That was fun, even if a lot of time was taken up for filler. Tenshinhan's snark has progressed to become one of the best things in this series. They're really taking advantage of the fact they have almost every character together spectating. And they have definitely made me ship Goku and Cell. At least in DBZA canon.

If I do have a criticism, I'm not finding Mr. Satan's performance that funny. Maybe it's the delivery? Antfish can definitely act, but I feel like I'm expecting his excuses to sound a lot more desperate than they end up being. Like, he's coming up with excuses at the last moment, and he's struggling with it, and they're not supposed to be very believable. Maybe that's not what DBZA Mr. Satan is supposed to be like. I'm not sure.
I could have gotten into anything...and yet I chose the story aimed at young Japanese boys about martial arts, and later about super-powerful aliens punching each other really hard.

I think you meant "subtleties," not "subtitles."
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.

Maybe because it's purposely going with the whole "Wrestler" thing, but FUNimation's dub already goes with that with Cris Rager imitating a version of Randy Savage & they do that here, but it's not exactly the version of that voice that I would've liked. Plus, they try to flanderize him like they do pretty much everyone else for the comedy, but, until the end of Z, he's pretty much at his most bombastic & stupid all the time, so there's not much they can do there.

I completely overlooked the fact they weren't putting Shueisha in their disclaimer, until recently.
Hopefully their episodes won't get take down again. If it happens, better put Bandai there too. :lol:

Eh. One of the weaker episodes. Didn't really get a lot of laughs out of it.

Not a bad episode, but I don't think it was laugh-out-loud. Mr. Satan seems a bit too similar to his canon portrayal to me, at least for now. Abridged Tenshinhan is quickly becoming my favorite character, and CellxGoku is definitely the OTP of the series.

I don't see why people are complaining, I thought the episode was very good, the best one in a while.

Last episode was funnier, don't like much these Goku x Cell gay jokes, characters joking about Yamcha being useless is getting old, also your mouth/facial edits made that scene look bad, but I liked how you guys pointed that Goku never had a technique of his own.

I thought it was a funny episode, you guys used DB scenes when Jimmy announced that Satan was dead, right? I laughed at that, but wouldn't you guys have plans to use these scenes when abridging DB? :think:

Didn't like much the choice of tracks used in Goku vs. Cell, you guys could totally have used Cell theme from Ultimate Battle 22 in there, although you can still use it in somewhere else :D

Really? Goku has no techniques made by himself? I thought about Jan Ken Fist, but then I remembered that Gohan taught him, damn

The only techniques Goku himself invented are the ones from the 21st Tenka'ichi Budokai, like the Monkey Fist and the Mad Dog Fist, and the Dragon Fist thing from movie 13. Everything else is something he learned from somebody else. Unless you want to count Super Saiyan as a technique. In that case, the other Saiyans are ripping him off.

Well technically he's ripping off the original SSJ...

I think that'd be considered a coincidence rather than ripping something off.

Abridged!Cell keeps getting more and more to my liking. I mean he brought back the "NERD!" joke that we haven't heard since...what episode 27?

It was brought up in one of the GoQ&A videos MasakoX did, but as for actual episodes...you're probably right BlazingBarrrager

Is it even considered a "rip-off" if the person you're ripping off is your own dad?

Okay, so Gohan and Goten inherited Super Saiyan from Goku. Vegeta and Trunks just stole it.

What character did Kaiser play in Resurrection F again? I just wanna know if he's recorded for Super.

He played the Freeza begging for mercy right before Freeza kills them all.
