dragon ball. Videl's name being an anagram of devil in theme with her fathers name.............................was something I just learned today.

[@Dizzy360mjf]

For me the most wholesome part of the Buu saga was when Majin Buu healed that blind kid that was just beautiful 🥹

[@skylineg6618]

I really like they changed Vegeta asking if he'll see Goku instead of what will happen because Vegeta already died to Freeza. Now he knows Goku is dead too, just finishing out his day, so he has different priorities.

[@roronoa747]

I really love The Buu Bits and this was such a fun reaction but like Eric said, this wasn't made to be a coherent story alternative like the rest of Abridged. I know your schedule is pretty big at the moment but it would be so cool if Eric, Calvin and Aaron react to the buu saga and then super (or at least watch it in their own time) so they can join in on future dragon ball reactions with Eric. Having the three of you to discuss things in the new content would be pretty awesome :D

[@MarisuSedai]

My favorite Goku moment is when he tells God to move. And God moves.

[@ZeallustImmortal]

Its always funny thinking back to DB where there was 1 god and it was Kami. Then we had King Kai, then... Man it just kept going. Im still expecting another even higher level god to appear.

[@BrandonLung]

Above Zeno?

[@Sephy723]

1:14:07 Would be nice to finally have Rick react to DBZA (with Eric, of course). We had a tease of that with your reaction to Plan to Eradicate Christmas, but I've been blue-balled ever since.

[@JonathanG-ni5vl]

Even Jake can join in if he wants

[@Tenshiyo]

17:40 that feeling when: You're trying to give context to your friends about the deeper lore of what they're seeing (him explaining the God/Kai hierarchy) Which causes you to go off on a tangent because you remember an extra level of context (him taking a second to try and explain that Grand Kai exists but is only shown in the filler) But then your friend's cut you off with a question that you're more than happy to answer (who's body do I get) Which results in you completely forgetting to finish your previous thought (RIP Grand Kai, you wont be explained) Only those of us who love to share things and are chronic explainers experience such suffering 😂

[@lerontec.6197]

Aaron complaining about rules in a series he’s only watched the abridged version of is very Aaron

[@ZIZZOBLIZZ]

yeah, its very annoying at times

[@Kaylakaze]

Akira Toriyama never took DBZ very seriously, but by the time the Buu Saga came around, he was clearly so sick of working on it.

[@Max25670]

The saga really does drag on.

[@BrandonLung]

That's because his editors kept changing his ideas

[@criticalhit69]

It's clear from the fan reaction to Dragon Ball Daima, pretty much everyone takes dragon ball more seriously than Toriyama

[@rue8929]

I'm very happy this finally happened. The DBZA reactions were actually how I first discovered Blind Wave, many years ago now, so to see it come full circle, just like how TFS came full circle with these Buu Bits in the first place, warms my heart in a weird parasocial way. I'm still very excited for a Rick reacts to DBZA, you've hinted at it a couple times and it gets me hyped every time.

[@rafallol9719]

Oh man, you cannot believe how great is to see You with DBZ Abridged once more!

[@NeptunexWWE]

I remember discovering this channel through the DBZA reaction in 2016, this feels redeeming to see Calvin who knew little about the franchise back then he had to look away at the intro to not be spoiled to where's he at now. Anyways top tier content you guys, keep going much love !

[@reelsmug]

Man, I love this dynamic of Eric explaining the weight of certain scenes to Calvin and Aaron.

[@metalman20]

The amount of jokes and lines that came full circle with these buu bits made me so happy!!!

[@thedarkknight2221]

I was hoping they would lean into how legitimately terrifying Buu can be and they did it! The voices of those he’s eaten screaming from his skin is A grade body horror. Also I laughed so hard at Popo being the one to fully charge the Spirit Bomb with just one hand that I couldn’t breathe.🤣🤣🤣 And hearing Ultimate Gohan finally say “I AM AN ADULT” followed by one of the most brutal gut punches I’ve seen to this day.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@Polymathically]

I was lucky enough to watch the Buu Saga when it originally aired, just like Eric. I'm so, _so_ glad that Team Four Star went back and covered some of it. It may not have been everything, but they got all the scenes that counted. That conversation with Vegeta and Piccolo and that bit with the narrator made me cackle. Good times.

