Bardock went Super Saiyan because he thought the time travel plot is stupid.

[@chelseapurbose2902]

Which it is

[@vgtrp]

Not that I blame him.

[@DogEarredNymph]

"Say goodbye to your son" "I have one of those? Oh God I have TWO of those!" Considering that DBZA comes back with the Buu Bits I hope they end up using that line 😂

The actor that plays Lord Chilled played Tien and Android 17. He wanted a role where they could go all out wacky.

[@JoesAnimationHub]

Marc Soskin, Alias Ganxingba. I LOVE his Chilled, as proven by Nick Landis in the Episode of Bardock commentary Chilled is VERY hilarious and quotable. "You mad bro?" *"A LITTLE!!! THANK YOU FOR ASKING!!!!"*

@JoesAnimationHub Thank you for the extra info. I've heard the name so many times, but have never seen it spelled out. Didn't want to butcher it.

[@kaialone]

Yeah, the official "Episode of Bardock" short was made like, decades after the original show ended - it was like around the early beginnings of them starting to make more DB animation again, but before the revival with Battle of Gods that eventually led to Super

[@mylightobscures]

yeah It was a neat era where we were getting bits of new or remastered old content with a newer animation style similar to stuff we'd seen in some video game opening cinematics Stuff like the special introducing Tarble, the condensed and reanimated Hatchiyack special in DB Raging Blast 2, the Ultimate Tenkaichi animated cutscenes, etc.. That polished artstyle was pretty for a while but kinda got old for me by the time Res of F happened and then DB Super actually began Been enjoying the newer animation in the DB Super movies so far tho-- and of course, there were some noteworthy highlights in Super too

[@karelfinn2343]

You kinda talked over my favorite joke in the episode, which is that Bardock really did invent the fake moon that Vegeta used to transform back in the Saiyan Saga, as the original English dub claimed for, like, some reason.

[@Aray27]

The actual special came out in October 2012 as extra content for Dbz Kinect on the xbox360, honestly the special was probably the only good thing from that game.

[@EskChan19]

It was released as just a holiday special in japan before, they only bundled it with DBZ Kinect overseas, just like the Hatchiyak movie also released in japan years before and then got bundled with Raging Blast 2 overseas. But none of them were made for the games, they already existed as normal specials way before.

[@Aray27]

[@mckenzie.latham91]

@@comeatmebro8120 That’s fair as the TFS crew has gone on record saying this special in the original series is their most hated episode special ever, because of how nonsensical and badly written it is.

[@BeyondBlue22]

The fact that they even made a joke about Bardock creating the false moon technique as a "scientist" in the original English dub right at the end is hilarious lmao

[@mylightobscures]

I'm just imagining an interaction between Bardock and Gohan Bardock: You know... I'm something of a scientist myself lol

[@logandavis3595]

If you guys want to know how this was made TFS are currently doing commentary over the episodes you guys already reacted to as well as future ones

[@mamluk]

This is actually several people doing the Kermit voices. Lani, Kaiser and Takahato both said in one of their commentaries that they all took turns doing voices for different ones.

[@Shadow_ci]

15:30 is a throwback to Sayan saga It was translation error or something... I don't really remember Vegeta when creating a the artificial moon to transform said that technique was created by Goku's father and that he was a average fighter but a brilliant scientist

[@IBeforeAExceptAfterK]

It wasn't a translation error so much as it was the dub blatantly making shit up.

[@Shadow_ci]

@@IBeforeAExceptAfterK ah, i see. i know there's a lot of different dubs but I don't know much about them and what they are called, I remember watching few episodes in the dub where they call piccolo a Sayan and i watched all of DBZ in the original dub... I think. With all the iconic voices and almost 300 episodes

[@IBeforeAExceptAfterK]

@@Shadow_ci Fair enough. I'm not familiar with any dubs that call Piccolo a Saiyan, but I could believe it exists. The "brilliant scientist" line comes from the Ocean dub, which is somewhat infamous for its misguided attempts to tone down the violence of DBZ to make it more kid friendly. The "they blew up the cargo robot" joke also comes from that dub.

[@cameronshiells5598]

The fact they are acting like team 4 star were the ones that animated this, saying wee done for them for having it be more recent animation is so funny

[@lilllwizzzle]

There's a reason the channel is called "Sorta Stupid" clearly 😂

[@A5p3r07h]

12:16 Spectacular bouts of violence accompanied by classical compositions is my absolute favorite thing.

[@Kortegard0341]

3:00 This movie was an add-on to Dragonball Z Kinect, yes, THAT Kinect.

[@Sleipher]

It is also implied the "S.P.U.G" is actually the liquid they put in the regeneration pods in the Freezer arc, and that's why they were actually at the planet, cause they wanted the"S.P.U.G"

[@KegOfMeat]

This, Creator Commentaries of DBZA episode 52 on the Four Star Bento channel and Totally Not Mark’s Buu Saga Review with DBZA Buu Saga clips, it’s all coming together. Episode of Bardock was released as a bonus feature on Dragon Ball Z For Kinect in 2012, a year after the “films” Japanese release.

[@stardmg]

Not sure what you guys mean by "quality", the animation just looks much newer and cleaner because the special this is abridging was produced and released in 2011, while the original Z anime came out from 1989 to 1996.

[@jadenwalker2052]

The TFS crew hated this, and just said fuck it and did whatever.

