CELL VS KIRBY!!! Reacting to "DragonBall Z Abridged Cell Games" with Kirby!

[@DieselWeasel]

Her reactions to both the Bobby Hill kick, and to Cell going "is that @#&*ing FREEZA?!", were pure serotonin. XD

[@theduckgoesmoo]

I’ll never forget the first time I watch these

[@SoobiHoo]

When you do watch the Kenshiro fight, he's the main character from the 1980s anime/manga "Fist of the North Star." Fist of the North Star (1983) is a Shonen Jump staple predating the Dragon Ball manga (1984). Fist of the North Star inflenced the creation of JoJo: Bizarre Adventure and Berserk. Early JoJo's artstyle was influenced by the strong muscular characters of Fist of the North Star. Fist of the North Star takes inspiration from the Mad Max movie series, with Kenshiro being modeled off of Mel Gibson's character Max from the movie.

[@The_Blue_Otaku]

Yeah Kenshiro's design is like 50% Mad Max and 50% Bruce Lee

[@sinfulkivisian20]

Dont forget Cell vs Fleece Johnson. That is a match

28:45 out of all of the things that Duck is uncultured about, I believe this is the very thing that Made Kirby think even for a brief second, "How the f*ck are we friends!?" You can tell from that look she gave him and it's hilarious.

[@Dusxio]

Everyone has a breaking point XD

[@trevorsreya8277]

Cell's "I'm not a god damned Pokemon" Is Piccolo's "I'm not a Yoshi."

[@Narutonarutonaruto85]

24:09 That was Meruem from Hunter X Hunter. I guess he is kind of like their version of Cell. He is a chimera ant, a creature that takes the traits of those it eats and passes them on to their children. There were a lot of hybrid monsters for that arc.

[@PainCausingSamurai]

The first clip is from an anime called "Yu Yu Hakisho", which was incredibly influential. Lanipater actually worked on an abridged version of it before TFS even formed. He recently did a reaction/commentary to his old videos on his old channel.

[@zachariaravenheart]

YuYu Hakusho is such a great classic. It's got my personal favorite main cast from any series. The Lord of the Rings cast is a very close second at least, or perhaps a tie.

[@lisawingo-bb7kh]

I seen yu yu Hakusho is really good I love it it feels like most people don't know this show but I seen it 4 times the hole show I'm probably going to I plan on watching it again maybe sometime my favorite character ship is kurama x hihe I don't know how to spell his name but you know what I mean ❤ x 🖤 and probably going to check out oran hiscool host club soon too

[@EchoObserver9]

The kenshiro one is by far the best. "Are you going to eat that"

[@epikmanthe3rd]

I believe thats the only one they missed.

[@baylaust]

And to think, there was a period of time where Cell vs Bobby Hill would have been the last piece of DBZA Content released.

[@theduckgoesmoo]

And that’s beautiful

[@EditDeath]

For context, the "there's nothing cooler than being hugged by someone you like" bit is a reference to one of the 90's Sonic cartoons. It had different morals at the end of each episode, some of which addressed... unexpected issues for children's media. That line was the start of one moral saying to speak up in case of bad touches.

[@alexanderren1097]

It’s hard to pick a single favorite but Cell being such a perfectionist that he makes Yugio rage quit is definitely up there

[@alvaroperez2349]

This is where it all began for DevilArtemis.

[@chaossalad3243]

“Did you just use a magical notebook given to you by a death god to give me a heart attack?” 🤣 The dead tone delivery makes that one my favorite

[@lowkeyimloki8741]

The bug dude at the end is Meruem. He's basically Perfect Cell in Hunter x Hunter as far as his abilities but he keeps his tail.

[@DarkknightChris]

Before he did DBZA, Nick did Yu Yu Hakusho abridged on his own channel and what's funny is it's suddenly back on everyone's radar this past 24 hours due to Netflix releasing a ton of trailers, including one for the live-action adaptation of this anime. I find it weird in this video has Duck knowing pop culture more than Kirby.

