If Cooler ever becomes canon, it would be so poetic if Guerrero was the one who got to voice him. Just to bring things full circle.

They did bring Takahata for one of the voices for xenoverse 2, and Guerrero is more official voice acting now. Definitely could be possible now

[@mikecabral2420]

I feel like Cooler could be canon if they played it like Broly in Super. Freezer is probably the most iconic Villain in all of Dragon Ball that stays a full Villain, so it could be a good segway into Cooler from Freezer, if you have something to differentiate Cooler more from Freezer. That final form is my favourite non Sayain transformation.

19:08 I love the implication in this line. "I've been called many things, my favourite is Whiskers the wonder cat." He's not giving Goku his true name, just his personal favorite of what others have called him, and I find that hilarious.

Goku fantasizing about Chi Chi cooking his breakfast is one of the single best jokes in the entire show.

[@rtyuik7]

i love the subtle dig, that ChiChi isnt "my wife" to him, shes "the beautiful lady who lives in my house"...somewhat ties in with DBSuper's (rather ridiculous) side-joke about Goku not knowing what Kissing is, after seeing Bulma and Vegeta do it...but i just like how Innocent it is-- like he just assumes that Everyone's house has a beautiful lady inside, to pour maple syrup all over food ("i just always assumed she came with the refrigerator or the stove, like when your burger comes with fries" kinda logic)

[@meinkraft501]

Wow low bar lol

[@ColinKSU]

@@rtyuik7 right? It works past the surface joke. Fantasizing about food shows his pure heart (especially after the not pure hearted Krillin’s dream with Icarus), and not understanding Chi-Chi’s role in his life tracks with how he ended up marrying her in the first place.

[@rtyuik7]

@ColinKSU "you wanna get Married? yeah okay sure, ive never eaten Married before, but it sounds delicious!"

I've never heard that Korin and Yajirobe skit before and it has me absolutely howling. Wonderful work, keep it up.

[@FloridaGuy53]

Ngl, it was romantic af

[@Igarappappa]

Got some Twitter love. Grats!

[@HalflingScholar613]

Good call, the editor has been on point for these so far

[@Vegetafan756]

Toriyama actually had multiple self inserts that he would use for off panel sections (such as Author's Notes) or just directly adding it into his manga (and sometimes the anime) His most prominent one was Tori-Bot, a robot who is neighbors with Arale Norimaki and is writing a manga that his editor is not very pleased with. Tori-Bot also made several cameos in Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super, and even Dragon Ball Heroes. The most prominent cameo was in Z, where Krillin breaks the fourth wall saying that the artist reused the panels of Gotenks trying to fuse, with Tori-Bot appearing and saying the editor doesn't have to pay him for those pages. However before Tori-Bot, Toriyama's self insert was an anthropomorphic bird who was also struggling to write manga, both due to lack of experience and the fact it's really hard for him to hold a pen, considering it is bigger than he is. So the Toriyama joke has layers upon layers upon even more layers.

[@PanAndScanBuddy]

Huge if true!

[@johnstewart7362]

Tori-bot also shows up in the videogame "Blue Dragon" as a merchant.

[@GrayAndGrey]

"Toriyama, no! You were taken before your time!" He was. He really was....

[@RadiantStryker]

Definitely "Hello Diddy, where's Donkey?" It works with Freeza and Cooler referring to the saiyans as monkeys.

[@leakyboat224]

I think this one is much better too. The "Icarus" version seems like it would have been forced. Maybe in practice it could have worked, but whenever Kaiser brings it up I feel quite unimpressed by it. I also prefer that he's addressing Gohan, the person, as opposed to Icarus, the animal. One of these is more important than the other.

[@Dachief54]

119th'ed

[@CulixIII]

@@leakyboat224 I'm inclined to agree. There might be some workshopping that could improve it over the pitch (e.g. for a start, "'allo, kid, Icarus; flying too etc. etc."), but even then I'd say the concept feels like it has a little too much going against it in this context, especially weighed against what they ultimately chose.

[@BBoy4040]

It's an obvious joke that feels forced from no pressure other than "I have a character that is / is named _______, so I'm compelled to do ______" if they had went with Kaiser's joke it would've been eye roll inducing while the Diddy/Donkey joke isn't GREAT makes more sense with the characters.

[@badbeardbill9956]

Maybe a short Gohan line about flying too close to the sun could have worked while falling lol

[@maguc5906]

With how many times Piccolo tells Gohan to "DODGE!", it makes sense that Gohan thinks "You know what to do" means "Get out of the way"

[@dudebladeX]

Because Lani asked for the calc, here it is: In the original Revenge of Cooler, it takes about 27 or 28 seconds for him to reach the sun. We'll average that to 27.5 seconds. The distance between the Sun and Earth is 92.528 million miles. We'll round that to 92.5 million miles. To cross the distance of 92.5 million miles in 27.5 seconds, the Kamehameha would have to be moving 3425925.92593 miles per second. We will round _that_ to 3425926 miles per second. Divide that by 60, and you get 57098.7666667 miles per hour. Which should translate to about 8.5 times the speed of light. Because of the shorter nature of DBZA, this is significantly faster than 8.5 times light speed. But I provided the math and the base calculations. So someone else can calc the speed of the Kamehameha in DBZA.

