DragonBall Z Abridged Ep. 36: Reaction

[@HORRIOR1]

You know, when you realize that Androids 19 and 20 WERE going to be the main villains of this saga, and that Androids 16, 17, and 18, were an after thought (so was Cell, and all of his transformations), you start thinking to yourself, "What the fuck was Toriyama thinking?"

[@Airier]

Honestly, I have no idea what he was thinking. But I actually do like this change in the formula. Even though it was probably the most confusing, complicated, and convoluted storylines ever, it was one of the more interesting twist Phil segments of Dragon Ball Z. I like how we kept getting bait and switched because time travel Shenanigans changed things. But that's just me.

[@RmnGnzlz]

HORRIOR They weren't technically an after thought, the editors made him do it because old man and fat mime were not popular with the readers. The same happened with Cell, fat lips cell was the original perfect cell but the editors told him he had to make him look more badass. Editors have a huge influence because they work directly under the publisher so they do that kinda shit all the time. Kishimoto wanted to focus on a lot of characters in Naruto but the company sold more with the story being the Naruto and Sasuke show so they grabbed him by the balls, exactly like Dragon Ball that at the beginning all characters were interesting but after the Saiyan saga nobody did shit so it became the Goku and Vegeta show. Try reading the DB manga since chapter 1 and you'll see what I mean.

[@chriserwin7823]

It was editorial interference his editor didn't think they fit the mold of main villains and I'm quoting him as saying "I thought the baddies had arrived but this is just some old geezer and a fatass" which then prompted Akira Torriyama to make 16 17 and 18 his editor at the time then said "wait so now the baddies are just some snot-nosed punk teenagers" which the prompted cell's design originally the second form was supposed to last longer and impact the story much more than it did but Torriyama's new editor thought the design was stupid so he then asked him to rush him to his perfect form. If you want more info about check tfs's dbcember to 24 villains list from 2016

[@chriserwin7823]

Honestly I'm happy how it turned though it would've never been the same had 19 and 20 actually been the main villains of this saga

[@HORRIOR1]

Yeah I feel the same way. I mean, 19 and 20 were just SO BORING, and they were introduced and encountered so quickly! Were the Z fighters just going fight them for as long as Cell saga ended up continuing? (I doubt it would have been AS long, but still) I mean how many times were Goku and the others supposed to fall for the Energy stealing shtick? Were they going to have some insane built in weapons? Why did androids 20 and 19 supposedly kill Gero? In the end we got some decent characters in 17, 18, and 16, and Cell was an INSANELY interesting villain for the series. If 20 and 19 had stayed around, I'm pretty sure they would have been such a huge anticlimax after Frieza saga.

[@alex_dc800]

i love tien's lines too XD he's supposed to be a serious character but he's one of the funniest in my opinion XD especially his interactions with Vegeta XD

[@GamerWolf290]

I love you and pretty guardian's reactions to these videos, this and digimon tri abridged are my favorites.

[@Airier]

Thanks. Any complete honesty, I just enjoy doing reactions with her. It's fun. :-)

[@GamerWolf290]

It is always a good thing seeing y'all enjoying yourselves doing these videos. Keep it up :)

[@tazkol]

ok the winter joke got me laughing good, i know exactly how that feels.

[@jesterlefae3940]

That was some interesting foreplay you guys at the end of the video...

[@data_arcanist2401]

Thx for the good reactions. (I'm binging your DBZ abridged reactions right now). I went ahead and subbed. Hope your having fun.

[@TrojanPiece]

I'm so happy you've uploaded this btw, I will be awaiting the next one :P

[@razkable]

Tien: Is that okay?....Vegeta: As a matter of fact it isn't...vegeta doesn't understand sarcassim lol..that is the joke

[@hustler666100]

misquoted Vegeta. Vegeta literally uses sarcasm this episode and plenty the saga before. That is not the joke lol. Hopefully these 3 years you can go back and get it

[@allisonbeattie4738]

You guys are where I am, weather-wise, a little over a year ago lol. It was 43° out today and that is considered warm 😁

[@BlasonAMV]

My daily dose of happiness,outside my routine.

[@MrDarksol]

I agree with you I half expected Vegeta smiling and being happy with the whole thousands of dead puppies line popping underneath because of that. Plus if you think Tien has the best lines, oh my God you ain't seen nothing yet just wait until a certain part comes up later on you'll be impressed. I'm not going to spoil it for you.

[@j.ackermann9110]

Funny thing is Senzu (仙豆) means hermit bean so anytime someone says senzu bean, he says hermit bean bean.