[@mckenzie.latham91]

this special (the actual episode not the TFS version) Is Kaiser Nekkos most hated special in the original franchise they literally have open contempt for it.

[@BluePhoenix_]

So this special is set on planet Plant, so technically these would either be the Tsufurujins' (Tuffles) forefathers, or an unrelated species, that lived there before the Tsufurujins. The saiyans only arrived on thar planet later, after Planet Sadal was destroyed.

[@EskChan19]

Well Tsufurujins aren't canon so in this OVA they simply don't exist.

[@nicodemusmaxwell1624]

Actually, the little purple aliens are all voiced by different people doing Kermit impressions. It’s kinda scary how hard it is to tell.

[@itsCaptainEli]

I *think* space Australia and space france are on the same planet, as Jeice and Salza are cousins in Dbza. But that's just kind if a theory, I don't recall what tfs said on that.

[@krbchris26]

Jeice and Salza are cousins in official Canon. That isn't exclusive to abridged

[@rainbowprism6242]

The whole thing is truly fanservice. Btw, they did another retcon through new Broly movie, but it is pretty bullshit, since they forgot one crucial detail: Freeza remembers Burdock. Back when Goku fought Freeza in canon (both manga and anime), Freeza said he reminds him of lone saiyan warrior who dared oppose him. And then he says: "Could it be you are son of that Saiyan?"

[@217adaptiveperspective]

We do know that Super Bardock atleast managed to go out into space and fight his army, but yeah, it's never shown that he ever gets to Frieza or anything...Toriyama forgot that part happened I guess...

[@EskChan19]

@@217adaptiveperspectiveAs he is known to do.

[@Degalon]

This came out when Super was retconning everything left and right, trying to turn Bardock into Jor-El, claiming he's a scientist and saw Goku off when he was originally just another genocidal saiyan soldier.

[@BL-9065]

Fun fact, Bardock's red headband is actually the blood-soaked armband of his murdered best friend. When he picks it up in the og movie, you see it dramatically change color from white to red as it gets covered in blood.

[@willcline5918]

You see, Sorta Stupid, you aren't dealing with the average DBZ animation anymore. The quality has risen above and become a legend. The legend that you praise

Chilled in GanXingba by the way, same guy who voices Jeice and Tien. XD Also, the Proto-Saiyans are being voiced by a mixture of Kaiser, Taka, and Lani, its not just one of them.

[@alessandroreyes3827]

The reason on the voice is because they voice actor wanted to have fun instead of voiceacting again a characters that was serius.

fun fact: this bardock apparently became xeno bardock and he has more then just ssj he has 2 other forms as well in xenoverse 2 ssj2 and ssj3. both of which he obtained via the fight with the main bad guys [who i can't ever seem to remember their names] but they controlled the time breakers.

[@Nightout88]

and yes xenoverse confirms there are TWO bardocks running around. super bardock and classic bardock. classic is way stronger imo.

[@EskChan19]

@@Nightout88 yeah but neither this OVA nor Xenoverse or Heroes are canon in any capacity so none of this actually exists. But yeah in the xenoverse timeline, that's true. In Heroes he later on also gets SSJ4

[@LaLaBrave]

I know this is long after you guys watched these but i just gotta ask for retrospective clarification. Were you guys convinced animated anything?

They just went all out on the jokes because the special is noncanon hence why all of the past sayians are all named after rappers. They said fuck it it's funny put it in 😂

[@SS2Dante]

It's not just that it's non-canon, it's that it's specifically *stupid af*. No reason for them to take this seriously when the company themselves clearly didn't - as they say at the beginning, this was clearly just a cynical marketing thing to shoehorn SS Bardock into the universe.

[@braedenmartin8596]

No way lord chilled said we need to style on our opps 😂😂😂

[@Dad......]

The Android Saga aired in 1992. The Episode of Bardock aired in 2011. That's why you're noticing a quality difference.

[@FIYAFADAT]

The saiyans only took that planet those purple people on they aren’t descendants

[@arthurmyers4353]

Episode of Bardock was just "What If Bardock somehow was brought to the past before being destroyed completely by Frieza's Supernova?" It is very cool, and somewhat canon within Super, but not there i a timeline where Bardock possibly is just roaming the Cosmos

[@EskChan19]

That's because this is an OVA and not a movie. Those are just special episodes released for special ocassions, but they don't have movie length and are not officially considered movies, just like the "Yo, Goku and his friends return!" OVA. Also, this never got dubbed in any language other than japanese, so if you only watched dubbed, you wouldn't have found this either. It was released overseas with DBZ Kinect but even then it was subbed and not dubbed

It's so annoying to watch self proclaimed Dragon Ball fans not knowing most of the movies. The first Bardock movie is old, 1990, while this one is from 2011, that is why the drawings, colors and animations are different. They literally made Bardock go back in the past and become the OG legendary super saiyan.

[@TrueHavoc13]

So the team four star writers really hate the original special for a couple reasons. First it was the most obvious cash grab dragon ball has released to date. Second it completely changed bardocks character from being a badass space pirate who's slaughtered millions to some weird altruistic savior. Spoilers for super broly below I understand that super broly softens him up too but it's really him just wanting his son to survive. Not risking his life for weird strangers.

[@krbchris26]

Having seen the special myself, it's not really about Bardock building a relationship with them. It's more just the bloodshed around him reminding him of his slaughtered teammates and how it shows he is still pretty weak
