The attack Tien used against Cell actually requires him to use his very life force, so each time he used the attack, he was shortening his own lifespan. That's why the attack was so powerful.

[@jonreese7066]

The move Ten Shin Han used was supposed to be a special move that shortened the life of the user after each use. It was supposed to be a secret weapon back in Dragon Ball

[@burningfox4974]

Yeah most of the “Big” moves used to be ones that “put tremendous strain on the human body” or “uses your life to enchance it”. But then we get Sensu beans and even the “we’re so strong we negate the downside”. Kinda like the Kaioken

[@coranbaker6401]

I still think it's silly that of all the techniques to copy from other people, Goku never learned the one that's even stronger than the Kamehameha

Well they made the song and it was on their website for a while, not sure about Spotify.

They should do DBZ Kai Buu Saga first! It won't take as long as you think! Then the Buu bits will be much MORE satisfying!

[@BasilLecher]

Without the full video around them, I don’t know if there’s enough context for people who haven’t seen DBZ to get the effect. If you don’t know what’s going on, it’s like watching an out of context clip show of funny gags.

The last time someone said "Teacher X is dead" was when I still went to school ... we had a WhatsApp group and one of the students wrote "Yes!" as a response, because they thought it was just the typical "Teacher X is sick, so we can go home earlier" ... well, 30 min. later I arrive to class and turns out, the teacher actually died ... so ... eh ... yeah ...

The last time Tien gets to do something, which is a shame because he's cool, trains as hard as a saiyan would and he always shows up for the fight when called for, Roshi, Yamcha, Chiaotzu, they all end up sitting back and sitting out but Tien always shows up, plus he should have godlike powers but Toriyama doesn't want to use them. Fun Fact: The fake Android 17 Cell uses was the originally planned personality for abridged 17. Also it's the birth of the pop effect for Instant Transmission for TFS. Vegeta with a moustache is a reference to GT, he briefly had one but then his daughter, Bulla, said he looked lame so he shaved it.

Maybe a lack of communication of boundaries led to a falling out or something. I just don't know, but from an outside mostly 3rd party who only has been watching the channel for like a year maybe.

There's also Dragon Ball Z Kai Abridged by them, which reduces all the filler by making a full season into a few minutes, joke to joke to joke with a different script, some good changes. I'd probably watch DBZAKaiAbridged before Buu Bits. With Buu Bits just telling the Buu Saga through short clips made for a DBZ Review channel, when put together it feels more like a DBZAKaiAbidged episode. As for after DBZA First their filler content (song parodies) and their 3 minutes to tell a whole season DBZ Kai Abridged before Hellsing ultimate Abridged (TFS) and SAO Abridged

While Kai did cut out a majority of filler, that only applies to the first half. Unfortunately, The Final Chapters did not do that. In fact, Japan actually got a shorter version that did cut most of the filler, while the international version kept the filler from Z for the Buu saga.

[@richardsinclair7661]

You phrase it like the Buu saga in Kai is *loaded* with filler and it isn't. Yes, there are a number of scenes that are slightly prolonged in the anime that aren't manga accurate (Vegeta's fight with Pui Pui, Gohan's fight with Dabura, Goku and Majin Vegeta's fight, etc.), but it's not so cumbersome that it detracts from the experience.
