For me the reason why Frieza was so confused when Goku said he was going to break him like a Kit-Kat Bar is because he have no idea what a Kit-Kat Bar is. If Goku said Space Kit-Kat Bar then Freezer would have get the reference.

[@catboyslim202]

It's the "space" that makes it recognisable.

[@troublemonkey1_626]

@@catboyslim202 congratulations that's the joke

[@prachetasnayse9709]

That confirms it. Goku is a “ space hillbilly “ xD

[@BCHolbrook]

You know what? Yeah. I agree. :D

[@ibraheemmirza3354]

My personal head cannon is that Frieza knew what a Kit Kat bar was, but was confused as to why goku said “break you like a lot kat bar” because Frieza has never had friends to “break off a piece of that Kit Kat bar” with.

[@Tyrunner0097]

To quote Roshi, "You have no idea of the patience I have."

[@tanneralexander3189]

My own personal head canon for why Frieza can't tell time is because his servants kept taking longer and longer, always saying it would be "5 minutes" just so he wouldn't get mad.

[@bassfight2936]

The funniest thing about that interpretation is, is suggests Freize couldn't fathom the possibility that they dared to just lie to him, which I think is fully in line with his character.

[@noahkieffer7410]

I just think his servants always read the clocks for him ha ha

[@Takaichi666-]

I would also assume because he has servants doing all his dirty work he never knew how to read a clock or tell time lol

[@TheNintendoGamer64]

I always thought it's just because "time" and its interpolations are dependent on what planet you're from. It's possible Freeza's minutes could have more than 60 seconds in each, and those seconds could be longer than ours. Admittedly, this is a lot of mental gymnastics to justify a joke, especially in a universe with "Space" versions of human concepts and media.😅 I'll say, I do like your interpretation, that as a sheltered/protected royal, and one who has completely abused and terrified his servants, that they'd lie to him in order to avoid his wrath, in essence handicapping his perception of things. Hilarious! 😂

Ok, so for context: in 2014 I had just gotten back in country and I was flush with time off. Needless to say during that time I was binge-watching since I had been out of the country for about a year. When I saw Episode 30 and it's constituent parts I laughed so hard I accidentally threw myself through a window and out onto the back porch where I broke my leg. That was some explaining to the EMTs.

[@OfficiallyMOB]

The "my good leg" joke I'm mad they didn't elaborate on more, considering Tien broke the other leg in thier first fight back in OG DragonBall 🤣

[@Aproximal]

One of my favourite parts is the "Do you know what a minute is?" Line. Because it's a moment Goku has a point Frieza can't just joke away. It's been over 10 minutes. He's either wrong, which would break his spirit, or he doesn't know a minute, which means Goku is right. His only reply is anger. It's SO GOOD. You guys are fantastic writing these little things into the moments, and LittleKuribo just nails the delivery so well. I remember waiting for this part and watching it with friends. We did the Skype call Clint down ("Starting in 3...2") and laughed so much. Thank you for being this good to a series already so fun. You made being a fan even better.

[@toxicdemon1315]

Yeah, no, I don't think the Sayians got wished back. The only reason Nappa came back was because his death was still recent. The Sayians were dead for like, 30 years by this point, so the Dragon wouldn't have been able to bring them back.

[@nightdrivenen7909]

The countermeasure to this: You cannot wish someone back without a planet to return too. The reason they had to wait to resurrect Kirillin was because he needed Namek back. So they had to wish New Namek into existence first, and then the body would have a location to return to and then he can just be teleported back. But when the dragon brings someone back, their body is where it died. So all of the planets that did get destroyed - like Planet Vegeta - there was no where for those souls to return.

[@shis1988]

Not many understand the refusal Goku has to end his enemies permanently because it comes from pretty much post-time jump in the OG series. He decided to not kill after the years with Kami. Obviously this translated into sparing Piccoro at the end of that show and also Vegeta (and as he originally wanted with Frieza). This is him realizing... sometimes there will be threats you need to permanently remove in the universe. This is also true in the Trunks future, where he did finish Frieza on Earth.

[@athensia443]

A brief breakdown of the golf part. "Putting": You ever play putt putt? it's that, and it occurs when you get onto the "green" which is the area around the hole which is designated by more mashed down grass. "A very difficult degree from this angle": Basically from where the ball is, the "green" has a slope to it that you have to account for, because if you hit it straight it'll follow that small slope and miss. "Greens have been running rather fast today": That means the "green" is having the balls go further than you'd expect. So you need to put less power into the put or else you'll over shoot the hole. Yes this can happen and your ball will just bounce off the other side and keep going past the hole even if you hit it head on. "Aiming to the right of the hole": This means that most likely there is a leftward slope, so to compensate he needs to aim to the right of the hole. "Good for Par": He made the expected number of hits to get it into the hole. This is usually X + 2 (X is the necessary number of hits to get the ball onto the green) and the +2 is the number of putts it should take you to get it into the hole.