[@fireball1249]

Oh yeah they both should definitely watch the Anime and/or the Abridged.

[@crimsonknight7011]

Yusuke is from Yu Yu Hakusho which is an AMAZING anime. Its one of the first animes to be introduced to the US alongside Dragonball Z and is a top tier anime with hands down the best tournament arc in anime

[@krbchris26]

I mean. Those werent the first animes introduced to the US, but they weee the first ones to really gain recognition and popularity alongside Sailor Moon

[@theinimitablejora522]

Xander Mobus, the Deadpool from this one, is kind of a voice acting legend these days. It’s easier to list what he hasn’t done, what with being the protagonist of Persona 5, the Southern accent take on Rufus Shinra from FF7 Machinabridged (if you remember that, I still look fondly on the ludicrous comment streak from those days) and- oh right, I almost forgot- THE ANNOUNCER OF FUCKING MODERN SMASH BROS

[@BassDS1990]

To answer your question; the color-coded God Cards are illegal, but we do have legal versions that have existed for well over a decade now.

[@KristopherPrime]

Gotta love the little detail that Yugi teaching cell how to duel took so long it wasn’t until nighttime that they were able to begin! And then cell kills the mood with the tournament rules!

[@crimsonknight7011]

The GS ball was originally a mysterious ball that couldnt be opened. It was gunna have Celebi the time traveling pokemon in it, but then they had the Celebi movie come out so they didnt do it. So after they spent tons of episodes carrying around this mysterious pokeball and had lots of situations around it, they deliver it to a resercher and they never talk about it again. So this great mystery was never resolved.

[@gurvmlk]

Which is still a really stupid reason to have not resolved it. Especially for people who perhaps didn't have the chance, or simply don't watch the movies at all. Hell, it was probably several years later before I finally saw the Celebi movie myself, simply because I didn't have the opportunity to watch it for a long time.

[@cardinalhamneggs5253]

05:40 The Egyptian God Cards (Winged Dragon of Ra, Obelisk the Tormentor, and Sky Dragon of Osiris) are banned from tournament use. The Æsir/Polar God Cards (Odin, Thor and Loki) from _5Ds,_ however, are neither banned from nor restricted in tournament play.

[@worland102688]

The reversal of the Instant Hell Murder cracks me up every time.

[@hermannmakuta3311]

4:32 - Soooo I guess after DBZA is finished We will get a yugioh-Abridged rewatch with Kirby

[@fireball1249]

We'd better get it.

[@theduckgoesmoo]

Ehhhhh that would later and after ff7ma for sure

[@JacobButter]

17:07 And it was at this moment that a sudden desire to she Kirby and Kyle as Jessie and James emerged. Good job.

[@K-11609]

7:50 I don't remember the name of the attack, but in the Street Fighter games that's pretty much how it looks; Dark Ryu or Akuma would move towards the enemy, the game would cut to black and you hear a bunch of random punches, then Dark Ryu or Akuma would pose like Cell did. Cell's "WHAT JUST HAPPENED" is a reference to how fans still don't know wtf happens during that attack.

[@ChiePet_]

sorry for how late this is, but Raging Demon is what you wanted; and it's super satisfying to land but to input as well (its like Light Punch Light Punch, forward Light Kick, High Punch as fast as you can.)

[@Starbolt-81]

8:06 that is DasBoShitt, he animated the 3D cell vs. videos. He used to do a series of Gmod videos back in the day called the Gmod idiot Box. He also helped a guy called Antone Delak with a series called Gorgeous Freeman, which is pretty funny but still awaiting a continuation.

[@DementisXYZ]

Excellent timing, as the Yu Yu Hakusho live action Netflix show was just teased today and...I might actually check it out. (That's what the first video is) "You have seen Yu-Gi-Oh, right?" Behold! A moment where Duck gets to make that face instead of Kirby!

[@peair2000]

"That's sad" - says the last person in the world who needed to say that.

