Question: When Kuririn dies, do you plan on giving him a 'death count', or is just going to be another 'owned' moment?

Imagine if Vegeta stayed alive and Goku buries him to "protect him" or whatever and creates a hole while Vegeta proclaims all sorts of curses to get Goku to stop him from burying him in the hole.

Vegeta is buried in the hole but is too weak to get himself out and can only yell out from under the ground.

Hows about that for a joke?

EDIT: I guess I should of said "What would you think if this was a joke?" instead ._.

No offence, but you're not one of the people working on this parody. This isn't a thread for gag suggestions.

I thought it was hilarious and "in character" for TFS' Goku.

Maybe my memory is a little fuzzy, but I seem to recall that during the Goku Vs Freeza fight, they tried to drag it out by picking one thing to focus the entire episode on, when a short scene could have worked about as well.
Which leads me to believe that the abridged version could conceivably turn each of those episodes into a single joke.
Which sounds underwhelming until you remember.... Goku Vs Freeza.
Although, TFS is more clever than that, so yeah. :)

But hey, either way the episode is still going to be entertaining with the effort put into it.

I can't wait to see how they'll handle Krillins death scene, because an owned count seems too predictable. And TFS is way too clever to keep things predictable.

All I want is to see Goku slapping the shit out of Freeza. If I get that then I'll be 100% satisfied.

By any chance, was Vegeta yelling "dakka" as he attempted to shoot Freeza a Warhammer 40K reference?

Still curious to see how you're gonna handle Goku's transformation.

Although Goku is my least favourite abridged character (Generally because he is in like, 4 actual episodes, seriously, I treat Krillin as the main), in this episode, he won me over.

Also, Soulja Boy reference would have been great if I didn't hate his existence so much

Would MasakoX ever do a full cover of "Coconut"? Because that was one of my favourite bits from this episode.

Well, this is the Freeza arc. You'll probably be seeing a lot less of him in the Cell arc.

TFS posted this on their FaceBook. This is a Toonami version of the Abridged Intro:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C__wF4v1p0Q
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!
