Reacting to DBZ Abridged Episode 57 & 58 Without Watching Dragon Ball Z

[@EditDeath]

In the actual show, the three people in the helicopter were Satan's students, who mostly just hung out on the sidelines and did nothing. The people at TFS f**king hated all of them, hence killing them off here. Scott then basically drove himself nuts deleting them from every scene for the rest of the series. Amazing the dedication that comes from spite!

@@YungandRekless545 You sure they aren't canon? I can't remember if they are in db kai or not but they are shown in the anime version of super in the BOG arc which would kinda make them canon to the anime timeline. For reference its during the clash between Beerus and Goku and there are waves of power emitting from them causing damage across the globe and we see Mr Satan on the phone to Piza and the other 2 are in the background answering phones.

@@thecoffeemainiak5400 they are all filler characters there entire character traits all three have is just Mr Satan but more which ruins the point of Mr Satan's character

[@ajimemes_]

The music during the four on one fight with Goku and Cell was a reference to the 'We Are Number One" meme from LazyTown. Rest in peace Stefán Karl, villain number one

[@Grimbear13]

So the creators behind the scenes just wrapped up and listening to Scott the main guy who's baby this was and the chief editor of it all made it a BIG point to edit out Satan's flunkies after he had them outright murdered lol. It was hilarious how much vitriol he had for those characters and how mad he was getting in the behind the scenes cause the shots where he knew looked awkward cause they were supposed to be there and were edited out... honestly if he never mentioned it I never woulda known lol

[@joshuadunn2]

There's one moment where it's very noticable they were edited out, where 16 shields all the "normies" from a blast, and one arm is stretched out over the empty space where the flunkies were. Other than that, you don't really notice. The only thing worth remembering about them is one of them slowly starts to realize that these aren't really tricks and these fighters are monsters compared to normal people, while Mr. Satan keeps riding the denial train. But that's only a few lines in a very short scene.

[@anidiot192]

Tbf they're not done since they still have Kai 2.9, Kai 3, the Cell VS shorts (iirc they said they'll do those) and probably the buu bits.

[@Elzzaw]

@@anidiot192 I think he means the TFS behind the scenes. They've been doing a creator commentary the past year or so and going over all the work they put in and their favourite bits and stuff.

[@anidiot192]

@@Elzzaw I also meant the creator commentaries, they only got to episode 60's epilogue, everything I've listed are things that the creator commentaries have yet to cover.

[@Grimbear13]

@@anidiot192 Really? From how they talke I think they recorded most of that much earlier in the year. Long before the Buu Bits were a thing, I'd love for them to do through that but the way the 60 BTS went it really felt like they were done.

[@ItsAVolcano]

Krillin referring to being "tambourined" is a callback to his first death back in DragonBall, where Demon King Piccolo's creation Tambourine wrecked him in a mostly offscreen fight. In a related note, the "stronger than Krillin" line is likely a reference to the fact Krillin has never won one of the martial arts tournaments in DragonBall, or even beaten any of the known champions.

[@bradcarver8127]

For as big a fans as the other 3 say they are, they know nothing of OG Dragonball

[@GreaterSociety]

[@JPL454]

To be fair Piccolo never won nor did he bit any previous champion as well

[@KyrialArthian]

He didn't "wreck him in a mostly offscreen fight". In fact, there wasn't even a fight, most likely. Krillin was already laid up in the hospital from a previous fight, and Tambourine just snapped his neck and left. That was Krillin's first time dying, with Namek being the 2nd. And this happened COMPLETELY off-screen.

[@sinvector8020]

Funny how of all the characters in this arc, Cell respects Yamcha...but despises Tien. 😂

[@artistanthony1007]

Pretty sure it is because he didn't annoy him and Tien was an obstacle on his path to Perfection.

