I swear so true😂

all hail king Vegeta

Oh man here we go again.

Please continue the abridged series it gets so much better

[@atesz567]

So true, the Android saga goes BRRRRR :D

[@Ash_Wen-li]

The first episode is actually the worst because the didn't really "find" their style of humor yet

[@superkamiguru9745]

I second this 👌🏽 I haven't seen someone react to DBZA since blindwave

[@joseph7471]

Every episode, they knew better how to do this

[@DavidRoyald]

Yea, wait freezer saga plz

[@Dragon_Gaming-l6y]

DBZA reactions will go hard

[@infernolight8147]

IT FINNALLY HAPPENED

[@kien9350]

OH BOI , another reason to rewatch DBZ Abridged you on a journey man

[@lukajeknic806]

Not even exaggerating when I say it gets infinitely better, pushed the boundaries of what an abridged show can do, people who never watched dragon ball can also love it

[@Waluigiisbest99]

They really shouldn't do that, People who watch this first always get the worst misconceptions of the show and carry the worst stereotypes for characters, I am not hating on DBZA but that is the facts. No first time watchers experience should be with the parody abridged of anything.

[@lukajeknic806]

I think you're right about that actually, but I just like some of the parts they added in the abrigded, also the pacing is alot better

[@2amCryptid]

@@Waluigiisbest99 a lot of reactors first time watching anything Dragon Ball related watched this first, JacktheBus is a good one and he's already finished Super and Broly, played Kakkarot and FighterZ. TFS bring him up sometimes and they're grateful they were his first experience. As an older DB fan I dont think there's anything wrong with DBZA being the first experience

[@MilleniumKage]

@@2amCryptidthere’s tons wrong. It ain’t faithful in characterizations and to say it’s alright than never seeing the source material is a slap in the face and huge levels of disrespectful

[@marvelsandals4228]

It wild looking back on these old episodes, especially knowing how the bar of quality raises over time, like from episode 1 you'd think Kaiser was struck by lightning sometime during season 2 and suddenly gained a great sense of humor. I unironically enjoy the Piccolo myspace bit, its stupid, but its a jab at Piccolo being lonely, which is true to his character, I think that's why it works. I suppose I shouldn't throw Kaiser under the bus, a bunch of people contributed and this was the final product so they're all to blame haha

[@Albixn]

It's a bit of a rocky start but I promise you Nick this turns into the greatest fan made series of all time, so glad you chose to watch this

[@petertraicer]

This abridged series is amazing, it only gets better with time. Please watch it entirely.

[@vailingbow1068]

I really hope Nick continues to react to DBZ Abridged. It's hilarious.

[@abhishek.k7713]

​@@MTAKIM-xy9jdA fandub of the original series

[@WesleyImboden]

Show gets so much better after a few episodes, production quality and comedy really improves

[@sebastianm.6669]

i'm biased when I say this but: Toriyama's original DBZ work is superior to any changed form, kinda sad that Nick spoiled himself, probably thinking that the series wouldn't appeal to him

[@djgabucay]

Yeah. He should've started with originals. Not this pig comedy shit.

[@Ash_Wen-li]

Well it's kinda sad that his first experience of the series is the abridged version. You can't really appreciate any of the storytelling that way

[@matthewjutzen424]

All the references they make only make sense if you've actually seen all of the Dragon Ball episodes, the movies and dbz. It works by itself too but, it's not the same as for example, catching the Turles reference that Raditz made. Basically it's kinda like watching Avengers Endgame without having seen any other MCU film.

[@IamKindness]

3:54 funny thing is Appule is actually way stronger than Raditz lol

[@shauryasuri3653]

Next episode is even better. The yoshi joke is actually really funny

[@dragonslayergu1161]

Aw man, he’s gonna develop TERRIBLE misconceptions about this show due to seeing the parody first lol

[@none_tw]

FINALLY, damn! I've been recommending this probably since the beginning. Thank you to whoever showed it to him or for him for finally deciding to watch this xd I really think Nick will enjoy this whole ride. Enjoyable to react to too!