[@DurielFFXI]

Bibidi only awoken Majin Buu as Majin Buu existed long before Bibidi even was born. There are hints that Moro may be responsible for Majin Buu's manifestation as Majin Buu was a mass of chaotic energy that would go into cycles of rampage and hibernation.

[@JonahAuck]

Actually, Babidi said Towa was gonna be pissed, referring to Towa from the recent Dragonball games who's related to Dabura.

[@AniGaAG]

Eric struggling to explain this mess of a story is the funniest part of this video.

[@Kaempfdog]

Gohan is my favorite character and it’s because of his time in this arc. I just wish he stayed or eventually reclaims the title of main character. Toriyama may not have liked writing for him, but I think he’s the key for dragon ball to recover to its glory. Also Buu is my favorite villain and him saying “Buu has played this game” made me want to crap my pants because that was just GENUINELY terrifying. I’m sad that TFS couldn’t do the Buu saga as it’s my favorite in dragon ball. It has the most famous moments and mistakes I hope people recognize aren’t new to the franchise. Buu saga just has everything for the better and worse. And it’s what allows me to enjoy Super so much more than most even with its shortcomings.

[@jacobmonks3722]

Buu Saga just has tremendously bad pacing. It starts off incredibly slowly, then picks up ridiculously fast once Shin shows up, then slows way back down once Fusion is brought into the picture. The writing is still fine overall and it does have some awesome moments, but the whole thing is just bogged down by so much fluff. Watching episode to episode feels like erosion, and binging it makes everything sort of just meld together. There isn't really a great way to watch the Buu saga.

[@Kaempfdog]

@@jacobmonks3722 again, I do get people’s complaints, but I feel similarly about other sagas and it’s fluff. And the weird consistency of the main character of the arcs never being apart of the finale despite being the focus. Vegeta, Krillin, and Gohan are the main characters of Namek, and yet Goku fulfills the finale role. Goku, Trunks, and Piccolo are the main driving points of Cell/Android saga and Gohan fulfills the finale role, but everyone only remembers Gohan being the main character of Buu along with Trunks and Goten, and yet Goku once again fulfills the finale role. I’m not saying it’s perfect, but I feel like Buu saga is the best representation of Dragon ball between its mistakes and it’s coming to fame moments. I LOVE certain fights and love pretty much EVERY transformation. But Dragon ball just drags at times. Sometimes it’s from manga being unwritten, sometimes it’s just a break in pace. And there are NUMEROUS points where I say THAT is how you’re going to get the conflict to move to its next stage?! I just think DBZ is a flawed series, but I love the exact same things as everyone else in it. And I feel like DBS while it has its own problems yes that SUCK, once again captures what is beloved AND what is hated. And GT is a LOT more suck than capturing what is beloved outside Ssj4.

[@ApinofArc]

Tbf, it's not that he didn't LIKE writing Gohan. It's that he couldn't figure out how. To quote totally not mark, "Gohan is a reactionary character" but toriyama only ever wrote pro active main characters. It wasn't his typical style, so he struggled, and eventually just brought Goku back.

[@TAGfrost]

Yeah it isn't until near the end of super where Vegeta realizes that Goku's family is his pride, and Vegeta also understands that same fact.

[@TheUnholyEmpire]

I'm so glad I watched the reaction from you guys because I never new about the context of the narrator coming back for Vegeta's final atonement as I learned most of DBZ's story through the games as a kid. So knowing that now with the clip of the narrator saying "Vegeta fucking dies" makes it SO much funnier.

[@Supreme-v8d]

People who refused to watch the original series getting a rude awakening while watching Buu Bits and not understanding anything thats going on because it lacks even more context than DBZA lacked.

[@MonosEx]

If only there was some kind of review or resume of the whole Arc to watch alongside these Buu bits.....

[@ApinofArc]

@MonosEx Ikr? TNM's stuff is awesome. Love his reviews.

