I haven't, and don't believe I will be currently. I was just a minion who died; my last line is before Freeza blows up his men.

Ah, well that's a damn shame.
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.

It's pretty symbolic, I'd say. The soldiers are DBZA and Freeza is Toei. DBZA did its best to entertain DB fans when we didn't have new DB content, and even introduced some new fans to the series, but what they get in return is all their videos being taken down when Toei returns :P

MasakoX had a really fun nod to Toei being of two minds where they get TFS episodes taken off of YouTube, yet in episode 91 of Super do what could easily be considered a nod to DBZAbridged with that hyper close-up of Mr. Popo telling Vegeta he'll be banned if he blows up the RoSaT again. Does Toei like them? Not like them? Is Toei tsundere for DBZAbridged?

Probably some rouge writer who snuck the reference past the editors.

The views of a company is not the same of all its employees. Especially the Employees who have a pretty good sense of humor, and doesn't mind having a little bit of fun, hence Ghost Nappa from Episode 75, and now Creepy Popo.

I highly doubt that it's a reference to us at all, guys. While there's visual similarities, it's not like we weren't pulling from some already well established visual ques of Mr. Popo. That blank stare is pretty unnerving all on it's own.

The way that copyright law works is that if you don't fight people that use your copyright you can lose it. Even if Toei was best friends with Team Four Star they would still need to contest them in order to have no legal doubt that they are the copyright holders. However I don't think the newest episode was directly a reference to TFS but Toei do know the memes and play with them(Yamcha Godtube etc). I find it likely that Popo is a meme that transcends TFS and they know of the meme and not its origin.

No, that's not true at all. You have to fight people who use your trademark, not copyright.

I have to ask - what was the point of the fakeout with killing off Mr. Satan? Did you originally intend to kill him off but decide not to?

I honestly don't think it was a fake-out. Before I saw everyone here saying that Satan was dead, I thought he was just knocked out just like in the show, just with an added blood effect.

One could argue that Super Kamehameha is Goku's own as he is the one that upgraded the move. If upgrades count Goku has upgraded that move several times.

The one original move that Goku had is the move he used to defeat Piccolo Daimao. Too bad he never uses it again, except as the Toei-altered version of it named Dragon Fist.

Dragon Fist isn't really the same thing aside from the fact that the opponent is usually in the air

IMO, it's clearly the same thing.

Here's the comparison between three scenes:

In all of them, Goku jumps towards the opponent and imbues one fist with Ki power and piercing qualities to go through his opponent. Goku did it to defeat Piccolo Daimao, Hirudegarn in movie 13 and super #17 in GT. The only real difference, besides fluff, is the replacement of Oozaru with Shenlong.

So, to me, it's clearly the same thing. At most, I would call Dragon Fist the upgrade of the technique Goku used against Piccolo Daimao. And it's basically Goku's only original attack/technique.

You mean the one where he Ki-blasted himself in the air and punched a hole through Piccolo? Does that count as a technique?

I put the relevant pictures of that scene in the above post. And yes, I would say it counts as a technique because it's not simply a punch. Goku intentionally imbued his fist with Ki so that he could pierce through Piccolo Daimao. You can see in the scene that his fist is glowing with Ki:

The way Goku got in the air, however, was just a Kamehameha. Goku blasted a one-arm Kamehameha to get airborne and then improvised this technique to penetrate through Piccolo Daimao.

Dragon Fist is the continuation or evolution of that technique, as you can see in the images I placed in the above post. It just substitutes Oozaru for Shenlong as the symbol of the attack.

Dragon Fist was such a powerful technique, I wish we could see Goku using it on Super someday

Is TFS Goku a narcissist? Is that why he likes Cell's face because he sees himself in Cell (no pun intended)?