[@TheSequimKid]

The first "fight" is Yusuke Urameshi and Kazuma Kuabara from YuYu Hakusho. Lani is a big fan of YuYu Hakusho and did an abridged version of it a long time ago, the original dub actually holds up and is one my personal favorites.

[@VirtueCry]

24:09 "No idea what that is." That's [a character] from Hunter x Hunter. The creator admitted that Cell was an inspiration for him. The design is always quite obvious, as he has a stabby tail and is bug-like

[@SkyReaperOne]

24:10 "No idea what that is" That was the picture of one of the best written villains in anime. You might want to watch Hunter x Hunter. It's a gem. That character is shamelessly a rip off of Cell's design for the looks (I think it was done intentionally too) but the plot surrounding him is something else ENTIRELY. Very deep. Even his name holds meaning, which is why I won't be saying it here, incase you decide to pick up the series. Wouldn't want to spoil it.

[@fireball1249]

Yes, they should definitely watch it.

[@BeControversialAlways]

Ya'll missed one the Fist of the North Star, that fight got referenced by cell, too. Also, I'm gonna order some Chimichangas...

[@kingbeauregard]

I dare the two of you to watch the first episode of "YuYu Hakusho", and record the reaction. Then decide whether you want to do the rest of the series.

[@misschieflolz1301]

Ah you need to watch the YYH dub. The voices for Yusuke and Kuwabara are absolute perfection here... and fun fact.... Kuwabara's sword can cut through dimensions. Canonically. It's a bit of an absurd power lol. If you liked the character dynamics.... that's exactly what they're like in the show itself.

[@fireball1249]

Yes and also the Abridged version by Lani.

[@MarkoDash]

From what I remember of the comics Deadpool actually prefers tacos to chimichangas, but he likes saying the word chimichanga.

[@Narutonarutonaruto85]

2:16 The guy in the ring voiced by Lani is Yusuke Urameshi from YuYu Hakusho, which I just found out is getting a live action adaptation. The guy outside the ring is Kazuma Kuwabara, who used to challenge Yusuke to fights daily, the only local guy to still do that, and was one of the few people to mourn him. He is also able to sense ghosts.

[@krissaunders6418]

The Cell picture that wasn't cell is from the anime HunterxHunter and the anime is really good. Made by the guy that made Yu Yu Hakisho. Yusuke from the first vs was the main character.

[@mr.p4548]

My headcanon is that you don't see Kaiser commenting on the videos because he's too busy screaming into the void each time he remembers you guys watched the abridged before the actual show

[@theduckgoesmoo]

[@TheUltimateRare]

first one is from Yu yu hakusho. the Anime with the best tournament arc in history. Imagine if we made Kirby watch Yugioh abridged....

[@michelvanderlinden8363]

"Okay what the F*CK is this fever dream?!" really does it for me

[@dkscribe8896]

The first short features an amazing 90s anime called Yu Yu Hakusho. Yusuke Urameshi works as a detective that battles demons and bad humans with his friend/rival Kazuma Kuwabara. Saying anything further would be spoilers, but it has one of the best English dubs in existence. If you watch it, I highly suggest you do so in the dub, it's hilarious and all the VAs kill in their roles.

[@fireball1249]

As well as the Abridged by Lanipator.

[@kingbeauregard]

"one of the best English dubs in existence" You can tell that, partway through the first episode, the voice actors said "you know, maybe we should play loose with the dialogue, just say what feels natural for the characters". And it really pays off. Here's an example. At the end of the first episode, when Yusuke is asking Botan (I paraphrase), "has there ever been something you didn't realize, that was obvious to everyone else?" ... that whole exchange is nothing like the Japanese version, where Yusuke simply agrees to do the thing. But having Yusuke ask it like that, it just feels so much more natural.

[@scottwoodward7103]

2:39 Yuyu Hakusho is the anime. I think Lanipator did an abridged version of that show before Team Fourstar was a thing.

