DragonBall Z Abridged - The World's Strongest (Reaction)

[@DEADPOOL_LK-4T7]

Goku hit his back when he landed on Earth when he landed as a baby. TFS made it a running joke that works perfectly. Making Goku dumb is still one of their funniest gags.

@@AscendedXSaiyan My bad. I meant to put that but thanks for spotting that

[@snikerz5886]

@@DEADPOOL_LK-4T7 its really not even much of an exaggeration either. In the original Dragon Ball manga and anime Goku had always been a bit of a moron when it came to anything but fighting and it was always strongly hinted at that it was because of that hit to the head. It wasnt just a little fall either. He was dropped from the top of the crater his space pod made after it crashed and landed on his head all while being less than a year old. It was really only the english Dub of DBZ that took Goku's personality and tweaked it into the serious and kinda smart version he was. If you have had the chance to see Dragonball Super, the way Goku acts in that series is actually closer to how he was supposed to be in DBZ. If normal Goku is an 8 on the stupidity scale normally then all TFS did was crank it up too 11.

[@antythesis751]

@والد الهندوس you must not have watched the original dragon ball. I only say that because in the original goku is made stupid as a comedic choice. You see, the original dragon ball was mostly a comedy rather than a drama. In this way, son goku in dragon ball super is much closer to toriyamas original vision for goku than the Japanese superman version of goku that us American audiences were first exposed to in dbz.

Goku's not really dumb he just never had an education he's been living in the Woods his whole life and that's why Chichi makes Gohan study so hard because neither her or Goku have ever had an education.

[@razkable]

Roshi taught him a little

[@therealmcx3488]

Also he hit his head as a child

[@TheArcSet]

@@razkable He taught him reading, writing, arithmetic and narrating erotica. He did not see any need to explain electricity or where babies come from.

[@thomasdahlberg5920]

@@TheArcSet at the time, goku was 10. Roshi probably assumed that he knew those things already, as most other 10 year olds in dragonball do. Roshi probably didn't realize the extent to which goku was uneducated at the time.

[@TheUltimateRare]

he might have slight brain damage which is why he's so pure. They say the smarter you are the less happy you will be, and goku as a child was a very happy boy.

[@mercurioslevin1877]

the most impressive part is the whole section after "1 year later" was animated by TFS themselves

[@BigGator5]

He hit his head as a child, as explained in Episode One. And Episode Eleven will pile on even more brain damage.

[@YungandRekless545]

Goku's kinda stupid because he lived on his own in the woods and never interacted with another person until he was 12. He had a Grandfather, but he died early in Goku's life so he never got to teach him much.

[@TheUltimateRare]

goku was also simply too young to really absorb a lot of info from gohan since well.. he got killed by a giant ape.

[@DEADPOOL_LK-4T7]

The way they set it up you guys will have a couple more movies to view. They are set up to play during seasons 2 and 3. You guys are in for a funtastic time watching this series. Seeing you guys watching this makes it that much more fun. 😄 Can't wait for more reactions guys. Take care

[@chuckrothans7535]

@Mat and Chels React Where is the dead zone reaction?

[@farlonmuentes6004]

he's not super dumb in the original but TFS made it a running joke because they have so much room from the original series to put in their jokes. it would be harder if they did this on other anime but Dragonball has a very simple plot that they could add so much to it.

[@kaize666]

Original Goku is stupid. He is not really heroic either. He just loves fighting. Goku is intelligent when it comes to fighting. His fight IQ is extremely high.

[@DEADPOOL_LK-4T7]

I just remembered there are actually 8 more dbza movies in line. One of them is a Christmas movie but the rest are within seasons 2 and 3.

[@kwaaajohn9432]

U watched dead zone is it uploaded?

[@mitloppas3559]

Goku is stupid because he was raised in the woods by an old man who didn’t take him to school. He also hit his head as a baby. Goku is not as in-your-face stupid in the anime. He lacks experience with social situations in original Dragon Ball and he never had education, so he rarely displays “intelligence” outside of combat.

[@HadassaMoon144]

What a cute video. Thanks for watching it! I loved your reaction!

[@TheUltimateRare]

i see you are skipping the older movies and heading right into one of the midway movies. nothing wrong with that.. but feel free to head back to the older ones, cause despite their lower quality (because they were in-experienced back then) they are still very funny so they are worth a check.

[@Sparks0114]

Goku is actually a fighting GENIUS but he isn’t book smart and lacks social tact, that being said the Abridged version exaggerates it.