[@VenNoel]

J. Ackermann its like the Sahara desert, and Sahara means like desert or great desert. So we’re saying Great desert desert.

[@kakonoteouji4876]

Why didn't Dr. Gero absorb the Big Bang Attack.

[@SSJNeV]

Love how PrettyGuardian is exactly like my brother, which has a default doesnt give a fuck mood lol

[@chamllis]

It finally snowed in south Mississippi for a whole 4 hours it was the best night in my life even though the only snow to make stuff with was on cars and trash cans

[@Airier]

I actually didn't even know that was possible in Mississippi.

[@chamllis]

AirierGames north Mississippi yeah but near the coast never cause the last time it snowed like that was in the early 90s

[@yungkaos3941]

coming from a born and raised Florida boy,70 is to cold lol

[@digitaladventurer2142]

So just in case wanted to point out that in the original DBZ Goku never took the medicine because the virus never kicked in until later for some reason. In Trunks timeline Goku died from the virus 6 months prior to the androids attack. Guessing all the extra training may have slowed its progression or something.

[@AwesomeNinjaXD]

It's implied that Trunks changed some events with his time travel, as he later states that 17 and 18 are stronger in the past timeline, as well as never hearing of 16, 19, 20, or Cell.

[@oenrn]

My guess is in Trunks's timeline Androids 19 and 20 showed up anyway at the right time, and were beaten, and then 17 and 18 showed up. But these are the only ones Trunks remembers cause they were the only ones that survived past him being a baby.

[@elementalcolors4977]

Tien’s easily one of my favorites in Abridged! Along with Piccolo and Nail

[@Airier]

I definitely agree. Heck, the only reason I even remember nail as a character is because of The Abridged. I forgot him in the actual series.

[@ironwolfkaiser1185]

Nice! I've been looking forward to this one. Hey, BTW Airier, have you seen the new Neo Yokio abridged by 2GS? It's probably their best work yet.

[@jesseguajardo8592]

AirierGames They just announced when the next episode of How to be adventurer abridged is coming.

[@lonewolfjedi493osswfan]

SENZU BEAN! And if anyone here in LA saw snow, they’d freak

[@Airier]

I can confirm that is true. My mom's from there and she still talks about the day the got a blizzard (wasn't even a dusting...).

[@lonewolfjedi493osswfan]

AirierGames it’s worse when we get a drop of rain and all of a sudden, “WE’RE ON STORM WATCH!”

[@yugiohmaster92]

Wow you guys are in PA!

[@Airier]

Yep. I pretty much grew up in Bethel, the den of scum and villainy.

[@yugiohmaster92]

AirierGames you’re the first pa KZbinr that I have seen. I’m from Philadelphia myself

[@Airier]

I got family out that way. How you holding up with the Eagles Win?

[@yugiohmaster92]

AirierGames great, you a fan?

[@jarvisfowlkes3200]

Love you guys

[@KingDaWildfire]

Just in time

[@Airier]

Glad you could make it. :-)

[@Beos_Valrah]

6:51 Why the cut? You left out a pretty cool scene :(

[@Tahu33446]

3 times the charm

[@MageWolf_3779]

Sensu bean!!

[@Awelbeckk]

Senzu Bean !!!!!

[@amazedsatsuma]

you think I just gives those out?

[@belisarius6949]

The worst thing about Tien is that hes too weak to be relevant... Hes still my favourite in both the abridged and main show.

[@Airier]

Yeah, he is kind of left behind power-wise. That said, teamfourstar makes up for it by giving him the best Burns.

[@RmnGnzlz]

Belisarius The Historian To be fair he's by far the strongest human.

[@Airier]

Well, depending on how you count cyborgs, personally I'd give that to 18.

[@Awelbeckk]

I'm pretty sure Tien will have his moment to shine soon. :)

[@j.ackermann9110]

According to Toriyama the strongest human (not counting cyborgs) is Krillin.

[@AnthyMelange]

Senzu bean!

[@clargonaut6015]

SENZU BISCUIT!

[@_shades_]

First

[@Airier]

And for first-place today you get [drum roll] a Senzu Bean! The claim your prize just grab it off Krillin. I might be a bit difficult because he's not just giving them out, but I'm sure you'll manage. It is Krillin.

[@_shades_]

"Obviously he is easy to handle."

[@Airier]

Oh my! [Damnit, George Takei! How do you keep getting this number?]

[@_shades_]

Wait i don't get my Senzu Bean that's sucks.Xdddddd