[@chazo1367]

Tien got a legit one up on Cell that he never got revenge for and only got to move on because Tien ran out of energy to sustain it. He embarrassed the fuck out of Cell as a “mere human”

[@Bestienjager2490]

Cell has Shikouhou PTSD

[@giantenemycrab1192]

he knows yamcha killed himself in trunks timeline so he is nice to him

[@createdforthemoment6740]

I feel like its less about respect and more about defiance. Tien defied Cell where Yamcha didn't. It shows more a crack in Cell whos getting annoyed that a weak, pathetic human not only tried to stand up to him, but was able to.

[@kamerondawkins7349]

TFS has a small amount of bits that they did for the Buu Saga called the Buu bits, it doesn’t show the whole story but it shows all the main parts that people remember. After that there are Cell Vs. shorts that are just this perfect cell against multiple different characters in the cell games

[@Ryou_Sensei]

If im correct, the reason Hercule is always so adamant about not believing all the Ki stuff is because when he was just a student, his master, was killed by someone who used a Ki technique (most likely someone from the Crane Hermit School since they did assassination stuff with their Ki attacks) and since his master was the strongest fighter he knew, he came to the conclusion that the killer must have used some kind of cheap special effect trick to defeat, and kill, his master.

[@ShotoStephen]

The music during the Cell vs Goku fight is "We are number one" from the Nick Jr show Lazy Town

[@wingedbluj1674]

More accurately, a remix specifically made for that scene.

[@lunaangeleclipse9745]

A remix that can be found separately on the TFS channel, in case anyone wanted to listen to it in full

[@G4M3L0VER]

8:14 I love this scene here cause it shows that cell has beef with everybody except Yamcha cause the haven't fought before. And how cell hates Tien cause of what he did to him in his Semi perfect form (2nd Form)😂😂😂

they even go as far as to foreshadow Videl unlike the OG series but then again she most likely wasn't even in the planning phase at that point as a lot of DBZ was sort of done on the fly after the Freiza saga XD

It blows my mind that we are far enough away from the We Are Number One memes that not only is the song unrecognized, it's actually able to be enjoyed.

Once the series is finished, I highly recommend checking out their HFIL series. It's basically a continuation of all the different villains that were all killed in the main show, and it's hilarious.

[@franciscojaviermendezrinco1902]

19:39 The song that plays here is a remix of "We are number one" from Lazy Town.

[@arch_gabriel]

TeamFourStar released a series called "Buubits" which are sound bites and scenes they attempted to record. Features a couple scenes from the Buu saga

[@MattHunX]

From what I remember both Vegeta and Trunks did go into the Time Chamber for some more training, but they barely got anything out of it, hence why Trunks' hair was longer, again. Goku even asked him if he managed to get even stronger, and when he gave his answer, they should Vegeta looking pissed and disappointed, meaning they couldn't improve further.

[@katt-the-pig]

4:18 This remark is funny if you watch the Cell Vs. videos, first.

That is the one plot from DBZ that never made sense to me. It wasn't more than a decade ago that the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai happened, where Goku won, that every Z-fighter was involved and special techniques were used and no one back then or even 10 years prior (22nd Tenkaichi Budokai) had trouble believing does special moves, or flight, could done. I know that Toriyama has issues remembering a lot of his older plot but damn, some things should be too obvious to ignore/forget. And before anyone blasts me with "it was decades ago waaa," no, a decade is not enough time to forget major events like that, maybe a Century.

Still wondering how mr. Satan missed all tournaments of dragonball as a kid or teen? Because if he was part of audience in any of them he would not called those feats ¨tricks¨? Unless having inferiority complex not being able to do them himself growing up and during DBZ no contender could either so Mr. satan got convinced he imagined it as a kid?

[@vkdeen7570]

maybe he got into martial arts late so never saw them

[@desmondjb5257]

*Not a SPOILER* So the explination for why Cell hates Tien and likes Yamcha. 1.) He hates Tien because he kept Spamming Ki-Ko-Ho over and over which not only annoyed him but let #18 escape giving us a few episodes of Cell looking for 18 and Vegeta a chance to slam his second form. 2.) He likes Yamcha because he is genuinly surprised that Yamcha is alive. Remember Yamcha kild hmself in the other timeline so Cell assumed he had done it in this one.
