Dragonball Z Abridged Creator Commentary | World's Strongest

[@tinyetoile5503]

I like to imagine Wheelo hired Kochin like, a week before he discovered his cancer, so he didn't realize Kochin was an evil scientist until it was too late

[@andrewsd.r.7180]

Oh shit that's so funny and it makes a lot of sense.

[@LycanFerret]

What if Kochin turned evil over time? Realizing the Red Ribbon paid handsome amounts of money for evil inventions after Wheelo already ended up in his robo-suit, and then went psycho after being left wandering the world looking for the Dragon Balls.

[@chrisdaughen5257]

Or Kochin was like an incompetent intern who thought being a scientist meant being evil and no one stopped him after Wheelo got sick.

[@Death2all546]

The “didn’t realize Kochin was an evil scientist” gets worse/funnier when you realize Kochin made the ball pit, biomen, and modified Zapzap, Blubblub, and Burr all without him ever noticing. Though, I’m just now realizing, whatever you have to say about Kochin’s morals you can’t deny he has loyalty. He spent 50 years finding the dragon balls (that a certain group kept taking) and tried his best to get a body for Wheelo.

[@mdsystems4463]

The more I think about this parody the worst I feel for Wheelo and that one yellow monster

[@thehoodedteddy1335]

Honestly, I love Goku’s “there’s been a terrible mistake I have to fix this” thing, it doesn’t come across as prideful, it comes across to me like he’s legitimately trying to be helpful like he’s worried something they’re doing might go wrong or someone will be disappointed that the real strongest person in the world isn’t there

[@exceedcharge1]

Yeah, if people dont know hes the world strongest then no one would come challenge him

[@MSCDonkeyKong]

Roshi's retired. It's a good move for Goku to want to go and fix things rather than letting his foster dad whose supposed to be retired need to work against his will.

[@pwnorbepwned]

Or that someone might be hurt if they’re mistaken for him.

[@godlytyungodly]

i like the take of goku being loving to the point where he’s caring about someone mistakenly identifying the worlds strongest because he wants to ensure the true world’s strongest is there in case there was danger that only the worlds strongest could handle to save whatever could be threatening enough to need the worlds strongest around

[@theendersmirk5851]

Honestly I'd totally believe that in the DBZA universe version of GT, Shenron had just gotten sick and tired of everyone's shit, so using a couple loopholes in some of the more recent wishes he set it up so they'd keep making a few more wishes so he could activate the Shadow Dragon clause in his contract and finally get a chance to kick the crap out of them. Then once he got that out of his system he just sorta felt like seeing how far away he could abandon Goku before he realized something was off.

[@FightingFoodonsFan]

Same energy as that kid misspelling *Santa* in his letter asking for a puppy, but the fallen angel still gets him a "puppy" anyway so the kid isn't disappointed.

[@CenturyBlade]

It’s like if David Blaine found out that a child wanted to see “the best magician ever” at his birthday party and was like “welp, gotta right that wrong” 😂

[@ToozdaysChild]

This mistake came from the fact that after learning of cell, he says “DO I HEAR 5?” Because he just found out about a fourth, and was waiting for the fifth. But they added 3 to that number and got 8 instead of 7, and I drives me crazy that no one talks about it.

Am I the only one who actually prefers the commentary vids to just the plain vids? I like to listen to the behind the scenes and hear the genuine friendship and effort that went into this.

[@paulmurphy3655]

It's clear why someone like Lani was able to keep this group alive as long as he did.

[@CJ-442]

I am 95% convinced that the only reason Piccolo has a house in Super Hero is bc of you guys constantly pointing out how he is homeless in Abridged.

Agreed. Also that shot of Kami and Nail during the ToP.

no that's definitely not the case. They just needed somewhere for him to chill out and store his collection of plushies so of course they'll show his house. Plus it's a neat way to reference Namek architecture

[@MSCDonkeyKong]

Making Wheelo into a sweet old man has to be the funniest DBZA script change of all, if you ask me.

[@TheNN]

I think the meta-joke of Oolong's wish went over a lot of people's heads: He's a literal 'fascist pig'.

[@battlesheep2552]

I thought it was a reference to the Khmer Rouge because he usually wears one of those Mao Era unisex jumpsuits.

[@kassarc16]

The Red Star is pretty obvious, but no matter how worse that reputation should be, can't criticize that ideology.

​​@@battlesheep2552In Toriyama's vision yeah probably. But TFS did not. The Mao outfit was used because in OG Dragomball Oolong actually wore it a number of times, that's not photo-shopped on

"I don't know if Wheelo's mech design is Toriyama." It looks almost exactly like one of the later Lavos forms that Toriyama designed, Kaiser.

[@Deamons64]

"Neutral science! At worst!" Is one of the best exchanges you guys have ever written. Also, "kame-and a hame- and a send em home to mommy" of all of Roshi's just truly amazing lines, is one of the best.

[@bluej4life183]

I swear Prospector Roshi is one of the most underrated voices, it's so perfect and I'm glad this movie showed so much of him.

This dub’s voice for Goku is the reason that Masako’s Goku always worked for me. This was always my favorite of the movies.

[@silverdragon1460]

The part with Glub Glub needing a hug is why I've only ever seen this movie once. It makes me so sad! Someone give him that hug!!!

[@kryptonianguest1903]

As someone said in another comment chain, a year later the gang could have resurrected him and Bulma and Wheelo could have restored him to his original version.

[@silverdragon1460]

@@kryptonianguest1903 Thank you. I was too distraught to think about that. You have given me a hopeful headcanon

[@immortallegacy100]

Goku's voice turning into Gohan's when his crotch is getting frozen is the single most underappreciated joke in this entire series. If forget about it every time I watch this movie, but it makes me laugh every single time. Absolutely brilliant.