[@anialator1000000]

Filling in the story details a bit for those who don't know. Gohan went to school and when he saw crime had to stop it, going to Bulma for a costume to hide his identity, creating Sayaman. Videl also is a vigilante who works with the cops, and tries to apprehend Gohan, eventually discovering his identity and blackmails him to fight in the tournament AND teach her how to fly in order to not reveal the secret. Great Heroes who die are allowed to keep their bodies to train in the afterlife, and are apparently given a certain amount of Life energy and 1 Day to return. Going SSJ3 actually drained a large portion of that energy shortening his time on earth Majin Buu was sealed and to break the seal, a massive amount of energy was needed. 2 Humans enhanced by Babidy were sent to find people to steal energy from. Shin knew about this and entered the tournament as well. He has his attendant Order Gohan to transform into SSJ to bait them to steal his energy, He went SSJ2, Kibito sealed Gohans movements, and they stole half the energy needed to ressurect Buu from Gohan. Kibito then healed Gohan as the rest followed the thieves. Buu's Original form is actually that mindless Child form we see later on. Bibity sent him againt the 5 Supreme Kais, where he killed 2 of them, and absorbed 2 others. The latter of which, the Grand Supreme kai was fat and super kind, which turned Kid buu into the Tamer, kinder, Fat buu. Goku learned the Fusion dance from some others in the afterlife, and taught it to Goten and Trunks. They then trained in the Hyperbolic Time chamber, eventually Luring Buu in there as well. Gohan was left for dead by Buu and saved by Shin, who then trained on the Kai planet. They went for an ultra heavy Sword which actually was just a seal for the Elder Supreme kai, who pissed of a God in the past and was sealed away in it. He did an unlocking potential ritual on Gohan creating Ultimate Gohan. Mr Satan was sent to kill Buu, much like with Cell, but Goku had already convinced Buu to kill Babity and go free, thus Buu was able to be guided by kindness from Satan. Buu was just starting to become kind and care for people and animals, when the assassin showed up and shot the dog. Buu went mad and lost control, splitting into Good Buu and Bad Buu. Bad Buu won, absorbing Good buu, becoming Super Buu, the Thin adult form with some intelligence and great evil. Eventually, while fighting Ultimate Gohan, Buu pulls a trick to absorb Piccolo and Gotenks, becomming stronger than Ultimate Gohan. Gotenks unfuses, and Buu pulls another Trick to absorb Gohan, forcing Goku and Vegeta to fuse.

[@anialator1000000]

A missed Note, Goku actually wasn't allowed to go back to Earth at this point. The Elder Kai gave up his live to revive Goku (a touching moment until he got right back up with a Halo over his head to yell at them for wasting time) Vegeto toys with Super Buu (Gohan absorbed), and eventually intentionally gets himself absorbed with a barrier put up so that he could run around inside and free everyone. This worked and turned Buu into Kid Buu, a weaker but mindless rampaging monster, his original form. He is actually weaker than SSJ3 Goku, but Goku is too drained to win a fight, and even then its no guarantee of victory. Kid Buu then blows up the world, with Goku having only just enough time to save Dende and Mr Satan who happened to be nearby. They then lure Buu to the Kai planet use King Kai to coordinate with the Namekians to use Porunga to wish back the Earth. Goku goes for the spirit bomb, Mr Satan gives a passionate speech to get the earthlings to give up some power for it, and they launch it. It still isn't enough. They then have the eureka moment to use Porungas Final wish to restore Goku to full energy, which is enough to power up the spirit bomb and push it into Kid buu, beating him for good. Now all that is left is Fat Buu, who was separated when Vegeto took everyone out. He gets rehabilitated into a good person with Mr Satan and Bulmas influence. Buu is reincarnated as a Human, presumably because he is so dangerous to deal with in the afterlife.

[@BritBox777]

I stand by Abridged being the reason Dragonball Super etc exists today. Toriyama made Battle of Gods because the Hollywood system mistreated him so badly during production of Dragonball Evolution- and the reason Evolution happened was because Dragonball Z was trending super hard at the time. And the reason it was trending? DBZA. Cause and effect.