[@Degnique]

I know it's been a while (I'm just watching yall react to earlier episodes whilst waiting for the newer ones) but to chime in, Goku is a fighting savant, like, legitimately but he fails in everything else. lmao I highly recommend watching Goku's fights in Dragon Ball Super's Tournament of Power even if you haven't already seen anything else Dragon Ball related, just to see how masterful Goku gets as a fighter. Lots of fans dislike Super but personally I think it's a lot of fun and I loved it, especially the movies (Super Hero is INCREDIBLE and Broly is pure fighting insanity) and new characters.

[@Randerson2409]

With regards to the apparent paradox of Goku being simultaneously the dumbest person ever and still one of the strongest and most capable fighters in the universe, outside of the obvious humour value, I've basically head-canoned it as being that 99.9% of his brain power is focussed entirely and specifically on fighting, and the other 0.1% is on food.

[@kaize666]

Come on food has a higher percentage than that.

[@OtakuJuanma2]

A few episodes ago I said that you should react to this one and a few other movies... Idk why I didn't see this in the playlist before 😅

[@9791mij]

I think Toriyama writes his characters how he wants them to be rather than how they would naturally progress

[@zvenniejackblue3362]

It's known goku hits his head by accident when falling from his earth grandpa backpack into a cliff as a kid, almost a baby. He lost any memory from his home saiyan planet, also the bad agresive (saiyan) mood he used to have before that and probably also the answer to your question: why is Goku stupid and strongest? *Head damage + only saiyan on earth*

[@dandychiggins7240]

Hahaha, she had some good reactions, im staying 😏👌 In this timeline they defeated the saiyans and Piccolo didn't die... although that scene is Gohan's dream when he remembers Piccolo sacrificing for him was real in the movie... So idk, I guess that didn't kill him here 🤔

[@megadeth8592]

that last bit with them wishing for him to have a body didn't happen in the original. i think tfs did a good job with it tho

[@ilyes3624]

Although Goku isn't all that dumb in the original and is a total badass in the fights he's been...dbza portrayed him alot more dumber than he actually he is for comedy purposes...plus he would've probably become ruthless like vegeta is if he didn't hit his head when he was a kid...

[@AscendedXSaiyan]

Oh no he's still dumb in the original TFS just made him super dumb...

[@ilyes3624]

@@AscendedXSaiyan In the original he has this twisted mentality when he acts stupid and goofy as hell in casual times but becomes a complete badass and smart during fighting... it's how i see it... you've seen the fight against frieza in dbz... he was mad disrespectful against frieza like how a saiyan supposed to be(dub)

[@AscendedXSaiyan]

@@ilyes3624 He's an idiot in general life but a genius when it comes to fighting lol

[@alexjfranco]

Goku legit is that stupid from hitting his head as a kid. Fighting and getting better as they do so is natural for saiyans, but he's a prodigy probably because of the brain damage as well. But seriously, he only first learned what a kiss was in Dragon Ball Super which is the current running series. Vegeta's literal response was "you're married with children! How have you never kissed anyone?!"

[@calvinospina7307]

Just so you know none of the Z movies are Canon to the story except for the Trunks movie, though you probably don't know who that is anyways but yea lol.

[@c.clasher]

Can y'all react to Dragon Ball Z Abridged Tree of Might in y'all next video?

[@Gia1911Logous]

Also do Christmas tree of might and Don't react to Deadzone until you finish season 2

[@macadelic2492]

15:50 that would be because this is a parody 😂

[@mothified1676]

"if" you also enjoy gaming, you might like Fear & Hunger

[@DEADPOOL_LK-4T7]

The guy who originally voiced Yamcha( the one character they showed getting exploded) for Team Four Star had an falling out with the rest of the group and as a result after getting a new person to voice him they constantly made fun of the character throughout the rest of the series as a way of mocking the original voice actor.

[@mitloppas3559]

Really? That’s ironic.

[@TheDarkendstar]

This is not true if you listen to how they talk about him in the DBZA commentarys the real reason is just yamcha is a literal meme in japan.

[@randommthrfkr6568]

I honestky believe the turtle part is the funniest scene in DBZA. 😂😂😂

[@razkable]

Goku is dumb cause this abridged series thinks its funny to make goku dumb for laughs....plain and simple....he has the more screen time usually in fights so the only way to make their series work is to make his dialogue stupid....or else we won't laugh much cause most of goku screen time in z is fighting which they cut around and aren't allowed to show too much of due to toei...goku is naive but he's not dumb in combat in the series...when it matters he's serious but he makes mistakes like when he let raditz tail go...

[@razkable]

She seems so confused and uncomfortable watching this stuff...I feel bad for her...you should just react alone

[@MatandChelsReact]

Do you need a hug cause you have a lot of negativity going on.... We both actual enjoy this so much that we have started watching the original.

[@megadeth8592]

bruh what.........how does one come to that conclusion

[@swishersweet00]

women shouldnt watch DBZA