[@nobuffer101]

I *JUST* realized that Kochin was thinking of baking because he was at Roshi’s island when they were baking brownies. Whether intentional or not, I *LOVE* that.

[@solomonstillthebest5737]

I'm very disappointed this exchange didn't take place: Kaiser: Do you know why Wheelo is a giant brain instead of a normal sized one? Lani: Uh, no? Kaiser: It's because originally the jar didn't contain just his brain but ALL his vital organs. Kaiser: ALL OF THEM??

[@deadshields8561]

Oh my god I never noticed that Blub-Blub cries out a puddle while facedown before! How the fuck does that scene just get more and more awfully sad?

[@Kid_Spitfire]

I know right, somehow I feel worse for him every time I watch this version 😢

[@eliasmolck5566]

Right?! They didn't even mention it, I just never noticed until just now, and this is my most rewatched DBZA movie!

[@gloomygloomstalker3878]

I love Izzy as an abridged VA especially main man Kirito but the bio men hits a very specific niche that makes my brain happy

[@TheFatalcrest]

😂 it's very good, i love the way they talk

[@katt-the-pig]

This is probably also my favorite DBZA movie, even if the "crippling fear of death" is too real. Love the dynamic between Kochin and Wheelo.

[@Omnimegas]

47:38 I don't know why but this Greyhound bit is maybe my favorite joke in the movie. it just tickles me in a way I wasn't expecting, the delivery is so good

[@ursadabear2810]

To this day I tear up a little whenever Blub-Blub starts crying. He must’ve been such a sweet, gentle boy before this.

[@lordadrianrichter3409]

I figured out why Kochin took 50 years to find the Dragon Balls: Every time he finds the Dragon Balls, someone steals them from him. He gets a few: Pilaf gang He gets a few: Red Ribbon He gets a few: King Piccolo He gets a few: Garlic Jr. He gets a few: Resurrect Goku

[@iantaakalla8180]

So basically, it is because the Z fighters are spending time defending the Dragon Balls from those who would otherwise use them and also defending Earth from progressively higher stakes that Dr. Kochin was able to get the Dragon Balls?

[@lordadrianrichter3409]

@@iantaakalla8180 It's because of that that it took him 50 years. The downtime after rezzing Goku is how he was able to get them.

[@Borgmatha1027]

I always thought that Wheelo was voiced by the same guy who voiced Dr.Gero and Cooler.

[@CenturyBlade]

Yeah legit today I learned, I could’ve sworn Wheelo was the same voice as 20.

[@ChloeSunfloraVA]

Lani, as a perfectionist, I GET WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT FOR THE ELECTOCUTIONER LINE DELIVERY

[@45calGunslinger]

I'm gonna come out to bat for Super Android 13 that it's one of the few movie villains that can get away with being the same as the series villain. The Androids all have abilities common to Cell, so it almost feels like Gero experimented with each one and eventually combined everything he'd learned to make Cell and later Android 21.

[@oblivious8868]

Goku trying to set down the Spirit Bomb is seriously the funniest thing in the movie in a series of really funny moments. Love Word's Strongest, abridged or otherwise. 🥰

[@cebel100]

The whole Wheelo and Kochin dynamic is perfect! I've never laughed nor felt as bad watching DBZA. 10/10, this is my favorite DBZA movie.

[@Deathnotefan97]

I definitely heard the Electrocutioner line the way Lani did when I first watched this There is very clear emphasis on the “I’m”

[@billeckert6614]

I feel like we walked into a fight that was unresolved during the "I'm the Elecutioner now" bit lmao

[@Delnoir]

40:04 is easily my favorite exchange of dialogue in this entire movie. The delivery is just too perfect.

[@yukaiyami]

“And point… proven!” has the same energy as “horse…eaten!” Like father like son!

[@ericfischer8295]

"He was supposed to spread love, and hugs to children" I want to hug them all! best henchmen ever!

[@dragonberrymead9525]

"A Kame and a Hame and a send em home to mommy!" followed by the Turtle School Kamehameha is one of my favorite scenes lol

[@OddNess9339]

24:09 I love how Lani and Taka both get upset at Kaiser pausing before Roshi finished his line.

[@rinkothelad]

Even he gets upset at himself

[@Gaebora88]

I think "I'M the electrocutioner now!" works because Freezer is shouting at him. It sounds more like an emotional hard-start to a retort than an emphasis to clarify the sentence. Like, someone starts yelling at you, you tend to yell back

[@austinwright09]

59:00 There is a great series called The Fixer by Andrew Vallencourt. It delves deep into what it would be like to be a cyborg without your senses, and how it would drive a normal person insane. I love the series and recommend it to anyone who enjoys futuristic sci-fi fiction.

I notice the electrocutioner line every time, it's so good finally hearing someone confirm it wasn't how the line was supposed to be read.

[@Oldmanhenderson12]

Kaiser’s current catchphrase is “So, the music here is from…”

[@ActiveAdvocate1]

The song in Japanese that plays during the dream sequence has the line "I love you, Piccolo-san" in it, and NO LONGER do I question where you got the "Piccolo is Gohan's real dad" angle. I went and looked it up, and it's cute. And stupid. So it's good that they dropped that going forward.

[@SonicmaniaVideos]

...? They didn't get it from that, the joke already existed and the fans who started making that joke most likely didn't see the Japanese version of this movie, if they saw it at all.

[@itsmilan4069]

Goku trying to set down the Spirit Bomb and ending up blowing himself up for the end of movie shot is one of my favorite sight gags you guys have done, easily top 3 if I had to ever try to rank it. Honestly, World's Strongest is my favorite movie you guys adapted at the end of the day. Just an amazing through-line and great payoffs.