[@5Areos]

god cards aren't banned but they are at this point laughably weak for what they cost

[@marioferrigno6093]

The first Cell vs video featured Yusuke and Kuwabara from Yu Yu Hakusho. It’s an old school anime that procedes DB (it debuted in the 90s) and is an absolute gem. I highly recommend it, especially the dub version. Justin Cook voices Yusuke and does a phenomenal job. Might be worth doing a YuYu Hakusho reaction series.

[@fireball1249]

As well as the Abridged by Lanipator.

Just some fun facts. The Master Ball actually has a 1/65,536 chance of failing to catch a Pokemon. Also, Deadpool actually doesn't care for chimichangas, he just likes to say the word.

[@Meteorite_Shower]

Should probably clarify that this is _only_ likely in the first generation of Pokémon games, if that. Later generations the formula for catching ensures that Master Balls will always work, and even later generations just bypass the catch rate entirely and make it an automatic catch.

[@TankUnarmed]

The reason Taka didn't get the role of Deadpool is because they do their best to not have people talking to themselves. Nick obviously does it fairly often toward the end(voicing both Piccolo and Vegeta) but they do their best not to cast that way when they can.

[@moosegiant01]

Kenshiro's fight is after all the others because he shows up on time not early. Lol

[@daveasher2687]

I look at you not knowing who DasBoSchitt is the same way you look at Kirby for not knowing Yu-Gi-Oh ;P He was the one who truly kicked off Gmod machinima as a genre with his Gmod Idiot Box series almost 15 years ago, and inspired many great video game parody animators to start their own thing and evolve internet parody culture as a whole. He is pretty much the same thing to machinima as Little Kuriboh is to anime abridging.

So the kenshiro fight is *technically* a spoiler but not a big one. So semi spoiler below. The fight shows cell getting his top half blown up and him rejuvenating. You're not technically supposed to know he can do that yet. It's not really a big spoiler though since it's not like they don't show cell getting a bunch of other damage in the Deadpool one.

Just wait till she sees the cell games from the...other universe~ 02:43 Oh I'm probably going to get a lot of work out of this set. Okay so this is Yu Yu Hakusho. And old shonen anime that, according to memes, loves tournament arcs. Like ADORES them. Like, saw them one day in the library at college and realized that his life was incomplete without em and that he NEEDED to get some of that. Which is funny to me, because I looked up the show and there are only 3 tournaments in there. 03:54 Oh my God a reversal! Looks like we're getting a yugioh abridged rewatch request incoming...Though a lot of the early episodes are kinda memetic but not as funny as I remember until Pegasus starts being more of a presence. THEN things pick up. 10:09 So, that is a reference to "Sonic Says". A segment where Sonic, specifically "Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog" Sonic, would teach kids morals at the end of the episode. That the first line of the most famous one. He then continues by warning about being touched in a way that's inappropriate. Yeah...

[@filipvadas7602]

To be fair to YGOTAS, DBZA's early episodes were also *rough* , for both shows it takes a good 5 or so episodes for it to start getting good

[@Vertraic]

Yes, there were only 3 tournaments... They covered about 2/3rds of the episodes of the series though:D Even fewer normal episodes if you remove the obvious filler arcs. The first tournament was 2-5 episodes depending on how you define the tournament., the second lasted from episode 26-65 and then the last one was 104-111. So not quite as many as I thought, only about 50/112 episodes were actually tournaments. There were a couple more sections that were darn near tournaments, just not the same type. The psychics arc was similar to some styles of tournaments, which would add eps 68-84, but it is not a tournament in the sense most people use the word for these so take it or leave it. Either 50/112 or 67/112 episodes are tournaments.

[@smugsneasel]

@@filipvadas7602 Yeah, but I can still chuckle to laugh at a lot of early DBZA. YGOTAS?...Not so much. Though also to be fair to YGOTAS, it was basically the first attempt at proper abridging so I don't think lesser of it for that as a whole.
