What an awesome Christmas present haha!

I loved hearing Frieza and Cooler squabble. Always wanted them to and I get to finally hear that. :clap:

Loved the idea of them fighting Santa, so epic and it actually works. Best Christmas abridged movie so far hands down.

The animation style is just bad compared to the old. It's pretty weird hearing the voices with this animation style. Nothing you guys can do there.. I lol'd when Gohan got his gift and wasn't on the naughty list.

Excited for anything else db abridged related. Always gets me out a slump watching these. Great work as always Teamfourstar.

I almost died at the ad pop up for crunchyroll/dragon ball super when Goku was like, "How would I ever endanger the universe?" :lol:

A lot more fourth-wall breaking/meta humour than usual for TFS. The space-time continuum bit and the Super pop-up for starters, but also the joke about Goku calling people "minor characters". That could have been lifted straight out of Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged.

Also, implying Gohan is a minor character? Have we become so jaded?

I really liked the tribute they did for Hiromi Tsuru at the end of the special. It was very nice of them to do that.

Santa fell into the darkness and lost his light. Very tragic.

Interesting how TFS chose to make a new Christmas special that now includes Vegeta as well as their modern trademark humor. Does anyone think this is their last one or can another one be made? Honestly, the only movies I can think of are:

Fusion Reborn - Maybe call it "Christmas Reborn" and have the ogre who turned into Janemba be an elf manipulated by evil. You can even have King Yemma revealed to work part-time as Krampus.

Wrath of the Dragon - Maybe call it "Christmas of the Dragon" and have Hoi also be an elf who wants revenge on Santa or something, I don't know. And Hirudegarn is a toy gone wrong while Tapion is a good elf? Ah man, I'm having too much fun.

Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return - Call it "Goku and His Friends Return for Christmas" and have Abo and Cado once again be elves (Wow, this list is very elf-themed) while Tarble visits for the holidays - paying off Vegeta's mention of him in Plan to Eradicate Christmas. (Maybe by the time this would release, Funimation would've finally dubbed it and given it their own title)

Yeah, now that I think of it - Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return is the most likely because it features a huge gathering of all the characters and lends itself most well for a Christmas special. I think TFS prefers Plan to and Yo! Son Goku as the basis for Christmas specials because they aren't as huge as Fusion Reborn or Wrath of the Dragon, which makes them free for creative reinterpretation. I just don't know when TFS would ever get to Yo! Son Goku unless they skip and show the future with the special. I have to say, it'd be nice to have Goten, Trunks, and Videl included in the Christmas special so I think it might be likely. Maybe we'll get something like this when TFS starts the Buu Saga? A trilogy of TFS Christmas specials would be pretty cool....

Actually I hope this is the last Christmas thing they do with the series I would prefer the next movies to be 'abridged' using their original plot.

I wouldn't expect another Christmas special out of us in the same vein. As in, if we make another one, it's probably going to be completely original.

I mean Zoidberg was spared by Robo Santa. He got a gift for being good, and Santa said he wouldn't kill him. Then Zoidberg ends up saving the day by electrocuting Santa. But for all intents and purpose, Zoidberg was free to go. Unlike Gohan who for some reason ended up on the shit list, even though he was told just a moment ago he was on Santa's nice list.

Oh........ Well, there's always fan-fiction. Nah, but seriously - I'm kidding. Honestly, didn't expect a reply so I appreciate it. Good job on the special and I look forward to all your TFS and personal efforts! It's admirable when DB fans take it upon themselves to put their own mark on the franchise and that's exactly what you and the TFS team have done.

In all seriousness though, I do hope Santa Claus ends up being ok in the future, despite what it all looked like. Real life is already depressing enough as it is :(

Hilarious as always. Great oneliners from all characters. First time "motherfucker" was uncensored, hey? Pushing those limits.

Was this "evil" Santa like Piccolo? Since last time we saw Santa a few years ago he was pretty nice.

On Twitter, Kaiser mentioned that since PG-13 movies are allowed one 'fuck' and yippie ki-yay motherfucker is so iconic...

They DID have Vegeta say "Da fuck's a condom?" in episode 32 or 33, I believe, so it's a once-in-a-while thing they're doing, I believe.

Just waiting for this to return. I cant wait to see Cell's reaction to Gohan going SSJ2.

And the Buu Saga is bound to be fucking hilarious. Ik after the DBZ arcs are done they'll cut into Super. But I'm honestly also kinda hoping they do a few skits for GT as well.

They won't. They have no plans on abridging Super or GT. Their idea is to finish all Z episodes and movies and then later abridge original DB arcs in movie format.

I think there's (or was) something going on that'll prevent them from doing Buu let alone anything else.