I think Overly Sarcastic Productions made an interesting point regarding Goku letting Freeza power up: Its less "I want to test ny limits" and more "This thing killed my best friend and I am going to crush his body AND his spirit for that." He is not thinking pragmatically, he is FURIOUS.

i read an essay once about how the reason why goku keeps letting the villains go is because of android 8 from the original dragon ball. it was a part of his original character development. and if you look at it like that then theres an actual reason, hed see it as betraying an important lesson taught to him by his childhood friend. which is interesting because android 16 later on is the direct reason why gohan STOPS holding back. its like gohan is an overcorrection of goku who was naturally a merciless fighter as a kid.

Well then everything went off and the whole auditorium was quiet until you hear someone say “I think I broke it Vegeta” in the voice of Nappa followed by a “god damn it nappa” and then it was just nothing but people having conversations in y’all’s dub.

[@ItsmeInternetStranger]

After Dende confesses his feelings and promptly wishes himself away, I always imagined the next line as Gohan saying "...I didn't say no." But the one sided crush is probably better. Additionally, I love the escalation through the Goku and Freeza fight, where Freeza slowly loses his pride and eloquence and becomes more angry and petulant, resorting to just shouting at Goku to piss off. But it really culminates in the moment he gets cut in half and has definitively lost, where he literally reverts back to being a child asking his daddy to pick him up. That's the perfect moment where his ego snaps, and rahter than exploding in anger or sorrow, he just defaults to, nope this game isn't fun anymore, daddy take me away from this, which perfectly illustrates what a spoiled little princess he is. It's such good writing.

[@timothywilcox1539]

This is very insightful! There whole fight has been a huge downward spiral for the space emperor, this one seemingly dumb as bricks fighter continuously surprising and one-upping him even before he became a literal prophecy-demon. He has no one to get upset for him, he has no one to fall to, Freeza's cool and calm personality is shattered like ice under constant, unrelenting pressure... And underneath, he's nothing but daddy's child.

For a very long time the "I think I peed a little" joke was my absolute favourite joke in DBZA and it always made me laugh the way Kaiser did here. Still makes me smile every time. In the anime, Goku just slapping the crap out of Freeza is oddly funny anyway, and TFS worked their magic on it. It's a joke Mr Perfect Cell would thoroughly approve of.

[@magi9194]

For the batman line at 43 minutes in; Linkara actually brought up a good point. Everyone says Batman is letting so many people die by not killing the joker, but the guards at the prison and Arkham should also be to blame in that case, because they have equal chance to shoot him dead.

[@oliviahughes3158]

I love the idea that Nappa bringing up his "idea" to Vegeta was just a way of Nappa trolling him by revealing that Ghost Nappa wasn't actually just a figment of Vegeta's imagination. Like "Remember all that mental suffering I put you through, that's gonna make for a great blockbuster" And Vegeta, knowing that he fully deserves it, resigns with a "Good ole goddammit Nappa" that he can't even really muster the rage to actually be fully angry about

[@cherryb0ng]

For the lore, the Namek Dragon balls can bring back only one person at a time per wish with no limit on how many times that person can be brought back and the Earth Dragon balls at this time in the arc could bring back entire populations of people with no real restriction except that they cannot bring back someone who died once already. THIS is the reason why Krillin's death was tragic because the Namek Dragon balls were gone and it looked like he would never be able to come back again.

[@lordplague3555]

Vegeta does actually address the super saiyan bit (at least in the dub) and is completely ecstatic that goku actually transformed. "Kakarot, you dog! You did it, you actually did it!

Fun thing about the original, Goku explains to Freeza that he's a pure heart awakened by fury (Demons run when a good man goes to war kind of thing) and Freeza is like "Wow, no wonder Vegeta couldn't pull it off!" He also lets Freeza power up because of Krillin. It's not about "This will be fun", but "Then he'll really feel it when I break him!" Make him think he's hot shit before crushing him like a soda can.

[@AarturoSc]

Kaiser knows that. He has read the original manga and the Japanese anime. It’s just his opinion. I agree with you, but also kind of agree a bit with them in regards to “what if Freeza’s 100% power was stronger than Goku’s?”. That wasn’t time to let things played out, it was time to finish it off and get out of there.
