I've seen quite a lot of people saying that 21 is significantly better than 20.

I can understand this as 20 was really a gimmick episode, playing to the wrestling nature we set up for Recoome. I am curious, though, if there's anyone who significantly enjoyed 20 and it's theme?

I sure did, can't say I'm a fan of wrestling but it was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it. Sure I enjoyed 21 more but by no means was 20 bad - in fact I found it to be one of my favourites.

20 wasn't bad but I enjoyed 21 better. I'm not big into wrestling but it was still funny to watch.

I've been following you guys since ever, I've watched every episode, special and little animations. I don't want to sound demanding or like a douche or something, but I feel I have to make this suggestion, what about the first 2 movies?

I know you did them at one point, it wasn't the same team, some voices were different, so were the type of jokes, you weren't even called Team Four Star back then. But now that you've jumped to the third movie leads me to believe you DO acknowledge those as "done", but the whole style now looks completely different, obviously because of the lack of animation and video manipulations skills. Are you ever gonna redo this movies? I mean, they're already half done, I think (in my layman view) that all you need to do is just tweek it a bit, but at least the video is already mostly done.

I feel the need to ask for this, not just as a long time fan, but also for completeness sake.

Regards and definitely keep up the amazing work!

I LOVED episode 20. As a wrestling fan, I thought it was hilarious.

As a non-wrestling fan, I also thought episode 20 was hilarious.

You don't really have to be a wrestling fan to see what they were going for.

Is it just me, or is Ghost Nappa smarter than regular Nappa?

If dying makes you smarter, by the end of DBGT, Kuririn should be a genius.

The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Is it because Ghost Nappa is actually a psychotic break Vegeta had after he got beaten on Earth?

I'm sorry, but I can neither confirm nor deny that theory of yours.

Good eye.



The new episode was pretty great. It once again proved why this is my favorite way to watch the show. I love how stupid Goku is...

Ghost Nappa as a psychotic break? I like that concept. XD
Curious to see what happens if Vegeta has any additional mental or psychological breakdowns.

Given that the first two movies had some of their best jokes and most of what would become Team Four Star anyway, I say leave the first two alone.

Yeah but, all I'm saying is they could remake it very simply by adding some musical queues and video editing, an intro like the new ones and all that jazz, so they're more like the TFS style.

So essentially it's a call to "remaster" them?
