Reacting to DBZ Abridged Episode 31 Without Watching Dragon Ball Z

[@Stairwayafter]

I wouldn't say it got more serious but rather there is more character development in which creates more jokes that doesn't require pre-existing knowledge of memes or references

[@trolleyfan]

And they even did a specific opening for just this one episode to play into the "we're doing the Garlic arc now."

[@pulpjedaii]

Crazy thing is, in the original show, Krillin would've ended up with Maron had he had more confidence. He didn't feel like he was worth her so he let her go, she was into him for him but he couldn't see that. Ah well, in the end he got with 18 so he's STILL winning at life.

[@captin3149]

18 was a MAJOR uptrade

[@Hoontor]

Didn't stop him from naming his daughter after her; but that's more of Toriyama just re-using the name and not Krillan's fault.

[@aname7086]

​@@Hoontor. I know im late, but krillins daughter isn't named after this maron.

So the original Garlic was actually a villain that never had any screentime in Dragon Ball or DBZ. Jr. mad his first appearance in early Dragon Ball to settle a grudge against Kami, who was the one that actually banished Garlic Jr.s father to the Dead Zone as the guardian of Earth centuries before Dragon Ball takes place. Jr. is actually the only character in all of the Dragon Ball verse to successfully wish for immortality from the Dragon Balls.

[@chb2551]

Technically, Krillin wouldn't have gotten in trouble. The contract signed by the insurance company and Krillin would have been for him to have died. I highly doubt that the contract specified that he had to stay dead and couldn't be resurrected. Therefore, Krillin dying off planet fulfilled the terms of the contract, even if he was resurrected 4+ months later. So, I have a feeling that legally he would have been able to keep the money.

[@BeyondBlue22]

You guys haven't seen Dead Zone yet? I guess you need to see that and World's Strongest then. Those are the first two DBZ movies, but Team Four Star started with Tree of Might Abridged (the third movie) before going back and doing the first two.

Yeah, you guys have GOT to watch Dead Zone and The World's Strongest sometime soon, they're both great!

[@SSKazega]

Akira Toriyama has interesting naming conventions for his characters through out Dragon. Villains were often named based around themes such as colors. Musical instruments, vegetables, and Bulma is a play on "Bloomers", a type of women's underwear in Japan. Her last name is Briefs even, another type of Underwear

[@eveakane6563]

Saiyans are vegetables. Freeza's species are named after ice themes, while his minions are named after fruits (?), but I'm not sure about the Ginyu force. All of Bulma's family are named after clothes. Dr. Gero's family are an onomatopoeia of vomiting (Gero, Gebo, and his wife is similar but I can't remember the name)

[@vegeta002]

Brief is actually the _given name_ of Bulma's father, not a family name. Like almost every other Earthling character, the family doesn't have a last name. Bulma is just Bulma, Trunks is just Trunks, and her father is just Brief.

[@FinalFreak16]

@@eveakane6563 The Ginyu force are mostly named after dairy products: Ginyu = Gyuunyuu = JP word for Milk Burter = Baata = Butter Recoome = Rikuumu = Cream Jeice = Jiisu = Cheese. Guldo = Gurudo = Yogurt.

dragon ball characters dont have last names. only Son Goku and Son Gohan do. The dub changes that. Like making Bulma and Trunks last name Briefs. Tien's last name Shinhan (even though it's Tenshinhan), and Mr. Satan into Hercule Satan and Videl Satan.

[@GILLIGFAN]

[@karelfinn2343]

Toriyama likes naming characters after food. All of the Samoans are vegetables, all of Freeza's soldiers are fruits, the Ginyu Force is dairy, etc. Garlic Jr's guys were all named after spices and condiments, they just never got a chance to introduce themselves in this version.

[@karelfinn2343]

Saiyans, not Samoans. Damn autocorrect.

[@collector8502]

The fun thing is that tfs made the garlic jr abridged fakeout, then later on, instead of releasing the broly move on april first, they released "dragon ball z abridged kair 2.9" which was the garlic jr arc

[@reilen4359]

They are mad about Garlic Jr. but naming in Dragon Ball has always been like that. Vegeta=Vegatable, Kakarot=Carrot, Raditz=Radish, Nappa=Cabbage, Gohan=Rice, Broly=Broccoli. Freeza, Cooler, and King Cold. Bibbity, Bobbity, and Boo. Bulma=Bloomers, Trunks, Bra, with their last name Briefs. Bulma's sister's name is Tights Briefs. This episode brought up Pilaf (as in Rice Pilaf). The Ginyu force are dairy based: Jeice=cheese, Burter=Butter, Recoome=cream, and Guldo=yogurt. Piccolo's brothers are Piano, Drum, Cymbal, and Tambourine.

[@rpgrage7711]

Ah yes the filler garlic Jr arc still very fun

[@scholargrove]

Having major characters named Carrot, Freezer, Vegetable, Piccolo, all that is perfectly fine, but one character named Garlic? That's just too stupid, man, no way.

[@franciscojaviermendezrinco1902]

Now you need to watch the movie of the Death Zone. There's a scene that people think the abidged guys added, but in reality is original. Also, I don't think Krillin commited insurance fraud. Because technically he DID die, but they added nothing about being revived in the contract.

[@devonm042690]

Yeah, but somehow most people don't know the Dragon Balls exist.

[@Anime-Doof]

"You know, they say 'lifetime supply' but they never take into account the Dragonballs..."

It was fraud because he introduced a fake identity as the beneficiary of the insurance.

They probably actually would include clauses on being revived after being pronounced dead. That does happen occasionally happen irl after all.

Great timing, I JUST binged episode 1-30 with my younger brother in 3-4 hours, and we stopped after the season 2 finale 😂

[@RogueHippie13]

So in case y’all didn’t catch on, the whole Garlic Jr. thing is one of two filler arcs in DBZ. So that’s why it got skipped. Also, it’s not that TFS decided to get serious with Season 3, it’s just that the story had far more “straight-man” characters than the previous arcs, so less opportunity to do wacky jokes. It’s still funny as shit, just more focused now that most of the characters are established.

[@Crocogator]

Yeeee they mentioned that straight man thing in their creator commentary. But one of the funniest scenes in the whole thing is tien, piccolo, and bulma taking bets on who screws up first

It's actually quite impressive that the Garlic Jr saga filler was compacted into one episode, mainly highlighting Marron in the yellow bikini for clean christian reasons I'm sure, and cutting out the other nonessential stuff by making Popo even scarier. You will see his backstory in the Dead Zone movie. Marron continues to be a weird insight into Krillin's mental faculty; she looks very similar to Bulma, plus he named his daughter the same way (well, maybe different pronunciation the mother was very particular about it being pronounced the same way) Season 3 though is where things kick up a notch, the narrative becomes tighter and you'll find yourself having to remind yourself even more that this is a parody.

[@Sassaparilla]

The girlfriend is Maron. His daughter is Marron. (In Japanese, they are still slightly different, as "Marron" is "マーロン" instead of "マロン", the latter being "Maron") They're both named after the same thing, Chestnut in French. Maron in her entirety is noncanon, so the name being the same is nothing more than a reused asset.

[@liammccoin9598]

you were supposed to watch the "dead zone" movie that tfs abridged before this technically as garlic jr is refencing it in the beginning and in the end of the episode, that movie is basically the garlic jr arc your referring too, and yes ik there was a set of episodes that happened in the actual show...i mean in context of the abridged that movie covers the garlic stuff...and was ment to be seen awhile ago before this...

This is actually a filler episode and Maron is a anime only character. The reason why she looks so much like Bulma is rather depressing.