[@anotherpooltoyproto]

"Please, can i live here" Bro did NOT see that coming 😭😭😭

[@Yog-shi]

taken me all the way back to 2008. Of all the things Nicholas could react to I would never expect this. Hope you stick with it, the first few episodes haven't aged all that well, but it gets pretty great.

[@irinneganeye5585]

RIP the man who started influencing people to start making anime. DBZ will forever we the father of all anime, fly high master.

[@KegOfMeat]

Pausing every 30 seconds, is this what we can expect from this reaction series? Brilliant.

[@chillwill2918]

I just found out that Nappa is 8 ft 10 which makes sense since he towers over Piccolo who is 7 ft 5. Raditz is 6 ft 3.

[@Reinch_ChannelAboutEverything]

It's over guys. He'll watch the Abridged version and think afterwards that he watched the real thing. Here goes another "Piccolo is Gohan's father" victim

[@musicarain4702]

Piccolo is gohans father

[@Mikaracat]

Meh, you say that like it's a bad thing.

[@thelucky_xiii]

​@@Mikaracatit is tho

[@paulshelkov7956]

The part I struggle with is that sooooo many jokes are DBZ references.

[@projectmessiah]

TFS didn't start that at all, Dragon Ball fans love blaming shit on TFS but most misconceptions about DB existed long before TFS

[@Biblecmpvictm]

Raditz showing up thinkin he was Leroy Jenkins😂

[@thesyndrome43]

Tom from myspace retired in his 20's, he sold the website for a LUDICROUS amount of money back when it was popular (and right before it became stale) and said "well I'm never working again" and by god he did it

[@TrevorNickell]

The crazy part is that this parody eventually becomes a solid interpretation in it's own right.

[@ACobalt]

Emphasis on "eventually" lol, first couple of episode are ROUGH.

[@aaronyayger]

@@ACobalt I'd say the entire first season is pretty rough. Second season gradually gets better until it becomes really good. Once it hits season 3 it doesn't drop in quality at all. It's great the entire time.

[@sikox209]

@@aaronyaygeragreed! The first few episode are a little iffy😂 then it just improves every season

[@ДавидГригорьев-ф3ж]

​@@aaronyayger Nuh, Pecking order was like episode 3/4 and it was already peak.

[@aaronyayger]

@@ДавидГригорьев-ф3ж Uh no. The dialogue and quality throughout season 1 is iffy and riddled with 2010 internet "le randumb xddd" memes. Sorry, bro. Those don't age well. There are obviously moments here and there that are good, but it's not remotely consistent. It doesn't get consistent until the ginyu force and it doesn't get consistently good until right when Nail fuses with Piccolo.

[@TnT_F0X]

If I was Yamcha I wouldn't even cheat on Bulma with myself... Trunks would be born 10 years early and boring but I'd be sugar daddy to the heir of the richest family on Earth.

[@WuMyth]

No better way to honor akira toriyama than watching… the parody

[@xxfroznxx4803]

I really hope nick watches dragon ball one day like its the one thing i wish he will watch

[@JDvb23]

You’re going to absolutely lose your shit over the OSTs used. The song they remade for the finale is such a beautiful send off

[@fragensteller8211]

SHESH I love DBZ Abridged man it will get so much better But it will NEVER replace the Original when you have time you should give DB Classic and after that DBZ Kai a try

[@AStixMatism]

Nick will watch anything but actual Dragon Ball Z

[@day7053]

To be fair, half of the dragonball a fan base has never watched og dragonball. Dragonball fans are weird.

[@AStixMatism]

@@day7053 if not og dragon ball then at least the original DBZ, but i guess he's just going straight into it abridged

[@chivosalazar9301]

I love Nicholas's reactions and I do honestly feel he would be one of the biggest DBZ fans ever if he sat down and watched it. The passion he shows is damn near unrivaled. It would be awesome redirecting that towards the Dragon Ball story....