[@obscenities4073]

~21 seconds in the DBZA version

[@Leffrey]

If it’s miles per second, mutiplying by 60 would make it miles per minute. You’d have to mutiply by 3600 to get mph. Even then, lightspeed is ~300 million m/s and he’s going about 150 billion meters in about 20 seconds, giving us at least 7.5 billion m/s. He’s going about 25 times lightspeed in Abridged

[@budaki4]

I know this is 10 months old but wouldn't you multiply by 60? I came up with 16.7 Bil/mph with some rough 20 second math.

Honestly, I think the Icarus reference could've worked if Salza had just said "Flying a bit close to a sun, are we?" without needing to specifically name drop Icarus.

[@WeebishSwed]

I thought the same! But I do enjoy the Diddy and Donkey jokes since it sort of references that Goku and Gohan are (half-)Saiyans, plus Gohan has a tail in this movie while Goku don't.

[@ghaniKSW2]

yeah for me the thing with that line was that it's a bit long for appearing out of nowhere dropping the “Hello Icarus” helps (also kind of loops back at the end and deals with Salza not knowing Icarus' name)

[@MugiMikey]

Zoro's name was actually "Zoro" in the Viz manga when they began printing it, but once the 4Kids dub of the anime came out Viz changed it to "Zolo" for consistency. There were only four volumes out by this time, so they went back for the newer printings and changed his name to "Zolo." When the 4Kids dub was cancelled and Funimation began working on their dub, Viz was already 14 volumes in. By the time "Zoro" was used in Funimation's uncut dub, the English manga by Viz was already 17 volumes in which leads me to believe at this point they've just stuck with "Zolo" for consistency ever since.

[@robbybevard8034]

@markdisalvi1487 They actually fixed some of the names of the Blackbeard pirates in their most recent appearance. Like getting the horse's name correct as "Stronger". Probably got away with it because he'd only been name dropped once twentyh years ago.

[@Drums_of_Liberation]

You're 100% right. I think though the only reason why Viz never changed back to Zoro in recent times is because it would supposedly be too expensive to reprint millions of copies of near 100 volumes for one name change. Or they're just too lazy to do it.

I really like how Coolers 5th form is an actual different form, much better than the damn recolors they keep doing recently.

[@HalflingScholar613]

I think it illustrates the difference between the brothers really well, even if it's unintentional. (And it is definitely unintentional.) Cooler is trying to push past his limits and finds the fifth form, possibly the actual second form for his species (since Frieza's fourth form is actually his base form, with the others being power limiters). While Frieza is so preoccupied with Goku that he ends up creating a new form that, while stronger, is just a copy of Super Saiyan that doesn't even do him much good. Maybe if Frieza had unlocked fifth form, his natural talent could've made it stronger than the Saiyan gods!

[@2-bit567]

It kinda just us 2nd form with a mask.

@@2-bit567 That's... also true. But it looks cool, and that's the important part

[@bluesbest1]

"This form's so much more powerful! It's BLUE! And it's almost as powerful as the other one, which is RED, but it can actually be sustained." At least the gold Super Saiyan transformations follow a decent pattern. SSJ1: bulked up a bit, everything goes golden, spiky, and angry. SSJ1a: bulked up a bit more, but slower. SSJ1b: bulked up beyond reason, functionally immobile. SSj2: significant boost in speed and power, eyes get more narrow, hair gets swept back somewhat, lightning in the aura. SSj3: another big speed and power boost, hair really long, eyebrows gone, eyes even more narrow, the lightning might as well be a shawl. They're all distinct and memorable, even if 2 essentially becomes the baseline transformation for those who have it.

I’ve honestly always felt that Cooler’s first movie is the closest you could get to making canon because it can be slotted in to the three year time skip during the Android Saga. I know it’s ultimately not canon I’m just saying it’s the one that would mess up continuity the least in my eyes. I’ll always love your “Yeah but his was smaller!” “KNEW IT! HA!” joke! One of your best to me! That had me on the floor the first time I heard it!

Bojack has the most canonable movie. Just ignore that 18 isn't attending this super prize tournament, but my read on that is that she only starts getting money focused to get their family out of kame house

[@MegaHerpthederp]

Dead zone could also work within the canon.

[@KHFMcAwesome]

@@MegaHerpthederp I don’t think it could. In Dead Zone Bulma, Roshi and Krillin already know about Gohan, whom they didn’t find out about until the beginning of DBZ, then Raditz shows up and events are set into motion from there. There’s no break in between Gohan meeting his dad’s old friends and being abducted by his uncle. This is why the Garlic Jr Saga is considered non-canon by the fans, well that and the fact it doesn’t happen in the manga.

[@scrollingdownonlytofindcom2663]

couldn't Wrath of the Dragon also fit in the canon timeline? The only discrepancy is that it's implied Future Trunks' sword was given to him by Tapion, but it's not outright stated, so that can be ignored.

[@samuellaakso7012]

I just realised something. The fact that Goku is surpriced to see Cooler, someone who's Ki is on paralell with Frieza, implies that Cooler can control his Ki-levels and was able to hide it when arriving on earth.
