I wish I could share some unreleased material from 1998-2006. This material would destroy the fanbases understanding of what they "thought" they knew. All I can say is the biggest cover up of Dragonball is from 1997-2015 (and ongoing). One day it will be out.

[@Micheal_Anthony_1996]

It's now canon to me that Goku was a "I wanna be a firefighter when I grow up" kid

[@Micheal_Anthony_1996]

And honestly I also liked the idea of him being a hero in a way that was as simple and mundane (in comparison to fighting a super villain) as putting out a fire.

[@fireflocs]

He misunderstood what it meant to "fight" a fire and signed up without really thinking about it.

Tbh vr is phenomenal and perfect for 3d movies and would be perfect for those stereoscopic 3d video games people didnt know about bc advertising was bad and costs were too high

57:15 I did some digging. The Tokyo Skytee is 634 Meters(or 2,080 feet), according to the Super Exciting Guide Story Volume; Korin's tower is over 8,000 Meters(or over 26,000 feet). So technically The Skytree is smaller than Korin's Tower.

[@madjazza4098]

Thanks for this, I was told growing up that there are Japanese episodes that didn't air in English. Apparently so, it's been a while but I also loved jumping onto KZbin in 2006, finding random Japanese crossover clips etc from games to just Japanese ads or little special DBZ clips they would do for local Japanese tv. It's also like the animated ending they gave each series with different animated clips of the characters but it was just Japanese music covering them with an emotional journey like backdrop. Thanks for making this video, I'd always hope someone had done it.

[@Dragonballdave363]

This was awesome man! I had 3 specials in mind that I thought wouldn't get mentioned. RoF extended TV special, the Annecy special, and the Tokyo Sky Tree Special. You got all them and even showed some I didn't know about like the crossover with Goku and the singer. (I'm also a Who Framed Roger Rabbit & Space Jam fan). This was truly great man! I look forward to that "Crossover Video" you mentioned! Can't wait!

Hi Smug, great job! I've been looking for the alternate ending of the Hatchiyack OVA (more specifically the one where Goku defeats him with the Spirit Bomb) for a while now, but I always find it in poor quality.

14:16 yooo this is so cool, I wish I could have been there

[@insupportofjunhado]

Pretty Cure had a character use a Kamehameha type beam as way of saying "We love you Dragon Ball!", so Dragon Ball had two Pretty Cure 4D specials and put magical girls in the animated version of Super to say "We love you too." The history of Japan stuff is most interesting to me, but that's probably because I already know about the firefighting special. The street crossing one is hilarious too. Anyway, I'd like to see a Dragon Ball history of Hawaii special, because, you know. And there should be a real 4D centered around Hatchyak called The Plan To Eradicate Universal Studios!

[@shawziiz5031]

That Broly God story can easily be make as an OVA. They just need to change the method of how Goku become God Fusion Goku. In the 4D, Goku achieve it by fusing with "us aka audience" of that screen 4D. But for the sake of making an OVA, maybe they can make Goku try to gather ki to make Spirit Bomb, but instead of forming the Spirit Bomb, all those ki manifest into a humanoid form (like how Trunks somehow forge the Sword of Hope). So Goku end up fuse with that, basically Goku fused with all ki on earth

Lets be real the starting two at the beginning when they are doing PSA for fires the animation usually is lower quality so using designs of characters previously used helps speed it up and also lets me real kids will probably listen more with things they enjoy cause I do remember seeing similar things with other shows characters so it makes sense they do wanna use popular characters since kids more then likely pay attention to their ‘heroes’ and such

Goku learning lessons makes so much more sense in a PSA than teaching them. Hell they could have done little prequel shorts with Gohan teaching him stuff. Also weird to think Trunks may have not known about oozaru at all, since he wasn't born with a tail and nobody he knew had them either. the story just never came up? imagine knowing you're half alien, but assuming 'meh, they're basically human' then finding out the rest. I mean did anyone even tell him about tails? Wait a minute, I have definitely seen that new year special.. or at least a very similar scene. I remember Goku jumping in the bath... 22:25 Seeing end-of-Cell-Saga Gohan wearing the orange gi is.... weirdly surreal. Oh that's how he looked in Bojack Unbound? Didn't see that one. I think Funi made a mistake having GT Goku speak with his kid voice inside his own head.. I mean what else was Sean Schemmel doing for GT anyway? That episode kinda reminds me of how Pokémon aired episode 15 first, then altered the outro narration to say we'd be going back to see how they all got here. Then the next airing was episode 1. That particular version with that narration was never aired again. 57:28 holy hell, I haven't seen the 'Gokou' spelling in like, 20 years. Massively nostalgic.