[@yamiali1783]

You know it's a good day when reactor you like reacts to a show you like

Please continue this brother! I will always vouch for how this series just gets better both in VA quality and in their writing.

[@redcrystal462]

This is the one, this is the series I've been wanting to see you react to since stumbling on the channel

[@SpiralZest]

Try to keep in mind that the depictions of the characters are exaggerations and meant to be parodies. I'd recommend watching the OG before continuing.

[@versati1eceo]

YESSSS ABRIDGED!!!! It was basically my cable in school

[@wojo2270]

Good luck getting past the first few episodes. They got infinitely better as the series progress

Oh my god he's doing it! Strap in for an exponential growth in quality all around.

[@BOZxDOG]

[@aho4861]

Another "false db fan" was born today... He's never gonna read the manga and is gonna add members to people who think they understand dragon ball... But well, his will of learning about dragon ball is still here, so we can hope

[@jeremygeorgia4943]

This is definitely an example of Old KZbin. You would see Flash animators from NewGrounds branching out to do projects like this, on KZbin. Early on, you'd get a couple episodes per year. At one point, they started offering these every three months or so. Like the name says, they abridge the episodes, and remove a lot of the stuff that made the original show drag, like staring at each other with no dialogue. The storyline also takes a path of its own, and I kinda like it better. I've also gotten used to the voices, so that the originals sound a bit weird, now. I think it's a great way to binge & revisit the series without fluff & filler. It's really hard for me to stop, once I've started watching it. They say it gets better. I can confirm that. Also, it doesn't take very long to do that.

[@JetBazooka21]

That set up is looking clean

[@chillycano6750]

I've been praying for days like this. I would love if you did the whole series. I'll like and comment on every episode. I put that on Duper Kami Dende

[@sumicmusic]

after the first saga, this show takes a turn and starts taking itself very seriously while also making the jokes way funnier, there are legitimately amazing non comedic scenes and what they do with the source material makes it imo equal to the original

[@itzNaddy]

The Goku bad dad ideology gonna be burned into his brain 😢

[@Alexj-kd7ew]

Please continue watching it gets so good with nappa, freiza and cell, you really get to see the progress of the production around the namek saga

[@danielbarron3379]

Oh man I'm so happy this is happening. It gets peak hilariocity oncee you get to the android/cell saga just like in the actual show

[@IamBaum]

Please also do the rest, this series becomes so fantastic over time.

[@ultrahotwings9738]

Peak KZbin, alongside things like ERB. Although, I'm pretty sure reaction channels existed back then. I remember that one channel makemebad35 or whatever.. the guy who would scream all the time, making reaction videos. Even made one to 2girls1cup (my friends used to make fun of the one part where it was slo-mo). God, these older videos make me nostalgic for older internet. I hope they don't have to put warning on these the way they did on Rush Hour. Watching that movie nowadays on TV and seeing that the TV had to say "this movie was a product of its times" just breaks my heart. There are abridged shows now, though! Some of them are pretty good.

[@diamondave9837]

watch dbz kai or og db if you really watch dragon ball

[@childofbodom1314]

It only gets better from here 🔥

[@ryanbenedict2754]

FINALLY HE DID IT

[@Tysuonet]

He skipped classic dragon ball :(

[@fernandohinojosa3211]

The state of anime reactions, they react to any dumbass parody rather than the original show or some of the anime classics. Anime fans are entirely to blame.

[@justinsanegaming9724]

Best series ever we need 3 eps a week tho it gets soo much better after episode 20

[@samuelsmith9582]

It takes the whole saiyan saga to improve and afterwards it's like 99% gas.

[@n0fail]

Holy shit, Christmas is early. First few episodes are mid but they get so good at writing the rest is 10/10

[@Nameless_NoName]

The one time I don't watch the random stream.. Hands down other than RvB this is the best of the best web series.
